Whenever a creature dies, untap this. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens enter the graveyard before they cease to exist.)

capwner thanks for stopping by! This is admittedly a more casual deck than what you recommended to add, since it's already comfortably bracket 4. I'm gonna try to analyze a few of the suggestions to better explain how I've built the deck, but don't worry because I'll do a description update soon enough:

1. Mana Echoes isn't terribly effective for my iteration of Marath due to the fact I'm not intentionally sharing a creature type amongst the majority of my cast- if I was to employ such a concept, I would be using roughly 26-32 of the same creature typing within the deck, and this deck just.. isn't that.

2. Skullclamp would be helpful if I needed more reliable draw, and had token bodies to spare. Unfortunately, in my iteration I don't see why_where I could use the clamp without changing a big portion of the deck in front of me. I'm (also) not focused on tokens, really at all.

3. Kamahl, Fist of Krosa doesn't really interest me as a combo piece despite how cool Goblin Sharpshooter does the thing, but I personally avoid Mass Land Destruction because as I have stated above, this deck was meant to be a bit more laid back and less oppressive.

All in all I appreciate the commentary and the input because I didn't know about some of these combos I had access to. Thank you again for chiming in and for your time. Cheers!

Oh yeah I totally forgot they made Naya Ulasht, the Hate Seed! Seems like a bunch of Ulasht staples like Mana Echoes might go pretty nuts in this. Skullclamp and Basilisk Collar also seem obligatory. If you have mana sac outlets like Ashnod's Altar/Phyrexian Altar plus your Ivy Lane/Blade of the Bloodchief this is a simple way of infing out, Ashnod's Altar seems especially good here since you net mana and Marath can already target players, if you have a counter doubler or mana filter it's an instant kill. One thing Ulasht has on Marath though is the ability to employ the all powerful Utopia Mycon :) Also Kamahl, Fist of Krosa animate all their lands and snipe them with Marath/Goblin Sharpshooter is pretty funny

Never heard of PreDH, that's pretty awesome! I used to play Ulasht, he's/it's super cool and I am a fan of the janky fungus cards used to combo with it. A few recs that worked well for me in that deck:

Mana Echoes - just goes wild with mana

Ivy Lane Denizen - replaces counters on your ulasht and can go infinite

Goblin Sharpshooter - another good thing to equip with Basilisk Collar, also synergizes well as you are saccing your saprolings

Earthcraft makes a ton of mana and you even have Squirrel Nest already, or are you avoiding inf combos on purpose? EDIT oh earthcraft is crazy expensive now I don't remember it being quite so much XD

Wort, the Raidmother always felt great for the big boost to Ulasht count and ability to conspire say a GSZ to pull out multiple combo pieces

and I remember cards like Heroic Intervention being pretty important because the deck was so creature reliant and I even used Wrap in Vigor and Fresh Meat because green prot spells suck

Our decks look pretty different, I think yours is more midrangey and chill/casual with more cool on-flavor cards and less combo, which is totally valid! However if you are looking for a boost you could possibly consider a few of these. +1 for the cool oldschool format and commander

If you are looking to slow down opponents with a bunch of discard/hate bear/taxing effects then a commander you could consider is Alesha, Who Smiles at Death.

There are a lot of 1/1 creatures that make all of your opponents discard a card, and a lot of the hate-bear cards are in the 2 or less power range. Alesha giving you a way to keep bringing them back after they die or you sac them could be a useful effect in the command zone. Cards like Dauntless Dismantler, Inspired Insurgent, or Hammer Mage might help with destroying artifacts. Lurrus of the Dream-Den and Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle in the 99 could work as backup for your commander. Requiem Monolith gives you a card draw engine that can also kill your weaker ETB creatures so that Alesha can bring them back.

Goblin Sharpshooter + a way to give it deathtouch like Basilisk Collar, Onyx Mage, or Vault of the Archangel lets you repeatedly clear creatures from your opponents' boards.

Alesha's signature trick is to attack an opponents who has lost their creatures and bring back Master of Cruelties onto the board tapped and attacking (getting around the restriction of it attacking alone). The opponent won't be able to block the MoC, so their life total becomes 1, and then Alesha finishes them off. Cards like Break Through the Line can help creatures like MoC push some damage through.

There are a variety of combos that you could run as a finisher. If you don't care for combos, then cards like Cathars' Crusade and Serra Redeemer can help to make your creatures more dangerous threats. If you end up running a lot of discard and forced sac effects like Accursed Marauder then you could potentially run Tergrid, God of FrightGC  ^Flip as one of your game changers to steal your opponents' stuff and win with that.

Thoughts on Opposition AgentGC or Orcish BowmastersGC?

Since you are already playing Goblin Sharpshooter, if you combine that guy with Basilisk Collar, it destroys all opponent creatures now and future tense for the rest of the game.

Hey!

Sadly I got no Blacker Lotus for my treasure token, but I have a second Deadpool SL, to frame it. Its still unopend. Maybe I get lucky there.

You have to have another creature with thoughtnes one on the opponents or your board that you can kill with the second Goblin Sharpshooter you created, to untap them. Then you create a third Goblin Sharpshooter token and you can deal two damage to any target. You deal one damage to any target and one damage to a Goblin Sharpshooter token to untap again.

Hi Warcus,

I too purchased the Deadpool Secret lair! Which bonus card did you get? Separately, I have a question about the Goblin Sharpshooter + Splinter Twin = infinite damage combo - does that work exactly? I presume you would tap the Sharpshooter for the Splinter Twin ability making another copy of Goblin Sharpshooter. I presume you would then tap it to deal 1 damage to target creature - how do you untap the sharpshooter?
