Xira Arien is close to "won't do" design too. WoTC originally wanted to be very careful about stamping card draw & (+) board presence payoff upon destroying something, with selective destruction being its' own major advantage.

Jeepers, good thing the payoff is slow (probably wouldn't see this card if it wasn't). Think about Deathsprout with Xira: kill threat, draw/replace, ramp, & a 1/1 flyer for you.

Phule451 on Mimeoplasm Ooze

Path of Ancestry can give you fixing along with card selection. Miming Slime gives you yet another fatty to push through with, and Overwhelming Encounter will help your oozes slime your opponents. Mystic Genesis could help to stop an opponent’s threats while also giving you an ooze and Deathsprout is great removal plus ramp in one card. I find with my ooze tribal deck the key is protecting your board and also getting your giant oozes through. Hope that help. It’s slime time!

Phule451 on Ulf ulf, the duel

I find my Sarulf runs much better with as few permanents as possible. You can use mutate creatures, such as Gemrazer and Sawtusk Demolisher as enchantments on Sarulf, and maybe something big enough you probably won’t be exiling such as Ghalta, Primal Hunger since your commander himself should make dirt cheap to cast, but beyond that I find a combination of ramp, removal, and protection for Sarulf will suit you best. Deathsprout is a great card I could recommend. Ranger's Guile is great because it can protect your commander, making him bigger.

Phule451 thanks a ton! I’m still a bit hesitant on bounce lands these days, I just feel icky playing most tapped lands. Will definitely find room for the giant, will consider Deathsprout for now only because it isn’t as flexible as Putrefy or as cheaply-costed as Terminate.

Cards that work well both early and when you draw them latter are key. Beanstalk Giant is great for you, early on it ramps you up, later gives you a fatty to throw at your opponents. Also, cards that ramp you while doing something else like Deathsprout and Broken Bond serve as removal AND ramp, admittedly Broken Bond is a bit more situational. also, I know it’s not “cool” to run bounce lans anymore, but they are a great way to ensure you’re never missing land drops.

Also don’t forget fatties that don’t cost much mana like Rotting Regisaur we’ll help ya out too.

Swebb87 on mistbind clique & deathsprout

4 months ago

My opponent casts a Mistbind Clique and then goes to champion a fairie to stop it from being sacrificed. Is there any point in time when I could cast any removal instant spell, let's say Deathsprout for instance and kill the Mistbind Clique before it can trigger the land tapping effect?

and of course pocket sand: Blinding Powder

All good card you added. Got some recommendations but consider making sure your deck follows this formula: 10ish ramp cards 10ish card draw cards 4 spot removal cards 4 boardwipes

Ardees on It's Just a Flesh Wound (Budget Meren)

Suggestions from someone who started from a total junk Meren deck in 2015, and through the years made it to a cEDH (check the playlist here if you want: Meren Surgical Toolbox [2K22]:

• Way too many lands. Never seen any budget deck running almost half the deck on lands only. Consider adding cheap staple cards like Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, or something like Emergent Sequence, Greenseeker (it also discards you a creature that you can pick up with meren at the end of turn), Primal Growth (good sac outlet too), Dawntreader Elk, Deathsprout, Diligent Farmhand, Rampant Growth, and notable Yavimaya Elder. Consider also adding all the 1-mana elves, all of which sit around 0.10$. If you include all these changes you can easily remove 10 lands, and sit at 35 lands total.

• Some cards you included are just downright bad, even for a budget deck. You can not only find cheaper but also better replacements for cards like Reprocess, Spider Spawning, Evincar's Justice, Zendikar's Roil. Some cards you have in your maybeboard, like Skullclamp or Buried Alive are much better options. Most definitely include Village Rites and Midnight Reaper for card draw, and Spore Frog for protection. Also Reclamation Sage

• Include Carrion Feeder as a sac outlet. You can also consider Spawning Pit and Culling Dais.

• Your deck has a very high CMC, 4.05. For a golgari deck this is way too high, considering reaching at least 3.00.

• Jarad's Orders and Diabolic Tutor are the cheapest tutors you can get. Definitely run them both.

More generally, have a look at EDHREC.com to see what cards best fit a budget Meren deck. No offense, but even as a budget your deck certainly needs much improvement. That is, assuming you don't run cards for their flavor or because you just like them. Then that's totally up to you.
