[EDH / Commander] Muldrotha, the Gravetide - Nighthowling

Muldrotha, the Gravetide - Nighthowling

Fill the graveyard with creatures and close the game with Nighthowler and Wreath of Geists effects.  I'm trying to keep the deck moderately priced around $150 or less.  The deck relies heavily on creatures where possible.  For example, it plays Caustic Caterpillar over the staple Seal of Primordial.

I appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks!

Hey,

some suggestions:
1. Clean up the land base. Muldrotha already isn't fast, because of her high cmc. The amount of tapped lands you play even delay you futher.
2. add some more mana ramp. With step 1 done, you'll end up with more basics (or raising the budget). Add some more ramp then, for colorfixing and acceleration.
3. don't be greedy. Cards like Mirror-Mad Phantasm are a big gamble. They can give you a big advantage if used right, but a big selfmill followed by an opponents graveyard hate could break your neck. I prefere cards like Monastery Siege or Sultai Ascendancy here. They are slower but gives you more control over which and how many cards go into your graveyard.

I've got a muldrotha deck myself, buildrestriction was 100 permanents (so that I can get everything back. It is build on a higher budget, but maybe you'll find some cards that fit into your deck.

Hey Judaspriester,

Thanks for the suggestions and sharing your deck list.  I hadn't seen Aid from the Cowl before.  That card is making v2.

Added a bit more ramp and swapped out some of the slower lands.  Also, traded out cards to focus on the Nighthowler / Bonehoard theme.

I decided the $150 deck cost was dumb.  So, I added the shock and fetch lands.  This looks more fun.
