MTG Combo: Blood Artist + Falkenrath Noble

Akkrand on 4 Colour Tokens

Ok, I've pulled the trigger on

-Rage Thrower +Mycoloth

The Rage Thrower was in the deck initially because he'd been in my Marath, Will of the Wild, who didn't have access to Blood Artist + Falkenrath Noble . He doesn't have the lifegain portion of them, nor the each opponent effectiveness of Purphoros, God of the Forge + Zulaport Cutthroat .

I'll give the Mycoloth a run in his place, I just have to be careful about how many creatures I devour with him - I don't want him to ruin my board state an then eat a Doom Blade and have it all be for nothing.

I've been thinking more about Iroas, God of Victory, and he isn't really there for the protection whilst attacking, he's there for the indestructible Goblin War Drums. His other ability is just gravy, and useful for the nontoken creatures I have attacking.

I've added Garruk Wildspeaker to the maybeboard, as if I take Iroas, God of Victory out, it's going to be replaced with something to give my guys evasion - in Garruk's case, trample. I could also replace him with Nylea, God of the Hunt, but I like the utility Garruk comes with - ramp, beast tokens, and ultimate.

Another possible replacement would be Thunderfoot Baloth - he's expensive CMC, but provides a +2/+2 anthem and trample as long as I've got either of my commanders in play.

Regarding slivers; I don't mind them, but I wonder how many slivers I'd need to add to the deck for it to be worthwhile, and if it's worth diluting my other themes to have them combo with Mirror Entity?

Brood Sliver is the only one that really jumps out at me.

Regarding the mutations; I take your point. I could replace one with Aura Shards, much more flexible removal, and replace the other with a better token generator, or something like Necrogenesis, which does both. I'll give that some thought before FNM this week, assuming it's still on this week.
