Abominable Treefolk

Snow Creature — Treefolk

Trample

Abominable Treefolk's power and toughness are each equal to the number of snow permanents you control.

When Abominable Treefolk enters the battlefield, tap target creature an opponent controls. That creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.

Thanks for checking out the deck AlwaysRoomForXmasPud!

This is by far my favorite home brew EDH deck to date. I placed it in Bracket 2 because it does perform rather well against other modern precons (it recently took a win against a LOTR precon and 2x WOE precons at the table). The deck probably needs to be placed in Bracket 3 due to it having some "game changers" in it.

It is indeed pretty optimized for what it is and what its trying to do. It doesn't get much immediate hate, but folks definitely get worried when the number of snow permanents starts to creep up mid-game. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping Jorn alive against heavy removal decks, which is why this deck has gone through so many developments over the years.

I've never cast the back side of Jorn, although I have thought about building a deck around it. It would be quite different than what it is now. I have, however, gotten Marit Lage out a number of times, gotten Replicating Ring to replicate, and had Moritte of the Frost copy a 28/28 Abominable Treefolk before :)

I built the deck mainly for my love of the Ice Age and Cold Snap blocks, to include their story lines. Kaldheim brought about a number of great cards and flavor to the game as well!

Very nice list. More than once I've thought about building Isu, but I also have my Jorn list to tend to.

I recommend Glacial Revelation which is underestimated card draw. Rimefeather Owl and Abominable Treefolk tend to serve me well.

Please stop by my Jorn list and provide some feedback when you have time :)

multimedia on Muldrotha Snow: The Frozen Forest

Hey, well done with such a low budget, The Undead Forest is a cool deck name. Interesting deck idea for your first Commander deck with Muldrotha, but why snow? Weathered Runestone completely shuts down Muldrotha.

Marit Lage's Slumber, Jorn, God of Winter  Flip, Priest of the Haunted Edge, Blood on the Snow, Ice-Fang Coatl these are some reasons to play snow with Muldrotha. Iceberg Cancrix can repeatable self-mill and that's a good effect with Muldrotha. Pilfering Hawk can be repeatable loot which gets cards into your graveyard. Unfortunately, this isn't many cards.

Draugr Necromancer is a good card with snow, but it doesn't have much interaction with Muldrotha. Dead of Winter is another good card with snow, but Muldrotha is not a snow creature. Narfi, Betrayer King is fine, able to reanimate itself with snow, but he's support for snow not really a reason to play snow.

Some advice to consider is to play nonsnow cards that can put snow-covered permanents (lands) onto the battlefield to meet the snow requirement for snow cards without playing lots of unnecessary snow creatures. The best way to get snow permanents is with snow-covered lands. You really don't need lots of other subpar snow creatures here.

All these creatures could be cut to improve your deck.

Instead of playing lots of lesser snow creatures, play just the better snow creatures here?

Use other deck slots for cards that can search for and get snow-covered lands onto the battlefield?

Consider adding some spells that are not permanents that can search for and put snow-covered lands onto the battlefield?

Cards that can get snow-covered lands into your hand as well as get cards into your graveyard can be helpful with Muldrotha.

Could also add some snow mana rocks and mana dorks?

Land ramp for snow-covered lands and mana from mana rocks is more ramp which also helps to cast 6 mana Muldrotha as well as having more mana to cast permanents from your graveyard when you control Muldrotha.

Example of a budget more refined creature base with snow.

Good luck with your deck.

Some thoughts:

  • Most modern decks can’t justify running more than 3-4 cards costing 4 mana, and often run nothing above this cost. You’ve got a whopping 15 cards costing 4-or more, which is faar too much and going to lead to some very slow plays. I’d suggest reducing the curve significantly.

  • there are a bunch of strong cards from MH1 that could help your deck play a LOT stronger. Namely Ice-Fang Coatl, Marit Lage's Slumber, Dead of Winter, and possibly Abominable Treefolk.

  • 2 mana is kindof the absolute most you want to pay for a generic killspell, so i’d advise against Poison the Cup. Fatal Push would serve you much better.

So I've freshened up my memory on some snow permanents, and I've taken a deeper look at your creature list in particular. I think you can take out Burnished Hart, Rootweaver Druid, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Wolfbriar Elemental, Yavimaya Elder and replace with the following:

Centaur Omenreader cut CMCs instead of ramp

Abominable Treefolk

Berg Strider fits tap theme

Boreal Druid mana dork

Draugr Necromancer

I suggest taking out those other five creatures because I count 8 ramp spells under sorcery and I think those all look great!

Then I'd take out one of your lands for Dark Depths, which is also huge flavor.

And lastly, I do not see any boardwipes besides Torment of Hailfire so Blood on the Snow seems pretty great here!

Sorry if that's a lot to throw on. Your card draw, counters, mana curve and control all seem excellEnt. You know your deck better than I do though so maybe some of my suggestions aren't good. Let me know!

zapyourtumor, thank you for your comment.

Expedite felt needed (from FNM experience with an older Snow pile) to make Abominable Treefolk and Marit Lage token attack asap, since they're the win conditions. After KHM it's also nice to hit Jorn, God of Winter  Flip with it.

Growth Spiral is just a bit of draw and ramp here (dropping snow basics is the safest way to stack snow permanents), it also feels nice coupled with Ice-Fang Coatl for feints, keeping things flexible. And yeah, I would have boarded 4 if the list needed more Lands.

As for Wall of Shards, yeah it looks janky, I just wanted to give it a try, with Glacial Revelation and stuff like that, any cheap snow permanent with out-of-the ordinary kit feels worth trying. In Modern and its short matches the upkeep effect might not be relevant, since we're trying to hit face with big creatures.

I was actually giving some thought to Lightning Bolt as a Modern staple too good not to use, it's just that the list is so cramped already, and I want to keep it flavorful.
