Yo, curious, would you ever consider adding some more wurms to the deck? Like, Massacre Wurm or Wurmcoil Engine ? Or maybe a Wurm token generator like Sandwurm Convergence ?

GrimlockVIII Sandwurm Convergence used to be in there and I’ve wanted to put more wurms in over the years but they detract from the plan too much unfortunately. If they start making landfall wurms with relevant abilities then we’ll be in business.

Apologies for the late reply, but yeah wait why aren't there any landfall wurms in Magic's vast pool of cards?

In fact, are there even any wurms that care about lands to begin with?

How about Access Tunnel to get Shai-Hulud through more often? I notice you don't have much evasion for Him.

Nevermind, I have now read your previous comment on recommendations.

I love this deck though; Dune is my favourite book, and you've inspired me to make my own Dune-Brood Nephilim deck (although without the vorthos element mine will never be as cool as yours).

Can you update the cards on here with the altered versions you've posted on reddit, or is it too much bother?

Thanks for the comments and for caring enough to read my previous comments OptionalIntel. Dune is one of my favorite things too. I have intended to update the alters on here for a while but I started a new job a few months ago and just haven’t had any time. I will eventually though. Thanks for the interest!

Its me again. Typo/error?

Death's Presence: every land entering the battlefield is a Swamp and so this can be a wincon if you can loop all of the lands over and over or just a ton of card draw. Valakut, the Molten Pinacle: another damage based wincon potentially.

I think you mean Dread Presence and valakut isn't clickable, has two "n"s.

Lol yeah good catch. My Dread Presence is German so I forget it’s English name sometimes as the two English words are so close. I’ll fix it thanks.

Wow, neat deck! Is this actually EDH legal? I've never seen that commander before and when I click on it I'm shown a non-legendary creature Dune-Brood Nephilim

You can probably google previous discussions with Maro on the Nephilim and the consensus that they should’ve been legendary. Anything is EDH legal if you talk about it during Rule 0 conversations with people. I’ve never had anyone complain about me playing a terrible commander for my Vorthos meme deck.

Hey, awesome work through and through! Did you ever consider Canyon Jerboa? I feel like hat illustration might already be inspired by dune :) and it could even be a decent finisher with your token producers!

Wow no I had no idea that card existed. Definitely exactly Muad’dib. Wow. It’s too specific for me to play in this deck but I love having it as a visual reference for the deck glossary I’m building out. Thanks for the look and suggestion!

Gotta update the description with clips from the new dune movie which was actually done correctly

January 5, 2022 10:28 a.m.

…correctly is a helluva word. They’re different movies and different sorts of adaptations. I’ll agree the new one is definitely better in every respect but the old one still holds a special place in my part. I may get around to updating the description someday.
