{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi guys, this is my personal Mycotyrant build. It's meant to be a budget build thanks to the fact that self mill cards are usually dirt cheap (except a few cards), but it still kicks ass at B2/B3 tables (verified this in endless EdhPlay.com games where i intentionally joined B3 lobbies).\n\n The strategy here is pretty simple: first prepare the mill, then bring out the mycotyrant to make the tokens which we can sacrifice to many of our cards to generate additional value (in this specific build, mainly card draw and recursion). Once we have enough fungi, we can just swing with them and the mycotyrant (trust me, they'll be more than enough to take out your opponents).\nThe order i prioritize my plays is: 1) repeated mill ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crawling Infestation"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Return of the Mole Man"}},{"insert":"..play these as soon as you can) 2) the mycotyrant 3) burst mill effects (cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Glowspore Shaman"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Undead Butler"}},{"insert":", etc.... Please don't ever play these cards before the mycotyrant is out unless you are desperate, they contribute almost nothing to the strategy without him) 4) effects that sac the tokens for value ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Keskit, the Flesh Sculptor"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Victimize"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hell's Caretaker"}},{"insert":"...)\n\nNow that we've got the strategy out of the way, let me highlight some deckbuilding choices I made:\n- In the card draw section, you will see the absence of cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Return of the Wildspeaker"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shamanic Revelation"}},{"insert":" (which they draw a lot of cards in a single go), but instead put many repeated card draw effects. That's because a lot of the times when you play those cards, you will not have any more mana and are gonna have to discard most of them at end of turn (which does not trigger the mycotyrant, cuz discarding cards happens during the cleanup step which is after the beginning of the end step). \n- You will se that this deck is full of creatures (42 of 'em). That's because there are many effects that care about creatures in the graveyard (like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Splinterfright"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Old Stickfingers"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Winter, Tormented Loner"}},{"insert":" etc). Also because it is way easier to recur creatures from graveyards than anything else, and also like this you'll be able to recur what the situation needs you to (need more card draw?

That's because most of our repeated mill is at either 3 mana ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nyx Weaver"}},{"insert":","},{"insert":{"card-link":"Out of the Tombs"}},{"insert":") or 2 ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Perpetual Timepiece"}},{"insert":" , "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ripples of Undeath"}},{"insert":") so most 2-mana mana rocks (like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Arcane Signet"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Golgari Signet"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Talisman of Resilience"}},{"insert":")will not ramp us towards anything. However I could see the case being made for 1-mana mana dorks like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elvish Mystic"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Elves of Deep Shadow"}},{"insert":".\n- Finally, I discarded the entire Saproling part of the Mycotyrant. One piece of mill will always be better and synergize more with the rest of the deck than any Saproling creating cards. If you really want to include some Saproling cards (which I strongly advise not to do) you could think about putting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tendershoot Dryad"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Brightcap Badger // Fungus Frolic"}},{"insert":".\n\nThis being said, I hope you enjoy my decklist. I created a maybeboard of expensive upgrades for those who have a bigger wallet than mine. If you read all of this, you're actually a goat. Trust me when I say that I've been updating this deck since last year and is my favorite deck of all time. Of course, if you have any suggestions let me know with a comment. Now go on and create the biggest fungus your opponents will ever see!!\n"}]}
