if i could get my hands on 1-2 more SoP's, i would swap a grabby and a frog for it

the playstyle is pretty simple:
play the creatures you want (while keeping discression depending on your opponent)
drop SoP asap
use utility creatures to mess with your opponent's creatures
use druid to get steal/destroy mutation (only mutate 1 creature due to it resetting stats gained by SoP)
ditch SoP when you can OTK

Replace Psion with Phase Salvager or Immortal
Potential in dropping a Graboid for Pulverizer, and then maybe replacing Fallen Druid with Protect Artifact. But burrowed Shriekers with SoPa is good
If you don't go for Pulverizer, potential in replacing Heal with Druidic Staff. Useful point: Not useful for opponent if they Steal
An upped Hourglass could replace SoBr

i like the salvager idea (though i will probably try, but the pulvy and PA idea would make it too heavy on gravity and earth. oty is the star of the deck when patience is on the field. so a pulvy would only slow him down more than he already is. the PA is a nice idea, but the chances of drawing it soon enough is too low. later in the game, a pulvy would be fine. quanta isnt as much of an issue, but i have to be able to survive early game for it to even matter

Fair points against Pulvy, save testing it until you've upped your novas, as Pulvy+PA would would remove the usefulness of Nova over Supernova in giving for the Druid. The PA's draw consistency comes from the Phase Salvager (as you only really need to draw one of them)

Really the draw consistency weakness is SoP, which you've already mentioned

On the topic of Oty: what does this deck (assuming more SoP) offer over Swallow? I suppose there's the Sanctuary component, and the innate rainbow defense against Devourers and Discords. I personally liked the number of double damage creatures
