Last time I played my Slimefoot deck my opponent grew very concerned when I said that I was considering putting more creatures on the board in response to her board wipe.
i’ve had a slimefoot sitting around that i’ve wanted to build but have felt pretty uninspired (having just built a golgari sac deck). this video reinspired me and now i’m going to look into building it. awesome video and amazing recommendations as always, joey!!! i love these vids when i build new decks or adjust older ones.
Huh, $70 you say? And it's got a decent number of Golgari cards I already have...looks like it might be time for aristocrats deck #2 (if I don't build Zimone and Dina, at least). EDIT: Also, I know it doesn't make Saprolings, but if you want to keep the Altar combo in on a budget, Chatterfang basically does the same thing as Doubling Season/Parallel Lives in this deck - pay 4, make a Saproling, make a Squirrel, sac them both to Altar for 4 mana and deal 1 to everyone, do it again and again and again.
@@rakehen2689 It's a lot of fun, and it's helped me to think more about my position on the board more often, which I'll often forget to do with other decks. By that I mean I'm more consciously puzzling out how big my board is going to get versus how much little guy generation I'm keeping in reserve in my hand, trying to apply just the right amount of pressure. Also built a Slimefoot and Squee deck around the same time. Even though they both kind of care about Saprolings people are much quicker to view S&S as a bigger problem because you can just get so much advantage off of a few different combos of cards, so solo Slimefoot had an easier time flying under the radar a bit more.
I love the inclusion of Evolution Sage over Ashnod's Altar! With Life and Limb and a few spore counter creatures, you basically have another way to combo, and it's more controlled than the one with Sporemound. Nice pick!
I have a Thelon of Havenwood deck, because I’ve always loved Thallids since I started playing way back when. But this video has made me want to try swapping in Slimefoot as the commander and changing the focus a bit.
Played a timespiral remastered draft recently and picked up Thelon, plan to build them over Slimefoot to be more fungus focused but will be checking out these lists for useful cards :)
This was my second deck, and I still love it. It turned into a golgari card draw machine,basically playing keen sense/snake umbra on slimefoot (or Konrad), and also playing everything that draws when stuff dies. I kept drawing so many cards that psychosis crawler, jorael, empyrial plate and inner calm, outer strength are legit wincons. It got even better with plumb the forbidden, and I also don't know how I missed the card reprocess for so many years.
My buddy runs slimefoot and way early on in our playgroup that card would always trounce my mono red Feldon deck! It’s truly fantastic! The incremental yet persistent nature of the card lead me to a lot of interesting plays to try and dodge the effect, since mono red didn’t have much of a way to navigate enchantments beyond the ole chaos warp.
Please do Magus Lucea Kane, she can go tyranid tribal, hydras and big X spells, she’s very versatile and one of you videos would be amazing to give the deck some focus. Thanks for all your videos! 😌
I just updated my old slimefoot deck form a few years ago. A nothing card I added that I'm starting to like more is thristing roots a awbo green common. 1 green, basic to land to hand or proliferate. Gets a land drop if your missing it or spore up the broad more. My friends are getting keen on killing slimefoot now so tyvar's stand is looking better and better now too.
Gift of doom can be a good way to give him indestructible, also regeneration effects are great, and somewhat a thematic fit. Blessing of leeches is great as is just plain regeneration or asceticism.
TLDR: For sure play earthcraft, seedborn muse, chatterfang, some number of natural order/chord of calling effects, cradle/cofffers/urborg/sylvan scrying package and Perilous Forays. I have been playing a Thallid deck since....ohhhhh....1996 or so...Awakening+earthcraft shenanigans for...decades...apparently. Naturally I built an EDH deck with them when the format came around. I started with Rhys, but have recently rolled into Slimefoot...and here is what I can tell you all about our little friend here, assuming you have no eye to budget at least. Note that my deck runs alllll the thallids, so far from optimized, but they still kinda just work out fine. Earthcraft is the biggest card in the deck. By FAR. It is not even close. Not even close to close. Cryptolith rite is trash. I could see running it just for redundancy, but really you shouldnt expect your saprolings to not have summoning sickness typically, Use some tutor to play effects- natural order and chord of calling are the most synergistic, finale of devastation sometimes just doesnt even need to find craterhoof behemoth to alpha strike people- I run those 3 [and a survival of the fittest]. These tutor effects can sometimes find you verdant force or craterhoof, but if i am being real....90% of the time you just get either...of these guys.... SEEDBORN MUSE. Slimefoot + seedborn is just game over if they stick for a couple of untaps. Sometimes Chatterfang is your guy though. Pitiless Plunderer is a must as well. Works really well with Chatterfang [these 2 plus ashnods altar are quasi infinte colorless+ infinite -1/-1 effects+ infinite death triggers] If you have Gaea's Cradle, which you should, you should also play Sylvan scrying AND Coffers+urborg. Usually you sylvan for cradle, but if you have either coffers or urborg already getting the other one gives you a lot more play in getting out again after boardwipes. Slimefoot is totally down for 8 black mana from a coffers, he is less impressed by a cradle tapping for 1-2 mana. If you do this, you should also run Yavimaya as a way of hedging against coffers being dead early game. Some honorable mentions- Champion of Lambholt makes your team unblockable- fast. Skullmulcher and Shamanic Revelation are good card draw options. Eldrazi Monument is a very good offensive and defensive card for this style of deck. Finally a card that I am actually distraught was not discussed in the video, especially as it really isnt terrifically expensive, at all, oddly. Perilous Forays. This card is GAS. Sac outlet, instant speed, and read closely that it gets a land with a basic land TYPE...not a basic land. This lets you run some extra swamp+forest typing duals to help out coffers. Hell, even Witch's Cottage if you feel so inclined [I dont]. As for the video recommendations- I am very against life and limb. It is a cute combo and all, but a cute combo that often just gets all your land killed is....sketchy at best. The enchantments that go on slimefoot are interesting. I could see those maybe working out well particularly in a less thallid based more aristocrats based leaning. Not hot on most of the instants/sorceries that make Saprolings, outside of Fungal Rebirth and Fungal Plots. The convoke ones are ok as well. Gogari Germination, necrogenisis and Night Soil are just bad. Play Deathrite Shaman instead. Saproling Symbiosis, Saproling MIgration, Fungal Sprouting and SEcond Harvest are all just win-more cards. Feel free to dm me for a list anyone!
>"If you have Gaea's Cradle, which you should" My boi here just casually assuming we're all willing and able to drop hundreds of dollars on a single card
@@MeZimm I mean I did state that my recommendations were for non-budget situations. Cradle is one of the highest impact cards available for EDH, and clearly this is the kind of commander where it excels. That said, I think Earthcraft is by far the more important card. Very expensive still yes, but certainly not as much as cradle.
I've had Slimefoot since he came out, and though I've tried other builds with Tana partnered with something else for more colors, I keep finding myself coming back to Slimefoot. Also PLEASE play Plumb The Forbidden. That card absolutely slaps.
Wait a minute there! There is an official guide that tell ppl how to build their own commander deck? I mean if some ppl tell you "that's not how you play / build this commander". I mean... how ppl know how to build/play a deck that you created the way you like it and feel it fun for you.
@@mariksebastianishtarthethi6998 yeah the guide is called top meta cedh net decks apparently if not every deck is just a copy paste of that it's wrong or boring
Challenge for you Joey. Up the Average for the following fun mechanics 1- Firesong and Sunspeaker 2- Kros, Defense Contractor 3- Reaper King 4-Tivit, Seller of Secrets 5-Toothy Imaginary Friend & Pir, Imaginative Rascal 6- Varina Lich Queen
An upping the average on Greasefang would be amazing. While Shorikai is undeniably a better vehicles commander, graveyard shenanigans with vehicles has always seemed more interesting to me
Hey man, I love your videos and I am wondering if you can do a video on Marath, Will of the Wild. It's one of my favorite commanders because of its wide variety of possible strategies, and I think it needs more attention and definitely a high quality deck tech besides The Local Game Guy's hyper expensive CEDH deck list.
This deck was suppose to be just fun fungus friends but then I build it and if 3 of a pool of 12 cards were on the field with slimefoot it would accidentally go infinite. Oops.
Um one of the more newer cards that I think has to eventually be added to this deck is Mirkwood bats it is a great pinger to everyone whenever you create or sacrifice a token
Not for Slimefoot, but just today I stumbled on Helm of the Ghastlord and thought to myself how evil would it be to enchant Syr Konrad, even while missing half the card. These "deals damage" triggers are very dangerous!
I have culling ritual in my slimefoot deck and that card has won me MULTIPLE games I made 18 mana, played veredoloth the ancient and made 18 saporlings and doubled them with doubling season
Hi Joey Your work is amazing Love your video really. Can you please make an upping the average on, Breya, Etherium Shaper this card is so Nice for artifact and the art is just WOW 😮 can you make one about Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder with is cascade is so nice Or Nethroi, Apex of Death and is mutate theme. Those 3 commander are on my top list. Hope see them on your next vidéo. Btw you make a really great job and i Thanks you for that.
I’d love to see Joey make a planeswalker deck since he seems to routinely remove them. He always has great reasons, but still it would be a funny shake up, I think.
i feel like a mention of awakening and seedborn muse lack from this videos, they are powerhouses with slimefoot, using his ability on everyone's turn is awesome, also, removal with convoke like mob are basically free
do you make decklist upgrades for anyone if we send a deck list ? i build a new deck and need help upgrade it but not sure haven't played against other people then myself
A clicker from the last of us ??? More like a bloater from the last of us see in the last of us when you face off against a bloater they throw spore bombs at you that do damage to you well that what’s slimefoot does whenever a saproling dies
Gonna respectfully disagree on adding Sakura Tribe Elder to the deck. It is true that you can play it on T2 and then Slimefoot on T3...but then you're only spending 3 of your 4 available mana on that turn. With a 3 mana commander, I think a one drop elf would be a better add so the potential of a T2 Slimefoot would be in play. It is more fragile than the Elder, but it's still a body that can be recurred and the chump blocker later in the game is also nice.
You dont really plan to play slimefoot on 3, other things to play early game. Playing it early just lets it get removed while its really not doing anything yet.
Last time I played my Slimefoot deck my opponent grew very concerned when I said that I was considering putting more creatures on the board in response to her board wipe.
This was my first commander deck I built and it’s one of my favorites to play.
Ive had my Slimefoot deck for a while and he has grown to be one of my favorites.
same, but since then i have pulled it apart to build others! after this video, i may have to reassemble it!!
Love the slimefoot
You and me both!
Same! But sadly I had to upgrade it to the new slimefoot and squee reanimater deck.
i’ve had a slimefoot sitting around that i’ve wanted to build but have felt pretty uninspired (having just built a golgari sac deck). this video reinspired me and now i’m going to look into building it. awesome video and amazing recommendations as always, joey!!! i love these vids when i build new decks or adjust older ones.
Huh, $70 you say? And it's got a decent number of Golgari cards I already have...looks like it might be time for aristocrats deck #2 (if I don't build Zimone and Dina, at least).
EDIT: Also, I know it doesn't make Saprolings, but if you want to keep the Altar combo in on a budget, Chatterfang basically does the same thing as Doubling Season/Parallel Lives in this deck - pay 4, make a Saproling, make a Squirrel, sac them both to Altar for 4 mana and deal 1 to everyone, do it again and again and again.
Chatterfan is AMAZING in this deck, even if you're not running the combo
Hell yeah I always wanted to make a Slimefoot deck
Addding 'Neko Te' to the decklist might be hopeful, but it essentially doubles the damage output from slimefoot!
yes, been playing this since I built it, and it absolutely slays people
At that budget price, I think I'll be throwing this deck together just to give it a shot, thanks Joey!
Hey! thinking about making the budget version for my fist every deck (i have a precon but wanna make one). How did the budget one work for you??!
@@rakehen2689 It's a lot of fun, and it's helped me to think more about my position on the board more often, which I'll often forget to do with other decks.

Yes! Love this series and awesome episode! Would love to see a pako/haldan or a kardur doomscourge upping the average next!
Cool video and suggestions! I have been playing this since Slimefoot was previewed in Dominaria, and absolutely love the aristocrat effects!
I'm also partial to Liliana, Dreadhorde General. Really nice card draw and when you can get her out after Doubling Season.... That's just mean :)
I love the inclusion of Evolution Sage over Ashnod's Altar! With Life and Limb and a few spore counter creatures, you basically have another way to combo, and it's more controlled than the one with Sporemound. Nice pick!
