I don't quite recall what my original build is, but this is something that I kinda updated on the run. It's roughly similar to the original that I've played with, just updated with newer(?) stuff and perhaps more of a change towards 2 win conditions - pure damage, and poison counters.
If you notice, the deck has a mini-subtheme of poison, but you can't find creatures with built-in infect. Reason being, I won't want a whole army of snakes hitting for regular damage and not killing off an opponent because one of those snakes happen to be a Blight Mamba. Remember, infect replaces regular damage with poison counters. Older snakes like Marsh Viper do not. They simply give poison counters to the player in addition to normal damage.
I'll try to edit this list as much as I can to my original, but I don't much time atm. Sorry for not sorting the cards according to card type - this was done using the toolbox on the run.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome, but I'm not gonna break the bank for any card. Gaea's Cradle is in there because I have a copy from my Legacy playing days, and that's probably the most expensive card in there.
I'd agree. Genesis wave too is a good play here. Probably I'm just tired of seeing the Azusa and Khamal decks going G-wave every game which is why I didn't include it.
Mistform Ultimus just for being a Snake seems pretty lame... if you want another Changeline in that spot Mothdust Changeling fits well, being evasive. You can tap a creature that still has summoning sickness to activate it without much issue.
Oh, and Vector Asp can't be played in this deck, since it has a black mana symbol in its text box.

Mistform Ultimus is in there solely because my playgroup has someone that plays a Mistform EDH. LoL. It's there just to kill off his general for once. Mothdust Changling is definitely a better choice.
Think you're referring to Vector Asp..? Thanks for pointing it out. Didn't notice since I've never used that card - it's more of an update to my decklist. LoL. Removed and replaced with mothdust.
