Control now —Aug. 10, 2015
The deck used to be midrange, surviving with a few token in the early game so that people wouldn't attack me and attack other players, and later I would put a few fatties and prossh and then after my opponent's resources had been wasted with another player, I would start dominating the game.
That worked for a while, but then my friends caught up with the idea of the deck and started striking me regardless of my tokens, and my deck couldn't cope with everybody trying to kill me in the early game.
So, I changed from midrange to control.
I took out most of the fatties, since they used just to sit there doing nothing (because my playstyle isn't to attack everybody whenever I can).
Added a few board wipes (Chandra's Ignition, Chain Reaction and Crux of Fate).
Added cards that constantly draws me cards, instead of the usual "draw 8 in one turn, then never draw more cards again" (Deathreap Ritual and Skullclamp).
Added a few protection cards for prossh, since he is the centre of the deck. (Temur Sabertooth and Gaea's Embrace).
Added more removal to deal with aggro decks (Silence the Believers and Vraska the Unseen).
But I maintained great deal of the deck and the great combos that prossh allows me to do.
phartung55 Yes! Unfortunately Parallel Lives is a bit expensive, and I'm not ready to spend that much money on that (I know it's only 3 dollars, but in my country mtg is awfully expensive). But if I ever get one, it will definitely be on this deck. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway!

How about Hellrider and Ogre Battledriver ? They aren't too expensive I think. Check my Prossh deck if you want: Are you hungry, Prossh? Eat them all! Prossh EDH Best regards from Poland :)

BoRsuk I already have Ogre Battledriver haha. When I first saw Hellrider , I didn't think it would be great for this deck because I usually don't attack with many creatures since most of them are there to be sacrificed. Only now I realised that I can attack with my tokens and sacrifice them later haha, thanks!

You also should think about Vivid lands in your deck. They're good mana fixing I think.Vivid Crag , Vivid Marsh , Vivid Grove .

IsaacSwan14 Because it costs 18 dollars, it's a third of what the whole deck costs.

BoRsuk When I checked your deck I saw Lumberknot and thought it might be a good idea, I'll think about it. When I was making the deck I thought about vivid lands, but I decided against them and I hardly ever have problems with my mana, so I don't think it's really necessary.

But you know, it's something to keep in mind, if I start to get mana screwed on a regular basis, they are the first thing I'll do to try to fix it.

-What I really like about Prossh edh is playing cards that outright win you the game. Prossh is nuts, provides so much to the game on his lonesome, and has so many ways to be completely overpowered.
-Some examples of win conditions I play in mine:Xenagos, God of Revels wins the turn you play Prossh. cast prossh, sac tokens making him 11/5, go to combat, trigger on Xenagos gives Prossh +11/+11 making him a 22/16 swing in for lethal commander damage. Gratuitous Violence basically does the same thing doubling his 11 damage after kobold sacs to 22 lethal.Sangrite Surge again basically provides the same function.
-Some powerful draw (I'd swap Read the Bones type cards for these):Collective Unconscious is usually drawing you a ton in Prossh decks.Disciple of Bolas is also fantastic in the deck.You got the Skullmulcher already good pic :D
-Now let me blow your mind: Insurrection : This is a MUST (and a super cheap one at that) for ANY Prossh deck!!! steal the board > swing at everyone > sac all their creatures before end of turn. very nasty move!
I'll have to look at my deck later for some more suggestions but I thought I'd toss out what I could think of off the top of my head.
Hope you enjoy the suggestions :)

OlympusMons Xenagos is really amazing, unfortunately it is a bit expensive :/. Same goes for Gratuitous Violence .
I've considered Sangrite Surge before, but I just can't remove anything haha.
I like Read the Bones because it gives me card advantage in the beginning, and this is quite important in my against my friends' decks. Collective Unconscious is still great though, I'll see if I can swap it for something else.
I can see the potential of Disciple of Bolas , but I think there are just better things to be put in its place.
I use Insurrection in my Jhoira's deck, I just can't believe I never noticed how completely op it is in my Prossh one haha.
Thank you for your suggestions!

No problem dood! Sorry I actually didnt realize Gratuitous Violence is a 5 dollar card now! Havent checked that price since I was playin Onslaught!
And ya they are just suggestions you def dont have to use any of them :P I can kinda agree with the Read the Bones comment cause it is really great to have some draw early game. I personally play tutors for early game and big card draw for mid to late :) But I can see your play style is different than mine: you like to feel comfortable early game with some draw and small token generators. I personally wouldnt run Dragon Fodder or Krenko's Command but I believe that to be somewhat of a preference call.
Also I forgot to mention how amazing Hunter's Prowess is in prossh. good lord so good. And about the Disciple of Bolas , tell me how drawing 11 cards and gaining 11 off of a single cast of prossh is bad? :P SO GOOD! hehe ;)
Last thing, just a reminder that Sangrite Surge wins the game if they dont have a flyer to block or a kill spell for prossh. I'd really really recommend trying it out in place of one of these: Jund Battlemage i feel is pretty underwhelming. Mogg War Marshal is essentially a 2 mana 'Prossh gets +3/+0 until end of turn' but it's kinda in the same realm as the Dragon Fodder / Krenko's Command so i can see keeping it in. Molten Birth is really clunky to me but again the same thing there; early tokens can feel comfortable. And again PERSONALLY, I dont really like Doom Blade or Dark Banishing cuz I hate hate hate restrictive kill spells. but again, please dont take any of this as I'm tellin you what to do ;)
Good luck with your games man! :D

OlympusMons About Disciple of Bolas , but is it worth sacrifing your prossh? It's true that Jund Battlemage hasn't done much, I might swap it. And wow, hunter's prowess is pretty amazing haha.

I love getting multiple casts out of Prossh, so as long as he's not already costing like 10+ then I dont mind getting a good sac or two out of him :) Even then, I run a decent amount of ramp and have never gotten to a point where I just can't cast him anymore.

Is that an All Flesh Must Be Eaten reference in the deck title? +1 also Purphoros, God of the Forge is boss in this type of deck.
June 14, 2014 4:46 p.m.
canterlotguardian Not really haha. Yes! Purphoros is perfect here, if only I could get one haha.

I see you have Mycoloth in your maybeboard. I use it in my Prossh deck and it is awesome.
This is my deck if you want to check it out:

themindbullet Yes, he seems incredible, but he is a bit expensive, unfortunately.

I run Fungal Sprouting in my Prossh EDH. It wins me so many games.
June 30, 2014 8:48 p.m.
nijomemo Well, me too haha, and indeed it does, it's a very good card for Prossh.

Not sure if you can find the room, but Deathbringer Thoctar + Mephidross Vampire combo nicely. Plus the vampire will add that ability to all your creatures. But this combo is one of many possible with this kind of deck...

Parallel Lives can give you more tokens than ever before, allowing a ton of sacrificial. Fodder and potential for an army
