Inexorable Tide
Enchantment
Whenever you cast a spell, proliferate. (You choose any number of permanents and/or players with counters on them, then give each another counter of a kind already there.)
DemonDragonJ on Flux Channeler or Lulu, Stern …

I have a copy of Flux Channeler in my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, but I am contemplating replacing that card with Lulu, Stern Guardian, because Lulu works as a mana sink and also has an additional ability that works well with that deck's theme. It is true that the channeler requires no additional investment of resources after she is summoned, but her ability has a restriction that I find to be annoying (as it prevents me from replacing Vedalken Orrery with High Fae Trickster), and I already have a copy of Inexorable Tide in that deck, so replacing the channeler would not be a major issue.
What does everyone else say, about this subject? Should I replace Flux Channeler with Lulu, or leave the channeler in my deck? I certainly am eager to hear your thoughts, on this matter!

Very cool deck! This is one of things that I love about Magic. The Swarmlord is one of my favorite commanders and Slime Against Humanity is one of my favorite cards but I’ve somehow never thought about playing them in the same deck! Really cool idea with great execution! Here are some cards that I would run in my version of the deck.
Interaction/protection:
Board Wipes
Ramp:
More counters:
Card draw:
Game-Ending Bombs:

I was going to make some suggestions for Kilo but I see you changed commanders to Inspirit. Looks more like an artifact creatures and charge counters build. For this I would recommend:
Unwinding Clock is great with any artifact strategy.
Tempered Steel buffs most of your creatures.
Inexorable Tide is a great proliferate engine.
Magistrate's Scepter gives you infinite turns with Kilo, Apogee Mind and your commander. You can also find other fun combos here.
Happy Brewing!

Hi Baron777,
Just responding to your post here. I hope you don't mind. Just for my own understanding, I think you need to clarify what kind of decks you want to play against. When you say "This is designed as a fun 6-7 level deck that..." This tells me nothing. When discussing your deck I suggest following this prompt:
- My deck has a budget of...
- My manabase has the most efficient lands available/most cheap and slow utility tapped lands and tapped fetches/a mix between the two
- My deck threatens to kill an opponent between turns x and y/The most important turns for my deck are between x and y when my deck can pop off when doing z.
Based off of the previously mentioned cards in your post - namely Solemnity and Torpor Orb it sounds like your meta has a lot of particularly nasty control magic that can absolutely one card you out of a game. Therefore I suggest adding both more ramp and more interaction - you're in the colors for it:
-
More ramp: Staples such as Nature's Lore, Rampant Growth, Kodama's Reach/Cultivate are missing
-
More tutors such as: Worldly Tutor, Sylvan Tutor and Enlightened Tutor
-
Try experimenting with proliferation: options as well Karn's Bastion, Inexorable Tide, or even Sword of Truth and Justice can keep Shield counters on your creatures making them continuously difficult to deal with
-
More removal: Adding spells like Naturalize, Voidslime, Farewell, Counterspell, Beast Within, Generous Gift, Mana Drain, Force of Will, Plasm Capture, Arcane Denial, Dovin's Veto
In summary, I think your deck doesn't match what it's playing against. You need to have more consistency if you are going up against opponents who are going to completely lock you out of a game. To get that, you need to make sure you can target problem permanents as often as possible.

Okay, I am back thank you for your patience. I don't know if you're just looking for advice or if you want a whole deck list, so I'll meet you somewhere in between.
So I use the manabox app for card listings. Turns out I miscounted and there are 35. If you put all but Twisted Riddlekeeper(potential color identity issues) in there you have a good start.
Perhaps the strongest cards in addition to Fear of Sleep Paralysis are Mjolnir, Storm Hammer, Monstrosity of the Lake and Scroll of Isildur; though even cards like Kitnap, Lost in the Maze and Sleep-Cursed Faerie can be a boon due to Tekuthal's activated ability and not be affected by Fear of Sleep Paralysis.
One card I recommend you add is Maskwood Nexus. Both Protocol Knight and The Watcher in the Water require creature types to be effective.
Speaking of Watcher in the Water, you'll need instant speed card draw. You're gonna need card draw regardless, but WitW will need feeding to be effective. This includes, but isn't limited to Archmage's Charm, Bane's Contingency, Jace's Archivist, Opt and Triskaidekaphile.
Triskaidekaphile is an Alternate Win Card as well, which you should have in your deck as a means of winning if you can't win by beating up your opponents. Other Alternate Win cards that would also fit the best in this deck are Central Elevator / Promising Stairs(To fully take advantage of the Eerie ability on Fear of Sleep Paralysis), Darksteel Reactor and Twenty-Toed Toad(which doesn't specify what counters apply to the win condition).
The latter two are fed well by your commander's static ability. Proliferate cards you can use include, but are not limited to, Contagion Engine, Contentious Plan and Inexorable Tide.
However, if you have a Commander like Tekuthal, it would not be wise to NOT take advantage of the proliferate ability. Crystalline Giant can give your creatures counters other than +1/+1, especially if you use Goldberry, River-Daughter to move hexproof counters onto your most important pieces. Power Conduit is another card that can strengthen your creatures. And you certainly can't go wrong with The Ozolith of you can afford it.
Ramp, like card draw, should be in every deck. Sol Ring is practically a necessity. Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice become mana fountains of their own once the charge counters are on and proliferating. Though cards like Arcane Melee, Defiler of Dreams and Urza's Incubator(which gets support from Maskwood Nexus) are just as useful.
And finally there's lands that can help with counters(like Nesting Grounds and Blast Zone), reusing spells(Like Mystic Sanctuary), redundancy(such as Reliquary Tower) and can offer elements of control not available to blue(such as Scavenger Grounds. Try this keep at least half lands as Basic Islands. That way, if you get hit with cards like Alpine Moon or Blood Moon it's not an immediate capitation.
Well, that it for my part. I hope this is a help, if nothing else than for inspiration. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Power Taint -> Grim Affliction

The Filigree Sylex -> Plague Stinger
Font of Progress -> Throne of Geth
glistener seer -> Viral Drake
Ravenous Necrotitan -> Ichor Rats
Phyrexian Atlas -> Staff of Compleation

I guess do some playtesting and see how things go.
I’d heavily suggest against using ”pet cards” though, as this archetype is already trying to pursue a gameplan that is far-from optimal, and so it needs all the help it can get. Including Corrupted Resolve just because you-can, seems like you’re kneecapping your brew before its even had a chance to compete.
Inexorable Tide is in-of itself a bad card, and even running one copy feels dubious. I’d only considered one-copy “ok” because there will be some grindy top-decky situations where it can help. But even then, there will be a lot of games where drawing this, or playing it, cost you the game. Running two copies feels very dangerous.
Running better draw effects, like Opt, Consider, Preordain, Memory Deluge, will draw you naturally into more poison effects. You don’t need Infectious Inquiry to be doing that also. Especially when its life-loss worsens your matchup versus anything remotely-aggro, and its sorcery-speed makes it almost-impossible to control the boardstate.
But, i’d suggest playing some matchups with this deck and seeing how this performs in reality. I’m super-confident my points will hold-up, but its best to test and see.

wallisface: Inexorable Tide is the only thing resembling a "finisher" in here, and the effect stacks, so running a pair seems to make sense..
I want to maximize the absolute number of cards that give the opponent(s) poison counters, hence Infectious Inquiry's 'pair of' status as well. I may drop one eventually, but it will probably always be (at least) a '1-of'..
Finally, while you are absolutely correct about Corrupted Resolve, this is also quite possibly the only type of deck that can even use this card in the first place!! So I guess you can call it a "pet card" of sorts, but that's why I'm also capping it at a pair as well..
