There's also Enlightened TutorGC and Worldly TutorGC. (As an aside, I'm genuinely surprised Entomb isn't a GC if GambleGC is.)

I'm not so sure if we need sideboards; in general, four-player pods are going to see some green and some blue and most likely some black. As is, hosers tend to be in the vein of Carpet of Flowers, Snake Pit, and Compost. (Okay, green just happens to be the easiest examples.)

Some thoughts:

• the deck only has 58 cards, you need 60 for it to be legal.

• the cards your deck has highlighted in red, Ohran Frostfang, Sol Ring, Blizzard and Snake Pit are all not modern-legal. You’ll either need to remove them, or build this deck for a different format (i assume you’re only playing casually so changing the format to be casual might be more appropriate).

• your mana curve is currently very high, it’s going to lead to some really slow/clumsy turns.

Or Curse of Opulence, Curse of Disturbance, Bloodvial Purveyor, Arasta of the Endless Web, Dragonlair Spider, Faerie Artisans, Howling Moon, Infested Roothold, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, Overseer of the Damned, Revel in Riches, Snake Pit, Swarm Shambler, Thorn Lieutenant, or Waste Not.

The sentiment is a lot more {B}{R}{G} than actually {W}, that's all I'm saying.

Not that I think it'll come up, but be careful when running Bad Moon because if someone drops a Darkest Hour it can really turn bad lol.

The more I look into it, Green and White have a lot of enchantment hate cards for mono-black:

• Light of Day

• Compost

• Lifeforce

• Drought

• Karma

• Nature's Wrath

• Snake Pit

Luckily I don't think anyone has any of these so they won't be a problem for a while. I also just realised that mono-black has no enchant removal at all, I think the best bet would be Eye of Doom and just hope that you and the teammate pick better permanents than your opponents. There is also Scour from Existence but you're probably wanting the game to be over by the time you have 7 mana.

It all depends on who you're using as the commander. If you're using Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons you'll really want to focus it down. Are you looking for the -1/-1 counter part of it or the 1/1 snake tokens? Hapatra can go off very quickly with snakes.

Snake tokens

Orochi Hatchery , Sosuke's Summons , Snake Pit , Serpent Generator are all good cards, even if the last one has a high cmc.

Combos

- ( Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons or Flourishing Defenses ) + Devoted Druid + ( Ivy Lane Denizen or ( Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + ( Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves )))= Infinite Mana + Infinite Deathtouch Snakes -( Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons or Flourishing Defenses ) + Cinderhaze Wretch + ( Ivy Lane Denizen or ( Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + ( Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves ))) = Infinitely Discard Opponents (during your turn) + Infinite Deathtouch Snakes - Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Woodfall Primus + Ashnod's Altar = Destroy all noncreature permanents + Infinite Mana -( Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons or Flourishing Defenses or Nest of Scarabs ) + Grim Poppet + Sculpting Steel = Infinite Tokens -( Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons or Flourishing Defenses or Nest of Scarabs ) + Blowfly Infestation = Infinite tokens entering and dying. NOTE: This needs to be used in conjunction with something else such as Blood Artist , Zulaport Cutthroat , or just another one of the cards listed above.

Love the title!

Elemental Bond and Soul of the Harvest might serve as strong card draw engines for you here since green is good at making big monsters. Runic Armasaur is also an option and pretty cheap since he’s under appreciated lol.

Blighted Woodland is one you could consider for further ramp and while some people might not like it Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip would be pretty easy to flip in your deck I think.

And if you play against a lot of blue or black deck Snake Pit is just a fun way to accumulate bodies while they play spells. Maybe even Evolutionary Leap to trade in those snakes for something more impactful.

Hopefully some of that helps! Love the choice of commander and how it’s looking so far though. Can’t wait to hear from DrkNinja how you smashed his face lol

You could always do the crazy thing and cut Craterhoof Behemoth for the snake creature you want. (Can’t remember her name haha) I know he’s good but you already have pretty high over run potential so I feel like maybe he isn’t strictly necessary when compared to sheer card advantage the other girl will get you. And I don’t know how often you play against blue or black... but have you considered Snake Pit . Probably not necessary but it’s on theme haha
