ANALYSIS

Overview:

This Jund (B/R/G) deck helmed by Slimefoot and Squee leverages persistent recursion and sacrifice synergies to generate overwhelming value. The strategy revolves around recurring key creatures from the graveyard using the commander's ability while generating Saproling tokens to fuel sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment and Ashnod's Altar. The deck aims to win through aristocrat drain effects (Zulaport Cutthroat, Blood Artist), token overruns (Craterhoof Behemoth, Gruff Triplets), or infinite loops with Pitiless Plunderer/sacrifice outlets. Slimefoot and Squee act as both an engine (reanimating combo pieces like Yawgmoth, Thran Physician) and a value generator, with their Saproling creation enabling sacrifice triggers even if removed.


Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

  1. Early Setup (Turns 1-3): Ramp with Ignoble Hierarch, Llanowar Elves, or Farseek. Deploy token generators like Tendershoot Dryad or Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia.
  2. Value Engine Activation (Turns 4-5): Cast Slimefoot and Squee to begin recurring key pieces (e.g., Pitiless Plunderer, Mayhem Devil). Sacrifice Saprolings to Altar of Dementia or Ashnod's Altar for mana/triggers.
  3. Combo/Lock Assembly (Turns 5-7):
    • Infinite Mana/Triggers: Pitiless Plunderer + Ashnod's Altar + free sac outlet (Viscera Seer) creates infinite treasures and death triggers.
    • Mill Win: Altar of Dementia + Gruff Triplets (with death counters) mills the table.
    • Overrun: Craterhoof Behemoth or The Meathook Massacre with a wide board.

Mulligan Priorities:

  • Keep hands with 2-3 lands (including B/R/G sources).
  • Prioritize early ramp (Sol Ring, Ignoble Hierarch) or a sacrifice outlet (Carrion Feeder).
  • Look for enablers like Skullclamp or Dark Prophecy to maintain card flow.

Key Tips:

  • Use Yawgmoth, Thran Physician to convert Saprolings into card draw and -1/-1 counters.
  • Recur Eternal Witness with Slimefoot and Squee to rebuy key spells.
  • Heroic Intervention protects against board wipes during critical turns.

Weaknesses:

Critical

  • Graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) cripples recursion and combo lines.
  • Enchantment removal disrupts critical engines (Bastion of Remembrance, Golgari Germination).

Moderate

  • Fast combo decks can outpace this deck's setup time.
  • Torpor Orb nullifies ETB effects from Ravenous Chupacabra and Eternal Witness.

Minor

  • Limited stack interaction (only 5 counterspell/protection effects).
  • High dependency on creatures makes it vulnerable to repeated board wipes.

Most Important Cards:

  • Pitiless Plunderer (Infinite treasure engine with sac outlets)
  • Ashnod's Altar (Mana generation, combo enabler)
  • Slimefoot and Squee (Recurrence engine and token generator)
  • Yawgmoth, Thran Physician (Card draw, sac outlet, removal)
  • Craterhoof Behemoth (Primary combat finisher)
  • Zulaport Cutthroat (Aristocrat drain cornerstone)
  • Altar of Dementia (Mill wincon and sac outlet)
  • The Meathook Massacre (Board wipe + drain synergy)
  • Golgari Germination (Token generation on creature death)
  • Skullclamp (Card draw from Saprolings)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Can threaten wins via combat or combo by turns 6-8, but lacks fast mana to consistently go faster.

Resilience: 7/10
Strong recursion (commander, Fungal Rebirth) and redundancy in sac outlets mitigate removal, but folds to grave hate.

Consistency: 7/10
12 tutors/draw engines (Sylvan Library, Deadly Dispute) find key pieces, but some combos require 3-card setups.

Interaction: 5/10
Targeted removal (Assassin's Trophy, Chaos Warp) and board wipes (Toxic Deluge), but minimal counterspells.


Rating Justification:

This deck operates in the T7-8 win range with multiple synergistic paths but lacks the speed and protection of higher-tier lists. Its resilience through recursion and redundancy elevates it above casual builds, placing it firmly in optimized casual tiers.

Power level: 5.5 - 6.0
