Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord + Lord of Extinction is a pretty juicy combo. LoE usually makes for a huge Mimeo body as a backup plan.

I agree, but both of those are in my Jarad, Lich Lord of Fun.

Have you considered Dimir Doppelganger for matchups where your opponents abuse the GY better than you are able? It is still a good, reusable clone.

Wonder is a nice creature to have in the grave usually for some added evasion.

Opal Palace and Reflecting Pool are good lands for a tri-color deck as well.

As for filling your own grave, I have seen good things come of using Mirror-Mad Phantasm and Hermit Druid for self-mill.

Maybe Sakura-Tribe Elder could be Druidic Satchel? It is easily reusable at least. Probably not a really important suggestion, though.

I'm not entirely sure of how good all of these suggestions are for your personal strategy, but I hope I can help you at least a little. +1 and have a good day!

I could get some play out of all of these. Thanks for the suggestions and the upvote.

Really cool deck.

The only suggestions I could possibly make to this are: Twincast (Because spell doubling, I've found to be one of the most broadly useful mechanics in the game) and Villainous Wealth because with enough mana pumped into it, that card can win games by itself. Even better if you Twincast it. :D

I have been meaning to order Villainous Wealth for a while. Keep forgetting to pick one up.

I do agree with the spell doubling. It can be a counter, or whatever is good at the time.

I think i would hate playing against your Mimeo deck, like i usually hate playing against other good Mimeo decks lol. I remember playing against one that had Lord of Extinction, who he Mimeo'd, and there were like a million cards in the graveyard ugh. I like how you can go so many ways with this to bag the win, +1!

Yeah, Lord of Extinction exiled for power and any creature with evasion exiled for skill, makes for one scary ooze.

Krosan Cloudscraper with Deaths shadow makes a 26/26, which is the biggest is can be naturally.

It can die via morph if you draw it, so I suggest it if you plan on winning with commander damage.

That is not bad, though Lord of Extinction makes it the largest.(the largest Mimeo I have had was an 84/83 'Spirit of the Night*I will test and see. I am in the process of reinvisioning Mimeo. I have been playing with more casual players. I will tune it to that enviroment using my sideboard for situations that require Pod Police.

I meant that the two 13/13's are the highest power at any given point. LoE is only better once other qualifiers have been met.

WTF never heard of it, but Riptide Shapeshifter is great! If you only have one of that creature type in your deck, it's a blue Natural Order.

It is highly under rated, especially in a good stuff deck. Thanks for the upvote.

If you use a lot of self-mill, Sewer Nemesis is a HUGE boost in power for your commander. Also, given that your commander is 5 mana, I might go up by a land or two, because you aren't playing many rocks.

This isn't immediately helpful, but Mirror-Mad Phantasm can usually put your combo pieces in the GY, and if your "Mirror-Mad" was your commander in disguise, you become fully milled instantly (giving you the pick of creatures to clone by reanimating Mimeo).

I like the deck! +1 from me :)

Muddle the Mixture would probably be more useful than Shred Memory, being able to protect Mimeo from Path to Exile et. al. is a big boon

PayOneLife

While Muddle the Mixture is great at protecting, it can only prolong graveyard shenanigans, whereas Shred Memory can disrupt infinite turn loops(among other things). It is a great suggestion, none the less. I might run both. Thanks for the advice.

So, this deck surely is pretty tuned. Hard to crack a good nut here, reading through the comments.

I see your deck description is under construction. A few simple hide/show buttons like I use one in my Sisay build makes it easier to read ;)

Have fun and an upvote is always nice to recieve :)
