I love the idea!

For me, I'd go with 2-3x Parallel Lives instead of Fervor, just so I get max tokens. I love the deck, I might give it a shot. Thanks for sharing!

MrSilk Part of the reason for Fervor is so that you could use the sac outlets to reproduce the Chronozoa and swing with the newly replicated ameobas on the same turn as another option for victory as well as them being affected by summoning sickness after replicating on upkeep, assuming I'm remembering summoning sickness rulings correctly. I do agree that Parallel Lives is a good card to splash green for in this deck, nothing wrong with EVEN MORE Chronozoa every turn.

WHAT A FUN LIST!!! Don't you think Opt or Serum Visions are better than Anticipate.

Opt and Serum Visions are both viable options in place of Anticipate, and can be swapped out for them if you wanted to since they're very similar in usage.

Here's my take on Anticipate over them, both are basically a 1 cmc version of Anticipate, with Opt going down 1 less than the others. Anticipate is useful as it let's you go 3 cards deep and choose any of them to put in your hand then put the others away, while in Serum Visions case you draw the top card no matter what, so it could be a dead draw while the scry afterwards is going to only come into effect next turn( or next draw). There's also the difference in sorcery and instant speed, so you can't hold mana and bluff a counterspell then cast Serum Visions before the end step of your opponent's turn like you could with the other two. Opt let's you go scry first which is nice, but seeing only 2 cards may not be enough for you to get the cards you want.

Since there's a fairly decent amount of copies of each card, putting them on the bottom doesn't make it so you have a reduced chance of getting it if it was a crucial card. Overall it's more a choice between if you prefer the ability to pull cards from deeper in your deck or top deck manipulation, in my case I prefer pull cards from deeper down.

Man I loved the combo so much that I tried my own list to play on Cockatrice. I just went in a full combo/control UW style and it worked well!

Here is my list if you want to try:

I have my own version of this deck--the combo is a tad slow, but quite fun when it goes off.

While you listed this as budget-friendly I cannot stress how powerful Phyrexian Unlife is alongside Solemnity--well worth the additional expense. So long as both these cards are in play, you cannot be killed.

Oh right I forgot about the silliness of Phyrexian Unlife and Solemnity. Maybe not mainboard but I'm gonna switch out Paradox Haze with it since I realized paradox is kinda useless if solemnity is out and it's not too much of an increase in price for switching. Thanks!
