Standard Simic Ouroboid deck!
I’ve been looking at some non-Vivi options for the Spotlight Series in Liverpool tomorrow. This is my take on Simic, a deck full of creatures that speak right to my soul 🥦🫐
Featuring new addition, Hemasymbic Mite!

Now with delirium!
In my efforts to tune non-Vivi decks for the
Spotlight in Liverpool, I looked at last weekend’s winner
This version adds a delirium subtheme to access Violent Urge and FOMO which work so well with pumps!

Some pictures from the games. I went 3-2 in my first league with this, which is honestly better than I expected. Glaring Fleshraker is just crazy explosive with all these artifacts!

Eldrazi Paradox!
What if we played Mox Opal and Kozilek's Command in the same deck?
Glaring Fleshraker acts as the mana engine for our Paradoxical Outcome combo deck. And Cryogen Relic helps make Outcome a good fair draw spell!

This means you could sideboard powerful 5s and 6s. Summon: Titan is kinda perfect as it's on-plan and enables a new dimension to Rydia. I'd imagine the board looks like this:
4 Summon: Titan
4 Torch the Tower
2 Fire Magic
2 Negate
3 Bonnie Pall
and -1 Forest +1 Island maindeck

The problem with Rydia is that she requires you to have a card in hand in order to loot through your deck. This can be a problem when you haven'r found Nature's Rhythm.
If you have found Archway, you can get around this problem!

Deck Choices:
Springbloom Druid is a perfect enabler here. It ramps, puts lands in graveyard, and with Spelunking + Nissa it's even a ritual!
Pretty relevant, as you can go turn 3 Spelunking -> Evolving Wilds. Turn 4 Nissa + Fabled Passage and have 5 mana, one short of Lumra.

Eventually you can then use Echoing Deeps to copy Eden, and regrow all permanents in your graveyard. This is where the neat wincondition comes into play!
We can use Escape Tunnel to make all creatures unblockable, Minstrel to make them infinitely big and Bitter Reunion to haste.

WINCON
Once we've drawn our deck, we can unlock the infinite loop with Eden, Seat of the Sanctum. With 11 of our 10 fetchlands + 2 Echoing Deeps, we can generate enough to get back an Analyst and be up one mana. We gain the mana with Nissa, and sac the lands to ge them back.

Doing the first Analyst without Rydia in play is actually quite common, and one of the biggest tips I'd give for playing this deck is to not prioritize getting Rydia in play over literally anything else you could do with your mana. She'll come later, and she'll do her thing.

This might sound like a lot to put together, and it is, but it helps a lot that all the pieces help you draw towards more, and that with the new Wandering Minstrel your Nature's Rhythm can find all three pieces, as well your Lumra!

Aftermath Analyst is back!
It's Johnny Thursday, and I bring you a deck that has gone through more refinement than my last ideas - this one can actually win games!
Rydia makes the deck go completely bananas. Eden enables an infinite loop. Turn 4 kill. You gotta check this out!!

All-nighter full of drafting and a morning flight is the best way to travel to the US. Hopefully I can get some sleep on my Vegas flight and be ready for the testing house with Team Handshake Moxfield 🫡

Firion Storm!
It's time for another Johnny Thursday, and today I present a crazy, dumb and decidedly non-competitive deck.
Firions ability is kinda broken with For Mirrodin. But with the right equipment, you can actually storm off and draw your deck!

Trailblazer Combo!
Inspired by an @inspiringtimmy.bsky.social Modern brew, this standard deck tries to get Temur Battlecrier and Outcaster Trailblazer in play together. This makes your clone effects cost 1 mana, so you can clone your Trailblazer for free, drawing so many cards!

These were my draft decks. Gravy Bones and Nimbilism Puffin.
The decks looked reasonable, though I can see problems with them and with the draft process.
I had three games that were blowouts, and won two of them. And three close games, where I lost all three to misplays.

On my way home from Taipei now. These trips are giving me life!!
Made Day 2 of the Calling, but went 2-4 in draft to finish outside of prizing.
Still, always happy to day 2 these competitive draft is just so much fun 🤩

This is one of those ideas I had to bring into the world from my notepad. Does it function? Who knows!
But now we have enough Moxes that Rona could act as support for the Riddlesmith + Ovalchase Daredevil engine.

Today I finished a 4-year long campaign of Betrayal: Legacy!
(Yes it's just 13 chapters, but getting people together is harrrd)
I loved the last chapter, lots of cool mechanics. The creativity in this game is quite impressive 😁👻
And now that evil is defeated I can finally sleep well at night.
