legendofa your deck is very light on red permanents for Kederekt Parasite to be on a lot, maybe find some room for Razorkin Needlehead?

legendofa on Brew ideas for Scrawling Crawler

First pass, probably lots of room for improvement:

24 lands

4x Scrawling Crawler

4x Orcish Bowmasters

4x Stormfist Crusader

3x Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

4x Kederekt Parasite

1x Spiteful Visions

4x Blood Moon

4x Damping Sphere

2x Burning Inquiry

3x Lightning Bolt

3x Thoughtseize

This tries to win off passive damage, although the Crusader and Orc Army can chip in if they get a clear lane. Blood Moon and Damping Sphere shut down opponents' production, and you don't need to be casting a big pile of spells each turn anyway. Bolt and Thoughtseize are a pretty typical 1-mana removal package, but I'm soft on Thoughtseize as a late-game draw. Kederekt Parasite also feels subpar, but it's the cheapest draw punishment available. In testing it, I would watch the ratio of forced drawing to control effects--handing opponents free resources is dangerous, and if you can't shut them down, you're setting yourself up for failure.

I use Stormfist Crusader over the pirate cheap on mana yes they get a card but I always fine it better when it is on my turn as much as possible it is cheaper cmc wise don't have to attack and turns on Kederekt Parasite

Look at Faerie Mastermind to give yourself extra cards for low cmc and it dropped in price

I find Anvil of Bogardan works better since they still have to discard and I get them coming and going on damage

of course the Orcish Bowmasters is good

also if you want some fun Sigil of Sleep

I am debating on how evil I want to be I just acquired a Chains of Mephistopheles who need friends when you can set up chains + Teferi's Puzzle Box nightmare and laugh to no friends

DemonDragonJ on Should I Put Orcish Bowmasters …

I am contemplating putting Orcish Bowmasters into my Nekusar, the Mindrazer EDH deck, since their ability will be awesome in that deck, but I am not certain what card I should remove to make room for them.

The most logical card to replace is Kederekt Parasite, since that card requires that I control a red permanent in order for its ability to trigger; the bowmasters do have a higher mana cost and also do not trigger of the first card that each opponent draws each turn, but, in exchange for that, the bowmasters can strike any target and they also amass an army, which could become massive, if the deck plays properly. Theoretically, I could also replace Underworld Dreams, since that card is not a creature, and doing so would also reduce my deck’s mana curve, which is always nice, although the high monetary cost of the bowmasters is also a factor to consider, as well.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I put Orcish Bowmasters into my Nekusar deck?

Kederekt Parasite is surprisingly annoying for this kind of playstyle lol

I have reinstated Phyrexian Tyranny in this deck, replacing The Immortal Sun, which inexplicably increased deck's converted mana cost from 3.62 to 3.63, this since the sun did not truly fit the theme of this deck, and I again have another red permanent that shall synergize with Kederekt Parasite.

Burning Inquiry over Brainstorm.

Baleful Mastery over All is Dust

Kederekt Parasite over Magus of the Jar

Bone Miser over Sangromancer.
