NOTES This deck was inspired from a post on the cEDH subreddit. Someone posted a Slimefoot deck which I liked and I currently have a slimefoot deck and my love for Ghave Guru of Spores. I've always wanted to build Ghave as soon as I built Slimefoot. To get to this deck I added in elements of my Captain Sisay deck and one of her cEDH Win Cons into this deck. The other Win Cons are from my Slimefoot deck.

I am a brewer not a huge player so if you make this deck or an iteration of it please let me know how it plays? I'm always looking for feedback and ways to grow.
