Took out Tornado Elemental in favour of a little graveyard recursion in the form of Deadwood Treefolk. Being a 6 mana card helps a bit more with tutoring, and is a much better fit with MImic Vat.

Hi there,

We love the flavour of this deck and we also really like the fact that you've kept its necessary budget pretty low. So definitely, a +1 from us!

There are three pointers we would like to give you:

  1. Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons: This card would be absolutely amazing in this deck. She interacts so well with Volrath, not to mention the other cards you're using to hand out -1/-1 counters.

  2. Contagion Clasp/Contagion Engine: your deck does not use the dishing out of -1/-1 counters as its primary strategy, but it can be a very nice back-up way of controlling the board. Spells that destroy are exile can be countered; countering the distribution of -1/-1 counters is much, much harder. Also, with the aforementioned Hapatra in your deck, this would just be brutal.

  3. Panharmonicon: a deck that uses so many ETB effects benefits greatly from a card like this. A similar argument could be made for including Yarok, the Desecrated. These cards are relatively expensive though, so we're not sure whether this will fit what you had in mind for the deck's budget.

Keep up the nice brews; this is really great!

With regards,

Mrs. and Mr. NV_1980

Thanks NV_1980 for the feedback, I wasn't sure about -1/-1 counters as it started taking the deck in a whole new area (some of it infect, and I don't like that in a casual deck). I may toy around with the idea, as I like the Persist mechanics, and the free 1/1 snakes from Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons would always be handy. The main problem is every new card that I put in, takes another card out :P

Panharmonicon and Yarok, the Desecrated are a bit above my budget, but would indeed be fine additions to the deck.
