No card in this deck has a greater weight than 9. I had to cut lands just to get the deck weight up to 0 (would rather be running 24, replaced a couple with mana-producing two-drops).Update: found a couple of 9-point utility lands I hadn’t been using, so we’re back up to 24 now.
I started looking at the low-weight commanders and The Mycotyrant caught my eye. Friends, it is low for a reason. There are not a lot of Fungi or Saprolings in the format. I decided to mash it up with the Insidious Roots combo deck that never really took off in Standard. Just try to keep things moving in and out of your graveyard. The list probably still needs some tweaking. I would have liked more removal, but didn’t want to run too many non-permanents, since we’re trying to Descend and then recur them.
One of the most interesting lines: cast Lively Dirge, burying a Coati Scavenger, get back the Scavenger and a random one-drop, then get back something else with the Scavenger’s ability.
I won a few games so I guess I can’t complain too loudly, but this didn’t really get me into the kind of match-ups I was hoping for. Still plenty of power on the opponent’s side of the board. But it’s not WotC’s fault if nobody else is out there playing decks like this; I’m sure the algorithm did the best it could. I feel like I had to wait a little longer than usual to find opponents, but still less than a minute.
