legendofa on Possible Free Dinosaurs?? Yes PLEASE

InvalidUsernamePleaseTryAgain The land base looks pretty solid overall, but I have two notes. First, as a personal preference, I like to use enough basic lands to be able to cast all essential spells; you never know when a Blood Moon or whatever is going to show up and ruin your day. So maybe 2 each basic Mountain, Forest, and Plains, and one each Island and Swamp. Second, even with the high average mana cost of the deck, 44 lands is a lot. You can probably cut 2-4 lands and still be safe on your mana. I do still recommend adding in some more 1-2 mana cards so you have some options during the first few turns.

But the important thing is that you build the deck you want to build, and this one looks like a lot of fun!

And seconding FormOverFunction, as long as Tetzimoc, Primal Death is in your hand and you have black mana, you can spread those prey counters around.

FormOverFunction that Cresting Mosasaurus is a must add to this deck! none of the cards you reccomended were on this list when you posted the comment. also hypothetically speaking, for the Tetzimoc, Primal Death, can you technically reveal it more than once from your hand to put prey counters on more than just one creature? and thank you for the reccomendations!

Cresting Mosasaurus is pretty brutal against non-Dino decks. Runic Armasaur has been a nice-to-have for me in the past, and might be worth having around. Spitting Dilophosaurus can help get your dinosaurs through for damage. Lastly, I like using Tetzimoc, Primal Death as a fun social tool, motivating people to hold their counter-magic for him while you run through other creatures you want to cast. Lots of fun! Apologies if some of those are already on your list, I’m not able to go back and look now that I’ve been typing lol

For crime commanders, Tetzimoc, Primal Death is a reliable source of targeting.

Gift of Doom, Cauldron of Souls, Tetzimoc, Primal Death and Bloodthirsty Blade are propably the best cards you could possibly play in Horobi.

Black has enough wincons. Considering Horobi's ability, doing something spell based or ETB-based seems correct. So Torment of Hailfire and/or Gray Merchant of Asphodel. Another great card that can be both wincon and ramp is Revel in Riches.

Deathblossom on A cheap deathtouch

Viridian Longbow, Glissa, the Traitor, and Triangle of War are all fantastic (and relatively cheap) upgrades for a deathtouch-focused Golgari list.

Overrun effects (Overrun, Overwhelming Stampede) are also really good win conditions due to the interaction between Trample and Deathtouch.

I know it's expensive, but see if you can trade for a Thornbite Staff.

Hornet Queen and Tetzimoc, Primal Death are under a dollar each, and both of them seem worth testing.

Fun suggestion, but I dislike how it keeps me from gaining anything from putting bounty counters on creatures. That's my biggest reason for not running it.

Just thinking here, but I think Horobi would be great as commander with Tetzimoc, Primal Death in the 99.

I guess Cauldron of Souls isn't modern legal. So how about Tetzimoc, Primal Death ?
