Smismic 60 cards, 0 sideboard 6 {Island} 6 {Forest} 4 {Breeding Pool} 4 {Hinterland Harbor} 4 {Flooded Grove} 24 lands 3 {Slippery Bogle} 4 {Jhessian Infiltrator} 4 {Shorecrasher Mimic} 3 {Lorescale Coatl} 4 {Master Biomancer} 4 {Mystic Snake} 2 {Murkfiend Liege} 24 creatures 1 {Sword of War and Peace} 4 {Favor of the Overbeing} 4 {Simic Charm} 3 {Invert the Skies} 12 other spells Sideboard Notes: A project my cousin and I have been working on.

My cousin decided he wants to start playing again, and I told him we were going to build him a Modern deck. We started with a simple Simic shell, it was pretty good, and yesterday we went all out and picked up {Mystic Snake}s and {Jhessian Infiltrator}s and a 4th for some cards and wow. This deck is pretty vicious now. It revolves mostly around {Shorcrasher Mimic}, the Simic Mimic 😁. That guy is a beating and a half, holy cow! We've talked about taking it Bant and running {Rafiq of the Many}, I think he'd just be really good in here with the mimic. The mana is so easy in Modern too. Any ideas? Comments?

I think it'd be cool to eventually run more swords in here, like 2 Fire and Ice and a War and Peace, and swords would just fill out the 3 drops. For now though I only had the extra War and Peace. Also we still need the {Flooded Grove}s, only part of the deck we don't technically have. The Biomancers and dual lands are mine, but I said he could just borrow 'em when we go play. I really like this deck though.

 {Coiling Oracle} is a must for this deck

He is just a better {Lorescale Coatl} as far as this deck is concerned, very good idea! We'll test it. Above all this is his deck though, I gotta run it by him first.

I think... I want to build this...  Looks like a lot of fun!!

I think the dream build is a little something like this: (sideboard isn't quite finished.)

Smismic Dues 69 cards, 9 sideboard 6 {Forest} 6 {Island} 4 {Breeding Pool} 4 {Hinterland Harbor} 4 {Flooded Grove} 24 lands 3 {Slippery Bogle} 3 {Coiling Oracle} 4 {Jhessian Infiltrator} 4 {Shorecrasher Mimic} 4 {Master Biomancer} 4 {Mystic Snake} 2 {Murkfiend Liege} 24 creatures 1 {Sword of War and Peace} 2 {Sword of Fire and Ice} 3 {Favor of the Overbeing} 3 {Simic Charm} 3 {Voidslime} 12 other spells Sideboard 4 {Trygon Predator} 2 {Sword of Feast and Famine} 1 {Sword of War and Peace} 1 {Simic Charm} 1 {Voidslime} 9 sideboard cards

So this is a tempo deck?

Pretty much. It went from Midrange to Aggro to this. I like this build though. The dream build seems pretty sweet, how did I forget {Voidslime}?!?

I love it! {Voidslime} makes it really awesome. I'll test it out on Cockatrice.

Ever considered {Shardless Agent}? I have a deck similar to this one that I play occasionally. It also has some {Nulltread Gargantuan}s.

Yeah, {Shardless Agent} would be a tad bit ridiculous in this deck.

{Invisible Stalker} would be great in this build.

I love  {Slippery Bogle} I run him in one of my modern decks :D

Except for the fact that he's mono blue.

Yeah but you got the whole unblock able hex proof theme. I mean his flavor doesn't fit but the guy is a monster

He takes away from {Shorecrasher Mimic} though. That guy is such a beat stick it's ridiculous.

This is true. This deck looks hella fun to play though

I play a deck quite similar to this on occasion, but I run {Coiling Oracle} and {Nulltread Gargantuan}.

{Coiling Oracle} is in the Master build. I hadn't thought about it before, which is weird because I play it in Pauper. The Master List is a little bit below the deck.

So I see. The reason {Nulltread Gargantuan} is so nice in decks like these is that not only is he a 5/6 for {3}, but he gives you extra value from mystic snake and coiling oracle.
