Toxrill, the Corrosive

Legendary Creature — Slug Horror

At the beginning of each end step, put a slime counter on each creature you don't control.

Creatures you don't control get -1/-1 for each slime counter on them.

Whenever a creature you don't control with a slime counter on it dies, create a 1/1 black slug creature token. (Dying is being put into the graveyard from the battlefield. Tokens enter the graveyard before they cease to exist.)

{U}{B}, Sacrifice a Slug: Draw a card.

Flarhoon13 on Aminatou's Adventures in babysitting the Gatewatch

6 months ago

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

July 19

Aminatou's Adventures in babysitting the Gatewatch loss brings the record to 14-21-1. Deepglow Skate was countered, preventing a Jace, Unraveler of Secrets' ultimate. Francois' Toxrill, the Corrosive deck won quickly via Bolas's Citadel and Sensei's Divining Top, defeating Cody's amazing Heliod, the Radiant Dawn  ^Flip deck, too. Win percentage drops to .400

Bookrook on What makes a card or …

I think that a toxic deck is anything that generally makes their deck unable to do anything their deck likes to do. So a Maha, Its Feathers Night or a Toxrill, the Corrosive deck might be toxic to a creature reliant stompy deck, but not to a spellslinger deck. Even my Beamtown Bullies deck thinks every deck that plays Leyline of the void is toxic. However, I believe that there are some cards that are generally toxic to all decks, such as grand arbiter Augustin 4, or Nekusar, the Mindrazer.

Good list, but Atraxa, Praetors' Voice I feel needs an asterisk as +1/+1 counters builds or even super friends aren't nearly as toxic to play against as infect.

Personally, I think Narset, Enlightened Master deserves a spot on the list, just free casting extra turn, and extra combat steps repeatedly.

I also think there could be a debate for Toxrill, the Corrosive on this list

I'm having a lot more fun with this deck than I thought I would. Super janky though. Far too helpless in the first couple turns. But if it hits on turn 4 or 5 it's got real juice.

Tinkered with it a bit. Virtue of Persistence and Toxrill, the Corrosive feel a bit disappointing when I hit them from an Etali or a Rigging. They're weak as control cards too so I felt like swapping in Chaotic Transformation that is also a weak control card but is better at using the underwhelming Insect or Blood tokens from Old Rutstein (and hitting a Portal to Phyrexia from transforming a blood token is a much better control payoff than Toxrill). I almost want two Transformations in the deck but I have a nagging feeling that Gix's Command is important and I don't want to cut one of the other permanents for it.

Liliana of the Veil feels a bit better as a control card. Usually I don't want to discard a card unless I have a Portal in play, but if I have the option of transforming Lili into a Nissa later I can stomach passing without using her abilities for a while if I don't want the discard.

I'm also testing out one Anzrag, the Quake-Mole. It also enables the Rigging trigger on cheap mana, and it's a unique angle of threat that can get bonus Rigging tokens enabled. Olivia, Crimson Bride likes Anzrag too. Atraxa loves getting extra attacks. But even with all that if it's stuck on its own it doesn't have an ability that gets you unstuck like a Sheoldred or a Bramble Familiar or even a Shakedown Heavy can. Could easily be not good enough. The caves work really well. Playing the Invasion of Alara  ^Flip or hard casting the Atraxa is a bit hard but still consistent if you plan out your land plays carefully. Swapped out a couple Promising Vein for the Volatile Fault as the treasures are better for the deck than the basic land, and the extra ability to kill an opponent's man land is something that the deck might as well have as an option.

But overall this deck just wants to pull off a big Rigging play and then bully the opponent from there as hard as it can. If you need more than spot control to own the combats might as well concede.

Why isn’t Toxrill, the Corrosive in this deck?

Looks fun! I've got a similar Dimir Horror/Mill deck, though mine is helmed by Captain N'ghathrod. I'm thinking about how to include Umbris, Fear Manifest in my own deck currently, since he has some fun effects and great flavor.

And you can actually substitute Everflowing Chalice in place of Mana Crypt for that infinite colorless mana combo, which you've already got in your deck. Just tap Sol Ring for {2}, cast the Chalice for {0}, then bounce the Ring, then cast it for {1}, bounce the Chalice, etc, netting you {1} colorless mana each time. No Mana Crypt required haha.

And he is a little pricey, but Toxrill, the Corrosive is a great finisher in these kinds of decks, and has a powerful synergy with Sludge Monster. With both on the field, you can turn all your opponent's non-Horror creatures into 2/2 (effectively 1/1's after the Slime counter's -1/-1 effect happens). You can effectively soft-lock your opponent's board, as very few of their creatures will stick around long enough to be impactful.

Yeah Dangerwillrobinson79, it has great replay value because you end up mixing and matching different Frankenstein combinations with The Mimeoplasm, you can win through big bruisers that you keep reanimating, or even steal games with Sidisi, Brood Tyrant after a Hermit Druid activation. There are other toolbox modes too like getting Glen Elendra Archmage out once The Mimeoplasm is on board to keep protection live, or using Stormtide Leviathan and/or Toxrill, the Corrosive to control the board. It's always different and never feels unfair so it's a ton of fun for me.

This looks awesome, great job on the flavour side.

Considering the importance of Maskwood Nexus, how about adding Beacon of Unrest as a way to recurr it.

Bolas's Citadel definitely looks like the citadel from the end of Ghostbusters. Halloween-y enough?

Toxrill, the Corrosive would be a powerful and creepy addition, while being kinda ridiculous with your commander and Nexus.
