Scorpion God is AMAZING!!! ...right?

Commander (EDH) forum

For a little context- the group I regularly play with was super cool and let me play partner commanders without partner- namely and . There's just oooooone teeny tiny little problem... My current -1/-1 counter deck kills creatures by the truckload... Just the other day I killed 40 creatures in one turn with minus one counters. Besides just not playing Scorpion God, is there any way I can maybe not mill myself to f**king hell? I really want to do this deck but if I can't work around that I honestly cannot :( . Any help is very much appreciated!!

As long as you don't have an effect that is taking away your maximum handsize, you can discard Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre or Kozilek, Butcher of Truth at the end of turns with the other cards you are discarding, and it'll work out fine. :D

Another option is to use something like Primal Command or something similar to get them back in. Or theres also the words cycle, like Words of Wilding you could use for additional value.

Your guys' suggestions are amazing! Maybe as another thing, instead of shuffling stuff back in there's a way to slow my draw? I know there's Obstinate Familiar, Maralen of the Mornsong, and Omen Machine, and those cards are great, but is there anything else? Because if not, I might just not play Scorp God in my deck.

I still would suggest the Words of Wilding, Words of War and Words of Waste because those get you a ton more value than any other stop you from drawing card.

Omen Machine, Maralen, and other cards which say players cant draw cards are good, but theyll take out a lot of the goodness of Scorpion God too.
