Grolnok And The Army Of The Frogs

Commander / EDH GU (Simic)

KamikazeHighlander


Grolnok self-mill deck

strategy - Powerful board. Not a ton of large board control or one turn wincons, but two creature/counter spells with flash, and two counter spells that add converted mana cost give good opportunities to shut down other opponents wincon. Frogify is also good at shutting down a problem creature. On the topic of creatures.

Frog creatures are unfortunately kinda limited, whereas changelings can have much more versatility, so feel free to experiment. you may also want some form of "return target instant or sorcery" As Grolnok will only exile permanents to be played. So far this has not been a huge issue for me. but it is something the deck is lacking.

Potential (but kind of unlikely) wincon via willow geist + Vivien + galloping lizrog + simic ascendancy. If you had 0 counters on simic ascendancy (unlikely but this would be worst-case, this deck can easily trigger simic) and minimum 10 counters on Willow geist (procced from milling). Flash in Galloping lizrog at the end of your opponents turn, remove 10 +1/+1, double it, and put 20 +1/+1 on lizrog, put 20 counters on simic, your turn starts, you win. Otherwise this deck doesn't have any game winning, one turn cards.

EDIT #1 1/20/22: Very creature heavy now, but with a more rounded mana curve.
