SaberTech on Derevi Pulls All The Wurms Out Of A Hat! | V-OJT

The only infinite combos with Wurms that I can think of off the top of my head are infinite tokens with Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Wurmcoil Engine/Symbiotic Wurm.

The combos I was originally thinking of were infinite mana using Bloom Tender/Faeburrow Elder/Sanctum Weaver + Freed from the Real/Pemmin's Aura.

You are already running 2/3 of the creatures and the auras can also be used with Arcanis the Omnipotent, Elvish Piper, and Howlpack Piper  ^Flip so they can still work with your game plan even outside of the combos.

I can respect wanting to keep a deck within a particular power range though. I think that the best games are ones where it feels like everyone is on about the same level and have a roughly equal chance at taking the win.

I've never come across premodern until today, but I love all the nostalgia and the spirit of the format! I rarely build 60cd and non-highlander anymore, so sorry if any suggestions aren't viable in this playstyle. Shield Sphere might be a nice freebie early blocker to help hold strong until the Hermit/Recurring Nightmare Squirrel-agedon goes off. Vine Dryad might also be reasonable if you're flooded with lands in hand early on, and Fallow Earth could help keep faster opponents...bogged down. One of my favorite old cards is Lure of Prey, but the payoff here isn't great. However, if you feel like putting in something like Symbiotic Wurm as another Recurring nightmare target, the lure might get things moving fast. Love this build! It's funny, cause I have a Selvala EDH deck called Crazy Cat Lady
Happy playing!

Seeing the deck laid out, a couple of things come to mind. — These cards fit with the Wurm + Token Theme . Symbiotic Wurm (not wurm tokens, but still a good boy.) Roar of the Wurm Wurmweaver Coil Second Harvest

— Treat things that generate Token Wurms as functional "creatures". That way, you don't have to slot in vanilla wurms, and can instead run a few more populate cards, or token mechanic cards.

— On Populate, easy replacement could be swapping Naturalize with Sundering Growth

— Predator's Rapport ... in your BEST case scenario, 30 life isn't anything to sneeze at. HOWEVER: if you aren't building around life-gain, it's not a great card on its own. Try Rootborn Defenses , which is super versatile on offense and on defense, and grows your army.

SueMe on Hogaak: My Favorite (Infinite) Combo Deck

Haha. Good luck on that turn one Hogaak venture of yours. The only way to do it in my list is to play a Swamp into Putrid Imp , and Lotus Petal into Stitcher's Supplier . Hmm, maybe I should put in a Dark Ritual myself....

Oona's Prowler doesn't seem too bad. I'll keep it in the back of my head in case I need another discard outlet.

Okay, okay, you've caught me. It's just... the yard's gotta look pretty.

You're right about the Hogaak delving thing... Oh all right. I'll put the Dance in.

That Altar + Wurm + Dance thing is pretty cool. I'll keep Symbiotic Wurm under the Maybeboard section, mostly because it's cool, but I don't want to run cards that are purely for the combo (even though, I guess that's what Korozda Guildmage is, but I like Korozda because it works specifically with Hogaak).

@SueMe Your reasoning is solid, thank you! It helps the theory-crafting a lot!

Rn I'm looking at all the possible ways to play Hogaak on turn 1... but it's looking like the only way through the mana-gate to play two creatures for a turn 1 Hogaak is with Lotus Petal / Dark Ritual / Chrome Mox / Mox Diamond ...or discarding Bridge from Below and playing a Phyrexian Marauder / Stonecoil Serpent / (etc) for 0. The Bridge combo seems pretty niche, but I'll definitely run Ritual (and Moxs when I'm rich).

If you need another discard outlet, there's Oona's Prowler ... if letting everyone discard isn't too much of a drawback.

Corpse Dance ... do you mean just so you can rearrange your graveyard aesthetically? (note 404.2: that is illegal xD). Delve is one of the few mechanics that actually enables Dance and lets you manipulate the top creature to resurrect whichever you like. Goes infinite with Phyrexian Altar + Symbiotic Wurm .

Hi! I am building a Mazirek deck too (Mazirek Bodybuilder)!

Like your build - insect tribal is a nice idea!

I think token producers such as Ant Queen and Beacon of Creation and of course the symbiotics - Symbiotic Elf, Symbiotic Beast and Symbiotic Wurm are too good not include.

Get rid of the 2 Greater Sandwurm. AND IF YOUR SISTER REALLY REALLY WANTS Golgari Rotwurm THEN YOU SHOULD REALLY INTRODUCE HER TO Symbiotic Wurm. Also run more swamps, since its not Modern then you really should care about deck size too much. And take out (or you can just add the cards in) 1 Reap and Sow and 1 Reclaiming Vines. One more thing since i suggested the more swamps, have you considered Icequake?

you'll probably like Symbiotic Wurm, Nantuko Husk, Scute Mob, Skylasher, and Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest since they all fit the theme, colors, and synergize well with your other cards. As for budget lands, I suggest Evolving Wilds, Jungle Hollow, Terramorphic Expanse, and Golgari Rot Farm. Good luck finding all the cards you need and welcome back to magic!
