A Mono-Green ({G}) shell revolving around Venerated Rotpriest.

Concept

An Infatuation Turned Toxic

This shell is Mono-Green ({G}) comprised solely as a focus on Venerated Rotpriest, and winning the game by self-targeting with perfect green spells.

Post shift, this deck is a Simic ({U}{G}) colored combo deck in the Modern Format.

Construction

The deck will focus on core fundamentals of deck construction in order to win: Draw more cards, play more spells, have more bodies.

Protection

• Tamiyo's Safekeeping is literally acting as a placeholder until Legolas's Quick Reflexes is registered in the database.

• Royal Treatment is a protection for turn that makes it harder to hit our Priest at a later time.

(after changing this list to Modern formatting, we gained a lot of access through our second color, blue.)

• March of Swirling Mist operates as a perfect Blue Burgeoning Life; you phase out each target which ideally would be everything you target normally, but also maybe Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief.

Draw Power

• Audacity serves to provide Trample on entry, a poison counter, and then to follow some Draw upon leaving the battlefield.

• Bequeathal functions more towards all gas, no brakes; we receive two draws if it hits the Grave.

• Explore holds a similar spot in that we provide some more resources and net an extra draw.

(Explore ended up making the list in Modern! Who'd have thought?)

• Prologue to Phyresis is hands down the best choice for Draw and relevance to concept, considering that we'll need to reliably refill our hand and net more poison counters.

Tutor and Fetch

• March of Burgeoning Life is our core cast member because we go fetch another priest to keep the gravy train rolling.

• Green Sun's Zenith works wonderfully because we can fetch another priest or pull a Dryad Arbor onto the field.

• Natural Order in tandem with a Dryad Arbor is a great way to secure a priest to the field.

Vintage Prowess

• Oath of Druids literally translates in my deck to go get another priest.

• Fastbond is a typical Vintage way to pump a lot of value out really fast.

• Manabond is kinda lackluster here and will likely be replaced with Mox Emerald.

• Channel facilitates dumping my life total into playing out my hand.

(this tab isn't relevant any longer but the Vintage parts are still fun to remember in case something really wild gets printed for such a concept)

Sideboard

My sideboard will require a lot of finesse to make sure I don't lose easy matchups against things like Burn, Control, Rocks, etc.

• Force of Vigor is our catch all artifact problem solver. It serves a perfect function.

• Endurance much like the Force, is a free cast solution to some Reanimator issues.

• Noxious Revival will allow us to fetch graveyard friends when we are over exerted. It's not a steep cost.

• Tamiyo's Safekeeping might actually be a great way to Stifle Burn match ups, but that remains to be seen.

(the sideboard didnt shift much when jumping to Modern other than picking up some spare parts Blue pieces and counter capabilities, such as Filter Out.)

Demanding a Seat on the Council

This deck will now be a monstrosity crafted for modern, in Simic ({U}{G}) colors.

I look forward to trying to snap this deck into pieces and shattering the meta with potentially the coolest thing I could've crafted for Venerated Rotpriest.

All of the corresponding tabs have been updated to detail out shift into Modern, looking forward to the community's commentary on this breakout deck Archetype.
