Sporogenesis

Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a fungus counter on target nontoken creature.

Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from play, put a 1/1 green Saproling creature token into play for each fungus counter on that creature.

When Sporogenesis leaves the battlefield, remove all fungus counters from all creatures.

Hi Nova! Thanks for the comment!

Yes, we all had a budget restriction of $45. You can see the budget version of the deck here. The deck plays really well. In my experience the fogs are imperative for this deck, especially when you get into the 1v1. With Kros you spend all game buffing your opponents creatures and when it gets down to just two players you need to be able to buy time to proliferate the infect counters with something like Contagion Clasp.

As for Paradox Haze I have a very nice hand painted alter of the card, I haven't had a home for it in a while since I took apart another deck so I just have to put it in here. Here's a link to the alternate art if you wanna check it out. There are a lot of cards in the build though that trigger on upkeep Orzhov Advokist, Aven Mimeomancer, Evolutionary Escalation, Sheltering Ancient, Sporogenesis, Crescendo of War, Kumena's Awakening, Phyrexian Swarmlord, and of course the commander Kros, Defense Contractor so I think it will be really strong.

I'm excited to see how Kros can be improved with upcoming sets and more community research.

I'd recommend Night Soil over Fungal Plots - because the exile effect is before the colon, the exile is a cost, meaning that if you go to exile a creature in a graveyard, the opponent can't tuck it, reanimate it, or return it to hand in response.

another odd one is Sporogenesis - I'm toying around with it in my current fungus / treefolk tribal deck, and seeing good results with it.

Pretty sweet fungus and saproling deck. I see you've got a couple good thallids and wondered if you had seen Thelon of Havenwood, Sporogenesis or maybe Verdant Embrace?

Thank you for taking a look, Snacrifice. I had around 117 cards in the initial list, so I spent lots of time last night just trying to make cuts. The mana base is not set yet, though. I just listed the forests/plains to get the count in there. Now, on to the suggestions....

Spore Flower fits, but it doubles Spike Weaver. If I don't have a Weaver, though, I'll go with it as a budget option, for sure. I do like Mycologist, it must be the Timeshifted version of Elvish Farmer. I may have to squeeze it in somewhere. I like Sporogenesis, but the only bad thing is if it gets removed, all, ALL of the spore counters go away. Wait, I just read that, and it says "fungus counters," not "spore counters," so that may be playable. I'll consider it. I was not aware of Selesnya Evangel, and she is strictly better than the guildmage, so in she goes. I'll see if I can find a spot for Sprout Swarm, but I'm not sure on Seed Spark.

Thank you again for taking a look. I'm not sure how good this deck will be, but it should be fun if it gets going.

You might like Spore Flower, as it's a fungus that doubles as a fog-effect.(especially with Fungal Bloom and the rest). Also Mycologist is another white spore maker for you.

I'm suprised not to see Sporogenesis or the absolutely amazing Sprout Swarm(the latter of which is one of my favorite cards printed. I prefer Selesnya Evangel over the guildmage myself.

Seed Spark is a really decent mixed used card as well.

Also didn't see Rhys the Redeemed ... If you're looking for strong board presence, that's a great one to go to for the last ability. With creature wide haste, or on battlefield abilities (Warstorm Surge), it usually becomes a game ender.

Because of Sporogenesis, I would also think of adding some sneaking saproling and card advantage creators to counter board wipes, allow card draw, life gain, sac outlets, etc:

Sporesower Thallid

Psychotrope Thallid

Pallid Mycoderm

Mycologist

Elvish Farmer

I took out Hazardous Conditions because it was just too problematic to use with Thelon on board.

Hazardous would work so much better if there only were more ways to get counters on Thelon, so he wouldn't die on it. Sporogenesis works alright, Grim Affliction and Incremental Blight are a bit counterproductive I'd say.

Sometimes it doesn't matter but sometimes you sweep out your enemies tokens just to realize that your thallid with 10 spore counters is only a 1/1 with Thelon gone. :(
