Reef Worm

Creature — Worm

When this dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, tokens are put into the graveyard before they cease to exist), create a 3/3 blue Fish creature token with "When this creature dies, create a 6/6 blue Whale creature token with 'When this creature dies, create a 9/9 blue Kraken creature.'"

TypicalTimmy on Luma and the Coil Inferno

Grubbernaut, honestly I like your idea of making Luma less word-soupy, but I am going off of precedent where tokens with text are created with the source also having that text. For example, look at Reef Worm, Nesting Dragon and Vraska the Unseen.

If I could get away with merely saying "Create a red X/X Snake Elemental legendary creature token named Coil Inferno." and leave it at that, I would. Then, with the extra room, I'd also say:

• Elemental creatures you control have haste.

Then Coil Inferno is much more powerful, and Luma holds tribal synergy.

RambIe on What are the best defensive …

Royal Assassin not a blocker but stops fatty from swinging
Every creature is an amazing blocker when you have Vigor on the battle field
Also Tuktuk the Explorer , and Reef Worm makes them think twice
my favorite is AEther Membrane I know you said no defender but it's still worth mentioning

Well, you're in that $150 zone right now, so you're doing good.

Try to cut down the number of 1x cards and add more copies of your key cards. For example, switching Vapor Snag for another Azorius Charm makes it more likely you'll draw the Charm. The Charm offers more utility and versatility, and the bounce effect is similar enough that you're not losing too much. That 1 extra damage will be overshadowed by your attackers. Similarly, Reef Worm makes a big token, but it takes a while to get there. Also, if you expect to see a lot, that 9/9 token probably has a very short lifespan. Switch Reef Worm out for maybe another Serra Angel .

Dispel has a very low mana cost, but unless you see instants all day every day, it has fairly limited utility. Look at Negate as a potential replacement, and move Dispel to the sideboard.

Another, somewhat higher-budget suggestion, if you want to be really annoying, is Isochron Scepter . If you imprint a Silence or Azorius Charm on it, you can cast that spell each turn, locking your opponent out or finding exactly the effect you need. Any of your other 1- or 2-cost instants would also work well.(Disclaimer: This isn't the most fun to play against, so do this only if you're willing to basically shut down a game: Isochron Scepter + Silence basically says "Target player can't cast spells for the rest of the game." If your friend is okay with this, go for it.)

KBK7101 I made the choice to take out Mycoloth for Spawning Kraken . I figured I should at least try to make tokens that are beefier.

TheMeadiator I also took out Chasm Skulker for Reef Worm , for basically the same reason.

I love this! So glad to see Reef Worm and Arasta of the Endless Web getting some love. You've covered your bases pretty well for token generators, but if you have the extra cash Doubling Season or Parallel Lives would be a great addition. I don't normally suggest expensive cards, but they have major utility in this deck.

Some other things you might consider are Repudiate / Replicate for a quick hit (in place of Spitting Image maybe?), or Double Major to double-down on a single cast while it's on the stack. Honestly, Mystic Reflection would be great. It can turn each of the tokens coming in on a turn into copies of a big dude instead of 1/1s for example. Or another token generator already out and therefore get multiple triggers later.

Whatever you choose, this deck looks like fun. Good job!

Might I suggest Reef Worm for some hilarious token doubling shenanigans? 2 Fish? 4 Whales?? 8 KRAKENS??? Yes please.

Doesn't necessarily fit the snek theme, but could be really fun!

Thank you for the awesome suggestions griffstick. I really like Wolfcaller's Howl and Fresh Meat . Similarly, I have a copy of Caller of the Claw , but kept it on my maybe board since it only checks for non-token. Soul Foundry is cool too, kinda like a more proactive Mimic Vat .

I'm going to keep play-testing to see what feels most lackluster at my current 4cmc spots. I've been on the fence about Sakashima's Will and Reef Worm , but don't want to write them off just yet.

I think I tend to avoid cards that rely too much on checking for greatest power on my board. In my play-testing, most of my creatures are usually 1-3 power, until I start getting into the 6cmc stuff like Avenger of Zendikar and the like.
