I think that is a different deck but it could definitely be good. That idea would fit well with the blue green evolve aggro deck my friend is working on right now.

The zoo tour was very well done and amusing. I think the deck seems quite solid as well.

That 1U cipher card that frosts a dude is pretty strong against control with their small number of blockers and helps you race aggro. Growing your Dryad the whole time doesn\’t hurt.

T2 BTE+Flunkies or Flinthoof Boar gives you a decent chunk of power on the board. Especially if you lead off with Experiment One. Seems easier on the mana than Strangleroot (although obviously Strangleroot is insurance vs sweepers, but you’ve kind of got that covered anyway with Charm). Food for thought anyway.

That is a good point you brought up. I certainly have considered quirion dryad for this deck but ultimately dismissed it. If I were going to play another two cost, I would fit in Call of the Conclave before dryad. The main reason dryad is not up higher on my list of considerations is because of Azorius Charm. That card is one of the primary means to fight against aggressive decks and we do not want to be set back by +1/+1 counters in addition to replaying the creature. This is the reason that I am not advocating an Experiment One + Champion of the perish build or one that relys heavily on the Loxodon Hierarch + Rancor + Silverblade Paladin line of play. Both of those decks loose too much tempo by casting one blue white card. With this build, you should not loose much other than the one card they are setting you back.

It certainly seems to have more upside in this deck than in most.

The question would be what to swap with it…
