Sideboard

Notes:
Newer deck I am gonna try, it have a nice 2.12 mana curve and is also good post rotation!!

particle

{plasm capture} and then poop out a huge {genesis hydra} or something.

Anoobass

I'm more of a fan of trample and just blow the opponent out of the water with 1000000 counters.

Anoobass

{Chariot of victory} is a nice {1} equip, or go for {hunter's prowess} and draw all the cards.

Jloe41

While I like the plasm idea, as I said about this deck is that it is all still good post rotation! And for more card draw, I thought about running bidet of thassa possibly

blackychan1

May I suggest {nylea, god of the hunt}? Simply because you can have all the 1/1 counters on a creature that you want, but it will still be blocked by {elspeth, Sun Champion}'s 1/1 soldier tokens.

Jloe41

I do like the idea of nylea in there. The only
Time I have had to worry about elspeth tokens has been when they let skulker stay on the field, then I don't get all those tokens to out number hers.

Jloe41

Possibly take out a follower or two for nylea?

Tabooist

{life's legacy} works wonders with chasm skulker.

Jloe41

I have tried running life's legacy in it, if it was instant instead I would like it more! I just can't really see it being useful in here, like what would I sac with it? I can already get a card draw if dakra is on the field, elvish is obvious mana ramp to use early or even for hero's effect. And I couldn't see myself using it on prognostic sphinx. But I would like to hear your opinion about how to use it!!!

Honestly any simic deck I see that tries to use {chasm skulker}, I suggest {life's legacy}. I agree that it would be Soo much better if it were an instant. The ideal situation is to have two or more chasm skulkers in play, life's legacy to sac one and get tokens and more counters on the other. I suppose {quicken} could help with making life's legacy instant speed but that's, at most, four more slots that you'd need.

Ahh yeah I could see it working well with two skulkers on the field, the only problem is, everyone I seem to play wants him gone asap, so if I don't have anything to stop that at the time, I don't usually have more than one at a time. Also depends on the deck I am playing against

Haha. It all depends on your meta. I play mostly casual. So I could see ppl wanting him gonna ASAP. Hopefully the others can help fine tune your deck.

I'm thinking about removing the 4 negates and trying 2 bidet of thassa and 2 life's legacy. Let me know what ya think!

Still trying to work my way around rabble red and burn type decks!!
