Ruby Leech

Creature — Leech

First strike

Red spells you play cost (Red) more to play.

You might like these: Bone Miser, Avaricious Dragon, Bag of Holding, Endless Whispers, Pain Magnification, Memory Jar, Anvil of Bogardan, Ruby Leech, Andradite Leech, Steel Golem, Rust Elemental, Xathrid Demon, Vibrating Sphere, Colfenor's Plans

Also heads up Treacherous Blessing will get sacked as soon as you target it with Blim, but maybe you intend for that to happen? 3 cards for 3 is decent value after all.

Have you thought about Grid Monitor, Ruby Leech, or Geist-Fueled Scarecrow?

Would be nice that especially bad creatures would drop significantly in the V score...perhaps even negative numbers?

Perhaps an additional subjective modifier for the creature's rarity, to compensate when you drew them in a booster.

Yes, looking at you Ruby Leech and Trained Orgg.

Sounds good thank you a lot! but i really think the cards like Ruby Leech but is definitely a possible thing for the deck to take but i want to try them with the deck some before i do, I think it can completely shut someone out if its not in there color and like you said if i get it early they may not have a sake outlet and will definitely add the other cards you recommended like Forced Fruition seems amazing as well as Teferi's Puzzle Box and cards like Land Tax and Weathered Wayfarer!

You've got quite the combination of strategies going here. First, I'll start with the cards that I believe are not great.

Chromeshell Crab - CMC to high to be efficient.

Ruby Leech, etc. - These guys here are underwhelming, and until you can actually give them away - they're just harmful. Experienced players will generally have sac outlet anyway.

Godhead of Awe - not good unless you have more things like Prodigal Sorcerer or something similar to ping.

Training Grounds - This doesn't reduce zedruu's ability, and you currently only have chromeshell crab benefiting from this. Dead card.

Cards I think you might benefit from:

Laboratory Maniac - you draw a lot of cards. It's an extra win condition.

Puca's Mischief - more exchange effects.

Bazaar Trader - you'll be making plenty of tokens, why not get cards from them a bit easier.

Forced Fruition - this plus psychic vortex or pyromancer's swath is painful.

Teferi's Puzzle Box - devastating with psychosis crawler or niv on the field. It also helps you dig.

Blasphemous Act - another boardwipe in case it gets out of hand.

Insurrection - wins games.

Weathered Wayfarer and Land Tax - land tax is a bit expensive to buy for some budgets, but they're both good land fetch. Always good.

Kher Keep and Rainbow Vale

Spellbook and Reliquary Tower

Crescendo of War - with any luck you'll outproduce them with token creatures.
