You have some flying and trample; why not add Groundswell to your sideboard, or perhaps your main deck? It will boost Pearl Lake Ancient by +5/+5 for only one mana, with the benefit of having instant speed.

I did decide to sideboard both Tormenting Voices, and remove two Harvest Pyres for Lust for War. Do you think that's a good idea?

I do like Festering Wound, but I like the idea of the cordyceps taking over the creatures' minds, just like the real cordyceps fungus. I'm not sure where I'd put Festering Wound, anyways. I was thinking about Pyroclasm, but I also thought that Earthquake would allow me to do extra damage to the player. However, Pyroclasm is a little easier to throw out. I'm really on the fence with this one. Haha. Thanks for the input, buddy.

I accepted the challenge, but it took a few days. I decided to go with more of a cordyceps theme. What do you think?

I love building low mana curve decks. I just posted a new one about an hour ago, where everything is two mana or less.

Nice work. I'm liking the low mana curve, here.

Agreed. I'm glad to see people post decks with original ideas that work, instead of just seeing tribals. I like this deck. Even if it isn't that good of a deck, it's a different type of deck that actually utilizes overlooked cards.

That's how the story goes, bro beans. I've seen some really good decks get attention, and some really bad decks get attention. I've also seen some really good decks that don't get attention.

That is quite brilliant, sir! However, when you cast the zero cost creature, it gets exiled; it doesn't make it to the battlefield. He still would need two more of them.

Yes, that will work with Polymorph; destroy a token with Polymorph, and perhaps you'll be able to pull an Emrakul. However, as KarasBeta said, using an instant or sorcery card to put out a token, it will get exiled due to Possibility Storm, and you'll sift through your library until you find another instant or sorcery. Since Emrakul is a creature spell, and instant or sorcery won't allow you to pull Emrakul.

My point is the token spells won't allow him to pull Emrakul. However, I like your Polymorph idea. Perhaps you can make a deck kinda based off of this one. I like the way you think, sir.

Also, token spells such as Raise the Alarm aren't creature spells. Therefore, they won't allow him to pull Emrakul.

Very true. However, I think he can be a little better off being able to return his own creatures, or his opponent's creatures to their hands. That's not a bad idea, though. You also just made me realize that he will constantly be exiling spells, due to Possibility Storm's ability. I think Crystal Ball would work wonders for you, sir! You need some scrying that doesn't get played from the hand.

Anytime, sir!

I'd say swap out both Cyclonic Rifts, and an Ensoul Artifact. The idea is to bounce your own cards back to your hand; Cyclonic Rift won't allow that, and Ensoul Artifact will be sent to the graveyard if you decide to put Memnite or Ornithoper back in your hand. The overload ability of Cyclonic Rift is pretty cool, but I feel that the mana cost makes it impractical over Faithless Looting.

Hunted Horror, sir!! Hunted Horror!

Fantastic job, sir!!! Perhaps something like Pyretic Ritual to help you get Epiphany Storm on the field more quickly. Also, Vedalken Mastermind would allow you to return any permanent to your hand as you wish. Just a few ideas. Great deck, man.

Thank you, sir!!!

Then I use Psychic Spiral, and mill him!!!

That would be brilliant, but I think infinite combos take away the fun. Also, I want to keep the mana curve pretty low. Good idea though, man. That would really slay some people.
