fearfactor19: Cabal Stronghold could definitely be playable yes. Remember not to go too low on the basic land count with it in your deck.

Have you ever considered using custom categories for the cards? I think they’re especially useful in commander decks because of the large amount of cards to sift through. They also allow you to have a smaller and cleaner looking description. Also, for the description I really like spoilers, but panels work too and they’re not that hard to use.

Have you thought about replacing triskellion with walking ballista for infinite pings

You should add the -1/-1 counter creatures from ahmonket

DeadlyDoughnut7 Arent ballista and triskelion about the same thing?

rapak: Ballista doesn't work, because of Mikaeus' +1/+1 anthem effect. So the Ballista will enter as an 2/2 (one coming from the +1/+1 counter), so removing the counter won't cause the Ballista to die unless it shoots itself. The reason Triskelion works is that it enters with 3/4 counters on it, so one can be used to shoot itself and the rest shooting your opponents, killing everyone.

Also, holy shit, Mikaeus reprint!

Hell to the yeah on the reprint!!! Don't think it will drop the price back to $5, but should dip to $10-12. Time to dust off this deck with some upgrades and take it to EDH night Saturday

Sleazebag the ballista sac works if you have a sac outlet. ping for one with the counter, then sac with ashnods or another outlet

I know you wrote that all tutors that are more than 4 mana are too slow, but have you considered Dark Petition ?? you pay 5 mana and get 3 back and tutor for what you want, so it costs 3 mana with the only downside being you need 5 to cast it. it's also only 2.5 $ so it's very cheap.

Fallerup: Definitely a good enough card to run and I'd recommend adding it, but $2.5 is WAY too much for this deck!

Fallerup says... #15

Ah I see, I did make a 130 $ version of this, so it's sort of in between this cheap one and the really expensive one where I put that card in. since my budget is under 20 $ pr. card, I can be a little more liberal with my choices. I do miss out on the really good stuff like Bitterblossom and such. anyways, the list is right here, I gave you credit for most of it, as you rightfully deserve. Mikaeus' infinite combos

January 22, 2019 3:41 p.m.

Geez dude, this is probably the most successful deck I've seen on tappedout. 5 years, nearly 3k upvotes... Seriously, props for this, especially since it's just over 50$!

This is a very fun deck to play. Great job

Sleazebag: have you seen Putrid Goblin ? Didn't see it above*

Sleazebag says... #19

Perfect_Phyrexia: Hell yeah, just waiting for the set to come out so I can get an estimated price on the cards before I add them. I'd love to play Yawgmoth too, but he's obviously out of the price range.

Sleazebag I have one "complaint" to make!

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/08-03-19-do-you-feel-lucky-punk/

I improvised this deck from a fusion of your two decks: budget and not budget.

After a few games and my friends already think about banning this deck because is very powerfull !!!

Thank you! You are the one !!!

June 4, 2019 10:41 a.m.

Sleazebag I’m just excited to have a mikaeus combo in my zombie only grimgrin deck. Putrid Goblin shouldn’t be too expensive for the deck but who knows. Yawgmoth will be good in your non budget version for sure since it’s a 4 drop creature that can cheese high tier human commanders, Draw, and give more undying triggers.

Hey dude, I'm so excited to play this deck. I'm new to EDH, but I love the deck building aspect. I just wanted to let you know, you may already know, but there are sections of this that have broken links. Thanks for making this!

Sleazebag, which cards do you recommend to exchange if you have all the cards in the maybeboard? :) Thank you for your work!
