Man be rough if someone played blood moon

Man be rough if someone played blood moon

That's why we play counterspells and removals
BTW Blood Moon can be useless if our dorks are already on the battlefield. Generally speaking that effect Is super strong against mostly all competitive decks that are 2 or more colors.

I don't know why you wouldn't add morophon

[MrPonzi]

Morophon's CMC is too high for what it does. Generally speaking if I have to cast something that big, it should let me win (IE: Ad Nauseam / Peer Into The Abyss).

If you're aiming at a less competitive meta, just slide it in

I put morophon in mine and win the turn he comes out which is often turn 5 and has been as quick as turn 3. still beats "CEDH" decks regularly and mine isn't for comp.

Can you describe a situation when you put morophon out turn 5 and win in the same turn? I'm curious about It!

[seadaddypatty]

yeah, any good rocks with running tutors for creatures or vampiric tutor or anything of the sort. gonna need essentially 2 creatures but I feel like  it hasn't really failed me that often. run 44 lands to clear your cascade triggers and essentially you get to (Morophon, first sliver and hibernation sliver) pretty quick. you also have your commander just incase you couldn't get to it and you can have it by turn 6 instead with things like training grounds out it can still be turn 5. also cryptolith rites and mana slivers make it a turn quicker. make sure you put suspend rocks and cool free cast suspend stuff in that is 4 or less cause it removes suspend counters and hard casts it off cascade. I spent about 3 years making one that does this and it seemingly does good even against control cause your stuff doesn't appear as threatening at a cedh table but it's you playing your whole deck in 1 turn with slivers that do what slivers do lol. I don't even run the queen cause she doesn't align with the goal.

I know how to play a card some turns earlier but you said you win when morophon hits the floor. I'll ask you again: can you explain to me how? You said you run 44 lands... It doesn't feel consistent to me. If you have a list feel free to share, or if you want to discuss it in our Sliver discord, feel free to join

Question: Why do you include Dormant Sliver in the deck? Would that not make all of your slivers unable to attack?

True, but when performing a combo, you can always sac it for Basal Sliver ability. But generally, if you combo off, you don't need to attack.
