Cloudy2024 I didn't even consider Ancient Stirrings to be honest. it fits quite well, especially because I am considering another playset of a sac outlet like Spawning Pit *list* or Altar of Dementia. A bit of a shame that it does not find anything else but these artifacts and lands, but I will for sure try it, thanks!

Looks good. To upgrade your mana base, I'd get a Marsh Flats and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. If you can afford a Scrubland, you can afford those. Also for sac outlets, I'd replace Spawning Pit *list* with Woe Strider.

Hey! Thank you for the feedback. I haven't played the deck yet and am in the final stages of refining the theory of the deck. Then the missing cards are purchased and finally tested. Crop Rotation Really seems like a very important card to me as Swarmyard can decide the whole game. Spawning Pit wasn't on my radar at all. If the commander is on the battlefield, the card can win games very quickly. Likewise, I didn't know Khalni Garden yet. I'll definitely give this a try. In general, I'm still a bit in the struggle as to where I want to focus my win cons. Do I want to play Lifedrain? Do I want to make the tokens big and involve Garruk? With Bloomburrow the options have increased again, which doesn't make it easy. Which cards would you cut for Golgari Charm, Crop Rotation and Spawning Pit? Best regards

Very good deck with the new Bloomsborrow cards. I also made a deck (less expensive haha) of Chatterfang, and I would suggest you to add Spawning Pit which is really strong with drain card like Bastion of Remembrance, Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist (which are the main wincon in my deck).

I would also add that the deck needs his commander, and you should add some creature protection. You already have some, but I would suggest Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Fake Your Own Death, Golgari Charm or Lightning Greaves. You may also add Crop Rotation that can tutor Swarmyard (and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth which make your Chatterfang, Squirrel General unblockable thanks to Forestwalk).

As good token generator (but not in the tribal theme), you can look at Creakwood Liege (which buff your creatures in addition to create token), Emrakul's Evangel (similar to Nested Shambler), Growth Spasm (correct ramp but will create you a token), Khalni Garden (land that create a token !) or Tireless Provisioner (which I personally don't play, but you have some food synergies in the deck).

I don't know if you have played your deck yet (as BLB card are not released yet), but I think your deck has a bit lack of ramp/land (I may be wrong, as you have some good mana dorks and treasure creation).

I hope you'll have fun playing this deck, good luck !

Finally

Coram: Kagha, Shadow Archdruid on (red) steroids, but as she's AFAIK not too popular I feel that's not saying too much. Only on your turns. Worth noting that e.g. Hermit Druid works too.

Cayth, Famed Mechanist: "I have no idea who you are." Anyway, all your creature spells coming with a free token or even counter probably has some combo potential, even if Cloudstone Curio is out.

Azlask the Swelling Scourge: Spawning Pit works well here.

Ulalek, Fused Atrocity: Dimensional Infiltrator's time to shine!

Disa the Restless: I dare you to cast Mnemonic Betrayal

Omo, Queen of Vesuva: Not just "changeling counter" since it needs to cover both creatures and land. I kinda wish the counters had their own intrinsic rules, like flying counters. Note that land creatures don't get pseudo-changeling.

Kozilek, the Broken Reality: Does a card that you need to pay nine mana for really need even a minor drawback?

Sorin of House Markov: first extort commander!

Ral, Monsoon Mage: Not a fan of the flip damage. Can't red just have their own reliable Baral, Chief of Compliance?

Volatile Stormdrake: Nerfed Gilded Drake is still pretty good; plenty of high-value creatures at MV <=4. A sorcery-speed kill spell that pierces indestructible isn't horrible either (especially if it has a good on-death trigger.)

Flare of Fortitude: kinda wish this was Flare of Angel's Grace instead.

Trickster's Elk: I kinda hate this? IIRC, Kenrith's Transformation was a break, or at least a strong bend due to time constraints.

A well sorted deck and a clear structure +1 go on with good works

Maybe you could consider Spawning Pit *list* instead of Yahenni, Undying Partisan ?

@seshiro_of_the_orochi. High Market was in my original draft actually, but I actually had to cut it due to not having enough basics to find up with all of the fetch lands if you believe it. I have a ton of way to sacrifice creatures and I simply needed to not fail my basic check lmao. In a similar vein, Spawning Pit is, while powerful, redundant in this deck. It's another card in my original 150-ish card draft that got cut as I had too many sacrifice outlets.
