I have been exploring using the standard GR Monsters shell, and adding in Thassa and Rapid Hybridization in order to kill things that are out of Mizzium Mortars range.
My problem is trying to justify the splash, if there is any justification for it. I feel that adding black instead opens up more options like Dreadbore, Ultimate Price, or Golgari Charm, in addition to more reliably fusing Flesh//Blood.
I'm hoping I can get some opinion on whether splashing blue is worth it. I like Thassa for the Scry and the potential to make creatures unblockable, but maybe I'd be better off running something like Gruul Charm for the same effect?
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

If you wanted removal, then black seems like a better splash than the blue.
Plus, there's already a RUG thread?
