Hi

Looks like a fun deck.

Check out Spiky Proliferation for inspiration. Though this deck focuses more on +1/+1 counters, it features Serrated Arrows, which is good with lots af proliferation.

Curfew doesn't target. Curse of Chains is technically multicolored. But my favorite is Serrated Arrows, though obviously not the best option.

Halo Fountain: Heh, {UNTAP} by proxy? Anyway, two mana to draw one card per turn isn't super efficient, but beggars can't be choosers, and the versatility of being able to make a token or even win the game makes it a pretty good package. If you can get trough the color weight of the activated abilities, I can see this being interesting in boros with red's cheap "temporary tokens", e.g. Elemental Mastery

Urabrask: Prosper is trying hard not to laugh. 5 mana is a bit steep too

Ob: Finally rakdos eh? Though self-copying seems a bit weird. Without the Demon tribal part, it could have easily been a Tibalt card.

Cut of the Profits: Yeah this art is pretty sick. I have a soft spot for black cards flavored around gold

Vivien: Feels like kind of a black card with all the stuff that's going into your graveyard but okay

Rumor Gatherer: So why isn't this a Druid? Is the flavor that she's shrunk the big pets?? So weird

An Offer You Can't Refuse: New EDH staple. Two treasures is worth it to stop that key hose/bomb.

Incriminiate: Make Cannibalize Standard-legal you cowards!

Courier's Briefcase: Hm, wonder if there'll be a cycle of rainbow mana cards? Although I can see the reasoning of mono-green being able to produce other colors on its own. Get four of these and you can use the Treasure mana from three of them to generate 60% of the colors needed to draw three from the remaining one, yay...

Kitt Kanto: How is a "Mayhem Diva" at all white? Anyway, IDK if I can make room for this in my Marisi deck, pretty expensive and kind of in tension since untapped creatures could have probably just attacked instead

Anhelo: He's clever enough to not have enough power to be casualty-fuel himself

Kamiz: Yeah I have a hard time getting a sense of direction for this. Voltron with a bit more medium-big creatures?

Perrie: Permanents, not creatures. Dig trough your collection for weirdos like Coral Reef and Serrated Arrows

Ziatora: Sorry, Gleeock

Sorry for taking some time to answer.

I'm kinda used to TappedOut and even paid to be an upgraded user. It's a bit outdated compared to some newer sites but I'm quite fond of it.

I remember you saying in one episode that you thought Serrated Arrows saw some competitive play. In case you want to tell these curiosities to the audience, you can click on the card, scroll down then click on "search [card name] in mtgTop8" and it'll show you every deck that topped an event with that card. This isn't that useful but it can be fun to show, sometimes, a card that looks bad but actually saw some play.

If you want, I have some custom tokens made. I know right now you guys haven't been using a lot of tokens but if you think it could spice things up for the audience just tell me and I'll see if I already have one made. The only problem now is I don't have a computer, so I can't make new tokens, which means I can't make Rukh token :(((((

I almost want to recommend Leviathan even though it is just so trash...nice deck name. Thoughts on something like Serrated Arrows. Could really hit the nail on the head with options like Basalt Monolith, Crystal Rod, Null Rod, Rod of Absorption, Detection Tower, or Phyrexian Tower.

Other random thoughts: Thoughtcast and Thought Monitor are good with your artifacts. Tainted Strike can give you a surprise win. Rogue's Passage lets you sneak damage through. Serrated Arrows is great with proliferate. Triumph of the Hordes is pricey, but a good finisher. Black Sun's Zenith is a great, versatile board wipe, and with proliferate X=1 means your creatures survive while you proliferate theirs out of existence.

What about Serrated Arrows and Trigon of Corruption?

I like the deck and wg +1/+1 counters with sacrifice is nice.

Weapon Rack and Thrive for getting +1/+1 counters on your creatures. Serrated Arrows is a bit of a stretch, but with proliferate, it could help.

Cards with escape like Loathsome Chimera, Voracious Typhon, and Sentinel's Eyes can be useful for you strategy, as they allow late-game recursion that also has +1/+1 counters on the creatures. Travel Preparations also can spread around +1/+1 counters.

Ivy Elemental, Apex Hawks, and Gnarlid Colony are nice creatures that can come in with +1/+1 counters, as well as being flexible in the early and late game.

Antler Skulkin can help with creature protection.
