How does this play, do you have a decent win/loss ratio? any colors or types of mechanics you find it lacks against?

[Qimare]

This deck is build around few mechanics:

First: draw-discard with Pollywog Symbiote (you need noncreature cards in your graveyard) and searching cards that you need at the moment with See the Truth

Second: replayable noncreature cards from you grave with Vadrok, Apex of Thunder

Third: removal and lifegain with Snapdax, Apex of the Hunt and Cubwarden

Depending on situation and cards in your hand you can play as Control deck or as Midrange deck.
There are many synergies, for example:

Marauding Raptor mutating with Cubwarden and bring you 6hp each mutation (it is powerfull against any Agro deck);

Vadrok mutating with Snapdax could bring many combos from graveyard, but most powerfull, IMHO, is to recast angelic ascension - you can EXILE any creature or planeswalker and kill 4/4 angel at the moment.

Mutating with Sea-Dasher Octopus can replay your instant spells from the graveyard , or put cat tokens on the battlefield , or kill opponent’s creature and gain you HP - all of this on the instant speed.

I’d been playing this deck only in BO1 in Arena, but my friend is playing BO3.

This deck might be not such effective against discard from the open hand T2-T3-T4. Against this you ought to play more draw effects, such as frantic inventory ( siding out scourching dragonfire ).

Also, this deck is week against exile effects, such as Elspeth Conquers Death or Despark or Dire Tactics.

The real nightmare is such deck as:

My own win/loose ratio in bo1 is such as:
Monored - above 75%
Monogreen - above 50%
Cat-Cauldron decks:
- above the 75% if there is no argonizing remorse and kroxa in deck
- beneath the 50% if there are discard effects in the deck
Cycling - beneath 25% - cycling can win without interaction with you (in bo3 - side-in counterspells and enjoy)
Reclamation - 50/50
Temur adventures - I have no decent statistic, but it seems to be 50/50
Bant ramp - 50/50
Sultai ramp - above 50%

In playing with all other decks, such as:
UWx controls
Monowhite lifegain
RG agro
BGx adventures
Uxx flash
I don’t have decent statistics.

If you have any ideas for improving this deck or you have decent statistics in bo3 - pls, share.
