Removed some of the cards that I originally thought would be fun but ended up not providing enough value to the deck, these include Scythe of the Wretched, Fresh Meat, and Swell of Courage. I replaced them with cards that would prove useful in all situations and would allow me to get more damage across, these include Furystoke Giant, Kyren Negotiations, Goblin Bombardment, and Goblin Sharpshooter.
Livingham,
Following up on your thread ...
I'll take a deeper look later, but I run a Rith deck over at Smashface Gardening w/ Rith (EDH Dragons) with a very heavy token and +1/+1 counter theme. You might want to check it out, and also the Full Maybeboard (Smashface Gardening w/ Rith)

Thanks man, the lands are really low but if you can mulligan into 2-3 lands then you can ramp out and be good for the rest of the game.

Hey nice deck, but may I ask why the Flooded Strand and not a Wooded Foothills?

GamingApostleIdeally, I would have all the fetches except polluted delta, but I'm only using what I have at the moment. I also need to pick up a sacred foundry as soon as possible but with all the ramp, I never have a problem with producing the right colors.

Sweet deck, +1!
Really the only things I can thing to add are maybe Bloodspore Thrinax and Forgotten Ancient
Another option for getting rid of Marath when needed: Return-to-hand effects. Not sure if that would work better than killing him (her? it?), but figured it was worth mentioning. I like Whitemane Lion, but there's a bunch of good options.
And for regaining control, I love Homeward Path.
Draw well!

Your deck looks good. +1 i would increase the land count and if you can get a Doubling Season that would help you alot.

Arthfael208 Thanks man I appreciate it, I do have a doubling season though and my land count is really low but it's never a problem as long as you mulligan into a couple lands and some ramp which is easily achievable.

Cant believe i miss doubling season i even looked for it. But it is my favorite card of my marath deck because it is just so useful.

How has Vexing Shusher worked for you? I was thinking of adding it. I have a problem with only having 4 ways to stop counters. As my play group loves counter and will usually play against 2 decks heavy in counters however when they dont play counters Vexing Shusher seems like it would not do anything.

Thanks for asking that, Arthfael208!
I have an increasing challenge with that in my Rith deck and am wondering the same thing. Spellbreaker Behemoth? Grand Abolisher? Dragonlord Dromoka? Vexing Shusher?
Win the lottery and pick up a Cavern of Souls? :-)
Thanks to you both for any thoughts!

I actually revised my deck recently and took the shusher out for more utility, I'll make the changes to my deck as soon as I get home later. It definitely helped at times and even won me a few games against my friend's arcanis deck just because it let me actually resolve my spells, but it's been a dead card in many situations and I would rather have a card in my deck that's always useful over a card that's occasionally better but usually just takes up space.

Any suggestions for good/fun cards would be appreciated, I'm always looking for new cards to try.
