It is a lot of fun. They think that they have a solid line of play, then you just delete the key thing in their hand turn one and now they have to just start again.

Even more devastating after they mulligan once or twice, too!

Play Demonic Dread, and trigger its Cascade ability.
The card that Cascade finds resolves on the stack BEFORE the Cascade card.
Tibalt's Trickery counters Demonic Dread despite being cascaded for.
Resolve Tibalt's Trickery as normal, and hope you hit Emrakul off the effect that looks for non-land cards off the top of your deck.

I just find it better when the dumb strat actually works.

If you REALLY want to make this a viable option, going with as many Fetchlands to filter the deck out and avoid the possibility of all lands off Tibalt's Trickery might be an option.
Including the new Surveil lands from Karlov Manor!

A bunch of cards with CMC greater than 3 could also work, like Street Wraith, as there is already a (I believe it's called) Living Death archetype that already does the same thing in Sultai colours.

I'd scrap all of the following and replace them with Swamps. BASIC Swamps. To make the deck legal to play.
- Kindred Dominance
- Drainpipe Vermin
- Nezumi Bone-reader
- Locust Miser
- 10/12 Leechridden Swamp

I know that this is about discarding and lowering your opponent's hand size, but those things aren't going to work well together since after you make your opponent discard heaps, they likely aren't going to be able to draw.
I'd instead focus on getting out a horde of rats quickly and trying to overrun your opponent!
As others have stated too, 12 lands is abysmally low, even if the deck was all 1CMC cards. Not to mention that with your non-basics that enter tapped, you won't have the speed to actually do what your deck wants to.

Consider too swapping Relentless Rats for Rat Colony, as Colony doesn't rely on multiple copies of itself to get really powerful! AND it's cheaper to play at only 2CMC!

Similar thing on Moxfield. You add the card to your deck, then you can change it to a specific printing unless you search for that one in the first place.

So, uh, MH3 is finally out on here now.
That being said, with the speed that things are getting updated on here, switching to Moxfield still isn't off the cards.

There's talk on another deck here for a whole bunch of us to move to Moxfield. I don't like it as much as Vault for building decks easily, but they're actually keeping up to date.

I'm going to miss some of my old decks too, like the token deck that uses one of the most niche and detrimental cards for a token strategy to its advantage, or my Splinter Twin deck that was a Red/White burn deck with a Splinter Twin. combo in it.

Looking back over my old decks, I made some really stupid decks. Goat tokens, Mexican Tribal and Possibility Storm Emrakul all make me question what the me from 10ish years ago was thinking.

You can still do that unless the decks are "Unlisted". I have the same issue with my old account on here.

It is very interesting going back and looking at my older decks though, seeing how I used to think about deck creation and dying a little inside like when I look at my old paintjobs on some of my earlier Warhammer models.

Yeah, I know quite a few people who use Moxfield instead of here. Personally, I find this easier to use but I've always had issues with how long it takes to get new sets on here.

If that was the case, then the deck probably wouldn't have run away with so much of the pro-tour. "Dies to removal" doesn't exactly work against protection and counterspells being used back at you, and that is if you can draw them.

It's already been confirmed that the damned bird is more prominent and oppressive than Hogaak ever was.
Appeared in 25% of decks, including ANTI-NADU decks. It also has a [damn near] 60% win rate at the pro-tour, while Ruby Storm which people think will take over had a far lower win rate because the counters are easy to pull out.

This is why I've been saying for years to use the damned tags and deck description parts when making decks here! And why I do it myself.

But yeah. I agree 100% with the Bojuka Bog thing. There aren't that many graveyard focused decks in Pauper, and since you're only running 17 lands, having them enter tapped will be very painful quite a bit.

At the time of posting, MH3 still hasn't been added here yet, so Fleshbag Marauder being a placeholder for that one makes sense.

If you're looking for recommendations, the common lands from New Capenna that search for Basics of a specific 3 colours work really well in Muldrotha, even if each of the 4 you'd add to here only search for one of your colours. They can be played repeatedly, and while I do have a lot of dual lands in my Muldrotha deck, they are still worth adding. Same with regular fetches like Verdant Catacomb.

Sultai Ascendancy is also just "Upkeep: Surveil 2" despite how wordy it is, since Surveil wasn't a keyword in Kahns of Tarkir.

I'm also a big fan of the Lhyrgoyf creature type in Muldrotha, as you will have cards in grave. If you don't, you're doing it wrong!


Hope that helps. Here's a link to my own Muldrotha deck if you are looking for inspiration:

Yeah, I agree with TheSwarmer here. A lot of Modern decks these days are running about 18-20 lands, even with a bigger pay-off such as Murktide Regent, or even Tron decks, because it's so easy now to get cheap yet effective pay-offs or to just find necessary pieces.

As for what I'd run instead of 3 of your lands, probably the Bowmasters because they are just that good, and fantastic against commonly used cards in these decks such as Ragavan and DRC.
If you want to go with Ragavan, that's also a good option to get rid of the top card of your opponent's deck if they are particularly fond of it.

For the sideboard, there's a lot of options. Since your creatures are all so cheap, then Unearth is a fantastic card to add there for recursion. I'd also consider possibly running Grist, the Hunger Tide if you went with Unearth too, as Grist is quite a solid little Planeswalker, but also counts as a Creature for Tarmogoyf and Unearth!
I do also highly think that Surgical Extraction is a severely underrated card in Modern at the moment, especially if you're running a high amount of discard like Inquisition and Thoughtseize.

So, let's quickly address how this stops each meta deck:

Murktide - Exile stuff that hits graveyard, IF Dryad is on the field or you can fetch Lion Sash. You do at least have Rest in Peace in Sideboard.
Scam - The banning of Fury already did a lot to delete Scam decks from the meta, but the one spell per turn cards will still help heaps.
Yawgmoth - I don't see how you get around this one. The only way out in here is all sideboard cards, unless you have searched for the Lion Sash and are able to grab the Young Wolf out of the graveyard, which a good Yawgmoth player would have killed off very quickly.
Domain/Leyline - Outside of the 4 Path to Exile, not much here to stop a Scion of Draco or the other cards in the deck. This deck type will be the bane of what you have created here.
Tron - Most of their stuff is artifact, but stopping them from untapping all of their lands is a good idea. Just not sure how consistently you'll be doing that.

Overall I think that this will certainly shake up some decks, and possibly dent the reputations of certain strategies, I'm not sure if it's enough to break through what we currently have. Especially with the power-creep nonsense that is Modern Horizons 3 on the, well, the horizon.
That being said, I do certainly appreciate someone else also trying to stand up to the meta and tell it to shove off too!

I thought of Glissa because she's got First Strike, Deathtouch and those modal abilities which can drain me for card advantage, or help deal with something like Leyline or remove counters off a Murktide.
Bowmaster is just value, not just against Ravagan either, but also against something like DRC or Young Wolf in a Yawgmoth deck.

Leech is good for the drain effect, but Thalia, Glissa and Bowmaster are all more for controlling my opponent than being a beatstick.

So, I've been thinking.
Maybe instead of Thalia, I should go with either Glissa Sunslayer because she beefy and does a lit of stuff or Orcish Bowmaster. Thoughts?

I've only been getting back into Modern recently, and MtG in general after Phyrexia returned since my leaving at Khans of Tarkir. But it does feel like it's been dragged down lately through a combination of extremely cheap and efficient creatures to a point where we used to view Legacy and Vintage back when I started back in Avacyn Restored.

Instead I've delved far, FAR deeper into Warhammer, started getting back into Cardfight!! Vanguard and went through the entire life cycle of the Force of Will TCG in my area until it died due to the power creep that the Eternal Formats are now experiencing, but at a more rapid pace.
