Medomai is just in there for the WTF factor, I'm not stuck on splashing white just for him. Kinda iffy about running so few creatures. Comments, questions, criticism welcome. Haven't playtested it yet, waiting for halftime on NE @ ATL.

Edit: Couple changes made

Just wanted to address this, because it could be relevant - if you play it right, they can't tap down the demon by sacrificing a creature.

If you whip it back in the Beginning of Combat step, it won't have been in play "at the beginning of combat", and so the demon's trigger won't ever go on the stack.
Whip can only be activated as a sorcery though.

21 lands seems a smidge low, do you ever have many mana problems? I know the curve isn't that high, but possibly missing a turn 3 or 4 land drop can be horrible.

Prophet of Kruphix is sweet. As is activating Polukranos for 83 mana.
That looks very interesting. I might have to try it out for next week's FNM. I'll be losing a few things from my Gr devo deck (Xena, Rurik, Domri), and I'll hve to pick up some Prime Speakers, but it would be nice to shake up my deck a bit. Thanks for the post.

Celestial Flare in the board off only 8 white sources seems a bit tough. And I don't think you'll be reliably casting Yoked Ox in time for it to matter - I think I like Returned Phalanx much better as an early defender.

Rakdos Cackler is an uncommon.

I do like the plan of "make the most of Gary", though.
Derped hard on the Cackler, thanks for that. Shuffled a couple things around. I do agree that Flare with 8 white sources will be a little hard, but there isn't a lot of creature kill in pauper. Maybe switch with Smite? W for destroy blocked creature doesn't seem too bad in the format.

I'm trying to tweak my Simic Masters deck after playing a couple matches with it. They were both against random control decks, and I ended up losing by deckout by one of them just because I couldn't push enough damage through all their counters. Let me know what you guys think:

This is the big issue. Against control, 4 Mutas really makes a huge difference. Playing my Uw deck against esper, I did more damage with mutas than anything else in the deck.

I think the Red Dictate would be terrible, since it'll really screw over your life total from aggro/burn decks.. Thassa is most useful when she's a creature, even though her Scry 1 helps a lot. Maybe try out Prognostic Sphinx in that slot instead? Do you have any Dissolves instead of Psychic Strike?

Made the changes you suggested - dropped Dictate of the Twin Gods and 2 Psychic Strike for 3 Dissolve, and both Thassa for 2 Prognostic Sphinx. I was iffy on it because I wanted a bit more to do during early game, but I guess playing a control deck means you don't care much for early-game permanents. I'll test it out tonight before draft, thanks.

I just thought it would be interesting to note that this was posted back in September of last year. Funny how you can see the early form of what eventually evolved into Mono U Devotion as we know it.

I wanted so badly to make Master tokens, swing with them, then "oh by the way Biomass Mutation everything is a 6/6." :allears: I even tried to run it as a spicy 1-of when I ran a real MUD this standard. If that deck had more creatures and less spells, I would've actually been on to something. Neat to look back on to that though, thanks!

If you're running Nissa, why not Overgrown Tomb over Wastes? Tomb is a forest, so you could get more use out of her untap ability.
