Polukranos, Unchained

Legendary Creature — Zombie Hydra

Polukranos enters the battlefield with six +1/+1 counters on it. It escapes with twelve +1/+1 counters on it instead.

If damage would be dealt to Polukranos while it has a +1/+1 counter on it, prevent that damage and remove that many +1/+1 counters on it.

: Polukranos fights another target creature.

Escape—, Exile six other cards from your graveyard. (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its escape cost.)

Nice deck! Oran-Rief Ooze , Oran-Rief, the Vastwood and Polukranos, Unchained might be a good fit here.

Thought's on removal, possibly Abrupt Decay or Assassin's Trophy . For creatures consider Scavenging Ooze , Polukranos, Unchained and Rotting Regisaur .

gumbogogo on Offspring's Revenge

Yeah I wanted to build a shell that could work even without drawing Offspring's Revenge , and could consistently hit even if it's just one of the main shell creatures. I'm torn between filling the deck with toolbox etb effects like with Demon's Disciple and Burning-Rune Demon or beefy hits like Oathsworn Knight and Polukranos, Unchained . I think it's gonna need a bunch of playtesting with a lot of different builds before it feels right.

Sounds like fun TonyRik, we have a lot of zombies to play around with this cycle! Thanks for suggesting Polukranos, Unchained, I’ve considered running 1 or 2, but I’m not sure if the mana base can support it. I’ll keep fiddling with it.

meME12, hope your games on Arena go well, your deck looks interesting!

It looks like your main goal is to stick a creature and then buff it as much as possible with +1/+1 counters. To improve the strength and consistency of the deck, I recommend cutting anything that isn't working towards that end (unless it's very efficient.) I'd identify those cards as Druid's Deliverance, Sundering Growth, Bountiful Harvest, Bump in the Night, Lair Delve, Blood Reckoning, Tablet of the Guilds, Primal Clay, Trestle Troll, and maybe Phylactery Lich (depending on how many artifacts you end up running in the end.) I'd also suggest swapping out Intimidation to stay modern legal, possibly with something like Bellowing Tanglewurm if you really really want the evasion. Your strongest cards that I'd want additional copies of are Abrupt Decay (budget permitting), Ring of Xathrid, Undying Evil, Slitherhead, and Death's Presence (assuming your meta is slow enough to run it.) It also looks like Tormented Soul is a critical piece that benefits the most from growing big, so having redundancy for it seems like a good idea. Changeling Outcast, Gingerbrute, and Silhana Ledgewalker could all be fine targets. For +1/+1 synergy, you have scavenge staples like Varolz, the Scar-Striped, Corpsejack Menace, and Lotleth Troll along with more general options like Polukranos, Unchained, Winding Constrictor, Hardened Scales, Hydra's Growth, Rishkar, Peema Renegade, Scavenging Ooze (which is particularly good in a sideboard), Drana, Liberator of Malakir, Hunger of the Howlpack, Forced Adaptation, and Llanowar Reborn. Finally, some cards I've had success with in graveyard-focused decks include Tragic Slip, Satyr Wayfinder, Grisly Salvage, Splinterfright, and Fauna Shaman. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck with your build!

Druidey on Edited Stomp Stomp Correctly?

6 months ago

I am a new player to MTG Arena and MTG in general, I have found some success with the standard deck Stomp Stomp.

I had a few legendries I thought I could add to improve the deck further and add some more fun cards to play.

Full deck https://mtgazone.com/deck/stomp-stomp-new-player-experience/

The cards I removed were...

1 Dreamstalker Manticore 1 Hornbash Mentor 1 Warden of the Chained

The cards I added were....

Garruk, Unleashed Polukranos, Unchained Nissa of Shadowed Boughs

I have had some success with Garruk as he adds creatures / adds power to creatures which suits a deck already designed to add power to creatures. Also had success with Polkuranos linking up with Terror of the Peaks.

Questions - Do these cards suit the deck in the long term? and could there be any drawbacks?

Appreciate this could be subjective but just want to make sure I have not completely destroyed the deck power/harmony.

Thanks for any help in advance.
