The Island Sleep Tonight

[Potato Chop]

I'm a big fan of a good Arixmethes deck, and after seeing this, I'm determined to get my hands on a copy of him. Serpent of Yawning Depths + Arixmethes just makes me smile. If only you had access to Unleash Fury

I love the deck anyway but the upvote was because of my favorite funny pet card I love using and that is Permeating Mass. However I did some looking around so suggestions/ideas are clockspinning, nesting grounds, power conduit, quarry hauler, and Chisei, Heart of Oceans. Not that these have or haven't crossed your radar just suggestions

Thank you for your suggestions.  Power Conduit definitely slipped by me.  I'll have to keep that one in mind as I play test.


I did think about the other ones.  My strategy is to draw cards and play a bunch of 1 mana spells to remove counters.  Then my higher CMC cards are to pillowfort/stax and get my 12/12 through combat.  So Quarry Hauler and Chisei didn't make the cut at CMC 4.  I really considered Clockspinning; but I didn't see me using the buyback option very often.  Cut it in favor of draw spells.  And unfortunately, Nesting Grounds is currently in my Kathril deck.  Otherwise it would be there.

Yes.  Because Simic doesn't have access to power doubling/double strike ... I went with the theme of getting rid of the legend rule and making things "become" a copy of Arixmethes.

Ooooh I didn't notice the buyback on clockspinning. I was concentrated on the 1 mana cost instant that when it is cast you could remove 2 counters from Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle. Figuring you do that on an opponents end step when Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle has only 2 counters on it and of course you have a 12/12 on your turn ready for action.

Grappling Hook and Fireshrieker, on the other hand...

Biovisionary loves the cloning thing you have going on, if you need an alternate win.  It may require you to go more all-in on the cloning, though.
