Realm Seekers in Mimeoplasm deck
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on June 26, 2018, 7:57 p.m. by arcorak
Hello there !
I was wondering why there were no Realm Seekers in The Mimeoplasm EDH decks ?
I mean, coupled with any other creature and a Whispersilk Cloak, it gets easily huge and resilient. Then it's still a not too bad ramp... So, am I missing a point, here ?
Thanks for the help !
The thing with Realm Seekers is that A) it's variable size and B) There are already so many other beaters out there that it's not worth a slot. And with Whispersilk Cloak, a Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon + Death's Shadow does so much more work.

It is just so . . .mehh. First, it is a power of 0 in the yard. That is really the only reason you need. No evasion. Doesn't ramp. Inefficient cost on activated ability. Doesn't do anything when it comes in.
I could see it as a way to make a bunch of counters in a CountersMatter deck, which could see The Mimeoplasm in the 99. I really enjoy it in Draft.

For one mana less, you get Lord of Extinction and Consuming Aberration, both which will be bigger than the Seekers. Second, The 'Plasm will see that it's a 0/0, so no counters. Were it a /, on the other hand...it'd have a chance, but not much of one.

A 6 drop that doesn’t effect the board immediately is never good in EDH
Okay Consecrated Sphinx is good but generally true statement above

Ok, thank you so much for the replies !
But when you say that it's a 0/0 in the graveyard, how does it matter, exactly ? I mean, if I copy the card (not just for the F/T), the Mimeoplasm enters the battlefield with the counters since I copy the Realm Seekers, do we agree ? ^^ I understand that if wasn't a 0/0 in the yard, it would be so much better since we could copy an evasion creature with the force of the Realm Seekers... But is it """just""" because of that ?
Don't get me wrong, I understand too that it's not THE BiS card in Mimeoplasm Decks, but I try to build with what I have xD And I was surprised not to see it played/mentioned in low cost decks as a big beater ^^ (I mean, if you play in v4 and everybody has 5 cards, it's still a 20/20)
And btw, just to be sure : cards like Lord of Extinction keep their F/T values even in graveyards ?
Thanks again for your help, guys !

I don't play mimeoplasm, but I say just try it out. There's plenty of players just building what edhrec tells them to. Do you. I quite like that ability to search for ANY land.

arcorak: Yes, Lord of Extinction's P/T will be equal to the total number of cards in all graveyards even when it's in the graveyard. It's the difference between */* and a 0/0 creature with an ability which makes it bigger/entering with counters.
Just as a reminder, while Realm Seekers can fetch any land, it's not actually ramp (I want to clear that up from your original statement). It ensures an influx of lands to hand to consistently hit land drops, however it does not actually accelerate the deck. just worth keeping in mind.

Mimeoplasm is made to only care about the graveyards and realm seekers is mainly for a card draw deck. Whispersilk cloak is ok but if you don't really have a big commander it doesn't do you that big of a favor.
