Mainboard Roster Update v.4 —Aug. 4, 2024

Thanks so much for checking in on my longest running Green passion project. If you're only just checking out the list, welcome!

If you're returning because you got an updated deck notification, I see you! Thanks for checking it out.

The main points of this update are as follows:

  1. Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider is now a part of the 99, being replaced by Fynn, the Fangbearer.

  2. The deck has had a major overhaul in construction, favoring a more laid back approach with low-to-the-ground Mana costs.

  3. Having a whole bunch of fun reintroducing functionally worse (for competitive reasons) cards back into the deck because it provides a strange consistency, and laughs watching everything get killed by poison/toxic/deathtouch.

(this includes: Smell Fear, Carnivorous Canopy, Courage in Crisis, Unnatural Restoration, etc.)

I'm saving the previous iteration of this deck in the Maybeboard in order to not lose track of a really solid concept.

Depending on play experience and how my group reacts, I may end up just getting all of these cards and having BOTH deck builds constructed.. but that remains to be seen. For now, I'm looking forward to playing with my new shell and seeing my playgroup respond.

P.s.: if you're here for the Snakes and Spiders you're a real gem, bless!

Pendelhaven efficient pump

The Seedcore efficient pump

Blinkmoth Nexus pump for inkmoth

Deserted Temple you have some good utility

Dust Bowl useful in the late game in a deck full of basic lands

Genesis strong alongside Survival

Anduril, Narsil Reforged deserves a spot. The Ozolith is another amazing card for +1+1 counters.

I think that Anduril, Narsil Reforged seems good. Any suggestion for the one card cut?

As much as I like Seedtime, it feels more cute than anything lol.

Last Laugh I agree, as much as it pains me to admit. I appreciate the feedback, and I'll make the swap-can I ask for an upvote? I'm aiming for 30 currently.

Awesome deck! I love infect in commander. This looks super fun the play, and I like the Vorthos vibes.

I know you have done a few revisions, and this might seem an obvious choice that was cut in the past. But you have several big trampling fatties that would be awesome equipped with Grafted Exoskeleton. Was that ever in your decklist?

It might be a bit slow for the build you've got, but I like that it gives you some insurance that you'll have an infect creature on board.

NoSoyYucateco thank you for the feedback! Yes, this list is now a bit more used and developed than other concepts I'm working on, and has become one of if not my very most favorite construction. Vorinclex is easily one of my favorite Magic characters. And the deck itself has grown and changed over time. Grafted Exoskeleton, while powerful and useful in a 1v1 setting where Math really is for blockers, becomes less useful in a 4 player pods when you are more subject to removal, counterspells, etc. So risking a beefy body for the instance of getting ganked, because Exo could be blown up and for the opponents it's a two-for-one in their favor.

Regardless, I appreciate that you took the time to review my list. It's a passion project, and I'd love any further discourse if you wanted to talk. :)
