Decided to clean up the clutter from the comments a little bit. Always looking for new suggestions, additions, deletions, and anything you guys feel could improve this deck even more. Thank you to everyone who helped so far and please keep commenting. I am trying to make this deck the best that it can be within a reasonable budget. I know that there is a lot of cards in the maybeboard, some that would fit the deck quite nicely, i'm just not sure what I could cut. If you guys see anything that could be replaced with something better, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you! The more I improve it the more I love it. It's the most fun deck I have to play, yet also probably one of the more competitive edh decks that I have as well, not tier 1 competitive play, but in my play group this deck seems to win quite often. I let my friend play it yesterday in a 1v1 against me and I used his derevi deck and felt as though I was on the defense the entire game until loosing to prossh combined with parallel lives and a blood artist on board. I love this deck!

I'm looking to make room for Mycoloth , Ogre Battledriver , and Falkenrath Noble . I have no clue what to cut. If you guys have any suggestions, please feel free to comment.

Idk maybe cut the -Vicious Shadows only because it's conditional on ppl having cards in their hands

Thank you for the suggestion. Vicious Shadows puts in work in my play group though. My opponents very often have many cards in their hands and it can be used as an alternate win con sometimes, maybe expensive CMC, but i think it's worth it in this deck.

UPDATE:Ogre Slumlord ===> Falkenrath Noble (this is more a preference decision, Ogre Slumlord does get me more tokens and with deathtouch, however Falkenrath Noble as another Blood Artist effect is not bad at all and I felt was the better choice for the deck)

Staff of Nin ====> Mycoloth (The extra card per turn is really what staff of nin was in here for. Yeah staff is a great card, I run it in all of my EDH decks however for 6 mana in this deck i feel like i can play a better card instead. I haven't been able to use Mycoloth , but i know it wil fit this deck perfectly.)

Good move I don't evan have a Staff of Nin it cost to much in my opinion

I was able to pick up a Phyrexian Altar , a Sarkhan Vol , an Exploration , a Creakwood Liege and a gold bordered Gaea's Cradle at a tournament yesterday! I know the cradle is not tournament leagal but we normally play friendly casual games and my playgroup is allowing me to play with it! :) What do I cut for the new additions?

NicolBrolas says... #10

Was thinking to cut the Gruul Turf for the Gaea's Cradle , Bear Umbra for Phyrexian Altar , and Grave Betrayal for either Sarkhan Vol or Creakwood Liege

No mogg war marshal? He is 3 dudes for two mana that you can sac to prossh.

And no phyrexian reclamation? You can replace animate dead for it cause animate dead only works on one creature,while for only two life, which with the whip out you can earn that life back,it is repeatable.

I'm not really a fan of the war Marshall. Maybe someday he will find a spot in the deck, but I've played with him before and just feel that there is better cards to fill the spot. Don't get me wrong it's a great card just by preference I would prefer some cards over him. Phyrexian reclamation is a maybe too for now. I've considered it before but I don't think I would drop animate dead for it. Maybe something else though. It is a good card and fits this deck quite well. Thank you for the suggestions.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed ==> Creakwood Liege : Mikaeus is a great card, just haven't been impressed with his performance lately though. With the majority of my creatures dying being tokens, I feel I could replace him with a better card. The liege not only creates tokens but boosts other tokens such as those from Avenger of Zendikar and Ophiomancer

Hull Breach ==> Krosan Grip : Although the two artifacts or two enchantments or one of each is nice, the split second on Krosan grip is worth it for the sacrifice and one additional mana in my opinion.

Mind Slash ==> Victimize Victimize is too good not to run in this deck and while mind slash is pretty much a reoccurring Thoughtseize (w/o 2 life) it also hasn't been able to "wow!" me yet in the deck. For now it's a maybe

I went a more token-aggro-oriented route with my deck. I should probably run Purphoros, God of the Forge like you do, but maybe you could use it for inspiration? :)

Thank you [spisepinden] for looking at the deck. I took a look at yours as well and I like the heavy amounts of tokens your deck can produce. I like Craterhoof Behemoth , Ogre Battledriver , and Champion of Lambholt a lot. Defiantly going to have to look to make some cuts in my deck to add these three cards.

I don't know how much it might help, but I have my own Prossh deck as well, and if you like, you can take a look at it. I've already gotten a few ideas from yours, so I feel like I should return the favor.

I'd like to add Beastmaster Ascension , Ogre Battledriver , and Craterhoof Behemoth . Was thinking to possibly cut Mitotic Slime , possiblyDiabolic Tutor , and not sure what else. Please help.

take a look at how I built mine version and take the best of what can work for your metagame. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/prossh-skyraider-of-kherjund/

I definitely suggest you consider Food chain

Update: -1 Mitotic Slime ; +1Ogre Battledriver . Mitotic slime is a good card on this deck just playing around with some cards and need to make a cut for the battledriver. It may make it back in some day but for now the battledriver gets the spot.

Rune-Scarred Demon and Ophiomancer could probably be cut for something else. If you need card draw I suggest Minions' Murmurs .

NicolBrolas says... #23

I think I'm going to keep the Ophiomancer , the deathtouchers actually keep quite a bit of heat from coming my way. Even if an oppenent's creatures have trample often times they don't want to loose them to the deathtouch. Perhaps it can be cut eventually though. As for Rune-Scarred Demon , I really like the tutor and flying body, but could see myself swaping it for something more suitable to the deck. I think I'll trade the demon for Beastmaster Ascension as I feel it definatly needs to be in the deck.Minions' Murmurs may also end up making in the deck as well though. I do need more card draw, I dont like the loose life part, but feel it's a fair trade off. Often times i have a lot of creatures and could potentially refill my hand for 4 mana. Thanks for the suggestion.

Im not sure if id rather play Skullmulcher or Minions' Murmurs . What do you guys think?
