Deck overview

This deck is a focused Simic combo deck built around Prime Speaker Vannifar. It uses Vannifar as a Birthing Pod in the command zone to chain through a sequence of untap creatures and win the game in a single turn. By sacrificing cheap mana dorks, Vannifar tutors through Corridor Monitor, Hyrax Tower Scout, Breaching Hippocamp, Body Double, and Woodland Bellower into Protean Hulk. The Hulk death trigger immediately fetches Incubation Druid, Vigean Graftmage, and Shrieking Drake, generating infinite mana. From there, loops with Tidespout Tyrant and Great Oak Guardian bounce every opposing permanent and pump your board for a same-turn lethal attack. The deck features high tutor redundancy and reliable Turn 4 execution, though it relies heavily on Vannifar surviving summoning sickness and navigating instant-speed creature interaction.
