I had a similar idea that I'm trying to make work.  {Curse of the Swine} serves as a pseudo board sweep for big threats and gods cuz you can block pigs all day. I haven't figured out how this sort of thing can survive with any momentum after a supreme verdict though. That's been my main hangup.

Mine should be in the second page. It was called Bant Defender if you wanna take a look at it. I did the same but ran into draw power issues so splashed white for sphinx. Mine wasn't nessecarrily budget but still was a lot of fun to play.

@ Bop: yeah board sweepers are a pain in the butt for this deck but that is what my sideboard will be geared at stop(I hope) and {Curse of the Swine} is a great sideboard card when vs g/w decks, Thanks for the input will have to try it.

@ Arbitratur: Thanks, I love trying to make rares everyone thinks are junk in to something good.

@ Soshi: I did have a look at you bant defenders it is very cool and I would love to run something like that but I am trying to make just Simic work for now.

@ Piate Jonh: {Akroan Horse} is just another wincon if they can't get rid of him you just overwhelm them with 1/1s done it a few times.

A buddy was using bant defender/mill just milling with  {Jace, Memory Adept} it was a turbo fog deck as well, white came in handy for playing  {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} and  {Rootborn Defenses} the deck was pretty solid and seemed to work.

I thought about {Jace, Memory Adept} but I have {Doorkeeper} for the mill wincon but I do like him might throw him in the sideboard.

Have updated the deck I added a sideboard it's very general right now(could be better) and -1 {Colossus of Akros}, +1 {Primeval Bounty}.
