Czarnian90 on Arachnophobia, Webs of Fear (Shelob)

I'm really glad to see your interest, and I'm happy to share my experiences and ideas here. The deck works quite well overall, so making major changes is difficult. After our last test night, I made a few adjustments and added some new cards. However, I couldn’t include everything—mostly because I honestly don’t know what to cut yet. I’ll need to play a few more games against different opponents to better identify underperforming cards.

To start, I swapped out Sentinel Spider for Skysnare Spider. Both are dear to me, but Skysnare offers better overall value. I also added Deathsprout—more removal improves defense, and fetching an extra land boosts mana ramp for my bigger spiders.

With a heavy heart, I removed Arachnus Spinner and Arachnus Web. They're fantastic for flavor, but the Web isn’t very effective, and together they take up two valuable slots.

I’ve also expanded Vraska’s influence in the deck—she now takes a place on the battlefield herself. Vraska, the Silencer brings deathtouch, shrinks the opponent’s graveyard, and generates treasures to help with ramp. As for Vraska and the slight snake theme in the deck—although I was hesitant at first, I’ve grown to like it. I can easily imagine Vraska or even Saryth working alongside spiders.

Flavor-wise, the next card might be pushing it a bit, but mechanically Greta, Sweettooth Scourge fits the deck very well. She interacts nicely with Food tokens, improves card draw, and buffs spiders.

Lastly, I added Revitalizing Repast  ^Flip. I couldn’t resist such a solid card—it protects Shelob or other key creatures, provides a buff, and can even support ramp.

To make room, I cut Aquastrand Spider and Scavenging Ooze. The Ooze is strong, but off-theme and not essential here.

As the final touch, I included The Swarmweaver. More tokens and spider buffs are always welcome. I removed Wilt in its place—a good card, but situational, even if it can replace itself.

In the waiting album I’ve got Broodspinner, Nyx Weaver, Graverobber Spider, Attendant of Vraska, Vraska's Fall, Back for More, You Look Upon the Tarrasque, Cairn Wanderer, and Graveshifter. Time will tell if any of them will find a home in the nest.

MartinEMcArthur on Would Wilt stop a combo …

I cast AWBO with both Ob and Firebrand Archer on the battlefield and my buddy casts Wilt to destroy All Will Be One. Would casting Wilt stop the combo?

Some thoughts:

• your mana curve is very high, and land count very low. You either need more lands/mana-dorks, or a much lower mana curve.

• both Wilt and Force of Vigor are sideboard cards - they have no practical place in the mainboard.

• Stompy decks typically aim to apply lots of pressure and close-out the game quickly. Colossal Majesty doesn’t help you achieve this at-all, in that it gives your opponent time to stabilise and room to breathe.

• you have almost nothing to play turn-1, meaning you’re often starting a full turn behind your opponent. This is already a very dangerous place to be- but even worse when your deck archetype is designed to be applying lots of pressure quickly. You need more turn-1 plays.

19/01/2023 changes: There have been a few rounds of changes. Removed counterspells to attempt to make the deck to make more fun to play against, sold the Mox Diamond because it's become worth a mint in the last 7 years, added more draw and refocused the deck on creature ETB based interaction instead of something like Oblivion Ring. It's a good card but I don't get the value that I could get out of a Fiend Hunter. You know where I'm going with this. I've also added more mana fixing to the land base and adjusted colours for the new balance.

Removed:

• - 1x Akroma, Angel of Wrath
• - 1x Azorius Signet
• - 1x Detention Sphere
• - 4x Forest
• - 1x Force of Will
• - 1x Isochron Scepter

• - 1x Martial Coup
• - 1x Mirrorweave
• - 1x Mox Diamond
• - 1x Oblivion Ring
• - 4x Plains
• - 1x Polymorphist's Jest
• - 1x Prototype Portal

As someone who loves infect, I have to say your list has waaaaaaaaaay too many creatures and lands. Even slower versions like mine, a Monoblack one, run around 12 creatures + 4 Inkmoth Nexus. Infect is a strong mechanic. So, in order to make it balanced, WOTC made the creatures really bad, which is why it's usually a bad idea to run this many of them. And 28 lands is asking to get mana flooded

Nevertheless, I'll give my suggestions without trying to chance to core ideia of the deck. If playing this was is how you have fun and it works for you and your friends, then I just want to help you make it better without modifying its core.

• Cut Viridian Betrayers, Contagious Nim and Cystbearer and max out on Rot Wolf. All of these cards aren't really strong but at least the wolf lets you draw cards when it kills something, meaning its usefulness grows exponentially with Hand of the Praetors on the field.

• Tangle Angler and Blightwidow are really bad. If you want a real threat for four mana, Phyrexian Vatmother is the best choice. While not a powerhouse, being a 4/5 with Infect is gonna do the same thing as the Angler's {G} ability. Trust me, no one will let 4 infect damage go through if possible.

• Cut Flensermite and Necropede for more copies of Ichorclaw Myr. The myr is a very good Infect card. It actually sees some niche competitive play, though in more budget decks.

• Don't even consider Vector Asp.

• If you're really worried about Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Solemnity, there are soooo many options in {B}{G} that easily deal with it. Below I'll post a list to a list of cards that are both under one dollar and can deal with the cards you worry about. Just copy and paste it tp have a look. Some notable ones are Natural State, Bloodchief's Thirst, Broken Bond, Eliminate, Feed the Swarm, Wilt and many more.

• There is also a huge number of lands that are dirty cheap and can be very useful in your deck. From the top of my head I cam remember Ifnir Deadlands and Hashep Oasis. You could also run some of the MDFC ones such as Vastwood Fortification  ^Flip, Khalni Ambush  ^Flip and Pelakka Predation  ^Flip. Llanowar Wastes, Skemfar Elderhall and Temple of Malady couls be very useful too.

• Lastly, Contagion Clasp is not good. Just run any other creature.

If you want me to give you suggestions more aligned with how Infect is normally played, tell me and I'll be happy to help. I just wanted to respect your deckbuilding style as much as possible with these.

bushido_man96 on First EDH deck: Naya Cheat in Updated

Slice in Twain could be replaced with any number of better removal spells that are cheaper to cast. Like Wilt. Instead of Greater Good, you could run something like Fanatical Devotion or Martyr's Cause, which can double up in protecting a creature on your board, like your commander. You can even sneak a sac outlet into the mana base with a card like High Market. Goblin Bombardment is good, too. Demonmail Hauberk is sneaky useful here too. If you are sacrificing creatures a lot, Fecundity can draw you a ton of cards.

It seems to me that you could use some more eggs in this deck. Changlings are a good way to fill that void, and having more eggs will speed things up and fill your board up faster.

Thanks for the advice BEDECK.

I probably will do that when I pick up some new cards as I didn't get many cards from the Ikoria Set and don't have any Wilt. I use Naturalize because it is one of the first green cards (my favorite color) that I used regularly and saw result from when I played with my friends which is still my primary form of engagement with MTG. This is kind of my pet deck and my second longest continuously operating deck so it's certainly not optimized but I appreciate that you took the time to suggest a simple and effective replacement that would be easy to acquire.

If you are going to run Naturalize on the maindeck, might as well switch it for Wilt. It is the same card but better. :V
