I wanna build a deck that only plays cards in my opponents' turns.
Brineborn Cutthroat isn't good enough, Managorger Hydra makes this card look cute, however Nightpack Ambusher is 7-power for 4-cmc, so whilst it's not a strong choice, I'm gonna test it out.
I'm looking at Bant colours so far, but if you think otherwise, please tell me which cards you would play with.
No, it's not.
In most of my games I play, there's sweepers often enough, but the deck just doesn't do enough, or do it fast enough.
Honestly, I think the deck needs some better perms to really make the most of what it might do, think Courser of Kruphix etc. But then, that's a whole different deck approach really. The flash creatures are cute, and I wanna see a deck made from them work, but they just don't do enough in this current form.
Find a way to make the deck abusive maybe ? ...something like Prophet of Kruphix or Seedborn Muse to repeatedly untap your lands and Elemental Bond and Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner to ensure that you keep drawing more creatures when you play creatures during your opponent's turn....ending up with an army and a full hand.
All good idea's, I'll be doing some tweaking for sure.
Prophet was in this deck some time ago, along with Deadeye, and it worked well enough. I might end up going back to this.
Elemental Bond looks like a good inclusion too.
Thanks

A while back Stunt Double grabbed my attention.
Core 2020 has given us a few more that work in this archetype, in Brineborn Cutthroat & Nightpack Ambusher.

4 Growth Spiral
3 Brainstorm
4 Nightpack Ambusher
4 Stunt Double
4 Selfless Squire
3 Mystic Snake
3 Frilled Mystic
1 Masako the Humorless
1 Draining Whelk
4 Cyclonic Rift
2 Crystal Shard
Crystal Shard for spamming Squire & Counter. I used to use Deadeye Navigator for this purpose, but it doesn't last a turn in my group.
Thoughts? Improvements?
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir is also a flash card I'd consider.
Hopefully you'll have a bunch of sac-lands to go along with those Brainstorms or I'd consider using Ponder/Preordain instead.
My meta: 3 or 4 player free for all, anything goes but boring games or broken decks cause a vote to end that game.
Great idea. I have these in another deck, but they would go great in here.

Heroic Intervention, Ghostway and Momentous Fall to ensure that you recover quickly from board sweepers
If you want to make the deck faster, there is always Burgeoning and bounce lands
