Deck discussion for MonoBlue Moonfolk

I saw your deck and it inspired me to make a Moonfolk deck myself. However, Mine turned out to be more of a "Landfall" deck. Here are a few things I found which might really work out for you in this deck.

First i think you need to take more advantage of you "Amulet of Vigor". Amulet + Patron of the Moonfolk + Simic Growth Chamber = Inifinite mana loop. There are several lands out there like "Simic Growth Chamber", so them being inconsistent in a draw is irrelevant. Then the "Patron of the Moonfolk" can easily be tutored for via "Summoner's Pact". The Amulet is a little more tricky to get. But there are a few things you can do to attempt to get it. One would be "Trinket Mage" but you may not want to stray from the "Moonfolk" idea. If that's the case you should look into "Fabricate".

Last but not least, the problem of getting your Patron onto the field. Obviously you can sac a creature to make him cheaper, which probably would work fantastically, but there are faster ways to get him out there if you manage to get the draw. A card called "Summer's Bloom" is one card in particular which is a beautiful combination with your Amulet. With the combination of the 2, you can have the Patron out on turn 2, and an infinite Mana Loop on turn 3.

With the infinite Mana Loop, your "training Grounds" end up looking quite silly. so that's probably what i would suggest to take out if you decide to go with the mana loop.

I'll admite that "High Tide" Give's you your infinite mana loop as well under certain circumstances. But I don't think it's as effective and/or reliable.

Retraced Image is pointless. The only thing you could use it on is Soratami Savant to help sac to put a patron on the battlefield. This combination is specifically requiring having a Savant both on the battlefield, and in your hand, having a Patron in your hand, and having Retraced Image in your hand. And if you ever do get the combination off, and draw another Retraced Image, it ends up being a giant rock in your hand. Correction, a very small pebble, seeing as throwing a giant rock at someone could actually do some damage =P.

Lastly, having an infinite mana loop ends up draining a player's hand very quickly... as in instantly... Having some form of draw cards in the deck would work really well for you. Specially if it's a spell because you can copy it infinitely and literally draw your deck and play every card in your deck at the same time. (including all of your lands with the patron)

Sorry for the essay but i hope this all helps if you even read it =)...

P.S. Thanx for the inspiration, and here's the link to my deck if you need more ideas or just didn't understand what cards I was talking about!
