No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Snakes' fangs

I can't help but notice that Coiling Oracle is not in their. You have something against his elvin heritage or you just don't want the best snake ever in your deck ;)
For the sake of flavor, Seshiro the Anointed seems more appropriate than Overbeing of Myth(but that's for flavor, not performance). Last thing, Ohran Viper would be better than Patagia Viper for card advantage.
Outside of that, it's a pretty neat casual deck.

A possibility or two for snakes to win out:

1. Overwhelming force - easy to do, slow to build. You need mana in force, some form of ramp. After you get your ramp up, bring out the Orochi Hatchery. Trust me, it's mean. If you have Overwhelm or any other buff cards, the game will end pretty soon.

2. Card advantage - Snakes love card advantage, so pair them up with cards that also love card draw. Empyrial Plate; Inner Calm, Outer Strength; these are some ways to use card advantage to buff out a snake to put the beat on them. Extra card-draw works in this regard as well, via the simple Ponder, or even add in Ophidian, Infiltration Lens, or Keen Sense.

3. Guile - No, not the card. To apply, simply make use of blue's manipulative tendencies, i.e. Inflitrator's Magemark, Distortion Strike. Anything to sneak past their guard and smack 'em upside their head. Green is good at sneaking too, in the form of Canopy Cover.

4. Buff - Ties into Overwhelm to an extent. Use enchantments and lord creatures to beat the hell out of them with mutated snakes. Seshiro, the Anointed and his son do this well, or go the enchantment route and utilize Gaea's Anthem (green Glorious Anthem ftw!).

Tie any of this in, and snakes become a force to be reckoned with.
