Menace, ward {1} (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays {1}.)

Whenever Nashi, Moon's Legacy attacks, exile up to one target legendary or Rat card from your graveyard and copy it. You may cast the copy. (You still pay its costs. A copy of a permanent spell becomes a token.)

Last_Laugh on How Many Rat Colony Is …

"Twisted Tails" - Nashi's Rat Mischief

I've owned rats for about 15 years now and actually used to breed them for pets but I've somehow never built a rats deck so I had to remedy that. I recently built a Sultai Rat Colony deck with Nashi, Moon's Legacy at the helm. I run 20x Rat Colony currently but I've never built around any of these effects like Slime Against Humanity etc. so I'm just after some opinions on an ideal # (bonus points if you can figure out cuts in the event I need more rat colonies).

Other suggestions, upvotes, or feedback (or whatever) are always welcome of course, thanks in advance!

I do like the cactusfolk designs. Both of the naya precon commanders are pretty cool! I'm also kind of considering getting that deck and upgrading it as well.

I made a giant list of cards with combat damage triggers for Felix. Not quite sure if I should lean into the "give creatures with triggers evasive" route or "give evasive creatures triggers" route quite yet.

This is great, though. I have a mostly built in paper Nashi, Moon's Legacy deck that wasn't really appealing to me on Arena (though built slightly differently) and have been looking for a reason to scrap it. It's got a pretty decent landbase.

Personally i just do not like having my opponent drawing extra card. You still got 8 deathtouch creatures plus insects from Hornet Nest and you got Spark Double Majestic Myriarch Nashi, Moon's Legacy Odric, Lunarch Marshal Eater of Virtue Agent's Toolkit . And being a Monarch for that extra draw you do not need when you got Damia, Sage of Stone Staff of Compleation Garruk's Uprising Glissa Sunslayer Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain Kenrith, the Returned King Leinore, Autumn Sovereign Reki, the History of Kamigawa and Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge . But you also have Kaya, Geist Hunter in your maybe board if you really want deathtouch .

rwn1971 Your criticism of Skullwinder is fair. I agree that in a 1-on-1 situation it can feel bad. However, with 2 or more opponents it becomes a political card and you have the potential to make a beneficial deal with whichever opponent gets the card. Of course, if you are the archenemy then it may be that no opponent will cooperate, but even in that situation it's possible (depending on your meta, likely?) that at least one opponent has nothing threatening in their graveyard. I am hesitant to remove any graveyard recursion as I'm afraid we may often be a target for removal (since tutors tend to be pretty good...) and I think it may be important to be able to replay some of our key cards like Jegantha, Odric, or Jodah. Of course, I can't get a feel for how often this will come up until getting in a bunch of games with actual opponents.

Other ways to get stuff from our graveyard include: Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip, Kethis, the Hidden Hand, Nashi, Moon's Legacy, and Kenrith, the Returned King. Three of these sources can even be tutored for with Buttercup, so perhaps you're right that Skullwinder is unnecessary. For now, I'll put in Jhoira for Skullwinder. This means losing another deathtouch creature, but perhaps at this point we just find other ways to give all our creatures deathtouch.

That brings us to Ankle Shanker. If it were legendary, I think it would be an auto-include. As is, we can't tutor for it and the three colored pips in the mana cost are all downside since they won't buff Buttercup at all. It might still be worth it as an alternative way to give everything deathtouch for Westley, but I'll have to think about it. Again, it's getting harder for me to make cuts...

As for Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, I like that card and have even thought about creating another deck with it as my commander, but I'm not sure it has enough synergy for what I want to do. Yes, it's legendary and two colors and has deathtouch, but its other effects won't really do much in this deck.

Would you take out Mirkwood Spider, Wasteland Viper, or Tidehollow Strix for one or both of those cards? Or is there another card that should be on the chopping block?
