Psychotrope Thallid
Creature — Fungus
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a spore counter on Psychotrope Thallid.
Remove three spore counters from Psychotrope Thallid: Put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play.
(1), Sacrifice a Saproling: Draw a card.

Slimefoot, the Stowaway
2 months ago
Phew, I got kind of exhaustive with this so apologies in advance but Slimefoot's very nostalgic for me so it's my pleasure to pass along some of my includes I didn't see mentioned already. Hope it helps and from one fungus friend to another I wish you good luck!
Dina, Soul Steeper: teams up with Slimefoot's life gain on saproling death triggers and in a pinch she can be a mana sink sac outlet.
Priest of Forgotten Gods: Easily turns saprolings into extra damage, mana and card draw, probably one of my favorite value generators.
Psychotrope Thallid: Has gotten grossly $$$ for a utility add, but undeniably one of the better small Fungus creatures alongside Utopia Mycon to draw more sap generators and life drainers into your hand while executing your gameplan.
Vitaspore Thallid: You never know when a little haste can turn the tables to start tapping abilities early or stage a surprise Overrun or well-timed Song of Freyalise, I like including this fella just for that.
Body Count: Similar to Plumb the Forbidden this instantly reloads your hand when you (or an opponent) sweep your tokens.
Dig Up: Fun on-theme turn-1 ramp that can be Cleaved into a Diabolic Tutor. Not that that's very powerful or speedy but it's nice to have a flexible multitasker in the mix.
Gruesome Fate: Easy game ender for big damage if nobody quells your saproling-growing, you can do a one-two punch casting this first, then sacrificing your tokens if you can finish off the table.
Saproling Symbiosis: A saproling-specific Second Harvest effect that doubles its count based on all creatures, not just tokens, so your nontoken life drainers will contribute to the token generation as well.
Spontaneous Generation: After you get a huge hand with Plumb the Forbidden, Body Count, Snake Umbra and Keen Sense this will basically blow up your token army to preposterous size.
Saproling Burst: Old card with clumsy wording but for Slimefoot's purposes you can basically drop it on the board, gain 7 saprolings by removing all the Fading triggers thus killing the enchantment, which in turn destroys the tokens made with it. Another great big-damage finisher or surprise value play.
Fungal Plots: Despite Golgari colors I don't think Slimefoot benefits as much from recursion as others so this lets you use your graveyard as a token cultivating ground when your nontoken creatures die from removal or board wipes, plus gives you an outlet to sacrifice those saprolings two at a time for card draw and life gain. It does a lot for a low cost so I consider it an auto-include.
Night Soil: Selective graveyard hate to fuel token production, not as multifaceted as Fungal Plots above but a good token generator to have around in longer games along with Necrogenesis.
Moldervine Reclamation: Good, generalized Golgari card advantage and life gain on death triggers. A little expensive but well worth it if games trend longer.
Agent of the Iron Throne: Just a nice life drain enchantment from the D&D set, enchantments stick to the board better than creatures too so it can be worth the slot.
Snake Umbra: Same as Keen Sense if you slap this on Slimefoot, other than the Totem protection which is excellent for Commander, you get a card for every instance of damage thus making every saproling worth 3 cards in your average 4-player pod. Unless your tokens get mass bounced or exiled AND you don't have one of your many free sac outlets you'll never run out of fuel for the engine. This also makes Thought Vessel and Reliquary Tower worth considering in case you do end up holding a pile of good cards in hand, lol.
Verdant Embrace: Rounds out the Tendershoot Dryad & Verdant Force saproling-every-upkeep silliness with an aura you can pop onto your sturdiest creature so it sticks around.
Neko-Te: Last one and a weird one but Neko-Te on Slimefoot turns every death trigger into two damage so you'll kill your opponents in half the time/sacs. Good to shave down your turn clock to victory.

I'm unsure what direction you are planning as you seem to spread out a bit. Here is my suggestion though.
Focus on aristocrats and tokens(preferably saprolings))
Token doubler Parallel Lives Second Harvest Doubling Season
Token Makers Bramble SovereignFungal Plots Tendershoot Dryad Fungal Sprouting Golgari Germination Jade Mage Sprout Swarm Saproling Symbiosis Korozda Guildmage
Free Sac outlets are essential Viscera Seer Carrion Feeder
Ramp Growing Rites of Itlimoc Flip Circle of Dreams Druid Cryptolith Rite Ashaya, Soul of the Wild Rishkar, Peema Renegade and kinda Gala Greeters
Saprolings synergies if you want Psychotrope Thallid
Toski, Bearer of Secrets maybe for additional card draw
Wincon ideas Aristocrats like Blood Artist Overwhelming Stampede Pathbreaker Ibex Yedora, Grave Gardener combo. I don't remember what the other pieces are atm. Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth + Life and Limb + way to profit off of every land dying or at least get ahead.
Setakat on Updating old Fungus deck (Casual)
3 years ago
Looking for some help/advice with updating my old Fungus deck to use in some casual 60 card wind down games on Commander Nights at my LGS. Old Fungus Deck.
Current ideas
- Convert from Selesnya to Golgari.
- Add Deathspore Thallids for early board presence and creature removal.
- Add Psychotrope Thallid for card draw
- Add another Utopia Mycon and Mycoloth to make it more likely that I'll draw them.
- Add a few Slimefoot, the Stowaway for overall synergy.
There's a lot of good creatures in this space to fill a tribe, easily enough to easily fill the 36 available slots, and then some. But I also need to keep in mind that I'll probably want some instant speed removal/protection, so there's plenty to add, which first requires me to remove plenty.
Planned wincons are either overrun with Saproling tokens, swinging with a Mycoloth enchanted with Fists of Ironwood, or pinging my opponents to death with Slimefoot via mass saproling sac.

Spores Galore

Oh man, I played Fun with Fungus back during Timespiral and I loved that deck so much. It requires a lot of build-up to really get rolling so it's not very competitive and no fun against control decks, but then again what is? When it works right and you are putting tokens down everywhere though? Hooooo boy that's fun. Here are some of the things I ran back in the day:
- Sporoloth Ancient when combined with Sporesower Thallid makes each other Fungus pop off a Saproling each turn.
- If you're looking for a cheeky removal combo Vhati il-Dal + Deathspore Thallid is fun.
- Tragic Slip is a fun alternative to Bone Shards that can deal with indestructible creatures up to 13/13. But Eaten Alive is just better.
- Life and Limb and Psychotrope Thallid are great late game cards if you want insane mana and card draw.
- Verdant Embrace is also worth considering.
I have some specific thoughts on your build too:
- Consider what you want this deck to do really well. Are you trying to generate as many saprolings as possible to overwhelm your opponent? Or to sacrifice them to the Priest/Zulaport/Slimefoot? You could even make the fungi the real beaters themselves. It seems like your deck is doing a little bit of everything right now when it could benefit from focusing on one or two.
- If you want to focus on making many saprolings, Mycoloth is extremely powerful in this deck. Just because he's a big target for removal doesn't mean you shouldn't play him at all. He costs the same as your Tendershoot Dryad and generates twice the number of Saprolings per turn for only sacrificing one when he enters the battlefield. Sacrifice two and he's giving you back four every turn. And with Heroic Intervention to protect him you should be good to go. Definitely a mainboard card. I lost my mind when this card released.
- If you're looking to pump up your saprolings more Sporecrown Thallid is a great pick and may I also suggest Thelonite Hermit.
- If you want your fungi to be real threats then Thelon of Havenwood is your guy. Get some Sporesowers out and then watch the Spore counters pile up, making your guys absolutely massive.
- Consider switching out some of your cheap-cmc cards for things with more meat on their bones. This deck could stand to be a lot more top-heavy. A couple shell-dwellers can get you to the late-game but they are terrible late-game cards. I personally ran a set of Deathspore Thallids because I like their removal effect but none of these other fungi with 1 or 2 mana cost.
- Consider some traditional mana ramp like Rampant Growth instead of Utopia Mycon if you want to get your Sporesowers out earlier. It's less vulnerable to removal and you don't have to wait to generate your first saproling to get an extra mana.
- I love Priest of the forgotten gods and Winding Constrictor in here. I think they are both super effective for this deck.
- And lastly it should be spelled "galore" ;p
Best of luck and have fun with your fungus!

You need definitely more lands.
Very rough breakdown of a Commander deck:
- 45-50 mana sources (for example: at least 36 lands and 9 ramp spells)
- 8-10 removal spells (4-5 spot removal / 4-5 mass removal)
- 8-10 draw options
- Rest is for strategy of the deck.
Some options for the deck:
Draw
Removal
Ramp
Removal and ramp
Strategy:
The deck needs more focus: Do you want a fungus / sapproling tribal deck or a +1/+1 counter deck Maybe a better commander for the deck:

This looks bbn like a fun build, my only suggestions are to help reinforce the aristocrats aspect of the deck.
Death triggers:
Sac outlets:

Halbrechtt: Hey, there's also Psychotrope Thallid! But only for decks that are specifically built around sacrificing for value.
Fair points on Deliverance though :)
And right? Spectral Sailor is honestly as exciting as a one-mana creature that doesn't cost $30 can get. 's the kind of thing that'd have gotten me ridiculously excited to build around when I was starting out, and I can see it having that role for many new players too. So, great card design, keeps magic interesting, while also being far from breaking any formats or being so good that it affects who can afford to play with it.

My Saproling EDH deck

I'm going to try and list cards that I can find on online shopping sites like TCGplayer for under $2-$3 to help with the budget.
Verdeloth the Ancient is a creature that can be at your top end for the deck that can help you flood the board with saporlings and gives them all a nice boost.
Fungal Sprouting will help populate your board with saporlings.
Nemata, Grove Guardian gives you a mana sink to make saporlings with any extra mana you have and gives you a sac outlet that will pump all of your other saporlings.
Thelon of Havenwood and Sporoloth Ancient are good with the spore counter creatures below making them produce faster.
Psychotrope Thallid will slowly produce saporlings, but this card I listed since it will let you sac saporlings for card draw.
Savage Thallid is in the same boat except his sac ability will help some of your board survive some board wipes.
Pallid Mycoderm is once again another slow rolling spore counters for saporlings, but the sac boost can help you secure a kill.
Sporecrown Thallid is a cheap creature that will give your fungus and saporlings a boost.
Thelonite Hermit can be another creature to boost your board and can be used to make some saporlings.
Part 1/2
