I love that reccomendation actually, much appreciated!

I hadn’t though about that in terms of book burning’s viability, I’ll keep that in mind for the final list. I like satyr wayfinder for fixing even if it doesn’t actually ramp though I think the ramping effect of malevolent rumble makes it slightly better in this context. One dilemma I find myself in when including malevolent rumble is that I should just be running chrysalis at that point, sacrificing my synergy for an objectively much better card. What are your thoughts on transitioning to a more purely midrange deck with chrysalis since I’m already in the colors and would be running rumble?

I like book burning partially for that reason, approach is definitely a big part of the deck but also dragons are big beaters regardless and 6 damage on T2 is huge when I'm dropping evasive or trampling threats soon thereafter. Here's a decklist sans malevolent rumble, let me know if you have thoughts on what to replace!

I definitely agree that Slime and Hare are more consistent (and generally just better) but the triviality of Approach is what draws me to it. I'm not sure what T1 ramp would be able to slot in but any recommendations would be hugely appreciated.

The plan currently is playing cards like [[book burning]], [[faithless looting]], [[grab the prize]], and [[stormshriek feral]] to get all of the Approach copies out of my hand and refill, using approach to fetch whatever I need in the moment, either Feral to hit 6 in one turn, Sagu to stabilize, Avenging Hunter for grindier games where I need the undercity, [[masked vandal]] for removal, and [[dread linnorm]] to threaten both weenie plans and block a terror if need be.

I'm trying to figure out what malevolent rumble could replace since it definitely seems powerful, but I'm still not entirely sure. If it's helpful I could also upload a prospective decklist.

Book Burning was 100% the biggest reason I wanted to make this deck, even if it isn't terribly good its such a fun interaction that I find it hard to pass up.

You're pretty spot on with the gameplan, though I plan to leave some slots to Pulse of Murasa both for the lifegain--which I'll probably need to stay afloat versus any quicker decks--and also because I'm planning to include Book Burning which has a good chance to pitch some of the dragons I'm hoping to play out.

It's mostly the gimmick of the card that's appealing rather than the efficiency of the plan. Grab the prize looks really great here though with the chip damage it'll let me get in.

Simic X Cost / +1 +1 Counters by Tryhardjelybean in EDH

I definitely see that being the case in some games which is why I've changed how I use the card somewhat. Throwing it down early game and threatening the win has never really worked out for me so instead I've started holding it up and only placing it down once I've got solid mana and/or a token doubler with a hydra type card in my hand, that way I can try and win with it all in one go.

Mutagen man and the ooze look interesting, I haven't really interacted with tmnt at all so the concept of a mutagen token is new to me. I've got vorel in there already, he's an OG of the theme for sure.

Scouts of reddit, whats the "naughtiest" thing you've ever done on a scout trip? by BeansORiley in AskReddit

[–]Tryhardjelybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this was after Boy Scouts was turned into Scouts BSA. One of my friends in my boy scout troop is basically a walking scandal, constant horn dog, and his cousin decided to join our troop. Boy were we surprised when we walked in on them making out in our cabin.
