Hey I love the decklist, and I was wondering if perhaps you had any suggestions for my very own Muldrotha deck. When I have more free time i'm going to refine it as right now it's not even at 100 cards and is I feel a bit all over the place with what it wants to do.

You see, I also own a Meren of Clan Nel Toth deck already so I decided to do something quite different with this deck purposedly to avoid too much overlap in strategy. What i'm doing is much more focused on self mill to a larger degree, but also a lands matter theme playing cards like Hermit Druid (with little to no basics likely), Mirror-Mad Phantasm, Tunnel Vision alongside cards like Temple of Malady, Temple of Deceit, Temple of Mystery, and Zhalfirin Void to make possible Laboratory Maniac as a win con. Then there's other goodstuff like Worm Harvest, Sylvan Reclamation, WORLDSHAPER!, Sylvan Awakening/Rude Awakening alongside Avenger of Zendikar, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, The Gitrog Monster, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, multani, yavimaya's elder, and Ulvenwald Hydra.

I'm playing tons of efficient lands that fill other roles like Dark Depths/Thespian's Stage/Vesuva, Maze of Ith, Glacial Chasm, Strip Mine/Tectonic Edge, Cabal Coffers/Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, etc. Because of Cabal Coffers and maybe Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and other mana doublers I might add, I may try and play some big spells like Exsanguinate, Torment of Hailfire, Genesis Wave as finishers also.

Anyways, what I recommend for your own deck is to consider lands like Remote Isle, Barren Moor, Tranquil Thicket, etc. Oblivion Stone also would go quite well here I think. But yeah if you have any feedback for my own different take I would really appreciate it as I feel it needs much, much refinement still.

@Delta-117 Hey man! Thanks for checking out the list. Tunnel Vision is a brilliant idea I hadn't thought of! Especially with the scrylands. I would run Lab Man as a wincon, as well, but I already use him in The Locust God and found it is the least fun way to win so I didn't want to repeat that (but to each his own!). Thanks for the suggestion of the cycling lands- they definitely get value with draw + the ability to replay them from the graveyard. Also, since we're both running Hermit Druid, I probably should put more nonbasics in anyway lol.

Hey another suggestion here would be Executioner's Capsule just thought of this one a couple hours ago and I have added it to my deck already. Im sure theres still plenty of other good repeatable permanent effects out there that I just havent thought of yet too.

Elephant Grass and Ancestral Knowledge will both put in some work here.

Also, Tormod's Crypt for free gy hate that doesn't hit you. I'd also run Urza's Bauble over Mishra's personally, hand is typically a lot more knowledge than just the top card.

@Last_Laugh : Great suggestions! I've included Ancestral Knowledge and Urza's Bauble into the list immediately. Gonna sit on Tormod's Crypt and Elephant Grass for a little while since Nihil Spellbomb gives me card draw and Elephant Grass needs playtesting for me. Thank you!

A card that I might playtest later in my version of the deck when it's later finished is Primeval Bounty, now I know it's costly cmc wise, but I think it's worth trying especially considering the amount of ramp i'm likely using.

I'm thinking of playing around 42 or so lands, and so I think this could be really useful considering i'm also going to play The Gitrog Monster, Splendid Reclamation, World Shaper, etc.

I'm not sure if you would care for the card here, but in any case I just thought I would let you know about it anyways.

@Delta-117 : Thanks for the heads up! Primeval Bounty looks very, very good- I'll play around with it a little bit in the list. I'm not going as much in the lands direction as you but let me know how it works out in your deck!

Got another hidden gem to recommend. Armor of Thorns, works for reusable removal that gets around indestructible or can buff a creature if you need it.

Ummm wow I misread the shit out of that card... I was looking at the duel deck printing and I misread the lengthy was wording on the card

Ummm wow, I misread the shit out of that card... I was looking at the duel deck printing and I misread the lengthy ass wording on the card. Muh bad!

Hahaha all good XD Thanks for the suggestion though duder

Hey so I made some more updates to the deck, here it is so far. I still need to cut 3 cards, but that's an improvement over the earlier 20! Any idea on what the last 3 things I should take out, and whether there's any cards from the maybeboard that maybe should be in the deck? Thanks in advance Craven183!

Great work here! I really like the strategy and the list! Since you're playing some fatties as win cons and especially Lord of the Void, why not play in The Mimeoplasm? Best case reanimate him with smth like It That Betrays and the Lord for extra power, or even make it a Muldrotha with huge power for commander damage! You already have protection and haste with Lightning Greaves so you could look into that. One other thing to note is that Ground Seal works well with Muldrotha as you don't target to cast, but it doesn't work with target reanimate spells (e.g. Reanimate, Animate Dead), so please tell me how it works for you.

Also, feel free to check out my Muldrotha list for ideas as well. Happy brewing!

P.S. mentioning the art deserves a +1 by itself

@Crav96,

Thanks so much for checking out the list! Your recommendation for a Mimeoplasm list is well placed, as many of these cards are actually coming over from a Mimeoplasm list I previously had! I found with Mimeoplasm I turned the deck into more of an aggro Voltron build that tended to do the same thing every game. I like that with Muldrotha there seems to be more midrange variety and versatility, so I'm excited to try it out!

As you've pointed out, I was at first hesitant to place Ground Seal into the deck due to the fact it nerfs my reanimation. However, since I'm only running Animate Dead and Dance of the Dead atm, I think it'll retain much usefulness, especially since I can find a way to remove it from the field with Seal of Removal or Bane of Progress and the like if I need to. Someone I play against often has a Geralf deck that aims to exile creatures from graveyards to make big fatties, so I'm keeping Ground Seal for the time being to see how it fares against that!

I will definitely be checking out your Muldrotha list; thanks again for the comment and upvote and I very much appreciate the feedback!

Cheers,

Craven

Any Sultai graveyard deck needs a copy of Wonder or Brawn to give all of your big stuff flying and/or trample. For maximum mill-age, you could put in Mirror-Mad Phantasm

@Ruyen - Oh god you're right. Wonderful suggestions- I'll work them into the deck. Many thanks!

Instead of elixir of immortality, have you considered perpetual timepiece. For one mana more, it is more powerful since it mills you and you can selectively reshuffle your library so you can thin out some extra land, ramp, etc. if you are getting bojuka bogged or something. The only downside is if you mill your whole deck twice (which should never happen since you should probably have a way to win with access to your whole deck)

Why did you remove River Kelpie? I think this is one of the first things you should include...

@Crivaro I took out River Kelpie to place in Mirror-Mad Phantasm. River Kelpie has some great synergy, but I've got Secrets of the Dead for less mana to do the job. I have other options to give me recurrable draw such as Mulldrifter, but draw isn't exactly my biggest priority in this deck. With the graveyard acting as a second hand, Mirror-Mad Phantasm basically gives me the ability to "draw" in a sense in that it will mill large portions of my deck to the graveyard from which I can play those cards using Muldrotha, the Gravetide. River Kelpie is a neat card for a Muldrotha deck, but in my opinion at 5 mana there are much better cards to play, especially when I'm trying to have a good amount of artifacts and enchantments in addition to creatures.

In any case, I'm glad you said something as it made me go back and reevaluate my decision. However, after examining, I think I'm going to stick with keeping the Kelpie out. Thanks and happy deckbuilding!

There is a suite of planeswalkers you could add that can all kill themselves with their minus abilities so muldrotha can cast them again.

Garruk, Primal Hunter can -3 twice the first turn (given enough mana) and once each of the following.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave, Kiora, Master of the Depths, Tamiyo, the Moon Sage, Jace, Architect of Thought, and Vraska, Relic Seeker can all minus half their counters the first turn, then kill themselves be cast and then used a second time each following turn.

@luther

Very true! I guess I have something against using planeswalkers, but these look great! I feel I could definitely make room for Kiora, Master of the Depths in this list especially. Too good with the commander, plus that emblem is just baller.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I am a big fan of Kiora, the Crashing Wave with muldrotha since she is a 3 mana card that is effectively just "draw 2 cards. You may play up to two additional lands this turn."

Oops... I meant 4 mana

Sire of Stagnation would work wonders as a card draw engine/ reanimation target.

Consuming Aberration would also put in some work if you decide to hit one of your opponents with the traumatize instead
