Deck discussion for Kaboom! Control

Astral Cornucopia and Everflowing Chalice play into the proliferate plan and ramp you into playing Myojin of Cleansing Fire easier. Especially the Cornucopia as that one adds colour mana.

Indeed. I will see if I can add those.

Way too much proliferate and basically nothing else ... how is this supposed to survive until the Myojin hits play!? And without it, most of your other cards are useless. Even if you manage to get him into play and the counters flowing - all it does is wiping creatures. A single problematic enchantment or artifact and you can't win.

This needs overhaul - either ditch the majority of proliferate cards and replace them with actually helpful cards or build secondary engines around them that make good use of proliferate early on (preferably cards that help you survive and setting up). Cards like Clearwater Goblet could grant you serious amounts of life, Mindless Automaton gives you cards etc. And check out Dovin Baan.
Also, consider Larry Niven's Disk - it would provide you with a true board wipe that doesn't touch your planeswalkers.

I can only agree to what Puschkin said: That the deck lacks a strategy of staying alive until you're able to execute your plan, based around Myojin of Cleansing Fire (which isn't a bad plan). Personally I would nevertheless add some protection. because exile or -x/-x doesn't protect your finisher from being removed.

White and blue offers some good proliferate cards:
Callous Dismissal ... Basically a Unsummon that gives you a 0/0 with a +1/+1 counter, so it can either be used as as chump-blocker or can profit from proliferate long-term.
Unbreakable Formation ... indestructible for all your creatures and +1/+1 counters and vigilance when you cast it in your main phase. Sure your opponnent will see what is coming at him, but this won't help him much when you use Myojin of Cleansing Fire's ability.
Prison Realm/ Oblivion Ring/ Journey to Nowhere ... simple but effective exile removal. Ring is probably the most versatile, while Realm lets you scry and and Journey is cheap.

But green also has some very interesting ones, and it would also give you access to ramp (Rampant Growth):
Pollenbright Druid ...can be used as chump-blocker early on or to proliferate when played late.
Servant of the Scale/ Star Pupil ... those creatures let you move their +1/+1 counters to another creature when they die. So when you mass-remove all your creatures, your Myojin of Cleansing Fire could be able to finish your opponent with one or two big blows.
Scrounging Bandar/ Barkhide Troll ... creatures I would call "simple counter preservers". Bandar has the advantage of being able to move it's counters to another creature, but only at the beginning in your upkeep. The Troll is a little tougher and able to give itself hexproof.
Snakeskin Veil ... hexproof and a +1/+1 counter for 1 mana

Oh and a single [noparse]Clockspinning [/noparse] can keep a Myojin going forever. Adding this would free up space because you can go with fewer proliferte cards.
Damnit, how do I link the cards?

Add two rectangular brackets before and after the cardname: [[Cardname]]

That should be in the FAQ. The sticky forum post is outdated.
Okay then, Clockspinning
EDIT: Nope ...

ok, dang... I didn't expect this deck to be particularly popular.

that being said, thanks for the suggestions. I will tweak this, and I like the comments that have been given already. please, keep the ideas coming.

@ Pushkin

sure, I would appreciate some feedback on a few things. my brother and I have been working on a series of decks designed to introduce new players to MTG, one deck based on each color, and attempting to be simple and easy to play, while still adhering to the core of what that color IS within MTG.

deck names are:
mono white newbie
mono red newbie
mono black newbie
mono green newbie
mono blue newbie

all of which have the tag Beginner. so they should be easy to find.
the idea is to have a set of decks roughly at parity with each other that are simple to understand and fairly cheap to build (limit to only a few rares + mythics etc...) and nothing too broken.

another deck I could use some suggestions on, but I don't currently have listed is this one:
https://www.mtgvault.com/kazzong/decks/trostanis-authority/

and if you want a good laugh you should check out this one:
https://www.mtgvault.com/kazzong/decks/worst-turn-0-deck-ever/
it really is an abomination but... it technically works... ;p



@wickeddarkman

I suppose it wouldn't hurt. I am always willing to help people out. although I am not exactly a world class deck builder, I can give newer players solid advice.

yeah, like I said look at that one for a good laugh because of how absurd it is: a 6 card combo that only happens in happy-christmas-land and is completely unrealistic in every way, shape, and form.

it was more of a challenge to see if you could technically win on turn 0 without using 60 chancellor of the dross, and specifically using chancellor of the spires, as there are very few cards that allow you to DO anything, much less win, on the first upkeep. too bad I needed an Un-card to do it.

I don't normally build decks like that. I had a goofy idea and ran with it because the fact it was possible was funny.

if you want a better idea of how I build decks, check out my Defender deck.
https://www.mtgvault.com/kazzong/decks/defender-deck/

well built, streamlined deck that practically plays itself. It is the most liked, most commented on, and most popular (in terms of views) Defender deck on the vault. reading through the comments should give you an idea of how the deck started and how it ended up the way it is now.

was going to give another example but I realized I have not actually imported my deck list from Arena for it... but it is a colorless deck built around forsaken monument, ugin, and ulamog. (it is a historic deck on arena.)
