Apologies for the double.post, but this deck also doesn't have any way to get multiple creatures in play at the same time. Casting normally, each Halimar Excavator's ability needs to resolve before the next one can be cast. "Flicker" cards like Displace and Ghostly Flicker can get you the effect you're looking for, and Ghostly Flicker can also help Iceberg Cancrix as you flicker lands.

Update!

Out: 20 total cards! 1. Time of Ice, 2. Muldrotha, the Gravetide, 3. Iceberg Cancrix, 4. The Tarrasque, 5. Time of Ice, 6. Emergent Ultimatum, 7. Glittering Frost, 8. Boreal Outrider, 9. Faceless Haven, 10. Shimmerdrift Vale, 11. Avalanche Caller, 12. Frostwalk Bastion, 13. Coldsteel Heart, 14. Fabled Passage, 15. Opulent Palace, 16. Tropical Island, 17. Underground Sea, 18. Bayou, 19. Birds of Paradise, 20. Village Rites

In: 20 total cards! 1. Primal Rage, 2. Winged Boots, 3. Darksteel Plate, 4. Panglacial Wurm, 5. Sundial of the Infinite, 6. Diabolic Vision, 7. Inventors' Fair, 8. Thespian's Stage, 9. Boreal Centaur, 10. Hailstorm Valkyrie, 11. Druid Class, 12. Expedition Map, 13. Thing in the Ice  Flip, 14. Glorious Sunrise, and 2x Snow Forest, 3x Snow Island, 1x Snow Swamp

With this new design, we're looking to keep Jorn alive longer and deal more damage. There's also more ways to summon Marit Lage and pump up snow creatures. The mana base is smoothed out with more snow lands, and more card draw / ramp cards. Let me know what you think of the new brew!

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.

Hi, excuse me

Isn't your land count a bit low? The deck has a bunch of cards on 2-3 curve, this would make it hard to play them.

It seems you are a bit too worried with the opponent's creatures... Profane Memento could make you less worried since you'd be gaining life. It would be less useful against opponents without creatures, but still very effective against creature-based decks.

Also, if you manage to make all lands into Snow-Covered Islands, you'd be able to run Iceberg Cancrix.

This deck can very well be Modern-legal... if you absolutely WANT to make it a Legacy deck, then you might as well use better draw spells like Ponder, Preordain.

There's a pricy card Visions of Beyond that can draw a lot too.

Fraying Sanity may be better than the creature since it's harder to remove.

Other than that, maybe Tasha's Hideous Laughter, Maddening Cacophony... But idk if those are cheap-to-buy...

Good luck ^^

Draugr Necromancer goes well with your kill spells. Restricts opponent's battlefield to graveyard too since Necromancer exiles the dead.

Spirit of the Aldergard fetches a snow land and gets bigger.

Blood on the Snow ? Narfi, Betrayer King ? Hailstorm Valkyrie ?

If you wanted to go the mill route, there's King Narfi's Betrayal and Iceberg Cancrix .

Blizzard Brawl for a bit more removal.

Magic_Aids I would stick to Dimir mill. Adding green just for Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath and Assassin's Trophy is slowing down the deck. I would take these out, maybe add in 4x Iceberg Cancrix and two more Surgical Extractions (just to make sure you get them every game). In turns of the mana base, you could add more snow basics, and take out the ones that tap for green.

Ruin Crab will help mill decks, making them faster, helping them keep up with the other Modern decks, and you showcased this well.

+1 from me!

god im trying to figure out if i should splash in black for Glimpse the Unthinkable or leave in Iceberg Cancrix for a weaker mill but nice blocker. might even use Mind Sculpt or Tome Scour just in fear that if i splash in black i wont draw into the black mana.
