Vizier of Remedies

Creature — Human Cleric

If one or more -1/-1 counters would be put on a creature you control, that many -1/-1 counters minus one are put on it instead.

Are you intending Amalia Benavides Aguirre as the commander? If so, what's your milling plan?

Viscera Seer + Putrid Goblin + Blood Artist + Vizier of Remedies fits in her color identity. Sac Goblin to Seer. (The free sac is the important part, the scry is just a bonus.) Artist drains an opponent's life. Goblin persists back to the battlefield, but Vizier blocks the -1/-1 counter. Then you can start the cycle over for infinite drain.

@Bookrook maybe he’s thinking of Vizier of Remedies, that’s the only thing I can think of.

Most decks which run Devoted Druid as part of a combo run something like Vizier of Remedies. While not Pauper legal, you’d need some type of recursive effect like that in order to turn the Druid into anything more than a worse Llanowar Elves. Unfortunately Sigil of the Nayan Gods just won’t do that, not without some other infinite-creature making combo.

What you could do is splash for Midnight Guard. That would combo into Presence of Gond for infinite creatures. But at that point, Devoted Druid + Sigil of the Nayan Gods is redundant.

The problem arises when you mentioned you’d be facing Tier 1-3 decks at your local LGS. These combos are well known, and any player worth his salt would be packing disruption to get rid of either combo piece. Without them, the deck isn’t powerful enough to stand on its own in any meaningful way.

Also, I had a Greater Tanuki in hand to apply beats plus Moon-Blessed Cleric and Vizier of Remedies, which had been exiled by John's Oblivion Ring cognate.

Thanks, capwner! It is such a really fun combo, and adds such a layer of depth for the deck. It's just been a Collected Company deck for years, putting as many mini combos inside of it that worked.

It's funny that you mention Fury, because that was one of the pivotal cards that made me have to update and modernize the deck. It focused the deck on just the two card, most efficient combos, but still had to hope for the right drops against the right deck.

Agatha's Soul Cauldron was the final piece of the puzzle. It finally allows the deck to play through hate and interruption, and it adds so much more cohesion to the deck. My version of the deck adds in the Kitchen Finks/Viscera Seer combo, and the Devoted Druid/Vizier of Remedies combo, instead of focusing on the lifegain theme of other Heliod, Sun-Crowned decks. The addition of Glittering Wish makes it so much more consistent as a combo deck as well.

This new version of the deck I'm playing with has Sanctum Prelate as a backup almost playset to help the deck keep moving. Still messing with the numbers of each card, and seeing what I like.

Planning on writing a brand new deck description soon. But thanks for the kind words, and I definitely suggest playtesting it a bit yourself, the deck has been so much fun! :D

Most definitely! That deck has already made a few major tournament showings again recently. The deck also uses Stoneforge Mystic, to grab Luxior, Giada's Gift, and Viridian Longbow. I'm sure there's a few more key two drops that benefit as well, besides just Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies. The deck also happens to run both Extraction Specialist and Postmortem Lunge, so Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler already slots right in! I'm excited to see that deck do as well as it possibly can :D

Playtested it a few times and found a cool combo:

Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies for infinite Green mana, which can easily be backed up by anything that allows card draw.

Also helps when you draw Springbloom Druid to go get some Plains to help you cast more creatures on later turns since you basically don't need your Forest anymore.

Good build!

wallisface on Squadron Hawk in Modern?

A loooong time ago I had a deck that utilised Squadron Hawk to ramp up counters on Quest for the Holy Relic. The wincon was then to use that Relic to slap Worldslayer on one of the birds, and with the help of something like Selfless Spirit, keep my own creatures alive while wiping everything else, and edge out a win through a few turns of combat damage before the opponent can find lands and rebuild a board.

That deck also had the old infinite mana combo with Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies, with Duskwatch Recruiter  Flip then acting as a solid game piece to further both potential wincons. The deck would often go infinite and win on turn 3, or else worldslay everything turn 4.

Saying all this, the meta has shifted considerably since I was running this deck, and i’m not sure such a combo brew would be viable in such a high-interaction meta these days. But I can say that, at the time, Squadron Hawk was great for all of fueling the combo, buying me time with expendable blockers, and thinning the deck in a way that felt meaningful.
