So the whole deal behind this deck is that me and some friends did a Gatecrash booster draft, I ended up going U/B due to pulls, but due to the lack of good U/B cards being passed around (because 4 of the 6 of us were doing it...) I ended up taking some Green as well. As it turned out, I ended up using unblockables with cipher as a backup push. It won me second place. So here's this deck!

 

Cards like Tormented Soul and Invisible Stalker speak for themselves. Elusive Krasis is at worst a 0/4 blocker, and if needed it's an unblockable I can use, so it's been pretty versatile in this deck. Ambush Viper for flash block shenanigans. Slitherhead as a quick boost for my unlblockables as well as allowing Krasis to attack without evolving if needed. Basilica Screecher is the interesting one, because I've found you can indeed extort a Cipher casted spell. It's the cheapest cost one, plus flying allows for cipher if needed.

 

Hands of Binding is mass stall for my deck. Last Thoughts over Curiosity because Curiosity can be targetted and doesn't work with Extort. Shadow Slice meant as an endgame push. Syncopate and Murder for control.

 

Crypt Ghast fuels extort as well as extorts itself.

 

Realmwright is there because it combos ridiculously well with Crypt Ghast, and the mana control is always welcome.

 

So thoughts? Especially on the replacement for Nimbus Swimmer, and on the idea that Simic gates should be replaced by Dimir ones.
