Germ Theory

Main Deck (64 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Building off the concept in my Golemworks deck, this is designed around putting out tokens, doubling those tokens, then putting out some more.

When any living weapon enters the battlefield, Parallel lives will double the number of germ tokens entering the battlefield. The goal is to have Intangible Virtue out, a Parallel Lives, and a Mirrorworks. With that combo, playing a living weapon and copying it with mirrorworks produces (weapon + germ + germ) + (token weapon + germ + germ) + (token weapon + germ + germ). So, for example, for 3 colorless mana that could be 3 Flayer Husks + 6x germs minimum.

Mimic Vat works similarly. Play a Precursor, bring in the tokens. Attack with non-token Precursor next turn on a suicide run and exile with the Mimic Vat. Now, every turn you can pay 3 and put out 4 or more 3/3 golems. Play and sac a Relic-Warder the same way. Now your can basically blink any of your living weapons or Precursors at the end or every turn to multiply tokens.

Let's say you have several of these weenie germs on the battlefield, with a Puresteel and metalcraft (very likely), you can equip Mortar Pod to each germ in sequence and sac it, doing (Xgerms) damage for 0 mana.

Batterskull is just ridiculous with its return to hand ability. That allows for some almost broken copying.
