If you want to be able to cast an 8 drop, you probably want over 30 lands iirc? 16 lands is actually less than people run in Burn decks, and Burn decks in Legacy are built around casting Lightning Bolt variants over and over (most of the time), your deck has lots of 4 and 5 drops, (which would require a land count of ~24-26), and it has those 2 8 drops. For example, at 16 lands you can 'expect' to see ~4 lands after drawing 15 cards (which is when you'd generally cast an 8 drop), if you have 32 lands in 60 cards you'll see ~8. You can also run some ramp, but I wouldn't run less than 22 lands with that many 4 and 5 drops.

An alternative to just running lands is ramp, and ramp can also serve as mana fixing (Green ramp sources can often produce other colours of mana as desired), your deck uses 3 colours of mana technically, you probably want something like Undercellar Myconid and Utopia Mycon.

Not sure it's better than Fungal Plots, but Night Soil can remove creatures from your opponent's graveyard or yours, but both have to come from the same one.

If you have some extra budget space there are options like Tendershoot Dryad or Blossoming Bogbeast, Bogbeast is a much better buff while Tendershoot offers tokens and a worse buff, not sure which is really better here. Bogbeast will synergize with any additional life gain, so you could throw a Primal Command to play before your Bogbeast swings/tutor for a creature/remove a permanent/deal with a graveyard, it's a really, really versatile card.

It looks like you're at 62 cards, most Legacy decks are pretty strict about 60 cards, it's a pretty cutthroat format (some people categorize decks that use Legacy cards as Casual, more decks can 'compete' at a Casual table) and you need to draw key cards.

Final point, you probably want more 1 drops, if it's not too much of a hassle you run 1 mana dorks like Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic or Fyndhorn Elves, any of these can speed your deck up a bit while offering you a card to play turn 1. Legacy isn't really the best place to have unspent mana!

Setakat on Updating old Fungus deck (Casual)

Looking for some help/advice with updating my old Fungus deck to use in some casual 60 card wind down games on Commander Nights at my LGS. Old Fungus Deck.

Current ideas

There's a lot of good creatures in this space to fill a tribe, easily enough to easily fill the 36 available slots, and then some. But I also need to keep in mind that I'll probably want some instant speed removal/protection, so there's plenty to add, which first requires me to remove plenty.

Planned wincons are either overrun with Saproling tokens, swinging with a Mycoloth enchanted with Fists of Ironwood, or pinging my opponents to death with Slimefoot via mass saproling sac.

squee_goblin_nabob - After I posted my comment I thought to myself, that as long as you have Gilder Bairn out with able to generate mana via tapping and Zirda, the Dawnwaker to lower the activation cost, it does open up your play book with with Vitaspore Thallid/Utopia Mycon to generate unlimited Saproling creatures/mana or unlimited damage with Walking Ballista. Still a lot of moving parts but actually a pretty cool idea with several ways to generate a wincon.

I personally hate control decks so I spend most my time trying to figure out how to beat them and not how to build them but I definitely think going that direction will be beneficial. Counterspell, Vapor Snag, Archmage's Charm, Spell Pierce...I despise them all but give them a nod for being effective.

yes you got the jist if it, however right now I am trying it without the Training Grounds. instead I am using the companion ability of Zirda, the Dawnwaker, a grantee that I have it when I need it opened more spots, the other creatures in the deck can combo as well, Vitaspore Thallid is another potental win con and Utopia Mycon can be infinite mana like Pentad Prism for walking ballista (mot necessary since I can use the combo on it as well I know) or to fuel Logic Knot also worth noting that Tolaria West cat grab the ballista or the paradise mantle.

As for making it a control deck, I honestly just suck at building control decks, I can play them but I suck and the construction side, I am totally open to recommendations though.

Oh man, I played Fun with Fungus back during Timespiral and I loved that deck so much. It requires a lot of build-up to really get rolling so it's not very competitive and no fun against control decks, but then again what is? When it works right and you are putting tokens down everywhere though? Hooooo boy that's fun. Here are some of the things I ran back in the day:

I have some specific thoughts on your build too:

  • Consider what you want this deck to do really well. Are you trying to generate as many saprolings as possible to overwhelm your opponent? Or to sacrifice them to the Priest/Zulaport/Slimefoot? You could even make the fungi the real beaters themselves. It seems like your deck is doing a little bit of everything right now when it could benefit from focusing on one or two.
  • If you want to focus on making many saprolings, Mycoloth is extremely powerful in this deck. Just because he's a big target for removal doesn't mean you shouldn't play him at all. He costs the same as your Tendershoot Dryad and generates twice the number of Saprolings per turn for only sacrificing one when he enters the battlefield. Sacrifice two and he's giving you back four every turn. And with Heroic Intervention to protect him you should be good to go. Definitely a mainboard card. I lost my mind when this card released.
  • If you're looking to pump up your saprolings more Sporecrown Thallid is a great pick and may I also suggest Thelonite Hermit.
  • If you want your fungi to be real threats then Thelon of Havenwood is your guy. Get some Sporesowers out and then watch the Spore counters pile up, making your guys absolutely massive.
  • Consider switching out some of your cheap-cmc cards for things with more meat on their bones. This deck could stand to be a lot more top-heavy. A couple shell-dwellers can get you to the late-game but they are terrible late-game cards. I personally ran a set of Deathspore Thallids because I like their removal effect but none of these other fungi with 1 or 2 mana cost.
  • Consider some traditional mana ramp like Rampant Growth instead of Utopia Mycon if you want to get your Sporesowers out earlier. It's less vulnerable to removal and you don't have to wait to generate your first saproling to get an extra mana.
  • I love Priest of the forgotten gods and Winding Constrictor in here. I think they are both super effective for this deck.
  • And lastly it should be spelled "galore" ;p

Best of luck and have fun with your fungus!

Rose917 Hey, glad you're liking Faerie Rogues! I made a somewhat wacky GR Sporemound combo deck a while back—$15 Sporemound Combo. I could update it for you if you want. Otherwise, I came up with this deck just now: Budget Spores. I leaned into the sacrifice theme a little bit with Bone Picker and Utopia Mycon, but it may be better to just build it like a GB Midrange/Ramp deck since Mycoloth is so strong. What do you think?

So if you want this to be fungus based maybe use Thelon of Havenwood or maybe lean into the saporling part a little harder. Some cards to look at for saporling: Fungal Plots Verdant Force Tendershoot Dryad Sprout Swarm Jade Mage. For fungus: Sporesower Thallid Fungal Bloom Savage Thallid Smell Fear. Either or just good cards: Sylvan Anthem Necrogenesis Utopia Mycon Moldervine Reclamation all of these are under $10 and more or less fit theme. Of course feel free to do whatever you want.

StopShot I'm going to experiement with Utopia Mycon as it's cheaper and bringing in green opens up coco+eldamris call.

You don't end up dealing infinite damage but you do gain infinite life, infinite blockers and infinite mana on command. Also its much cheaper cost so paying 2 for eldamris call before playing another 1 for the fungus means you can get this off reliably? ish?
