Deck Description

After purchasing The Mimeoplasm pre-con Commander deck, I was thrilled with the game type I'd heard of, but had never been able to play. Luckily, I entered college, and a bunch of people I met ended up playing (and loving!) Magic, including the Commander format. This is a deck I've been working on for months, and the wrinkles still need ironing, but it is an insanely fun, insanely powerful deck.

It's certainly not the best, and its win isn't always a straight shot ahead. But that's not due to a lack of focus! Because of Savra's abilities, I've scoured the game for some of the best cards I could find to compliment her suicide-black tendencies, with ability to create HUGE life-gain leaps.

Now, I wasn't exactly in the financial situation to purchase things like Bitterblossom, Pernicious Deed, Volrath's Stronghold, Crucible of Worlds, and others in that rather fiscally demanding zone, but I did the best I could purchasing some cards, and fortunately already owning others, like the two Titans.

This deck is my baby, for anyone who enjoys the black/green Golgari-inspired interactions, the Commander format, or Magic in general, I hope you give this deck a shot. It's fun, manageable, and contains some really fun shenanigans.

I do hope someone out there looking for a fun EDH deck will give this one a try; the work put into this deck shouldn't go to waste, and I'm sure other people will have great ideas I've missed or discounted previously. But, now!

Onto the deck itself!

Ant Queen certainly seems useful, thanks! Beastmaster Ascension...? Possibly. Might try it.

I agree with Ant Queen that would work very well but as i have seen many decks that run green don't run Beastmaster Ascension its not that good for EDH

The deck Overall is Not a Bad Starter But Obviously as you said you don't have the expensive cards needed to increase its playability further. I would Suggest running cards like Genesis Wave and Praetor's Counsel Both cards are very cheap less than $5.00! Another Little Combo is Quillspike and Devoted Druid a easy Cheap Infinite combo to win the game, Uncommon and common card. And some other Useful cards are Profane Command, Monomania, Rune-Scarred Demon, Regrowth and Pattern of Rebirth. There are many more cards I can List but those are my main Suggestions without taking away the overall style of the deck. If you have any questions for me just ask. I also have decks posted for EDH on here but Mine as u will see are centered around the control play style!!!

Those are some great suggestions, actually. I've actually updated this deck a bit, but I'm waiting until it reaches a new peak before updating it here. I've got Bitterblossom on the way, and I'm considering Genesis heavily. Pattern of Rebirth is also hilarious when put onto Doomed Necromancer. Get two creatures for the price of one!

I think Praetor's Council really would be helpful, too. Thanks! :)
