This is a modern update to the Desert deck. The deck originally swing with Fungusaur , then buffed it with Desert and Hardened Scales . The original deck was casual, this deck is meant to actually be viable in Modern.

I'm replacing Fungusaur with Fungus Sliver , a newly spoiled reprint, and building the rest of the deck to take advantage of having slivers. Slivers in the desert
