3 way —Aug. 10, 2013
played free for all, blue control vs dimir/rakdos vs my bant....
even with all the counters and discard, i managed to get 3 Biovisionarys out pulling the win with progenetor mimic.
Slaughter Games made short work of my Supreme Verdict and many of my Detention Spheres were Counterspelled. with a counter, Silence counter i lost one of my Clones the first mimic to just a counter, long challenging game.
the idea was to pull Avacyn's Pilgrim for Abundant Growth but in the new year abundant growth will be out.

hoping new block will have more utility draw, something with ramp lol. need replacers for Farseek and Avacyn's Pilgrim everybody is a critic.

i could use Elvish Mystic but then i would need a white replacer.

Banty sliver have some potential but the Biovisionnary deck have potential. Oh and try putting some supreme verdict so you can clear the battlefield before putting biovisionnary.

definitely switch the Cyclonic Rift for Supreme Verdict since It's a cheaper field wipe, just watch out for match ups where indestructible is viable. Boros Charm , Rootborn Defenses and such.

-that is why i've favoured Cyclonic Rift but held onto Supreme Verdict in my sideboard.

Cackling Counterpart + Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or other such populate cards can get you an army of Biovisionary if all goes well, the life gain off Trostani, Selesnya's Voice helps a lot as well. If you can't get your hands on Sphinx's Revelation then Urban Evolution works out suprisingly well and is dirt cheap to get, I'm using it in my bant deck (Populate and Control) until I can get a few more Sphinx's Revelation myself. Supreme Verdict is better main deck for you then Cyclonic Rift since you're not so worried about attacking after wiping there side of the board with Cyclonic Rift . Seems like fun, maybe a bit too slow though. +1

Cackling Counterpart would be awesome, i did have Trostani, Selesnya's Voice in the mix with Supreme Verdict , i will finally get to test it tonight in its current build. I did have a Sphinx's Revelation but cannot find it at this time :( I will definatly look for more.
Thank you

To be honest this deck isnt so good right now because;1-You need some more card draw with maybe think twice or sphinx's of revelation2-Maybe you should add a bit more control but that's just me3-Even with Loxodon smiter you will need some 1 or 2 drop that can hold off fast aggro.
I lvoe the idea tho nice work!
