Consider adding Nest of Scarabs . It’s much more mana efficient than Flourishing Defenses if you don’t have an elf-based lay-off. Also, Noxious Hatchling is an absolute bomb in this kind of deck, particularly when one or two Nests or Defenses are in play. Perhaps replacing some of the creatures with a couple copies of Dusk Urchins could be a move as well for card draw.

One of the advantages of Modern is that you can access a large pool of cards and find the most efficient option, but as a newer player those cards won't be necessarily known to you. That being said you have slipped into one of the bad habbits that most new players have; you aren't running 4x of any card in your deck, this reduces the consitency of your play. It might seem more interesting to have lots of different cards, but in the long run it actually hurts your deck.

Now you happen to have chosen the theme of -1/-1 counters and these haven't actually played a major part of magic that often. One of the earlier sets to play around with them was Eventide, it featured: Twinblade Slasher, Quillspike, Woodlurker Mimic, Cauldron Haze, Noxious Hatchling, Soul Snuffers, Wickerbough Elder, Deity of Scars and finally Necroskitter. That is clearly a lot of cards, it isn't exaustive and I'm not suggesting you use them all, but I hope you can start to see the options in the Modern format.

Every deck wants to draw cards, well from Shadowmoor there are two obvios cards that help you do that Dusk Urchins and Scarscale Ritual. More up to date now, one card I was surprised you didn't include was Obelisk Spider, which strikes me as a good fit, then again another spider also struck me as a good fit, this time from Journey into Nyx, if you want tio utilise your graveyard Nyx Weaver. The biggest baddest -1/-1 spell though came from Mirrodin Besieged Black Sun's Zenith.

This is just the start though, to give you a taste of what earlier sets might offer your deck. For now try to work out which cards you want to see in every opening hand and run four of them, then build the deck around those core cards. Good luck and enjoy brewing your deck.

Yeah, in EDH, you can only have cards that correspond with your commander's color identity. It's okay, my buddy used to put Guttural Response in his Kaalia deck but took it out because it had a green mana symbol in the card.

Black Sun's Zenith is pretty budget I think, it's insane in Hapatra. Grafted Exoskeleton is also really good but it might draw hate to that creature or artifact since infect scares people very quickly.

Some other cool cards that is most likely budget:

Necroskitter Lockjaw Snapper Putrefax Noxious Hatchling Withering Hex (you can facilitate this by having lands and other cards that cycle! Just a thought) Blight Sickle

Just some thoughts to get you started. Good Luck!

Have you have been in magic deck building limbo for awhile? Yknow that desire to build something new but dont exactly wanna net-deck nor have a very big budget? Well i have come across a card cycle that i have fallen in love with that i recommend checking out! The mimic/hatchling cycles from Eventide!

They are very easy to build around with lost of support given from Guildpact/Dissension/Return to Ravinca/Dragon Maze/Shadowmoor/Eventide sets because in these particular sets i noticed the use of the Hybrid mana in spells were quite abundant however; keep in mind that run of the mill multicolored spells also work as triggers.

I have built decks around Shorecrasher Mimic/Sturdy Hatchling and Riverfall Mimic/Shrewd Hatchling and find them both to be an absolute blast! Blood Moon is somthing i suggest as well if using /. With a bit of Digging on Gatherer searching the card lists of some of the sets i have suggested (or others) is pretty fun and easy to create a new semi-competitive yet budget friendly deck to play with in a casual environment.

Good luck out there and happy brewing!

If Noxious Hatchling got countered while i was trying to cast it would it still trigger Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons?

So if I have a Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and a Cauldron of Souls and give some snake tokens persist right before they die, would the persist ability given to them by Cauldron of Souls trigger Hapatra's ability, thus replacing all the snakes that just died?

I know that tokens can't come back to the battlefield once dead, but I also know that -1/-1 counters being placed on a creature before it is even on the battlefield triggers Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons. For example, Noxious Hatchling will make one snake when it enters the battlefield if Hapatra is in play.

The ruling on tokens given persist is as follows: "If a token with no -1/-1 counters on it has persist, the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard. However, the token will cease to exist and cant return to the battlefield."

When it says "the ability will trigger when the token is put into the graveyard..." it makes me think that that is when the -1/-1 counters are being put onto the tokens by the persist ability and would then trigger Hapatra.

Am I right in this assumption, or am I just reading way too much into the rulings? I made a deck around Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and I want to make sure I am playing it right. I really appreciate any responses that can clear this up for me. Thanks

Please link all cards in your question

Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, Noxious Hatchling

She does.

121.6. Some spells and abilities refer to counters being put on an object. This refers to putting counters on that object while its on the battlefield and also to an object thats given counters as it enters the battlefield.
