Deck Description

A very fun/affordable deck where you'll control 40+ creatures, your life will often break 100, and your creatures will buff up to 40/40+ with ease. While weak to wrath effects, get your clerics out fast and you'll breeze by some extremely powerful decks.

Deck discussion for Strength In Numbers

This is what I've been playing with for a while and it's pretty smooth. Obviously a Felidar Sovereign is very welcomed, but this deck isn't about winning via lifegain. The lifegain in this deck really serves to keep you around while you dont chump block with any of your little guys and ramp up the first few turns.

Once your able to, you play your token gen spells and let your clerics pump you up in life before you devour 2 them all with Mycoloth. Mycoloth will start poopin out 1/1's - two for every creature he devoured. He does during your upkeep every turn! Draw another Mycoloth - devour the spawn of the other one. Or just draw an overrun and end it.

Quick note on the sigil captains - I've been using them as bluffs to bait removal before I cast the big stuff. I find that people always carefully read that card when it comes into play and there is a certain amount of indimidation that I think comes with that unfamiliarity, often luring the removal.

Truth is I really don't care all that much abut a sigil captain.. sure its nice if it *does* stay in and pump every 1/1 I put out, but that's not what this deck is all about.

I got a chance to play around with this. I already had everything but the Mycoloths and a Nomads' Assembly. Very fun deck to play! Solid build - gave it an 8 but it gets a 9 on fun and a 10 on REDICULOUS

Side deck some silences against Wraths, probably taking out either a set of clerics or might of the masses. You would play it pre-emptively on a turn when you're pretty much ready to take them out. The more copies you accumulate beforehand the better.

Vines of Vastwood also seems like an obvious side deck. I'd also put Aura Gnarlid either main or side, as it will allow you to get him through if you pump him up with a sigil or might of the masses. Eldrazi token decks could potentially stall you otherwise.

I can't help but think that perhaps Growth Spasm is a better fit for this deck as opposed to Harrow. It nets you the same amount of mana (albeit uncolored) and lands while giving you more tokens for devouring as well. I'll have to try this out.

Canopy cover might work better/in tandem with recluse to get your big attackers through and protect against spot removal.

i am a huge fan of mycoloth, and will always will be. i simply love the card. this deck looks awesome, and i used to have a fungus/saproling deck that looked something like this. how about coat of arms? thats always lots of fun. think about splashing red for Thunder-Thrash Elder and Soul's Fire (the exact simple combo that led me to making my devour deck), maby even furrystoke giant and Elemental mastery. soul fire is a simple win condition with big devour creatures, and thunder-thrash elder is devistating with fists of iron or elemental mastery. and furystoke giant -- well, its furystoke giant. and you can always devour it to use it again with persist. This deck looks fun, and reminds me to finish my playset of mycoloth. Nice deck man.

coat of arms if both helpful and hurtful, if he plays against a deck with many same creature types (even allies) they will get bonuses too.

yes, i no. hence side board. but if you have more creatures of the same type than them -- which you will with mycoloth -- it still helps alot.

mmmmm.... just my oppion here, consider dropping the over runs for a living over run aka Garruk and for extra fun Elspeth for more tokens and immortal creatures

You may even want to add a few Dauntless Escort or even Eldrazi Monument to prevent from board wipes.

Maybe replace the Jaddi Lifestrider with them, just my 2cents.

I had two main goals on the initial build: keep it in Standard, and keep it budget. Many of you had some great ideas. But I've noticed with this deck, if you draw your clerics early you're a VERY tough opponent to beat, as the deck is.

However I am testing some different configurations. I've dropped the Jadi's and the 4 Soul's Attendants for 2 more Conqueror's Pledge, 3 Canopy Cover, and another Overrun.

I'm curious to see someone else' version and hear how it's working.

Seems like a very good deck..... that is if the person you are playing against doesn't use Pestilence or something similar

Panoptic Mirror and or Spellbinder would be excellent additions to this deck.

With Panoptic Mirror you can imprint Conquerer's Pledge or Nomad's Assembly (especially Nomad's Assembly) and then play it for free every upkeep.

With Spellbinder... well same thing except every time you deal a player damage with equipped creature.. *bam* instant tokens.
