Paleoloth

Creature — Beast

Whenever another creature with power 5 or greater enters the battlefield under your control, you may return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

Could add in some more cheats and recursion with a Greenwarden of Murasa or Thicket Elemental. Plus they get the buff from Goreclaw and cost just a bit less. Thanks for the upvote btw. You've given me some good ideas with Paleoloth and See the Unwritten. Decent abilities and super cheap price too.

This is an impressive list. I know how hard mono can rock from my Her Royal Fluffness list, great job. Some cards you might want to consider:

Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma , Nyxbloom Ancient , Garruk's Horde

Also, Eternal Witness is a great card, and Temur Sabertooth and/or Kogla, the Titan Ape can make it even better. Paleoloth is a massively underrated card in such a deck. Also, have you ever heard of Shared Summons ? In a deck like this, that gets to 12+ mana in no time, it can really help you get the most important creatures.

Thanks for the suggestions again Spell_Slam!

I agree with Paleoloth being weak because it was cheap version of Eternal Witness. That does feel like a better swap considering it's less mana and it's any card. Greenwarden of Murasa I dpn't own so i'll have to keep an I out for it. I also own Kessig Wolf Run which I don't know why I didn't think of that it's a perfect mana sink!

Although Predator's Rapport might be narrow for my deck I feel it would be the same as Eternal Witness were both need set up but the sudden life gain I can achieve with Predator's Rapport is far greater than Shamanic Revelation. Sense it's gain life equal to that creature's power plus its toughness, any card that is 8/8 will actually gain me 16/16 health and it really shines if no one kills Hamletback Goliath. I originally had Shamanic Revelation in here but swapped it out for Life's Legacy which has had better out comes.

I didn't know Skyshroud Claim was a ramp card! That easily far better that what I have. I've never consider putting two mana ramp cards in here because I always figure getting two lands is better than one.

Ah, but you see Paleoloth goes infinite with Zacama, Primal Calamity and Nyxbloom Ancient! (or any other 5+ power creature, the Ancient just allows for the required mana to be reached before the game has been over for three turns ;D)

That's a fair point, though, didn't think about combo.

Good stuff!

However, I have a more then a few Dino, Hydra, and Aggressive Big Creature decks in my meta, so Apex just isn't enough bang for my buck but I did think about it. Taking out a few creatures is fine, but the Ragebeast essentially turns all of my creatures into a Kill Spell. Even the smaller ones could potentially take out tokens, or Smaller utility creatures (especially since most of my smaller creatures have bigger toughnesses then attack). Id switch it for sure if I was the only big creature deck around the meta.

Lol with Champion, sometimes once is all you need: Dropping an Eldrazi or something Devastating early on can be insanely good, and depending on what comes out Champion may not always die per-se. I did think about Sneak Attack especially when I added in Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded. It IS a good addition, but I do not have enough recursion for it in the long run.

Here is where I disagree: First, GreenWarden combos and potentially goes infinite with Angel of Serenity. Second, and Its part of the reason I cut Soul of the Harvest as well: I do not like cards that rely on things happening long term and "Snowball". Now my meta is very cutthroat and aggressive: We tend to play around Power 7-8, and this deck has acclimated to that level of power (in fact, Its one of the two decks people do not like playing against, and one half of a famous rivalry in our playgroup). With Paleoloth, it depends on sticking on the board long enough to actually recur things, and I can absolutely tell you that the Meta I am in will not let it live for very long. So Unless I can get value either immediately or within the next turn, its hard to include in here as sometimes it just turns into a dead card and it is a huge feels bad to devote 6 mana to a card that could get nothing in return. I know that that could be said for anything, but we could be using that 6 mana to activate Mayael... Plus, I have recursion (kinda) solved with the Eldrazi titans. Usually, I can bank on Sacing them to something if I really need to get my stuff back in action, which then puts my whole 'yard back in the library. It IS a good card, but I know in an aggressive meta where I dont have the luxury of it sticking around a few turns, it just doesnt work as well.

I am getting my Commander Legends boxes soon, and there is gonna be some goodies coming in here for sure, I am gonna be updating almost all of my decks (if not all of them) very soon.

More stuff!

I'd cut Gruul Ragebeast as it isn't a may ability--so it can be a bit risky if, say, you play a Seedborn Muse or recast your Commander after you get it into play. I'd replace it with an Apex Altisaur, a pseudo-boardwipe on a massive body.

I'd also consider cutting Champion of Rhonas--all of your other <5 power creatures are POWERHOUSES, but the Champion is subject to being blocked out and only being able to be activated once. My suggestion is a Sneak Attack: it can allow for turns where you drop 3 beaters out of your hand in one turn, and kill someone so you don't care that they are sacrificed. Apropos of your creatures being sacrificed... do you want more recursion? Paleoloth would be your best bet for that, I think it's even better than the Greenwarden.

PhotogenicParasympathetic on REBIRTH OF THE STORM!

3 years ago

Hello friends!!!

Way back when, I built a mono-green storm deck, based around Jugan, the Rising Star - the deck required Paradox Engine to go off, and so was broken when the Engine was banned.

But guess what? Now, with the printing of Kodama of the East Tree, I think mono-green storm can be reborn!! Will it be good? Probably not! But will it be hilarious when it goes off? Absolutely!!

So here's what I've got:

I need a mana dork that taps for at least seven (I'm thinking Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Gyre Sage, Viridian Joiner, or Marwyn, the Nurturer) in play.

I need Quirion Ranger/Scryb Ranger in play.

I need Ambush Krotiq in hand.

I need Invasive Species in hand.

I need Paleoloth in play.

I need a sacrifice outlet in play.

And I need Kodama of the East Tree in play.

Tap the Mana dork, pick up a forest with the Ranger to untap, tap the Dork. 14 mana.

Use six to cast the Krotiq, putting the Invasive Species into play with the East Tree. Krotiq bounces the Quirion Ranger, Species bounces the Krotiq. Pick up something random with the Paleoloth.

Sacrifice the Species.

Recast the Quirion Ranger, put the forest into play with the East Tree. Untap the Mana dork, tap for seven, recast Krotiq.

With East Tree trigger on the stack, pick up Species with Paleoloth, then put Species into play off the trigger, bounce Quirion ranger and Krotiq.

Repeat for infinite mana (if the dork taps for more than seven), infinite storm, and infinite (whatever my sacrifice outlet does).

What I need from you all: 1) Praise. 2) Help. What other things can help refine this combo? What could serve as replacements for parts of it, in case of enemy removal?

I'm also tagging ThinkJank, as the originator of the Jugan combo, hoping they can help me out here.
