The SkitterTide 4.5 (Breakdown Inc.) (EDH / Commander) [Revision 31]

This deck has been refined thoroughly to give it a competitive edge. At the current status my play group has found it will answer every situation.

• use Grist ult then Cast Gravepurge to put 10 plus Creatures back on top to get 10 more loyalty just to ult the damage again..... Food for thought in a 60...

• Any comments or criticism is very welcome and appreciated! Please leave them in the comment section
  also my friendgroup considers this legal Valki is played as only that side. and then with the solifuge I can play it so we consider the mana symbol green and ok

• The idea behind this deck is using Grist and her very powerful ability set to help control board presence while also committing to self mill. The insects all boost mill speed and shockingly enough do synergize together quite well on board I was impressed. the deck being filled with low drop value makes it fairly fast for most commander decks...

• Using removal spells to both control the board as much as potentially fueling your own yard in dire need of 1-2 more creatures to deal that game winning damage with Grist's extremely powerful ult. As it doesn't exile your yard at all. You have cards like loam and patriarchs to bring back a ridiculous board presence and fuel yourself with what you mill. Lets say Grist won't do the job? Then use your board presence to close the gap with deathrite, soliuge, either form of scute. you see my idea!

• Now with Viscera seer and Altar of dementia to snackrifice yourself last second to Grist's ult (Grist counts if you let it die! it still hits the graveyard for a moment no matter if you decide to command zone it) using however many tokens etc to trigger grave count higher cause they enter graveyard for justttt a moment before disapearing. This giving you a potentially huge buff to the damage output last second! (idea taken from rulings on wotc website talking about how it interacts with things)

• Vorenclex shuts down superfriends as much as doubling your output on Grist herself. Additionally stopping things like replicating ring from being of any use. along with things that have scavenge you may do some crazy things.... Scute mob loves this card as much as the beast (my nickname for bloodflies as I chant FTB) using things like agadeems land you may also generate a dumb amount of mana easily to do these things easier.

• Life from the loam is an Incredible mill condition allowing you to pull 0 lands but give yourself mill for the rest of the game, although you would want lands yes. You just dont actually have to get lands back making it beyond usefull. Crucible of worlds also makes it to where you never miss a land drop!

• Lolth is an alternate win con as even 1 insect overflowing into any of your many opponents guarantees that they will take 8 damage MINIMUM from the affair. although when your bigger things hit the field she loses her lust for blood. I still find her VIABLE as most people would be shutting your major threats down unless they already know killing your creatures is much worse then letting them live in this deck

• As I understand it and all the people who have interacted with it at my LGS plural. Or any of the edh tourneys I play at. They all agree the ruling is you aren't aloud to GENERATE mana outside of your colour identity. so things like gitaxian probe and dismember are legal in ANY EDH deck as well as things like solifuge and Valki being legal in this deck. As I understand it thats how the rules work. Everyone I have met agrees. This site is odd for that.

• Obviously I am playtesting the crud out of this to see what it does and needs to do etc...

Please enjoy, leave comments and critiscism. Make your own little unique twists to it! This is my ground up brain baby EDH I want to take to CEDH. used no prebuilds or any sort of blueprints. ALL of this came out of MY own ass.
