Thick As Thieves

Kingbreaker with big attack

I think I'm going to leave it here:

4 Tifa Lockhart
4 Veteran Explorer
3 Voice of Victory
3 Elvish Reclaimer
2 Knight of the Reliquary
3 Scythecat Cub
4 Dark Confidant

4 Crop Rotation
3 Berserk
3 Snakeskin Veil

1 Swamp
4 Verdant Catacombs
4 Forest
1 Plains
4 Ghost Quarter
1 Temple Garden
1 Bayou
1 Godless Shrine
1 Dark Depths
1 Thespian's Stage
1 Maze of Ith
1 Karakas
1 Sejiri Steppe
1 Eumidian Hatchery

4 Cabal Therapy

15 Sideboard
SB: 4 Plague Engineer
SB: 1 Voice of Victory

SB: 4 Choke

SB: 1 Snakeskin Veil
SB: 3 Fatal Push
SB: 1 Swords to Plowshares

SB: 1 Bojuka Bog

The hidden piece was Eumidian Hatchery, as it turns out. A great card to get out early and a fantastic way to provide a way to the mid-late game. 

I also went for the Dark Depths combo: that is still in the consideration state. I've pulled it off once and it wasn't enough. It might just be better to cut that and the Stage for another Hatchery and an Indatha Triome

By moving the removal to the sideboard I was able to focus more on the combo aspect and add in Snakeskin Veil over the (admittedly great) Scale Up to protect my creatures. 

I also got a sharp lesson in protection when in testing I had removed Sejiri Steppe and then found I couldn't use Crop Rotation to protect my Tifa in response to a removal spell. Fixed that real quick. 

I'm not sure I can take this any further-and I highly doubt the current metagame is friendly to this deck. But it can be fun against a lot of things and I enjoy it!
