He's not talking about The Scarab God. Regardless the one of still nulls the whole point.

My apologies.

This is why it's always best to not be lazy, and link the card:

The Scorpion God

I do actually have one of that card. I cracked it during Hour of Devastation.

I think I'd rather put Neheb, the Eternal on the field than The Scorpion God, to be honest.

I might do some playtesting to see what impact it would have.

So I don't know if this is relevant to your decisions or not but I started with this deck in mind and then tweaked the crap out of it (mostly due to the cards I had on hand) and it turned into a double tribal Zombie Minotaur deck with the intention of providing buffs to Neheb, the Eternal and Cursed Minotaur.

The end result looked nothing like your deck obviously but I just wanted to mention how well The Scorpion God played for me. I don't know your meta but mine was pretty fast at standard showdown this week. I played against Ramunap Red (which blew me out) A black white token and a Naya Dinos deck.

Scorpy was a wonderful play and finisher. Even without focusing on -1/-1 counters his ability was taking out 1 or 2 creatures a turn against these decks that like to run fast creatures and such. In the process he was drawing me mid game fuel that I otherwise would have been topdecking at that point. He's obviously less effective against creatureless or near creatureless control decks but he's easily sided out. I was also able to get him on the board the turn following a Neheb, the Eternal once and the extra mana from neheb ended up helping me wipe her board post combat :)

Scorpy doesn't fit everywhere but he is great mid/late game fuel against decks running weenies. Something you can't get a lot of in rakdos colors.

Honestly dont think The Scorpion God fits that well in here. Unless you had spells to dish out the negative counters in my opinion. Neheb, the Eternal

Speaking of which, Argy would you mind looking at my Eternal Gods deck just to look at it?

I used to have Key to the City in this deck for draw, but I replaced it with Throne of the God-Pharaoh, to speed things up a bit.

Ribbons is amazing with neheb. Even without neheb it can be a game ended. The Cut isnt bad either. I might consider it in place of lightning strike or supernatural supernatural stamina. Good luck!

Legendary_penguin_of_death you are a genius!

I had Cut / Ribbons in an earlier version of this deck, but took it out for Grasp of Darkness.

I forgot all about it. It's just what I need to get rid of Glorybringer.

You are spot on that it allows Neheb, the Eternal to spend all his extra

Thanks for the excellent suggestion.

I took out a copy of neheb the eternnal and throne of the god pharoh and instead put two hazoret the fervent. It seems to work really well. I like the whole idea of cut to ribbons what would I substitute that for? Also instead of removing a throne of the god pharoh I could remove another neheb the eternal. To me hazoret might be the better fit even though it's a minatour deck. What is your take?

My take is, if that works for you, then good onya.

You take out Lightning Strike for the Cut / Ribbons.
