Grim Affliction

Instant

Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature, then proliferate.

I have replaced Countersquall, Recoil, and Grim Affliction with Reject Imperfection, Serum Snare, and Staff of Compleation, which sadly reduced the prevalence of black in this deck, but I feel that those replacements are far superior compared to what I had, before.

bushido_man96, are you saying that I should or that I should not replace Grim Affliction with staff of completion?

Atraxa takes care of the multiple proliferation problem. But, Atraxa can account for the fact that Grim Affliction is just a piece of shit removal spell.

Also, I cannot believe that I forgot to mention this, but Grim Affliction proliferates only once, whereas both Contagion Clasp and staff of completion can proliferate repeatedly, so that is another argument in favor of replacing the affliction with the staff.

bushido_man96, it seems to me that you are voting in favor of removing Grim Affliction, which is what I was considering, as well, but I would like to receive several more opinions before I make a decision on this matter.

Grim Affliction doesn't seem all that great as a removal spell. Sure, it fits with the proliferation theme behind Atraxa, but Swords to Plowshares is much better, and you don't have to wait a bunch of turns to proliferate something big to death. You would usually want your removal now, instead of 3 turns from now. It would be a fine card to drop.

The new staff of completion is too awesome to not put into my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, but I need to decide which card to remove to make room for it.

I think that Contagion Clasp is the best choice, since the staff is essentially a better version of it, although I could also consider Grim Affliction, but that card is useful as a removal spell, so I may wish to keep it in the deck.

What does everyone else say about this? How can I put staff of completion into my Atraxa deck?

Hey there! Mushroom time is party time with these fun guys.

Okay to make up for the horrible pun I'm going to give some suggestions. You have a lot of spore counter buildup here, and these need cultivating time to reap the rewards. I'd recommend more Proliferate to accelerate how many spore counters you can get. You currently have three accelerants, Winding Constrictor, Karn's Bastion and Sporesower Thallid in the deck. How about Grim Affliction, Spread the Sickness, Plaguemaw Beast, Smell Fear, Evolution Sage, and Throne of Geth?

What is Tainted Strike in the deck for at the moment? It doesn't look like you capitalize on wither or poison counters with this deck, so I wouldn't route the deck down that road.

The Elvish Farmer is a nice spore counter addition, but card cost is high for something you can live without.

Would having a Barter in Blood interest you? I've noticed you don't have as many Black cards in the deck, and it'd be useful for more sac opportunities that also hurt your opponent.

I am all for budget decks and think this looks very promising without breaking the bank. Good job and happy harvesting.
