Blisterpod

Creature — Eldrazi Drone

Devoid (This card has no color.)

When Blisterpod dies, create a 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature token. It has "Sacrifice this creature: Add ."

I agree that no turn 1 play slows the deck by a LOT, I've tried putting a few copies of Blisterpod into the deck, replacing Eldrazi Repurposer. It definitely wasn't a bad choise, I prefered keeping the Repurposer instead as I get more Fleshraker triggers and it's a more useful blocker/attacker. The deck relies a lot on Kozilek's Return and Ugin's Binding to catch up, Kozilek's return as a boardwipe for creatures, and the Binding for creatures but also enchantments and artefacts. They allow the deck to reset the state and catch up faster since we make a ton of Eldrazi Spawn.

I'll keep looking see if there are some cards I can remove to add some turn 1 play. (I find myself rarely casting Kozilek's Command, maybe I can start there)

Balaam__ Blisterpod maybe?

I haven't played Modern in a long time but maybe some Eldrazi spawns/scions effects for more Glaring Fleshraker triggers?

Oh snap, well then, actually, I just looked and almost nothing is modern legal. My only Idea would be Blisterpod turn one into Infernal Plunge turn two, which then gives you 5 mana turn 2, but then you'd have to sacrifice a lot of deckspace for a specific combo

Elves of Deep Shadow is better than leaden myr

Unnatural Growth is super win more and a 5 drop, plus it has 4 green pips in a deck with a budget manabase of 12 forests and 8 swamps. I'd cut all 4, and if you really want 1 then at least cut 3.

Fatal Push staple removal spell that also synergizes well with all your revolt triggers. Maybe too expensive though.

Giant Growth and Might of the Masses are again win more; this isn't an infect deck. I'd replace with more enablers (i.e. creatures you can sacrifice or token generators) like Blisterpod, Tend the Pests, etc. I assume Bitterblossom is out of your budget unfortunately.

I think Hand of Emrakul, Decimator of the Provinces, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, and Pathrazer of Ulamog are too expensive to cast / commander ability for what they do. Some replacement examples would be: Terastodon, Void Winnower, Fleshbag Marauder, Noxious Gearhulk, Ravenous Chupacabra, Plaguecrafter, Eternal Witness, It That Betrays, Woodfall Primus, Acidic Slime, Ob Nixilis, Unshackled, Sepulchral Primordial, Overseer of the Damned, etc.

cards like Dalek Squadron with a sac outlet will get you a lot of Meren counters quickly. cards like Greater Good are great at filling your graveyard and your hand. cards like Oversold Cemetery are great for your low mana creatures and late game expensive creatures. Tragic Slip isn't a very good card for multiplayer commander, unless you are using something like Isochron Scepter

I think your deck is a little heavy on creature token generators, especially your creatures. I know they are there to build up tokens on Meren and to generate mana, in the early game, but they aren't doing much in the mid to late game. Maybe replace a few with some faster reanimator spells like: Living Death, Lifeline (a personal favorite), Necromancy, Animate Dead, Victimize, Rescue from the Underworld, Beacon of Unrest, etc.

Other cards I would consider cutting: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave (too slow imo unless he is your commander), Blisterpod (needs to die to get the token), Pawn of Ulamog, Vorapede, Village Rites, Gray Merchant of Asphodel (starts to shine with lots of reanimator stuff), Woe Strider, Scion Summoner, Brood Monitor, Deathreap Ritual, Commander's Sphere

It's tough to suggest cards for a budget deck. A card that I might consider to be absolutely necessary could require cheaper options in other parts of the deck to make it fit.

Thanks viewtifulstyle!

I think you're right, it does feel a little slow. I thought the card early card draw from Salvage Drone would speed up the deck by helping me draw into my combo pieces, but maybe focusing on ramping up to play what I already have in my hand is the better choice. I don't know if I have any room for more interaction, but I can try swapping out salvage drone for Blisterpod to see if it's better.

Thanks wallisface! Adding the 0 fixed it, I don't know why I didn't think of that haha

I always appreciate advice, so this is very much appreciated!

You're totally right about everything you said there. I've tried playing this deck in it's current state a few times and it just does not play consistently. At some point I'm going to try and remake this deck, this time starting with 1 CMC creatures like Salvage Drone or Blisterpod and going up to 7 or 8 CMC for Bane of Bala Ged and maybe Elder Deep-Fiend. I'll also ditch the late game cards for some earlier game interaction and try to make it not so dependent on Pyre of Heroes.

Thanks again for the advice, I'll use it to try and make this an actually viable deck!
