It is an aggro-evasion type deck. It does well vs. other aggro decks, but does poorly against Wildfire or any other Land destruction decks. Heartbeat destroys this deck also. Along with your comments I would like help creating a sideboard. I know that it will have 4 Jittes in it and probably run Pithing Needles and Threads of Disloyalty.

my only suggestion would be to drop the consuming vortices for some kind of hard counter.

you failed to mention how you do against striaght control,
anyway
my borad for you would look something like
4 naturalize(pretty much useful mainboard but youve got those spots filled,)
4 hinder(definite weapon against heartbeat and anything else)
4 voidslime(see hinder)
3 spellsnare (watchwolf,helix,jitte,pyroclasm,volcanic hammer,sakura tribe elder... you get the idea)

o and where are your plaxmantas? any u/g aggro deck needs 4 main board

personally i like plaxcaster and vinelasher. plaxcaster = 3/3 for 3 mana that can become untargetable. and vinelasher just gets big.

I'd change sakuras for coiling oracles and initiates for llanowar elves.

Perhaps you could consider including ninja of deep hours. I'd drop might of oaks for it.

Simic aggro needs Plaxcaster Frogling and Plaxmanta. End of story.
