mMooLord, the color identity of Thelon of Havenwood is {B}{G} though?

This deck is looking pretty good. I noticed though you don't have a lot of artifact and enchantment hate. Cards you may want to consider include, but are not limited to, Broken Bond, Casualties of War, Caustic Caterpillar, Gleeful Sabotage and Storm the Citadel. Thelon of Havenwood would be a boon for your deck with all the fungus with spore counters on them. As for lands Karn's Bastion would increase your spore counters and Grim Backwoods allows for a reusable sacrifice engine. I hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

How 'bout Thelon of Havenwood?

Oh man, I played Fun with Fungus back during Timespiral and I loved that deck so much. It requires a lot of build-up to really get rolling so it's not very competitive and no fun against control decks, but then again what is? When it works right and you are putting tokens down everywhere though? Hooooo boy that's fun. Here are some of the things I ran back in the day:

• Sporoloth Ancient when combined with Sporesower Thallid makes each other Fungus pop off a Saproling each turn.
• If you're looking for a cheeky removal combo Vhati il-Dal + Deathspore Thallid is fun.
• Tragic Slip is a fun alternative to Bone Shards that can deal with indestructible creatures up to 13/13. But Eaten Alive is just better.
• Life and Limb and Psychotrope Thallid are great late game cards if you want insane mana and card draw.
• Verdant Embrace is also worth considering.

I have some specific thoughts on your build too:

• Consider what you want this deck to do really well. Are you trying to generate as many saprolings as possible to overwhelm your opponent? Or to sacrifice them to the Priest/Zulaport/Slimefoot? You could even make the fungi the real beaters themselves. It seems like your deck is doing a little bit of everything right now when it could benefit from focusing on one or two.
• If you want to focus on making many saprolings, Mycoloth is extremely powerful in this deck. Just because he's a big target for removal doesn't mean you shouldn't play him at all. He costs the same as your Tendershoot Dryad and generates twice the number of Saprolings per turn for only sacrificing one when he enters the battlefield. Sacrifice two and he's giving you back four every turn. And with Heroic Intervention to protect him you should be good to go. Definitely a mainboard card. I lost my mind when this card released.
• If you're looking to pump up your saprolings more Sporecrown Thallid is a great pick and may I also suggest Thelonite Hermit.
• If you want your fungi to be real threats then Thelon of Havenwood is your guy. Get some Sporesowers out and then watch the Spore counters pile up, making your guys absolutely massive.
• Consider switching out some of your cheap-cmc cards for things with more meat on their bones. This deck could stand to be a lot more top-heavy. A couple shell-dwellers can get you to the late-game but they are terrible late-game cards. I personally ran a set of Deathspore Thallids because I like their removal effect but none of these other fungi with 1 or 2 mana cost.
• Consider some traditional mana ramp like Rampant Growth instead of Utopia Mycon if you want to get your Sporesowers out earlier. It's less vulnerable to removal and you don't have to wait to generate your first saproling to get an extra mana.
• I love Priest of the forgotten gods and Winding Constrictor in here. I think they are both super effective for this deck.
• And lastly it should be spelled "galore" ;p

Best of luck and have fun with your fungus!

An obvious route could be to make a cloning deck with Riku of Two Reflections that normally makes you play somewhat equally in powerlevel.

Otherwise I would go for a niche strategy or a tribal deck - maybe Ayula, Queen Among Bears, Brion Stoutarm or Thelon of Havenwood.

It is some powerful commanders they are playing but it is still hard knowing how powerful their actual deck is without seeing a decklist, so maybe I am undershooting. But you might also be better at deckbuilding which is an factor to remember.

So if you want this to be fungus based maybe use Thelon of Havenwood or maybe lean into the saporling part a little harder. Some cards to look at for saporling: Fungal Plots Verdant Force Tendershoot Dryad Sprout Swarm Jade Mage. For fungus: Sporesower Thallid Fungal Bloom Savage Thallid Smell Fear. Either or just good cards: Sylvan Anthem Necrogenesis Utopia Mycon Moldervine Reclamation all of these are under $10 and more or less fit theme. Of course feel free to do whatever you want.

Some thoughts:

• Both Thelon of Havenwood and Slimefoot, the Stowaway seem great here.

• 17 lands is super, super low. I think you should be aiming for 22.

• Sundering Vitae and Gaea's Blessing are far too situational and what deck sideboards are for. I would suggest removing them from your deck.

• I don’t think either Scatter the Seeds or Second Harvest are worth it. They both cost a ton of mana, and are terrible if you’re behind. They feel like super-clunky “win more” cards, so i’m not sure they’re particularly useful.

• You need a way to deal with opponents creatures.

If you're going the spore counter route, you should definitely consider Sporesower Thallid and Thelon of Havenwood to make it more viable (but even then it's pretty weak compared to other saproling strategies). If you decide not to go the spore counter route, Tukatongue Thallid is a great one-drop to consider in place of Thallid. I'd also be really wary of Life and Limb even in casual games, as losing all your lands to something as unimpressive as Electrickery is really, really unfun.
