Today we are looking at Simic Toxic in Standard. I wanted to see if Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief and Venerated Rotpriest was a gimmick or not. The deck recently had a 5-0 finish on Magic Online and I will say, when you have the Rotpriest going the deck looks absolutely insane. However, when you do not have Rotpriest it can be a real struggle. The deck punishes you very harshly for misplaying, so play safe and take care of your Rotpriests. Timely Interference is a nice card to trigger Stormchaser Drake or Rotpriest; Ivy also plays well with Timely Interference. You can also kill your opponent with a giant Tyvar's Stand on your Stormchaser Drake if you also have Ivy out. This will allow you to attack for a ton of damage in the air. I want to try Bant Toxic as well and see if it's better than Simic!
