I prefer @rumpy's gorger to @Podkomorka's for a couple of reasons. The fact that Haze Frog isn't mainboarded in podkomorka's is a massive oversight - this card is so powerful with Species Gorger that it can singlehandedly beat non-blue combat-oriented decks in 1v1 situations (I have known the joys of Haze Frog myself in my Temur Sabertooth paper list). Podkomorka's reliance on playing big vanilla/slightly evasive creatures to close games is also quite offputting as i find they don't do much for you (PDH is notorious for boardstalls) unless they drop early and pile up quickly (see Garruk's Packleader). Also the recursion section seems like wasted slots.

Alright. So here is my opinion:
1) I think that Podkomorka's point that Gatecreeper Vine et al. are bad at ramp is looking at the cards from the wrong angle. In my mind they are extra copies of Elvish Visionary, "drawing" a card on ETB. Yes, you might not always want to get a land, but having two or three of those effects is helpful
2) The token producers I think are a meta call. I have a Changeling Titan deck that utilizes ETB token creators and they are great for gumming up the board and deterring attacks but they don't actively forward your win condition and do nothing to stop common threats like Ascended Lawmage and Enigma Drake. So I'm not going to factor this into my decision.
3) Podkomorka's deck has the Peregrine Drake combo, the most ubiquitous win condition in PDH. It gives an alternate way to close out the game and can eliminate all players at once. This gives Podkomorka's deck an edge in grindy games.
4) rumpy's deck has more options to voltron Species Gorger, but only one other creature to utilize these options (Ulamog's Crusher). Podkomorka's deck is the opposite, less pieces with more potential options.
5) Podkomorka's deck has more draw and filtering options, while rumpy's deck has more options for removal
All of these things considered, I think Podkomorka's deck would be more likely to win a game. rumpy, my recommendations for your deck would be to hammer out a secondary win condition. Voltron is a good strategy and you are in the best colors to protect and recast it but your only backup if Gorger is neutered is Ulamog's Crusher. For Podkomorka, I would optimize your removal and ability to deal combat damage. Both decks have some cards that I feel are not optimal, so I think there is room for both decks to improve.

Thank you for the feedback from everyone. I agree my removal needs improved and I'll be making that change soon. I'll also look into ways to improve getting my damage through as I cant get drake every game that gets long and mucked-up.

is there something wrong with the Rakdos tab, or is it just still empty?
EDIT: n/m sorry. looks like it's empty.

Anybody familiar with a card similar to Karametra's Favor that allows me to tap a creature for Mana in Dimir colors? Or a Paradise Mantle type artifact?
March 25, 2018 5:22 p.m.
Energy Tap, but that's only a sorcery. Springleaf Drum might be what you're looking for.

Thanks Feyamius! Was hoping for something reusable/abusable for a combo but ended up going this route...
Podkomorka, please consider adding my Siren of the Silent Song deck at Siren of the Silent Discard - PDH please.

Sorry if I ask but where Merchant Scroll was printed as common? Nor in Homelands neither in 8ED, so I miss something? Because every deck I see with it says Pauper EDH Legal...

Thanks for the feedback! Lignify is a strong option, but the problem is that sans evasion, Gorger noms the creature that gets tree-a-fied. And while evasion is likely, it's not a guarantee. I like the hexproof idea, may try some of those. Pathbreaker Wurm feels excessive given the cost and 4 toughness.
