Surprised Utopia Mycon hasn't been mentioned in this deck tech...the thing is a freaking 1 mana Fungus that lets you sacrifice your Saprolings for COLORED MANA!!!
Hey! So I had the Mycon in the list for a long time, but as we were tuning, I just didn't need the mana as much as I thought I would. There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing the card. It's totally reasonable in this list, but for my version, I just...never really needed it. I know that sounds weird, it was weird to me too, but it's where I ended up! haha
Thank you so much for this deck tech. I pulled slimefoot from an m19 deck builders tool kit ( it was a gift from my brother) and I knew he could be something special, and you helped me make that so. Also another hilarious card for this deck is night dealings. Two black and 2 colorless, for an enchantment that puts theft counters on itself equal to damage your creatures deal to opponents. Pay its mana cost again and remove theft counters equal to the cmc of whatever card you want in the deck and you basically have Diabolical tutor on a stick. It can be pretty slow, but with cryptolith right it is a game ender. This is one of my favorite decks. Thank you.
Saprolings really hit me in the nostalgia so I was just as excited as you to put together a Slimefoot deck as well. I really like the unique way you looked at the Slimefoot damage trigger and it has inspired me to test out a few new things. Keep up the fantastic work and you now have a new subscriber!
When I started with magic I watched your videos Wich helped me a lot! Then I took a pause and now I'm watching your stuff again, and boy oh boy is it good!
for every set ever i have made a commander deck based on something to do with it. dinos for ixalan, eldrazi for zendikar etc. this was always going to be my commander of choice and now you have given me a way to build it that i like. thank you good sir.
The old school player in me also recommends Night Soil (munch through your opponent's graveyard to make Saps), Thorn Thallid (build counters to do direct damage to a target), Fungal Bloom (Mana dump to add more counters to a fungus), and Feral Thallid (6/3 with Regenerate). These are all from Fallen Empires, a very weak set back in the day, but now valued in Commander! Great video, thanks!
As a player who started in Fallen Empires *shudder*, the Saproling theme has always had a great nostalgia factor for me. At Dominaria Pre-Release I got a Slimefoot Promo so I had already felt like I won :D Built a Commander deck (much like Wedge's here) and it's pretty good. Not in a major competitive meta but it can certainly hold it's own and take over if left unchecked, and doesn't feel like a Ghave helmed tokens deck. Razaketh, the Foulblooded is another great win-con for the deck (well, he tutors your other win-cons really)
i was busy building this deck and was coming to a lot of the same cards you put in. Then you pointed out slimefoot deals damage (i know, i know. reading the card explains the card). I am so used to black cards causing lifeloss i didn't even consider to abuse the fact that it's damage. Time to revamp a bit and thanks for this awesome deck tech!!
One tip for when you use Nemata, Grove Guardian: all else being equal, you maximise the combat damage dealt by saprolings if you sacrifice saprolings to with her ability until each one has power equal to the number of saprolings you control. (this is not always possible, but you want the number of saprolings and the power of each saprolings to differ by at most 1).
I still believe Ghave is still stronger because he opens you up to another color and with black you have enough tutors to make slime the pseudo commander and always have access to him
Yeah true true, you two have good points, but i dunno. My group hates out commanders A LOT so it could just be me from a point of view of that slimefoot costs 2 less to cast. Either way i absolutly run slimefoot in my ghave (not like the stowaway is an expensive card anyway.) But when im thinking about what cards the deck has that actually use white, in my build at least, its annointed procesion and i cant think of anything else of the top of my head... but then again saporling decks love their token doublers.
Wedge you beautiful genius, Slimefoot was broken already, but you've made him more broken by allowing him and all these little Saprolings win the game by INFECT!!! And even a MILL option too?!?! SLIMEFOOT IS DISGUSTING AND GROSS! I LOVE IT!!!
This list is really great, but I definitely think cards like Necrogenesis should be considered. Very cheap way to create saps, especially with Altar of Dementia out, and it might help reduce graveyard shenanigans too! Another fantastic card is Growing Rites of Itlimoc, if you reveal a creature from the top 4 of your library it goes into the hand for 2 and a green, then before your turn fully Growing Rites becomes a land that taps for green, or 1 green for EVERY creature you control! Crazy with this deck. Tragic Slip is also a fantastic removal spell in this deck as it's an instant dealing -13/-13 for 1 black if you sack a sap, getting around indestructible too! There are way more cards to consider in this deck too, all up to the player. Personally I like a few more spore counter effects and proliferate effects, but it all depends on what you like.
Love the deck tech video! As soon as I saw Slimefoot I knew I had a new fungus Commander to replace Thelon! Some very nice choices in your deck, slightly different than the one I'm still brewing. Lots of good ideas to help strengthen mine though! Thanks for making such an awesome deck tech!
I just built my own version of this deck since I do not own all the cards currently. I am going to be doing a test run in 5 min over it but so far this is my favorite commander deck i have
I might have to make this. I pulled 2 slimefoots (slimefeet?) already and have been wanting to do a saproling deck for a while now. Awesome deck tech, it looks like a blast. 💚🖤
This is a sweet build! My Slimefoot deck has been running kind of sluggish! Def gonna add some new cards to it! This should def help it speed up a bit!
Slimefoot is one of those Commanders that I would totally build if I hadn't already been playing Rube-Goldberg Ghave with over 50 combos already present in the deck, lol. Slimefoot is easily my favorite uncommon legendary from Dominaria.
❤️ perfect timing! This was on the to do list for today! I also I already had two thirds of those cards in mind for the deck so, again, perfect! thx, great deck! ❤️
Awesome deck Wedge! I think Grave Pact is probably more important than Paradox Engine so thats something I probably would have swapped in the upgrades section
Great deck tech as always! I’ve been having a blast with this deck lately. I like some of the cards you mentioned and will have to test out the alternate win-con in infect.
Little heart ❤ I'm going to proxy this deck out because I have played with my buddies Ghave deck a bunch of times and its fun. This looks fun. I like token shenanigans
Dominaria strictly made saprolings better. Slimefoot along with other cards found a home in my Ghave, Guru of Spores Deck. If we really want to be nastier for saproling uses Razaketh, the Foulblood for your diabolic needs. I'm glad I kept Ghave since day one construction. Next step is getting the schemes for archenemy fun.
I continue to revisit this deck idea and to tweek my build. I based it about 90% off of your list as a starting point. Waiting to invest int he higher end staples that help this deck (Doubling Season, etc.). Would like to report back and let you know how it does!
I'm a gigantic fan of the tainted lands. Tainted woods are amazing in any golgari deck. Also, I love slimefoot, and got some interesting things from this decktech to adapt on my own list. Didn't consider the "deal damage do X" effects on his ability, only thing I thought of was lifelink and that seemed very meh.
I believe that Life and Limb plus Sporemound are an infinite combo unless you sacrifice the Sporemound. Sacrificing saprolings with triggers on the stack won't stop those triggers from resolving, so help me out, what am I missing? Great video as always, keep up the good work!
Slimefoot can be further busted by recently printed cards. Bolas's citadel and wilderness reclaimation are excellent "fair" techniques, but far more importantly you neglected the very concept of an infinite mana generation combo. If you have infinite mana, Slimefoot gives you infinite 1/1s and a sac outlet will end the game. You also missed out on pitiless plunderer and every other death trigger synergy that golgari has under the surface. Slimefoot is definitely worth revisiting. Because you will always have a place to dump your mana, slimefoot is a great answer to decks that rely on artifacts and enchantments sticking around, and even in some cases can shut down creature based strategies with liliana's triumph, dictate of erebos and grave pact.
Thank you for posting the decklist link. I wanted to watch the video, but the attitude you adopted for it was so at odds compared to what I've seen on Game Knights and the LRR Pre-PreRelease that I couldn't keep watching. I am very interested in the deck. I don't have much experience with your content, so I don't know if you adopt a similar "persona" for each video, but at the least I couldn't watch this video due to that reason.
I'm pretty new to magic ( like 3 months new). The gaming store plays a lot of commander, and slimefoot was the first legendary creature I got out of a dominaria pack. I really want to make him my first commander for a commander deck. I can't buy it on TCG for some reason, and it is $258 on card kingdom. I really like the combos In this deck and slime foot in general. This deck might be to difficult for a new player, but i'm sure if I keep playing it I will learn it. I just wish I could find it for the 180-200$ like wedge said.
Bro!! thankyou for this and for all the awesome shiz you do my man.. Ive been wanting to build a saproling deck.. no idea where to start... sat down to do some research and watched this video first and thats all i needed.. thank you so very much, my friends are going to hate me :-D THALLID SALAD
This is one of my favorite Commander decks right now. I hope you enjoy it!
BATTLEBOND COMMANDER DECK TECHS COMING AT YOU THIS WEEK!
TheManaSource Love it! This is right up my alley. Move over Maren.

Next time your on game knights can you use this deck please

Fair enough....just seemed weird to not see it is all
But you put Ashnods Alter in, which is kind of similar
ashnods altar just commically infinites with slimefoot and a token doubler, i think that's the only reason for the include
Ahhh that makes sense now!
Wow! This deck should be called "Damn nature, you scary"
That thing come near mah house, i keel it.

You went in some directions i hadn't considered, thank you.
Wedge! Great deck! And it's FANTASTIC to see your smiling face again! Glad to see you're doing better, we missed you!
Thank you so much for this Wedge. I have been trying to make a Slimefoot deck and missed a few of these cards.
Love the video! The second Slimefoot was spoiled I knew I had to make this deck! It's quickly become one of favorite commander decks I own.
The old school player in me also recommends Night Soil (munch through your opponent's graveyard to make Saps), Thorn Thallid (build counters to do direct damage to a target), Fungal Bloom (Mana dump to add more counters to a fungus), and Feral Thallid (6/3 with Regenerate). These are all from Fallen Empires, a very weak set back in the day, but now valued in Commander! Great video, thanks!
These cards are so cool!!! Especially love the multiple different artwork!
This is beautiful Wedge, I love it! I have a Slimefoot brawl where basically I just magical christmasland Azor's Gateway but this is much better
Oh it’s beautiful- Director Krennic looking at the the Death Star destroying Jedha and you destroying your table and friendships

I've been racking my mind trying to think of how to make a good slimefoot deck. Thanks Wedge!❤️
I'm really happy to see you making lots of videos again, I missed you in the past months but you are back! :D
I've been building a Slimefoot deck since he was spoiled, and you had some awesome cards in here I hadn't considered yet! :D keep being awesome Wedge
One tip for when you use Nemata, Grove Guardian: all else being equal, you maximise the combat damage dealt by saprolings if you sacrifice saprolings to with her ability until each one has power equal to the number of saprolings you control.
(this is not always possible, but you want the number of saprolings and the power of each saprolings to differ by at most 1).
I made a Ghave, Guru of Spores deck that functions very much like what you've got here! I haven't gotten to play it yet but I'm pretty excited to.
Sweet deck Wedge! I'm sure you're already aware of it, but Sprout Swarm also goes infinite with Paradox Engine because of course it does.
Awesome. Pls do more vids like that Wedge. Greatings from Germany.
I still believe Ghave is still stronger because he opens you up to another color and with black you have enough tutors to make slime the pseudo commander and always have access to him
Slimefoot is a wincon in a Ghave deck. I would argue that Ghave is the better commander overall.
Yeah true true, you two have good points, but i dunno. My group hates out commanders A LOT so it could just be me from a point of view of that slimefoot costs 2 less to cast. Either way i absolutly run slimefoot in my ghave (not like the stowaway is an expensive card anyway.) But when im thinking about what cards the deck has that actually use white, in my build at least, its annointed procesion and i cant think of anything else of the top of my head... but then again saporling decks love their token doublers.
Plus, unlike Ghave, he actually *has* helmed before. Fugue is best pilot.
WEDGE! You should do a commander Deck Tech for every legend in Dominaria!
If nothing else, think of the ad revenue you'll get.
Jumbo Commander is doing this! They're both cool cats.
omg challenge accepted
Especially hyped for YARGLE!
Wow 3 whole dollars!
Jack Seiffert Three whole dollars per video, times how many legends? It will add up. Not sure it will justify that many videos, though.
Wedge you beautiful genius, Slimefoot was broken already, but you've made him more broken by allowing him and all these little Saprolings win the game by INFECT!!! And even a MILL option too?!?!
SLIMEFOOT IS DISGUSTING AND GROSS!
I LOVE IT!!!
The most interesting and unique Golgari deck I've seen, really cool

LOVE Slimefoot. LOVE this build. Fantastic!
Love this deck man! I added a Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider and he does work!
I might have to make this. I pulled 2 slimefoots (slimefeet?) already and have been wanting to do a saproling deck for a while now. Awesome deck tech, it looks like a blast. 💚🖤
been thinking up ways to make slimefoot and just fell in love with your deck tech I will build this
This is a sweet build! My Slimefoot deck has been running kind of sluggish! Def gonna add some new cards to it! This should def help it speed up a bit!
Firesong and Sunspeaker please.
Cthulhu YAAAAAAAAAS
I know a friend who will LOVE this deck! Thanks Wedge
Slimefoot is one of those Commanders that I would totally build if I hadn't already been playing Rube-Goldberg Ghave with over 50 combos already present in the deck, lol. Slimefoot is easily my favorite uncommon legendary from Dominaria.

Great deck tech as always! I’ve been having a blast with this deck lately. I like some of the cards you mentioned and will have to test out the alternate win-con in infect.
I was going to build a Slimefoot deck on my own. I may just steal most of this. So good.
Love it! Already had fungus tribal, but now it's actually GOOD?! Mind blown... ❤
Little heart ❤
I'm going to proxy this deck out because I have played with my buddies Ghave deck a bunch of times and its fun. This looks fun. I like token shenanigans
Thank RUclips so much wedge. I love this deck so much :)
I built a slimefoot deck a few weeks ago. add phyresis just in case you need a back up infect card next to grafted exoskeleton.
Always happy to see deck-techs for the best format EDH
Dominaria strictly made saprolings better. Slimefoot along with other cards found a home in my Ghave, Guru of Spores Deck. If we really want to be nastier for saproling uses Razaketh, the Foulblood for your diabolic needs. I'm glad I kept Ghave since day one construction. Next step is getting the schemes for archenemy fun.
That love and rotten mushrooms comment really caught me off guard. Nice one!
I absolutely love this deck. Wedge you are a genius
Wedge as always amazing video.
I can't express how much I love seeing your new content from you!
I continue to revisit this deck idea and to tweek my build. I based it about 90% off of your list as a starting point. Waiting to invest int he higher end staples that help this deck (Doubling Season, etc.). Would like to report back and let you know how it does!
Awesome! Love this simple yet effective build.
Slimefoot looks like a lot of fun! A little sad that I already challenged my buddy to build him as a throwback already.
♥ Gonna build this, thanks Wedge!
I'm a gigantic fan of the tainted lands. Tainted woods are amazing in any golgari deck.
Also, I love slimefoot, and got some interesting things from this decktech to adapt on my own list. Didn't consider the "deal damage do X" effects on his ability, only thing I thought of was lifelink and that seemed very meh.
❤️ Your videos are fantastic! I love your emotion when explaining cards and their purpose.
I believe that Life and Limb plus Sporemound are an infinite combo unless you sacrifice the Sporemound. Sacrificing saprolings with triggers on the stack won't stop those triggers from resolving, so help me out, what am I missing?
Great video as always, keep up the good work!
Oh, here's your heart.
💜 We want more commander deck techs! God I love these!!!
Wedge love to see you play this deck against the command zone guys
Love it! I’ve been playing a similar list and highly recommend Ophiomancer. Definitely my favourite deck at the moment. ❤️
You sir are a evil evil man and this deck is plain out dirty. I like it :D
Slimefoot can be further busted by recently printed cards. Bolas's citadel and wilderness reclaimation are excellent "fair" techniques, but far more importantly you neglected the very concept of an infinite mana generation combo.

Avenger of Zendikar goes with spore mound and that card that makes a land in addition to their types so more synergy to that
Sacrifice decks drive me nuts but this looks like it'd put a well-built Meren to shame. Great Decktech, Wedge!
Thank you for posting the decklist link. I wanted to watch the video, but the attitude you adopted for it was so at odds compared to what I've seen on Game Knights and the LRR Pre-PreRelease that I couldn't keep watching.

this actually looks like one of if not the best synergy in a commander deck ive ever seen
I just sent this to a friend who is trying to brew Slimefoot, thanks for the great ideas! ❤
❤ this was super cool wedge! I'd love to see your take on the new Squee!
This is what will replace My hapatra deck 😁👍 thanks for the deck list 😊
More of these long videos with jokes and puns sprinkled all over. That's what i wanna order at wedge's magical ice cream shop.
❤I'm only just getting into commander this but this deck has me excited :)
I LOVE THIS NASTY GREEN DRAINER. WEDGE, U ROCK!
thanks wedge for this amazing list, I was waiting for this a long time. you rock
I really like this deck, and i would love to play it. It really shows that you dont need the most expensive deck to win
As soon as I got Mr. Slimefoot I immediately threw him into my Ghave deck. So sickkk.
Tap a green creature for the green Mana in convoke. Don't need any open Mana for sprout swarm...just a lot of creatures
didn't think of the infect or draw potential with enchantments/ equipment on slimefoot definitely a helpful inculde
One of my favorite vids - thanks Wedge!
PS - Life and Limb + Sporemound = infinite tokens.
"The last thing you want in your McDonald's lettuce, is somebody else's foot fungus..."
I was already making this deck but you sold me Wedge!
I'm Going to build this as soon as I possibly can!
Wow..... amazing dech tech....long time viewer... Love the Channel
♥️ Always love your deck techs the most. You’re so happy and the decks are amazing. No more worst cards videos for the rest of your life Good Sir.
I'm pretty new to magic ( like 3 months new). The gaming store plays a lot of commander, and slimefoot was the first legendary creature I got out of a dominaria pack.

convoke can tap creatures of the same color, to pay for the mana cost as well, so 5 saps is a free sap
♥️ I love this deck tech! Keep up the good work Wedge!
Man, well thought out and damn playable. ❤️
I fear no man...but this deck scares me. Well done Wedge, well done.
This deck is super sick im building it for sure way better then the other decks i saw
I play with slimefoot and my deck is no where near this good. Love this video!!
Such a cool deck. Thanks for sharing
