Kenrith's Transformation

Enchantment — Aura

Enchant creature

When this enters the battlefield, draw a card.

Enchanted creature loses all abilities and is a green Elk creature with base power and toughness 3/3. (It loses all other card types and creature types.)

Hey man, looking over it, obviously a great looking budget list. Keeping a general mindset of no cards over $3 I would add:

Removal : Seal of Removal, Seal of Doom, Oubliette, Kenrith's Transformation. These are awesome removals that you can play and keep until you need to use them, and Returnable with Mully

Ramp : Bounty of the Luxa, Mind Stone, Rootcoil Creeper, Leyline Prowler, Kodama's Reach Good cheap cards to help you get Muldrotha out faster, and then be able to play 2-3 spells a turn. The Prowler is also just an awesome blocker sometimes with his deathtouch.

Top End : World Breaker because he just deals with SO MANY weird things your opponents could be doing, Tatyova, Benthic Druid is awesome, especially with the fetch-style lands you've got going on.

Tutor : Dig Up Great budget Tutor for your colors.

I would take out: Too high CMC / Clunky : Deadbridge Chant, Izoni, Thousand-Eyed, Worm Harvest, Mythos of Brokkos (replace with Dig Up)

Too uneventful / slow / non-impactful : Desecrated Tomb, Perpetual Timepiece, Tamiyo, Collector of Tales, Growth Spiral, Llanowar Elves, Foundation Breaker, Vessel of Nascency, Stinkweed Imp

Thanks for commenting, Lord_of_Cardboard!

This deck would do exceptionally well against a Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger deck. This is for the same reason that cards like Jace's Archivist do so well in the deck: if you have have Muldrotha on the battlefield, any cards you discard might as well still be in your hand cause you can simply replay them from your graveyard. If anything, an opposing Kroxa player is almost helping you by disrupting your other opponents' hands.

As for a budget version of the deck, here's some advice on budget options and replacements. Just note that this is advice specific to my Muldrotha deck, i.e., advice for the big mana and big X-spell strategy. If you'd rather play a more typical creature-based, swing-to-kill type deck, there may be better Muldrotha lists to look at.

The mana base makes up a large portion of the deck's budget, and I would leave that mostly up to your own discretion. Just keep in mind that fetch lands like Evolving Wilds and slow fetches like Bad River are good for being replayed every turn with Muldrotha. Also, for a budget version of the deck, it's important to run more basics than I do since you'll probably need to fetch more with your ramp. Cycle lands like Lonely Sandbar, Tranquil Thicket, and Barren Moor are fantastic, especially with Life from the Loam. Some other good options:

• Crystal Vein
• Myriad Landscape
• Ghost Quarter
• Cryptic Caves

Which brings me to another point: if I had to pick one somewhat expensive card that's worth putting in a budget Muldrotha deck, it's this one. It's a one-card value engine, giving you card draw, mill, and lands. And depending on what utility lands you choose to run, it can do a whole lot more. And if you're worried about Kroxa in your meta, Life from the Loam is a great counter to it, allowing you to fill your hand with lands to discard.

Now to address key cards for the deck's "big mana" strategy. Important cards for generating a lot of mana include Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Cabal Coffers, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Crypt Ghast, and Nyxbloom Ancient. You could just replace these cards with normal ramp; casting X-spells for X=10 is still good and easy to accomplish without these cards. If that's unsatisfying for you, you could consider options like Zendikar Resurgent and Mana Reflection. Unfortunately there aren't many great cheap options for producing a lot of mana. This is an important part of the deck though, so it's up to you if it's worth spending some extra money on it.

To avoid this comment being any more lengthy than it already is, here's an extensive list of some budget alternatives for the deck. The great thing about Muldrotha is that being able to replay removal makes a lot of sub-par removal actually pretty good, so it's pretty budget friendly.

Win-Conditions: What's in the deck isn't too expensive, but here's some cheaper options.

• Mass Manipulation
• Gelatinous Genesis
• Mind Grind
• Hydra Broodmaster
• Other hydras (there's lots of them)

Removal:

• Plaguecrafter / Demon's Disciple
• Seal of Doom / Shriekmaw / Executioner's Capsule
• Night Incarnate
• Outland Liberator  ^Flip
• Thrashing Brontodon
• Kenrith's Transformation / Frogify / Kasmina's Transmutation
• Vraska the Unseen / Ob Nixilis Reignited
• Sidisi's Faithful

Draw / Mill:

• Vessel of Nascency
• Satyr Wayfinder
• Tatyova, Benthic Druid
• Mirror-Mad Phantasm
• Dreamborn Muse
• River Kelpie
• Windfall
• Witching Well
• Courier's Capsule
• Omen of the Sea
• Fact or Fiction
• Forgotten Creation
• Kiora, Master of the Depths

Tutors:

• Gravebreaker Lamia
• Corpse Connoisseur
• Final Parting
• Diabolic Tutor
• Buried Alive

Ramp:

• Springbloom Druid
• Burnished Hart
• Dawntreader Elk
• Fertilid
• Diligent Farmhand
• Kodama's Reach
• Wayfarer's Bauble
• Font of Fertility
• Omen of the Hunt
• Yavimaya Elder
• Kiora, the Crashing Wave

Control and other good stuff:

• Zur's Weirding

• Drown in the Loch

Hey! I'm glad you liked Elder Gargaroth in action!

Also, I playtested your deck and got a turn 2 Ghired with Exploration and Ancient Tomb (reeeally hard for an opponent to answer it). Burgeoning has a similar effect.

I don't like giving options for opponents with Selvala's Stampede, but, if you're using it, make it so that all creatures are relevant/powerful when flipped with the Stampede (so no Sakura-Tribe Elder, for example).

Maybe Swift Reconfiguration is the instant speed Kenrith's Transformation you're looking for :-)

As always, I like to know how this deck is going - I even playtest it every now and then to know how it is to be playing the best cards for Ghired, Conclave Exile. Cheers!

Hi eliakimras,

I was now able to do some playtests with the current set. I still changed some more cards.

Added:

• Elder Gargaroth for Keeper of Fables
  Elder is crazy good, drew it 2 times, and it gave me so much options. for example with token doubler and Elemental Bond or with Quartzwood Crasher.
  
• Exploration for Chrome Mox
  I dont like the Cardloss from the mox, and when I have good card draw, I can get rid of additional lands
  
• Selvala's Stampede for Tendershoot Dryad
  Still not drawn, but this card seems like crazy good. Tendershoot has to less synergy, as it doesnt trigger my 4 power card draws.
• Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip for a Forest
  probably dumb, still not drawn. I probably have to switch it for a "Ramp" slot. Right now this would probably Sword of Hearth and Home
  
• Kenrith's Transformation for Swords to Plowshares
  I like that kenrith is denying a commander, and no life gain. But you lose instant speed. Still not sure which better
  
• Jeska's Will for Farewell
  Its always easy to cut a Boardwipe, and mostly not the best Idea...2 boardwipes left...but I want to test how Jeska works in this kind of deck.
• Emblem of the Warmind for Rampaging Baloths
  Cheapest "all Creaturs get Haste" card in MTG. Cutting Baloths was not easy and maybe Omnath, Locus of Rage is the better cut, as it is more expensive and harder to cast. never drawn actually. but haste is insane for this deck. so lets give it a try.
• Gisela, Blade of Goldnight for Titanic Ultimatum
  I still waiting for Gisela, so never played it. But for Budget, Titanic is still a very good card. It won me games or saved me from loosing at certain points due to lifelink. Gisela seems more powerful and easier to cast.
• Rishkar's Expertise for Garruk, Primal Hunter or Rampaging Baloths still not sure.
  

Feedback to new or rarely played cards:

• Quartzwood Crasher is insane good. Thematically, and also its easy to get like a 10 or 15/15 Token, which you can copy with ghired, after that its gonna be snowball. Surely one of the best cards in this deck. Similar with Elder Gargaroth
• Selesnya Eulogist: Surprisingly good card, I rarely drew it beside the fact thats it a day 1 card of this deck. But targeting creatures from other graveyards (or the own) to prevent reanimate or similiar, and getting blockers is very good!

Cards I am uncertain:

• Wulfgar of Icewind Dale: he is nice, as I have some cards with attack triggers. But maybe he is too expensive. If he goes out, Rampaging Baloths will come back
  
• Hofri Ghostforge: Only played once, with already strong board. Here he is really nice. best with ETB creatures like Dockside Extortionist with this one i was most sceptical, but I think I will keep him.

Still the deck has a lot of protection, and I am not sure if it too much, but as Ghired is quite expensive, I will right now, not cut a indestructible spell.

About your utility Lands. yeah Gavony Township might be a cool manasink. But Right now I dont have it, as I put it in another deck. also i have a lot of utility lands right now. Kessig wolf run I removed, as having Trample seems no problem in my last plays.

tiagompm on Muldrotha "Super Budget" The Gravetide [Updated!]

Hello Last_Laugh!

Thanks for your suggestions!

I don't even know why I missed Greater Good! Use it in my competitive deck... One of Muldrotha's best card draws!

The Sacrifice is excellent in turbo ramp but this deck is more midrange, I won't "sacrifice" a slot for an instant that ramps, I'll prioritize permanents to ramp.. Unmarked Grave is an excellent tutor but the price is already going up.. like Wishclaw Talisman.

I really like Imprisoned in the Moon but I'm prioritizing Kenrith's Transformation for the same purpose...but I can try to put both!

I really liked your competitive deck! I can study ideas for my turbo Muldrotha Competitive/Stax that you can also get ideas!
