Quady14 on Slimefoot, the Stowaway

1 month ago

Phew, I got kind of exhaustive with this so apologies in advance but Slimefoot's very nostalgic for me so it's my pleasure to pass along some of my includes I didn't see mentioned already. Hope it helps and from one fungus friend to another I wish you good luck!

Dina, Soul Steeper: teams up with Slimefoot's life gain on saproling death triggers and in a pinch she can be a mana sink sac outlet.

Priest of Forgotten Gods: Easily turns saprolings into extra damage, mana and card draw, probably one of my favorite value generators.

Psychotrope Thallid: Has gotten grossly $$$ for a utility add, but undeniably one of the better small Fungus creatures alongside Utopia Mycon to draw more sap generators and life drainers into your hand while executing your gameplan.

Vitaspore Thallid: You never know when a little haste can turn the tables to start tapping abilities early or stage a surprise Overrun or well-timed Song of Freyalise, I like including this fella just for that.

Body Count: Similar to Plumb the Forbidden this instantly reloads your hand when you (or an opponent) sweep your tokens.

Dig Up: Fun on-theme turn-1 ramp that can be Cleaved into a Diabolic Tutor. Not that that's very powerful or speedy but it's nice to have a flexible multitasker in the mix.

Gruesome Fate: Easy game ender for big damage if nobody quells your saproling-growing, you can do a one-two punch casting this first, then sacrificing your tokens if you can finish off the table.

Saproling Symbiosis: A saproling-specific Second Harvest effect that doubles its count based on all creatures, not just tokens, so your nontoken life drainers will contribute to the token generation as well.

Spontaneous Generation: After you get a huge hand with Plumb the Forbidden, Body Count, Snake Umbra and Keen Sense this will basically blow up your token army to preposterous size.

Saproling Burst: Old card with clumsy wording but for Slimefoot's purposes you can basically drop it on the board, gain 7 saprolings by removing all the Fading triggers thus killing the enchantment, which in turn destroys the tokens made with it. Another great big-damage finisher or surprise value play.

Fungal Plots: Despite Golgari colors I don't think Slimefoot benefits as much from recursion as others so this lets you use your graveyard as a token cultivating ground when your nontoken creatures die from removal or board wipes, plus gives you an outlet to sacrifice those saprolings two at a time for card draw and life gain. It does a lot for a low cost so I consider it an auto-include.

Night Soil: Selective graveyard hate to fuel token production, not as multifaceted as Fungal Plots above but a good token generator to have around in longer games along with Necrogenesis.

Moldervine Reclamation: Good, generalized Golgari card advantage and life gain on death triggers. A little expensive but well worth it if games trend longer.

Agent of the Iron Throne: Just a nice life drain enchantment from the D&D set, enchantments stick to the board better than creatures too so it can be worth the slot.

Snake Umbra: Same as Keen Sense if you slap this on Slimefoot, other than the Totem protection which is excellent for Commander, you get a card for every instance of damage thus making every saproling worth 3 cards in your average 4-player pod. Unless your tokens get mass bounced or exiled AND you don't have one of your many free sac outlets you'll never run out of fuel for the engine. This also makes Thought Vessel and Reliquary Tower worth considering in case you do end up holding a pile of good cards in hand, lol.

Verdant Embrace: Rounds out the Tendershoot Dryad & Verdant Force saproling-every-upkeep silliness with an aura you can pop onto your sturdiest creature so it sticks around.

Neko-Te: Last one and a weird one but Neko-Te on Slimefoot turns every death trigger into two damage so you'll kill your opponents in half the time/sacs. Good to shave down your turn clock to victory.

multimedia I took a break from magic for a while, but i have now updated the deck! My LGS banned infinite combos so i had to make some changes like not including warren soultrader and removing Pitiless Plunderer, but the deck does play well now, the Alter of Bhaal combo is really good. I'm considering adding back the cards Gempalm Polluter, Gruesome Fate, and Skemfar Shadowsage as alternate win cons when attacking isnt viable, and maybe cutting the Thornbite Staff. Any suggestions for Non infinite Combos/upgrades?

Sounds good legendofa. I looked over the Ixalan sets (…not my favorites…)

Dowsing Dagger  Flip

Thaumatic Compass  Flip

Atzocan Seer definitely from the perspective of the dude reflected in the orb.


These I’m not sold on.

Heartless Pillage It’s a stretch, but it might be possible this is a first person view. (The Ixalan version, idk the abbreviation)

Primal Amulet  Flip has hands coming from offscreen, but I don’t see how this is 1st person.

Prosperous Pirates I think we see the tip of the guy’s hat on the far left, which would negate this being first person I suppose.

Prying Blade I think the angle is too far off to count as FPP.

Sorcerous Spyglass the ship is totally checking itself out in the reflection, making sure its sails are on point before it hits da harbor

Treasure Map  Flip Regarding the Ixalan card art, at first I thought it was a pirate pointing at the map from their viewpoint using the dagger thingy, but no one’s holding the handle. It’s jammed into the map and wedged into the table. I don’t think this is anyone in particular’s perspective. The card art shown here might count though. Idk the abbreviation for the Ixalan set btw.

Deadeye Rig-Hauler maybe this is the viewpoint of the hanging guy, maybe not.

Gruesome Fate are we looking from a rat’s perspective? Does that count?

Hunt the Weak Well, unless there are eyeballs inside the dinosaur’s mouth or unless we’re seeing this from the viewpoint of another creature about to be eaten that’s already inside the mouth, I guess this one doesn’t count. Pretty cool camera angle nonetheless.

Hey, those are good changes since Warren Soultrader is an infinite sac combo with Gravecrawler + Bontu's Monument, this gives you a wincon without needing to attack.

Three cuts to consider are Bad Moon, Stoneforge Masterwork and Gruesome Fate since these cards do nothing without having creatures in your control and even then I don't think they are needed. Now that you may be adding Soultrader then I don't think you need Fate. Fate could potentially be a wincon if you can't attack with your Zombie horde, but now Soultrader combo can be the nonattacking wincon and you don't need a Zombie horde to win.

For other cuts to consider, some of the lesser removal spells Murder, Poison the Cup, Assassin's Ink since the others you have here are better. Next cuts could be switching recursion Ghoulcaller's Chant, Cemetery Recruitment, Stitch Together for more lower mana cost reanimation. Stitch could be reanimation, but not in the early game where you want it.

You could cut two cards that are only good with Gisa Thornbite Staff (is there a combo here with Staff that I don't see?) and Patriar's Seal, replacing them with more haste enablers. The haste enablers are good with Gisa plus they can protect her, but also with any creature you reanimate as well as protecting Soultrader when combo.

Other cuts to consider could be some of the lesser creatures Gempalm Polluter, Nested Shambler, Death Tyrant for some better reanimation targets. Consider cutting the 3-4 drop ramp Heraldic Banner, Nyx Lotus for draw?

Feed the Swarm can be an important removal spell for mono black since it can remove an enchantment. Vile Mutilator can be reanimated and it makes each opponent sac an enchantment as well as a creature. Bubbling Muck with 30x Swamps could produce a lot of mana on your turn. If you want more ramp then Muck/Mind Stone/Jet Medallion are good options.

Suns_Champion on Your Cheap Obscure Overperformers?

1 year ago

Hmm obscure and cheap. Yeah I'm always finding new (old) stuff. Good thread.

I recently tried Pure Reflection in my Elenda deck and it is sick. Just a bunch of death triggers. And people have never heard of it. Gruesome Fate is another cheap card I use as a wincon. No one ever expects it.

In other decks I like to use Vicious Rumors and Arterial Flow as cheap 3-for-1 or 6-for-1 discard effects.

Davinoth on Fungus Among Us

     Very cool build! I love a lot of your card choices like Gruesome Fate & Dina, Soul Steeper. =D

     Nothing too crazy, but a few suggestions! You could cut Eliminate in favour of Abrupt Decay. In that same vein, you've got a lot of creature removal but not as many ways to deal with other permanent types, so I think Acidic Slime would be a better fit than Shriekmaw. I also wonder if Tragic Slip over Eaten Alive might be a good change - even though it doesn't hit Planeswalkers at least it's Instant-speed and only one mana to cast, and still removes Indestructible creatures.

     Cards that I think would be great additions but I'm not sure what the best cuts would be for your playstyle: Birthing Pod, Bastion of Remembrance, Throne of the God-Pharaoh & Pact of the Serpent.

     Only other suggestion is maybe find room for a few more lands. You're not playing that much card draw, so you may find it tough to hit your land drops consistently through turn 5/6.

     Again, love the build! +1 =)

Synreth on Hapatra EDH

3 years ago

Awesome deck my man! I absolutely love Hapatra and think she is really fun! Feel free to check out my own build and see if there is anything in there you like: Hapatra, Vizier of Plagues

But may I suggest: Hard to block Hapatra - Trailblazer's Boots, Sword of Truth and Justice, Sleeper's Guile, Cover of Darkness (also can be used to hit with alot of snakes)

Tokens helping - Bastion of Remembrance, The Meathook Massacre, Gruesome Fate, Throne of the God-Pharaoh, Harvest Season, Altar of the Brood

Target anything - Glaring Spotlight, Shadowspear

Keep it up man! Really fun to play :)
