Durkle: I really like the idea of Heliod's Pilgrim , i've been hesitant to add a 3 cmc option as this deck wants to win quite early, but Pilgrim provides very good flexibility late game, and I definitely see adding it over the yoked oxes. Village Bell-Ringer while good, isn't as great is this deck with all the vigilance running around. I agree Whiteout is amazing with tireless tribe, but I worry will be a dead card in too many games. Still, with the Commune with the Gods I could see adding a copy in the main deck or perhaps a few in the sideboard when I need a faster game plan.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I most certainly will be giving the deck a look over.

Since you're playing Tireless Tribe , a couple copies of Whiteout plus snow basics seems like a shoe-in. Whiteout can let you just win the game out of nowhere, including on turn 2. Plus, it has some random utility in letting you block fliers with your ground guys in a pinch.

Honestly, I'm personally not a big fan of the oxen. Vanilla creatures with no additional upside get eaten alive in Pauper. Sure, they've got really big butts and will hit hard if all is going well, but if all is not going well, they're effectively doing nothing. Whereas, Trailblazer always has the threat to grow upon being targeted, and Tribe threatens to just win the game out of nowhere. I think those oxen slots would be much better served as something with added utility, even if they have smaller bodies. Heliod's Pilgrim comes to mind right off the bat. Plus, it'd allow you to have a small package of things to find in a pinch, such as a maindeck copy of Temporal Isolation , Cho-Manno's Blessing , or like a Mortal Obstinacy from the sideboard. Beyond that, Village Bell-Ringer seems like a decent option too, since it both can be flashed in unexpectedly and can allow your other creatures to block.

But that's all just my opinion. Carry on, my big butt friend.

Oh man, I don't even know what to say. I've got a Gitrog in the works, but besides a Crucible of Worlds, I can't even go near this budget with ideas.

Apocalypse Demon is a great 1v1 response to flyers for me. Silklash Spider is a good mass removal, especially with so much mana accessible. If you have some snow covered land laying around, maybe Whiteout? My budget solution for at least slowing down the flyers in my meta is Watcher in the Web with deathtouch attached.

What I am doing that works though, the nastiest control aspect in my deck, is Tainted AEther. I love this in Gitrog for controlling things once I'm set up, or close to set up.

Right, before 8th edition and all that. I was a bit confused with Whiteout since I thought its latest printing was from 2011 (going by the card art) but I'm a fool and didn't recognize the symbol as a MTGO release, so my bad.

But, I'm glad at least one card I suggested could help!

Both Wind Shear and Whiteout are illegal in Modern, haha.

I own Bow of Nylea, and it's nice, but I didn't get much use of it while I was testing it on this deck.

And finally... Second Harvest is a card I did not know existed and wow I do need to get my hands on a couple of those!! Thanks for showing that to me!! I did extensive research on token creators when I built this back in 2015, but some times the new cards slip right past us.

@ellie-is

All very good points. I always forget how quick the modern format is supposed to be, and how stupid a lot of blue cards are.

I'm not a big fan of Growing Ranks myself because it is so slow, but it's there. Doubling Season is just way too expensive, and since you're not using +1/+1 counters at all, you're right that it's not worth it.

As for Bower Passage, now that I know you're wanting better defense against flying, might I suggest Wind Shear? Since most flyers that early in the game should all be 3/3 or 4/4, that could be enough to let your Saprolings kill them off. Or if you can get some Snow-Covered Forest, Whiteout could work too, and one mana cheaper.

Bow of Nylea can be nice, making your tokens that much more ferocious, plus you can activate it to damage flyers.

Lastly, a card I completely forgot to bring up in my last post is Second Harvest. For four mana it doubles your tokens, so maybe it can help?
