I've been playing a very successful mono-black Viper deck with a discard-control package. Hopeless Nightmare and Nezumi Informant discard from the opponent, Mephitic Drought draws on play and sacrifice, and Tithing Blade forces a sacrifice, then hangs out to be a sacrifice fodder. I have 2 Coiling Rebirth at the top end, in case they kill a viper.
Very nice! That's probably the most common way to use it, get some discard ETBs just to sac them later for the viper with their depleted hands... chef's kiss! I did want to try something different off the walls and it's pretty gimmicky but I like it esp with the haste! Assume you also run Braids and the like? I'm sure that's nasty :)
@@ManaManMTG Nope, no braids. Here's the list: Deck 4 Rottenmouth Viper (BLB) 107 4 Bandit's Talent (BLB) 83 3 Liliana of the Veil (DMU) 97 22 Swamp (BLB) 374 4 Tithing Blade (LCI) 128 4 Mephitic Draught (LCI) 112 4 Hopeless Nightmare (WOE) 95 4 Nezumi Informant (MOM) 120 3 Cut Down (DMU) 89 4 Go for the Throat (BRO) 102 1 Mirrex (ONE) 254 1 Mishra's Foundry (BRO) 265 2 Coiling Rebirth (BLB) 86 It's very budget-friendly and I trick people into discarding their removal spells by not playing any other must-kill creatures. People think that it's a discard deck based on Bandit's Talent, not a Viper list, so they tend to devalue their removal over their own wincons when making discard decisions. The deck is literally just 19 discard cards, 14 removal cards, and 4 draw cards, with lands. It's absolutely gross. The one weakness is planeswalkers and that Golgari midrange list with both PWs and the anti-discard beast. Best part is, it basically farms most aggro lists.
@@MoonWatcher. I feel like coiling rebirth has some untapped potential, and it receives no love! Might as well start with the snake, only seems fitting lol I’d be surprised if this was the last time I used it 🥳
@ManaManMTG Rubblebelt Maverick Insidious Roots engine. I have added a lot of graveyard retrieval, drown in icor, 2 clankerboom, and some mill creatures. Get roots out attack with or sac rubblebelt use tokens to drop Viper. Still fine tuning it for faster turnout, but it is pretty good.
Never thought about reanimating the viper. Very nice. I don't have all these cards, but it would be fun to try
It’s definitely gimmicky. I wouldn’t blow resources to craft it but it’s definitely a load of fun when it works 🥳

@@thesarcasticliberal I like this a lot. Simple and straight forward! Kudos 🥳
Reanimating the viper is such a cool idea, and Coiling Rebirth is such a cool card for that, wish I had any copies of it at all.

Do this with caretaker's talent and now you have 3 vipers XD
Now that's TOO evil!! haha that would be absolutely insane... maybe a mardu build I don't hate the idea :)
That viper is the most annoying card from Bloomburrow.
@@matthewp2209 lol my vote is Beza but it’s definitely annoying!
You clearly haven't seen caretakers talent...
@@kingdomkeygames caretaker’s talent is nauseating!!!
Not even remotely close, its by far the stupid 1 mana deal 15 dmg mouse
Somebody coiling rebirthed the viper against me in sealed… it was brutal
@@YoungFire17 noooooo 🤣 I imagine in sealed that’s a showstopper! How’d they set it up or just classic hard cast?
Running roots, black/green, proliferate viper.
Roots as in insidious roots? How does it work? Proliferating the viper? 0.o

@ManaManMTG Yes, if you proliferate the viper it's game over.
@@uJarGamer nice! I guess I wasn’t sure how you’d proliferate the counters on the viper but drown in ichor is a nice touch 👍
@ManaManMTG also thirsting roots and vat emergence.
You look like Henry Cavill kind of 😮
Hey that’s a first but I’ll gladly take it - thank you! 🥳
Rest in peace would destroy this deck 😅 but it looks fun!
I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen rest in peace main’d in Bo1 but you’re definitely not wrong. Glad I didn’t see it! 🤣
