Several approaches to Sultai in Standard. All of these are based around the (potential?) potency of Torrent Elemental. After watching some matches and the results at the last FNM, I'm getting ideas about sideboards.

Ramp to mid-range control, heavy Simic
This version has fun with face down cards.


 * [4] Embodiment of Spring
 * [4] Rattleclaw Mystic
 * [3] Cloudform
 * [3] Write Into Being
 * [-2] Hooded Hydra
 * [3] Torrent Elemental
 * [2] Whisperwood Elemental
 * [-2] Tasigur, the Golden Fang
 * [2] Sagu Mauler
 * [2] Thousand Winds
 * [2] Aetherspouts
 * [4] Sultai Charm
 * [4] Reality Shift
 * [2] Dissolve
 * [1] Make Immense
 * [2] Treasure Cruise (Dig Through Time)

Sideboard:


 * [4] Pyrotechnics
 * [2] Negate (Stubborn Denial?)
 * [2] Nullify
 * [-1] Aetherspouts

Tempo control, heavy Simic
Still a lot of face down cards, but less ramp.


 * [4] Rattleclaw Mystic
 * [4] Icefeather Aven
 * [3] Cloudform
 * [3] Write Into Being
 * [3] Torrent Elemental
 * [2] Sagu Mauler
 * [2] Trail of Mystery

Tempo control, heavy Golgari
More focus on Delve, particularly Soulflayer.
