psionictemplar THANK YOU FOR THE INPUT!!! I greatly appreciate it!!!!

You are correct! The main win con is to never let your opponent play another turn. That being said the deck does need an alt win con. Something I am working towards. As of right now this iteration is just me vomiting my thoughts into 60 cards! I have another brain child in a deck that uses a similar method to lock an opponent out but it does very well at winning alternatively (in Izzet). This iteration is probably a little light on interaction. Most combo decks I run about 6 pieces of protection or interaction as statistically that should produce at least 1 by turn 3.

Simic Ascendancy is a brilliant win-con alternative. Excellent suggestion! And your suggestion of The Ozolith as an excellent form of protection as well. Keeping the counters around to hopefully use them later is a great way to steal a game out of no where!

It may be worth exploring the deck as more of a creatures toolbox kit with some interesting lines for winning. I've always wanted to figure out a way to break Sage of Hours and more recently Jackal, Genius Geneticist. This shell may be a good starting place for both!!!

If you haven't noticed this is my favorite part of MTG. The brewing!!!

I'll work on the mana base once I have a decent deck outlined. Just trying to keep track of pip ratios at this point! I'll probably end up with some combo of Botanical Sanctum, Breeding Pool, Dreamroot Cascade, and Yavimaya Coast with a few basics for those pesky land destruction decks.

THANK YOU for taking the time to contribute!

Done. Will try it out at soonest opportunity. Now I just need a more original name for this thing. And a sideboard.

Any thoughts on Diregraf Horde instead of Gray Merchant of Asphodel? I think you have enough direct life loss with the Gempalm Polluters and Shepherd of Rots, and the Horde offers three bodies to support those cards, or fodder for Corrupted Conviction and Village Rites for a final push.

Always discard. Can't hurt me if you got nothing to hurt me with. And since there's enough discard, discard punishers, and small-hand punishers, I'm going to in a Locust Miser direction.

Each player's maximum hand size is three.

Wild. If you need ideas, here's a randomizer. All rolls are six-sided dice (d6).

First roll is mana value.

Second roll is color. 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-multicolor, roll again twice.

Third roll is card type. 1-creature, 2-instant, 3-sorcery, 4-enchantment, 5-artifact, 6-your choice.

Fourth roll is effect. 1-removal, 2-noncombat wincon (burn, mill, "you win the game", etc.), 3-scry/surveil, 4-combat pump/buff, 5-resource gain (ramp, lifegain, draw, etc.), 6-your choice.

Now that I think of it, I could probably add a browser extension as well.

RufusTheGrufus, I hate to be the well,

guy but to be a Bracket 3 deck the maximum number of game changers you can have in the deck is 3. Reference is the official Wizards site Commander Format: Game Changers. Other than that, I do like your take on Anikthea. I'll definitely be referencing it for any ideas as I to am a bit of a Anikthea enthusiast myself.

Icbrgr, thank you! I was really worried that my browser was secretly lying to me and the page looked horrible lol. At Wihito's suggestion, I turn most of the css coding off for mobile devices. I don't want this deckpage to be a resource hog for small screens.

consider adding - world map, expedition map, urborg tomb of yawgmoth, fierce guardian ship, wrench mind, smallpox, mind grind, mind funeral

Making a non-legendary copy of Lonis opens the door for some crazy possibilities since the Lonises could target each other. Even goes infinite if you have an artifact sac outlet like Grinding Station.

I love watching folks crack packs and do deck techs. Your deck gets a +1, deck cycle, and a subscribe on Youtube. Question - do you play games online? I play on both Convoke and Spelltable. Might be a fun source of content to have tappedout exclusive games.

Mortlocke on How Did Atraxa Fall So …

Hey Venum, You are preaching to the choir regarding your points about Atraxa. As for poison, the table banding together once you assemble a dangerous enough boardstate is a natural progression of playing the archetype. I carefully assembled and pilot "that Atraxa deck" - I think that when the table or even one player makes it their mission stop you it should be received as a high compliment. It means you're doing something right, some decks are naturally going to be the Bolas at the table and that's fine - as long as everyone at the table agrees as according to the meta and the bracket system. On that same note - yes, I also assembled and pilot "that Sliver deck". What can I say? I have a type :)

Separately, what have you been brewing up lately? Also do you play online at all? I play on both Spelltable and Convoke. I'm always down for a game.
