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.

This looks quite powerful; well done :) Mossborn Hydra would seem like a nice include, as you've got so many opportunities in here for land-drops that it becomes excessively strong incredibly fast. One could consider Tifa Lockhart for similar reasons. Personally, I'd replace Chatterfang with either. You only have a few token generators (5) in this deck with which Chatter can interact, so for most of the time he won't do that much.

Well, finally won a multiplayer game Friday, thus completing my quest to win with each of my commander decks, which began May 3, 2024. Had an early Serra Ascendant. Taunt from the Rampart was the key card. Cast it while Auren had a 16/16 Mossborn Hydra and swung at him for about 9. He untapped and made his land drop before sending his goaded hydra for 32 at Will, who retaliated, dropping Auren to 6. Lauren admitted, he would have swung at me if the hydra wasn't goaded. I was able to get the kill shot on Auren--playing Koma, World-Eater. Mosswort Bridge found a Timeless Witness. I cast it to get back the Taunt from the Rampart. That let me take out Will, playing his new Volrath, the Shapestealer binder deck, and I had a couple tricks left to kill Jared, playing Naya humans, including a Githzerai Monk.

I've been testing Exemplar of Light for both a card draw function and another creature that could deal with opposing flyers other than Railway Brawler. It seemed to work so far but I'll test out Mossborn Hydra too, thanks for the suggestion

cool deck, maybe switch out Exemplar of Light for Mossborn Hydra as it doesn't really work with the deck
