(pls note that because shroofus isn't currently released the price on them directly will be horsedoodoo. it isn't a $70 card lol)

basic overview

Shroofus Sproutsire, releasing with J25, is a saproling, marking the first saproling in all of magic that isn't a token! He makes saprolings make... more saprolings equal to the combat damage they deal, so when he connects, you get one saproling. Then the next turn, when you connect with two saprolings, you make two. Then four. Then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Then sixty-four. Much of this deck leans into buffing Shroofus to get this multiplication online sooner, but also runs board-wide buffs like Magnify and Overrun to... well, close the game or just make more saprolings. A good start will lead to turn 5 wins through pure, unmitigated combat damage. In longer games, Shroofus's saproling creation effectively negates any need for Vigilance and keeps your life total high, even when pushing damage.

Card advantage and combos

This has been one of my favorite commanders to build on a budget in a long time because he's able to use some of my favorite pet cards to great efficiency. To upgrade, consider Ohran Frostfang and protection for Shroofus. Here's some fun stuff:

Card advantage:

• On-damage: Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Keeper of Fables, Trash the Town
• Sacrifice/death: Fungal Plots, Skullmulcher, Weatherlight Compleated, Fecundity
• Tap: Symbiotic Deployment, Nullmage Shepherd
• ETB: Symmetry Matrix
• Other: Slate of Ancestry, Idol of Oblivion

Combos:

• Fungal Plots + Fecundity > DRAW
• Saw + Shroofus Sproutsire > Can be played the turn following Shroofus for additional saprolings and an easy card draw each turn afterwards.
• Shroofus Sproutsire + Sylvan Anthem > scry through a ton of your deck but also buff your boys, meaning more scry going forward
• Hero's Blade > Shroofus Sproutsire > a real nice curve

Not a lot of super insane combos here, but everything is meant to work together and it's pointless after a while to list off every synergistic interaction between Shroofus and cards which increase power lol

$15? the sidebar says otherwise......

that goes off the average market price, which is generally way higher than you can actually get the cards for what with individual card seller pricing and card condition coming into play. if you have an LGS with a 10cent bin with a bit of luck you'll be able to find the majority of cards this deck needs in them, so shoot you might even be able to get it for less.

i don't want to use stickers!

ay that's fine, just replace Finishing Move and Lineprancers with other power-increasing cards and you're good to go.
