BEST Simic Flash | Historic Deck Guide
Hi, friends! I'm back after a long hiatus, and I'm ready to rock and roll. You might read my title and wonder, "Is this really the BEST (historic) Simic Flash out there?" Let's just say it's somewhere in the top 10, or top 100--anyway, you can bet it's up there somewhere.
I have a lot to say about this build, some of which I mention in the video. Let me add that I've thought a lot about Jwari Disruption, and I think I'm going to start playing with 4 copies of it and cut down another land or two. Yes, we can't play a Disruption land off growth spiral, and yes it comes in tapped, but, frankly, this deck can function on two mana for turn 3, no problem. We have so many two-mana counterspells, so we can easily play a tap land and just be a little patient until we get to four.
Seth Manfield fans will notice that I dropped Paradise Druid. Why? I was playing with her for so long--and I love the card--but she's just so bad in the late game. Growth Spiral has late game (ramp/cycle), but PD is just so bad off the top, just so bad. Also, we're a dedicated flash deck, so we can't just hand out those premium non-flash slots to anyone except Nissa...and Krasis. Last thing I'll say about PD: on the draw in Standard, you can always throw down PD and turn two and feel OK about letting the shields down. Not so in Historic! If you play a leisurely PD on the draw, or even sometimes on the play, you can really get punished. Goblins can play Muxus on turn 3, for example.
Take care, friends!
