Just did a game with this deck on Tabletop with some friends and steamrolled!

Was able to get Parallel Lives out early and utilized the flip-side of Wedding Announcement  ^Flip late game to make things MASSIVE and survived three board-wipes. It also made piles of treasure tokens. Well made deck, my dude. Lots of fun to play!

Neotrup on Slime Against Humanity and token …

Slime Against Humanity puts counters on the token it creates. Since Parallel Lives modifies the event of creating a token, Slime Against Humanity produces 2 tokens, both of which it sees for putting counters on. Chainer's Torment has a similar case spelled out in the Gatherer rulings:

(4/27/2018) If an effect such as that of Anointed Procession causes the final chapter ability of Chainer's Torment to create two Nightmare Horror tokens, each will deal X damage to you.

Quickspell on Slime Against Humanity and token …

Do token doubler like Parallel Lives cause Slime Against Humanity to create two tokens with +1/+1 counter? I have read any heard conflicting opinions, but no rule based judge-level answer. My impression is that the the 0/0 token will be doubled but only one will receive counters. It seems this is wrong and the two tokens will in fact both her get counters, but why? Are the counters a property of the rollen token, or a property of the spell?

Parallel Lives could also go into this deck as a way to keep making more tokens. Still not infinite, since you eventually run out of lands, but it gives you a wincon.

Czarnian90 on Arachnophobia, Webs of Fear (Shelob)

Hey,

You're right — the deck is still a bit raw and definitely needs some improvements in card draw and mana ramp. Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I actually had some of these cards on my acquireboard already. I’ve now added Moldervine Reclamation and Sol Ring, and took out Serrated Scorpion and Chainweb Aracnir.

I also swapped Gloomwidow for Hoarding Recluse.

I’m waiting to see if Curse of Clinging Webs and Swarmyard become available in my local shop — if they do, I’ll definitely include them :)

Also, I'm still considering a few more cards for the deck, like Back for More, Archdruid's Charm, Obscuring Haze, Fog, Deathsprout, Tear Asunder, Terrifying Presence, You Look Upon the Tarrasque, Revitalizing Repast  ^Flip, Heroic Intervention, Vraska, the Silencer, Graveshifter, Juvenile Gloomwidow, Greta, Sweettooth Scourge, Broodspinner, Graverobber Spider, Nyx Weaver, Spinner of Souls, Worldly TutorGC, Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Triumph of the Hordes, Rotwidow Pack, Sporeweb Weaver, Realmwalker, and a few others...

Hello! Saw the thread and wanted to jump in

Can add a few more one drops to get Slimefoot out turn 2. Elves of Deep Shadow, Delighted Halfling, Deathrite Shaman, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, etc

If money isn't an issue, Doubling Season to get redundancy with the slimefoot + Parallel Lives + Ashnod's Altar combo. Demonic TutorGC to help find it

What are some other wincons?
- Craterhoof Behemoth
- Peregrin Took + Experimental Confectioner
- Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Pitiless Plunderer
- Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Warren Soultrader + Blood Artist
- Hazel's Brewmaster + Devoted Druid

There are a lot of other 3-4 card combos in these colors, but these will help get your gears going when building.

Have fun! Please take a minute and upvote a few of my decks!

I have replaced Parallel Lives and Thought Vessel with Bloom Tender and Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.60 to 3.58, since I believe that the creatures are a better match for this deck, and two cards that increase the number of tokens that this deck generates are more than sufficient, for its purposes.
