With all permanents you should really look into running Primal Surge. Also, 2 more good options for lands here are Crystal Vein and Cephalid Coliseum.

Anyways feel free to check out my list for ideas. Feedback, upvotes, and/or ideas are appreciated. Muldrotha's Madhouse - No Infinite

I would suggest Evolving Wilds and/or Terramorphic Expanse. Neither is half bad in 3 colors anyway, and with Muldrotha out theyre great. Dream Halls is insane, especially with any way to draw cards. Casting Protean Hulk multiple times seems good, and Seal of Doom, Seal of Removal, and Executioner's Capsule all become repeatable removal once you cast Muldrotha.

@ Last_Laugh, I don't have a way to get Primal Surge back from the yard and I'm not running very many tutors otherwise I would totally run it (especially if I was trying to make this competitive and oppressive). Both those land are good choices but I am running others in their place because I am trying to keep a decent number of basics for Sakura-Tribe Elder and Solemn Simulacrum to fetch repeatedly. To be a little more specific cards like Sequestered Stash and Ipnu Rivulet basically say "draw four/five cards" if Muldrotha is out and Geier Reach Sanitarium lets me trigger a dredge which I have found to be super helpful.

@ pyromaniac53, those lands just did't make the cut (see above). Dream Halls, holy crap I never even thought of using it. It would be absolutely bonkers! However the fact that my opponents would be able to take advantage of it makes me very wary of the card. I may test it out and see if it's worth dropping the $25 to snag one up (might also toss one in my Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck too since that would just be unfair!). Thanks for the Hulk suggestion, I run it in Meren so may as well put it in here. Seal of Doom and Seal of Removal were both in here but I always found myself recasting 'better' enchantments and using my Shriekmaw or something else to do the job of the seals. I decided to add Executioner's Capsule back in because I added Trinket Mage and he can fetch up the capsule or more importantly Amulet of Vigor to go with my awesomely stupid Hulk chain in the deck description.

I appreciate your comments, don't forget to +1 if you like the deck!

On the note of nothing to get stuff back from your yard... why no Eternal Witness?

Lotus Vale. And I would at least look at anything with a cumulative upkeep that would normally not be worth playing but if you never have to pay upkeep...

Elephant Grass and Glacial Chasm at least.

Awesome deck!!! A little more unique than many of the other Muldrotha lists I've seen. How do you feel about Kiora, the Crashing Wave?

May 13, 2018 12:15 p.m.

@Last_Laugh - Eternal Witness seems like a waste if my commander is out. I know it's good in here but not sure if it's better than what I already have in here. What would you remove for it, and how would you primarily use it?

@carpecanum - I keep putting Elephant Grass in and then removing it for other stuff. I just feel like I'd rather cast a different enchantment from my grave since I can only cast 1 per turn. It also doesn't slow down my opponents very much since they usually just pay the and smash face. Glacial Chasm is a great card but since I don't want to keep sac'ing a land each turn I play it, I would just pay the upkeep and that's not something I want to do in this deck. I also am more of an offensive player so it doesn't quite fit my style.

@bradtheimpaler13 - I bought a Kiora, the Crashing Wave for this deck because I thought it was the other one and so I took it outand put the other Kiora in but taking a second look, drawing a card and playing an extra land 2 times for mana doesn't suck so I'll giver her another chance. Thanks!

Don't forget to +1 if you like the deck! I appreciate all your comments and suggestions! Keep 'em coming!

Ancestral Knowledge powerful ability when you don't have to keep playing upkeep. Set library up for self-mill, help dig to what you need.

Deadbridge Chant - Self Mills 10 AKA Draws 10 and give you back stuff for free

Dreamborn Muse - Might as well read "at beginning of upkeep double your hand size"

I would remove: Nyx Weaver, Body Snatcher, Aid from the Cowl, or Overeager Apprentice

May 15, 2018 1:18 p.m.

@Force_of_Willb - Ancestral Knowledge will shuffle the library when it leaves so you need to pay the upkeep for a turn or two at least. it's also a bit pricey.

Deadbridge Chant is one of my favorite cards and I had it in here when I first built the deck but it never stuck around for more than the turn I cast it. I might find a spot for it but at the moment I don't think there are any cards in here that are less useful.

Dreamborn Muse is great and I put in Forgotten Creation which is similar but I ended up taking it out because in my playgroup if the card doesn't do something the turn it is cast or has an ability that can be activated at instant speed then it is very likely it will get removed before you get any use from it. Also muse can potentially help my opponents or make them hate me and target me more than usual.

I really appreciate you input on what to remove since that is always the hardest thing to decide when I get great suggestions.

Nyx Weaver is a card that is on the fence. I have him in currently because he is basically a draw 2 additional cards each turn but the main reason is that I can count him as an enchantment or creature for Muldrotha's ability.

Body Snatcher is part of the Hulk chain so he has to stay.

Aid from the Cowl is something I just added in but have not yet got to try it out. It seems promising since it will trigger at the end of the turn I cast it so I'm excited to see it play out and it costs less than Deadbridge Chant and doesn't rely on my graveyard. In my playgroup my yard usually gets exiled a few times each game so Cowl can still be an advantage without my yard.

Overeager Apprentice is an all star in a few of my other decks and I recently added him in here to see if he works out. I might remove him after some testing.

Other cards that I'm not 100% sure on are Spellskite and Mishra's Bauble. I may remove one to add in Tezzeret the Seeker since he can tutor any of the artifacts in the deck the turn he is cast (with the exception of Mindslaver).

Thanks for the comment! Don't for get to +1 if you like the deck!

So what is the hulk chain you had mentioned previously? Just wondering But other than that the deck looks ablsolutely amazing and definitely upvoting this masterpiece.

Nvm lol i see now

Omg lol that lime green is headache inducing...

Anyways, have you ever tried Bear Umbra here? It untaps on attack which is relevant, protects a key creature like Muldrotha, and the ability to further your own gameplan while holding up plenty of mana for answers can't be overstated.

You're also missing 2 of your best pieces of spot removal here. Song of the Dryads and Imprisoned in the Moon are super versatile, are amazing against decks that're reliant on their commander, and if they remove it just recast it, enchantments are usually your least contested permanent type for Muldrotha recast.

Millikin over Deranged Assistant ?
Millikin counts for an artifact and would work with any color. All you are losing is 1 power.

Sorry forgot about Displacer Kitten since it allows you to bounce Muldrotha and replay more stuff from your graveyard since it's a 'new' Muldrotha. Plus any instant in your hand becomes a way to protect Muldrotha. Lastly infinte mana combo with Lotus Petal which is already in your deck.
