Crow_Umbra on Terror Forming Terraforming [Primer]

Thank you SufferFromEDHD, I appreciate it. I was fortunate to pick up a Squandered Resources last January for $14. I hadn't realized how much it spiked in price with the recent EOE precon's popularity. I don't think I have seen Infernal Tribute before, but I'll def keep it in mind. Dust Bowl could be a solid add, but would likely have to replace either a basic or a tapped land. Diabolic Intent is also solid, I have a copy or two on hand.

I hadn't really considered Bootleggers' Stash for this deck AkaAkuma (honestly kinda forgot it existed). Yeah Ouroboroid and Mossborn Hydra are both kinda boom or bust, but are a lot of fun when they do pop off. I do like that Mossborn already has baked in Trample, so turns with extra land drops and recursion can ensure that it's erasing somebody. Ouroboroid is mostly for the go-wide, and is more so a finisher than a value piece.

I can def see the case for something like Living Death. The addition of Vigor was something along the lines of, "I have a copy in my binders, and Idk what other deck I'd realistically play this in". Also, I figured the wonky mana cost would be a bit more manageable since Green is the overwhelmingly dominant color of the deck.

Difficult to say what to cut, you already have a synergetic deck, mazirek does is nice to have, especially if you can also make something like treasures from Bootleggers' Stash.

Ouroboroid or Mossborn Hydra don't do much for your main plan, but if you can get counters on them by Szarel I do see their strengths.

On the other hand I personally always end up cutting Vigor, it's a steep 6 mana for something situational unless you have something like chandras ingnition on hand. A wipe like Living Death could give the same result though, Szarels ability can only resolve after living death put new creatures on board to target. Sac everything with greater good prior to living death and your set.

Thanks alot! I dislike Living Death, because it can cause problems with Massacre Girl in the graveyard, just like Rise of the Dark Realms.

The other two are amazing suggestions! I will try to get hold of these, and try them out (especially Springheart Nantuko).

Ahh Jarad, my favorite golgari boy aside from The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride! This deck looks nice, I use him in a +1 counter setting where he is often a 7 mana game-ender.

Any thoughts on Spinner of Souls/Living Death? Or perhaps Springheart Nantuko seeing you have some landfall synergy. Copy your biggest guy and sac the token copy for value.

I am confused. Living Death isn't in your deck-list.

FormOverFunction on Why Not Simply Use a …

The text size used to scale (the Copper Tablet I have in my torture deck is an example) and it was fine. I’m more concerned with how much stuff the cards do. I do want to have interesting effects, and writing it out in a way that won’t be taken advantage of can be difficult (like with the simple concept of Living Death), but I think they’ve found the sweet spot for font and should focus on maybe limiting cards to one effect.

Tombstone Stairwell can be fun. Everyone likes extra tokens. You can use entry and death triggers (Think Blood Artist and Suture Priest.) to break the symmetry. But it has cumulative upkeep, so it won't be on the board for long.

Monkey Cage is just fun. It's really great with Living Death or Rise of the Dark Realms since the Cage is worded such that it sees all the creatures enter and triggers to all of them (meaning if a creature which costs {1}{U}, a creature which costs {B}{B}{B}, and a creature which costs {W} enter at the same time, you get six tokens.), but even Smile at Death or Victimize nets you two creatures (and tokens equal to their total mana value). Plus, it's a fun creature type with a little bit of unpredictability.
