Progenitor Mimic

Creature — Shapeshifter

You may have Progenitor Mimic enter the battlefield as a copy of any creature on the battlefield except it gains "At the beginning of your upkeep, if this creature isn't a token, create a token that's a copy of this creature."

Hey there Fish Plissken! Just wanted to say that I like how creative and fun this deck is. You have some cool, unusual picks in here like Benefactor's Draught, The Millennium Calendar, and just your enchantments/utility in general.

I also love card draw a lot in general, so just a couple ideas since this has some similarities with a Damia deck of mine..

I definitely recommend considering maybe some creatures like Horizon Chimera, Overbeing of Myth and Tishana, Voice of Thunder if you haven't considered them already.

And then Siege Behemoth and Psychosis Crawler have always been fun ways for me to get a lot of damage in.

And then I feel like Progenitor Mimic goes in any G/U deck really well and cool stuff always seems to happen with him. It's always fun to copy someone's Rune-Scarred Demon or something xD

But yeah! Just wanted to say that I love how you made this deck fun and creative but also made it pretty competitive as well.

Carry on :)

Limitless feast

Legendary sorcery

Recursion 3

Create a food token

When a void counter is removed off this card while it is exile, create a copy of it with three void counters and a feast counter. If this card has a feast counter on it, the copy gets an additional feast counter. If this card has 2 feast counters on it, this ability doesn’t activate.

Wordy. I love the cards that create copies of themself, with the ability that makes the copy, like Scute Swarm, this card, Compy Swarm and Progenitor Mimic. So let’s see one of those

Love any Brenard deck! I went with a mote token route, but I'd definitely recommend more cards with populate to double your tokens/Splicers/lords, etc.

Sundering Growth and Nesting Dovehawk come to mind.

I missed Organic Extinction in my build good pick!

If you wanna check out my deck Can't Catch Me, I'm the GingerBant Man! [Primer] there may be some fun includes you missed.

Oh clones would work well with tribal as well like Progenitor Mimic etc.

Also, since you're running green you have better mana options than things like Azorius Signet. With Brenard creature ramp like Sakura-Tribe Elder is fun too.

Progenitor Mimic, Mimic Vat or Helm of the Host would give you more Oozes to sac.

I would trade out the Wayfarer's Bauble for Kodama's Reach. Since you have only one (or maybe zero) artifacts, you should have at least one Artifact wipe spell.

Mind if I ask how you got Atarka to say "thick"?

As for Miirym, what I do is go for a three-pronged approach: Ramp (excluded, all decks should have ramp), ETB effects, draw and doubling or copying effects.

Miirym at her core is a value-driven Commander. You want each spell to have weight and merit. That weight might not be immediately accessible, but your ultimate goal should be to overwhelm and overpower. Yes, you are prone to wraths, rifts, counterspells, prisons, taxes, etc but that is really a problem that belies all decks, indeed all formats. Though, some to a lesser degree. Regardless, the key here is saturation.

For example, Miirym will create a token copy of any dragon that enters the battlefield under your control, yes? Therefore, spells and permanents that take advantage of this will reign supreme. I see you have Dragon Tempest and Warstorm Surge, so you're off to a good start. As do you have Garruk's Uprising and Temur Ascendancy.

So fundamentally you already understand the core concepts of Miirym.

I see you also have Adrix and Niv and Reflections. These are a good start. The issue here is that just 2 cards out of the whole deck are going to largely be unseen throughout multiple games. You want consistency. Cards such as Parallel Lives or Doubling Season work really well, as does Progenitor Mimic.

My decks also run a much more dense population of ramp in the way of mana rocks, also. Drawing cards does no good if you can't cast them. Speaking of which, Sneak Attack doesn't require you to cast the dragon, but she will still copy it. That's something to consider.

A really good closer is Furnace of Wrath or anything that can double your damage. I see you have Atarka, World Render which is a great addition especially in and against pronounced aerial combat scenarios. However, being able to stack doubling damage is also a wonderful thing.

My particular deck relies heavily on ETB damage effects, which can be used to clear the way for assaults. Since my Dragons have numerous ways to garner haste, it means that I can decimate threats, then attack my opponent's life points directly - oops, wrong tcg

A wonderful addition is Frontier Siege for this very reason. While it does risk my own dragon dying, it also is wonderful removal in general. Notice that it is a "may" ability, which means I do not have to allow my dragon to die to a much larger threat. Then again, if Miirym is in play, I'm effectively getting 2 spot-removals for the price of one. Alternatively, if I am against a faster opponent or a combo-centric deck, I can always choose Khans and opt to add instead.

A wonderful addition to the deck, I see you have Savage Ventmaw and Klauth, Unrivaled Ancient is Old Gnawbone. Don't be afraid to add more legendary dragons to your list, because the clone copies that Miirym make are specifically listed as non-legendary, which I feel is where her true power comes from.

Speaking of which, one supremely strong utility creature in the deck is Hellkite Tyrant. Since EDH players make large use of artifacts, but artifact removal is scarce, you can take full advantage of this and steal their toys right out from under their noses. You also gain the ability, with haste, to strip the resources of two opponents at once! And if you make an additional token copy, you can hit all three and be miles ahead of the competition.

Just realize that a well-oiled Miirym deck will make you public enemy #1. Expect some archenemy matches in your near future. And don't be surprised when players hold grudges and retaliations against you. I once played against a guy who singularly focused on me for an entire game, despite me doing literally nothing because I had no ramp and wasn't drawing into lands. But that's a story for another day.

To MonsterMacRat,

Thanks! As for Progenitor Mimic, it was in the first list. However, Clones has the problem of being a "feel bad" card if there is nothing valuable to clone. I've found myself cuttting clones for more impactful cards. Just like Followed Footsteps, Mimic is one of the better clones that can get out of hand. However, I'm not sure if this is what I want to be doing at . Progenitor Mimic is in the conversation, though.
