Wow, I didn't expect people to so quickly build top-tier-priced decks around the spoiled cards.. I'm gonna chuck him in my Ghave, Guru of Spores deck as a wincon.

Hi DanteBeleren!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Deserted Temple was in the deck, but after some tests I replaced it with Mana Confluence, due to the fact that the deck needs more lands that give color. I'm aware about this combo, actually it works in the same way with Gaea's Cradle. Maybe I should cut Buried Ruin for Temple? Yep, I think that Temple will go back in the deck, thanks man!

Cabal Coffers would be much better in black mono-color I think.

Running Hulk without Natural Order or Pattern of Rebirth to capitalize on him seems wrong, since that's a very consistent win condition in the deck. Actually, I don't see a lot capitalizing on Hulk's inclusion here unless you're doing a Hulk line with which I am not familiar.

Since you also seem to enjoy making infinite mana, there's little reason to not include Walking Ballista, who honestly seems like a better use of a card slot than Ophiomancer.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Phyrexian Delver are also solid inclusions. For example, a game of t1 Birds of Paradise, t2 anything (any sac outlet), t3 Natural Order > Protean Hulk, sac Hulk using any of your sac outlets to go grab Mikaeus and Walking Ballista (or if your sac outlet isn't a repeatable one, go get Delver + Viscera Seer, Delver brings back in Hulk, sac Hulk with Seer and go grab Mikaeus + Ballista), and then win by repeatedly pinging 1 and then sacrificing Ballista, who comes back in with Undying every time.

Cards I am not a fan of because they don't do a whole lot in a game versus competitive EDH decks: Ophiomancer, Apprentice Necromancer, Creakwood Liege, Cryptbreaker, and I find the Mana Reflection combo extremely janky since Reflection costs so much mana. Some of those may be moved to try utilizing the above cards, possibly.

It's just- Hulk is easily one of the strongest win conditions in Commander, bar none. So I'd recommend either removing him for a more reasonable tutor card (like Pattern, which I'm sure you'd love to use to get out Razaketh), or turn him into the win condition he's born to be by letting him kill everyone with ease, lol. He'll accompany your other combos just fine, too, since you can plop him out early with 4 Pattern or Order.

Hi, PookandPie

Thanks for your time and your suggestions!

I aware about combo with Hulk that You mentioned. Actualy I don't like Mike + Balista combo for a reason that those cards useless on its one. So Hulk is here just for a pure tutoring value I think. And I have the winning condition in my comand zone, so I can afford not to use Hulk as a win con. The deck is a young project so far, and I agree that maybe Hulk could be swapped for something else. Maybe...

I,ll think about your suggestion to cut Ophiomancer or some of the other token generators. They are here mostly for feeding Contamination and for things like gravepact and sac outlets

Phyrexian Delver - I like this creature. I'll try it in my tests.

Mana Reflection is a solid card. In my other decks it was a blast. If it stays on the field for one turn then you usualy win the game. So the card is very useful on its one and creates inf. combo with monoliths.

don't know why I forgot about Pattern of Rebirth. I used it so many times in my Rhonas deck. Thanks! Probably coming in without a doubt.

I agree that Hulk is very powerful win con. But this deck works a little different then other Hulk combo decks.

For now I think about things like Victimize into Raza + Hulk, sac hulk, tutor for necropotence-> Mindsliser ETB, sac Mindslicer, tutor for LED or Meren - be an asshole

Parallel Lives and Ashnod's Altar go infinite with Slimefoot, the Stowaway. Create 2 tokens for 4, sac them for 4 mana, repeat. Slimefoot kills the table. Doubling Season works as well of course.

Tendershoot Dryad is a good creature, especialy if it stays on the field long enough. But I am trying to minimize token generators right now, to find a balance between the need to feed things like Contamination, Gaea's Cradle, Earthcraft, Grave Pact, Razaketh, the Foulblooded, sac outlets and Meren and between having a more potent and versatile creatures like Necrotic Ooze, Manglehorn and Phyrexian Delver.

Have you considered any sources of infect for your commander? Sacrificing 10 saprolings with Grafted Exoskeleton on your commander is pretty brutal.

Adamaro

Actualy I have not. It is pretty brutal, especialy if You set this up with Contamination + Slimefoot, the Stowaway. I think it could be more of a stax way of winning... probably. This deck wants to win comboing of ASAP through Razakeths reanimation. I doubt it would be good here. But for aggro and stax versions Grafted Exoskeleton may be a good addition, or even Triumph of the Hordes, if You have enough saprolings, cast it, if you attack and they block - they die, if they dont block - they still die.

I'm excited to see if this works.

So I am thinking about building this guy myself and was just wondering what the reasons are to go with this combo over Ashnod's Altar and Parallel Lives combo? Honestly just curious on your opinion on both combo's in general.

April 18, 2018 7:06 p.m.

Matrixxx999 says... #16

The reason is that Parallel Lives does not do much by it self in this deck and is pretty slow, I cut all the excessive token generators In the deck in order to increase the number of more useful cards like tutors and reanimation for Razaketh, the Foulblooded, so Parallel Lives has no impact in here. And this combo is a bit slow on my opinion, because in vacuum you will need 14 mana to start it - 3 for altar, 4 for Parallel Lives, 3 for Slimefoot and 4 to create a token with Slimefoots ability. Recently I used Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Tukatongue Thallid wich does the same with Slimefoot, but at the moment I'm trying to do even without it.

Sanguine Bond for all the life gain triggers?

Matrixxx999 says... #18

Hi Amyas!

Thanks for suggestion! Sanguine Bond is a good card for Life gain decks I think, and it is even better if you use it with Exquisite Blood to kill every one with infinite life loss. But this card and the aforementioned combination is very slow in my opinion.

I have a bit of a combo for you. Take Life and Limb and add a Scapeshift makes for fun times. my deck is Im such a fun-guy if you want to take a look

Hi, killroy726!

Thanks for suggested cards! In early version of the deck I used Scapeshift with Amulet of Vigor and World Shaper and Lotus Cobra.

Can You please clarify how this combo works? (Life and Limb + Scapeshift + Slimefoot, the Stowaway)

June 20, 2018 7:55 p.m.

killroy726 says... #21

Life and Limb makes your forests into saprolings, and your saprolings into forests. you use Scapeshift to sac off all your forests and saproling tokens since they are now forests as well and slimefoot triggers for each one that got sacked off.

Oh... ok, thanks for clarification.

+1 for the beautiful layout and decklist!

Gemstone Caverns/Gemstone Mine/Tarnished Citadel could be really useful for this deck.

Thanks a lot SynergyBuild!

I really like Gemstone lands You suggested. I will definitely test them in the near future.

Cool, this list reminds me a lot of my Golgari Combo (WECIC)!
