lil_cheez on Best color for this type …

Hiya friend, I assume you're talking about Commander Format.

Blue and white are the colors for buying time: Propaganda, Ghostly Prison, AEtherize, Holy Day, Silence, Counterspell.

Green has "Fogs", namesake Fog, Spore Frog, etc.

If you want to slowly "burn" your opponents, red and black are your friends: Impact Tremors, Blood Artist.

I'd recommend to do a little research and be creative, but, top of my head, maybe you'd like a Kykar, Wind's Fury deck, play the "buying time" enchantments, hold countermagic and other interaction, use the tokens to burn players, etc!

this deck is a fun way to destroy your group with Spore Frog

skyland Here's what I threw together, tried to keep the froggy feel and show off as many frogs as possible while stalling and tossing artifacts into the graveyard. Mostly added mainboard interaction so Galvanic Blast can be used to shoot the opponent for 4, putting them on a short clock with Jade Avenger, Frogmite, Makeshift Munitions, and Scrapyard Salvo. Also fixed the land issue I didn't notice immediately. 16 is far too low for any variation of this deck. I added Spore Frog and Frogify for any heresy I committed by lowering the frog count

I hate the more "typical" suggestions but to maximize Stickytongue Sentinel you should definitely run Experimental Synthesizer. It's extra card selection and so much more mana efficient than Papercraft Decoy, and still fills the artifact slot for affinity. Unfortunately it means dropping multiple copies of a frog so more of a flavor choice. A more interesting suggestion (r.i.p. your mana base) is Scrapyard Salvo. Nobody will be expecting it. Sac all of your artifacts to the munitions and throw out 6 or 7 damage to face for 3 mana. Run bolts or more control elements mainboard and you have frog burn. To keep as many frogs as possible, what I see for cuts are just Prizefight and the Beamtown Beatstick (or Sticky Fingers if going for the salvo taking the flavor loss). I'm surprised there are no Spore Frog's in the deck but considering it takes a creature aggro approach they aren't as good. If you go control or burn they are 100% needed though

Three Visits Open the Way Nature's Lore are better ramp

Second Harvest, Culling Ritual, Return of the Wildspeaker, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Beseech the Mirror, Moment's Peace, Obscuring Haze, Spore Frog, Darkness, Constant Mists

I also don't really understand Fog or Spore Frog but I know you like politics so maybe they'll be fun in order to get favours from people. Loads of card draw which is nice but again I can see you running out of creatures to sac for Village Rites and Deadly Dispute type cards. You generally need to draw cards while behind and while behind you might be suffering from graveyard hate agaist your skeletons or other effects - just something to consider. Also Damnation might be something to consider switching for a different boardwioe if you are gonna put some regenerate creatures in (Toxic Deluge turns off regenerate aswell - but it's such a good card it's probably worth it)

In terms of cuts to make to make space for more dummies, Shadow in the Warp doesn't really fit much in the deck - you have so many cheap creatures that you'll probably be casting more than one a turn and it will rarely help that much - and the 2 damage is pretty insignificant compared to your other effects. I would favour Llanowar Elves type cards over Fertile Ground as again, creatures are what you want and they give you the oppurtunity to sac them if you need.

Some good cards to consider:

Victimize - brings back your Sakura-Tribe Elder type cards and is a sac outlet at the same time

Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger - just great value aswell as triggering Bhaal. A good reanimator target aswell.

Recurring Nightmares - Reanimator + sac outlet + it doesn't die? This card's great.

Dread Wanderer? Not the best but helps you out in a pinch if you have a Village Rites and nothing else

Nether Traitor - I don't know why this isn't in there already

Normally not a huge fan of general midrange but I FUCJINBG LOVE THIS LIST. so clean. so powerful. only card that sticks out to me is Spore Frog, has it been a powerhouse in testing? otherwise the list looks gorgeous great stuff

DreadKhan on Meren Reanimation

I have a lot of fun using Meren in an EDH deck, maybe some of my EHD concepts translate?

I really liked stuff like Diligent Farmhand, Dawntreader Elk, and of course Sakura-Tribe Elder are very useful. There is also Elves of Deep Shadow, which is useful if you use the 'trick' of running lots of green ramp that finds Swamps/makes black mana and run less black sources because you only need a few. A few black ramp creatures are Blood Pet and Blood Vassal, Vassal is probably worse. A card I used to use in Meren that might work here is Street Wraith, it'll eat up a bit of life, but it gives Meren something worth getting back if she has low/no XP, I settled on running enough ramp-that-dies to not worry about Meren having nothing to do. Death payoffs like Grim Haruspex to draw some cards when things die might help too.

One really funny trick that's very easy for Meren to pull off (and that's way better in 1v1) is abusing Spore Frog, this also builds up XP fwiw. I think Dawnstrider is a lot worse in 1v1 than Spore Frog, but it is also a discard outlet so I run both in EDH.

If you want another 'backup Meren', there is also Hell's Caretaker, this is a bit cheaper than Meren and can actually reanimate big stuff on it's 2nd turn (usually much sooner than Meren), but it does eat a body each time.

Another trick I liked using was Gravecrawler + any sac outlet, as long as you've got another Zombie you can just reuse your Gravecrawler, even if you don't want to splurge on something like Phyrexian Altar or Pitiless Plunderer to make it infinite, it can still be pretty good to have a recursive (and cheap) creature.
