Slugs are Better than Friends | Toxrill the Corrosive | EDH | Commander | Magic the Gathering 

Finally a Dimir deck that I like that isn’t mill 😌

Having played with Toxrill, I've noticed a number of things: + Proliferate is unnecessary. Things will be dead in no time, even without it. Maybe a Karn's Bastion, if you really really want to. But don't waste any spell or creature slots. + You are very, very vulnerable until Toxrill is out. If you can run Propaganda, No Mercy, or Aetherspouts, highly recommended. Toxrill's cost is what makes him "fair." + The first time folks are exposed to Toxy, they won't know how it works. Once it gets going, however...from then on, your friends will fully know how it works and will want to do everything to prevent it. + I run a lot of mana. I play Crypt Ghast and Nirkana Revenant, plus Cabal Coffers and Urborg. None of these are budget. Leaden Myr is a good budget choice, as is Dark Ritual. + I run a lot of protection, too. Almost all protection spells are budget. Alexi's Cloak, Feign Death, Kaya's Ghostform, Lazotep Plating, Mirror Shield, Supernatural Stamina, Undying Evil, and You See a Guard Approach are all good budget cards to consider. Overall, because of the one-note-ness of Toxrill, I wonder about how much longer the deck will be playable before every game becomes more or less the same. I'm not there yet, but I can see that moment at some not too distant point in the future.

My lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently $2.19 for my Commander 2017 printing.

I'm playing Toxrill in MTGA, historic brawl. It cracks me UP when it straight up wipes the board.

They day after I purchased my deck build this video is released. Oh well I got most picks to match this though mine is a little different. One thing you might think of is replicating ring it's usually a pretty terrible card because of the time it takes to ultimate but with proliferate triggers we can ultimate it much faster than most people are prepared to deal with. Also the proliferate triggers allow us to add hidden Voltron synergy seeing as toxrill is already a 7/7 adding equipment and proliferate triggers means he can get massive very quickly giving him a second win con without taking away from the decks main build strategy. Westgate regent also does this very well with the proliferate triggers.

Coming in clutch Mitch!!! was litterally waiting for this

A really nice card thats pretty cheap that i think would do well is Diplomatic Immunity. It is an enchantment that has shroud and gives enchanted creature shroud. Its really good protection and because the deck focuses on Toxrill's ability and not targeting it, I think it would be a good addition. Its also fairly budget being only $1.00 on TCG player.

Lol just built the deck yesterday. Thanks Mitch.

Gisa, meathook massacre, Revel in Riches, black market, massacre worm, and blood artist are great upgrades to Toxril. You're also in blue so any copy spells are also amazing.

I hope this deck gets a break the bank video as well!

I wanna say thank you to the patreons finally the video I been waiting for

I actually made a deck around this guy as SOON as I saw him . My second fav commander all time.

Pulled an alt art Toxrill in our Vow draft, looks like I might need to build this deck. Great job!

Interesting build. Most Toxrill decks seem to go more creature heavy. Anyway, want a fun little combo? Run Urborg and a card called Kormus Bell.

Im so happy that you make videos on budget decks. Helps a student like me a lot.

Well of course. Friends are temporarily, the Snail is *immortal* .😜

It arrived, now sleeving and have fun 🔥

I would love to see a break the bank video for Toxrill the Corrosive. Please Mitch!

ive been waiting for this for soooo long

Can't wait to see how you've built this Toxrill deck Mitch!

It's also important to note that Sludge Monster makes those 1/1 Slugs into 2/2's if you don't have anything to target on your opponents field. It's not a huge power buff, but having 12 power on board instead of 6 is always a fun time!

I thought about making this slug but decided against it for my friends’ sake.

Thanks for this.

I'm in love with this deck

Looking forward to a break the bank version

Saw thumbnail, so havent watched totally. Saw toxrill and asap wanted to build him, had tezzerits in my binder and realised proliferate is pretty strong to build into. Think I got 9 or so proliferates in the deck.

PERFECT!!!

Lovely. Been looking for something to do with toxril and sludge monster. this would not be fun to play against for sure. Though I'm tempted to put them in Muldrotha with Umbris too to ramp, cast, and recast

There is actually one more card that deals with Slime Counters and it was from OG Innistrad (Set), Gutter Grime 4G Enchantment Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, put a slime counter on Gutter Grime, then create a green Ooze creature token with “This creature’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of slime counters on Gutter Grime.”

It's not a budget card, but Forbidden Orchard is an amusing tech in this deck. Give people spirits that will die almost immediately.

perfect carseat headrest reference

I've played my Toxrill (who I got the pre-release version of from a pack) in a few different groups and pods and never have I seen something or someone get targeted down as hard as I have with Toxrill. From zapping him a turn after he enters to spending big spells to destroy all my mana rocks. Gotta find a really good way to protect him.

Big fan of inexorable tide and flux channeler in my brawl deck

It triggers on end steps, not upkeeps😉

I just built a deck for this commander. I used an Infect/proliferate theme. Surprisingly, many of the infect cards are very inexpensive.

Willbreaker could be fun here with counterspells and auras and targeted such likes the exchange control spells and abilities. Not so budget friendly but not too bad either

Oh Boy, I loved this slug the day I saw it. Can't wait to see how you made him broken

Oh wow! I literally pulled Troxrill the Corrosive out of a set booster a couple hours after this video came out! What are the odds?

Does Toxrill die to salty players?

I know we all seen this deck and wanted to make it but remembered that we have friends who also want to play magic 😥

There is one other card that effects slime counters but it puts them on itself to increase strength so not vary relevant. Just thought I'd point it out

Is this a Car Seat Headrest reference?! ✨🤩

I've been playing a monoblack toxrill standard brawl/commander deck on arena for the last two month with almost 90%win rate. It's just everything in black that creates treasure(e.g. paladin or port merchant), early removal (e.g. bloodchief thirst) and a few other value-heavy cards like prof. onyx and Westgate vampire v fun.

Would you consider building a spirit tribal deck around Kykar wind's grave now that we have a bunch of new spirits from the last 2 sets. I think if I were to build it I'd try to create as many 1/1 spirit tokens as I can, get etb effects off of cards like impact tremors or perpheros, sac outlets that deal damage like goblin bombardment, and anything else along those lines. Could be interesting

11:32 Did you know that "Crowded Banner" is now a card?

I’ve built this deck as an aristocratic control deck and it’s just so dumb; it’s amazing how hard games can spiral out of control with your commander out

At each end step

This was a great deck tech. I would power it up a bit, but this is perfect for a budget version.

I've been brewing a "Toxic Treasure" with Toxrill and Revel in Riches leading the way. Has been a very entertaining way to win and if they do take out Tox you got plenty of treasure to cash in to pull him back out.

Great video! Will you do a deck for umbris too?

Only other card so far in Magic that cares about Slime Counters is Gutter Grime - a green enchantment that wants to have slime counters on itself. Outside of the color, and would need to animate the enchantment. Really big hoops to jump through.

I would remove a bunch of proliferate/win more cards from this build for additionnal counterspells and things to protect him. He's gonna have a HUGE target on his back...

Toxrill is just so obscenely powerful, it's crazy. It's just board wipe after board wipe with just one card. I'm genuinely surprised it's only 12 bucks of something.

what about the basic land ratio? how many black and nlue lands should i play with this list?

I'm building this...

I'm surprised he didn't mention consuming aberration, that thing would get huge quick

I am halfway building my toxrill deck, so I'm pretty curious to see your take on it. (I bet the golden pig is clone of the spark) Less than 1$ per card? There goes my prediction...

I understand it’s a budget version. You can make this very very nasty by using some more powerful stuff like Sword of Truth and Justice, Innexorable Tide, Contagion Engine. As well as increasing the power of the mana rocks with stuff like Mana Vault and Grim Monolith. Lots of potential here for a mean deck

Just pulled it in a prerelease Pack

I think that Gisa, Glorious Resurrector would take a Toxrill deck to the next level! At least that’s my opinion.

If you're willing to go outside the budget, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is an amazing choice.

What about this upgrades a little les budget lier, disciple of drowned, hullbreaker horror, quasiduplicate, grave betrayal what do you think 🤔

Will there be a break the bank for tox

How long is the brigadier general teir brand new?? Like over 2 yeard

Are Hunted Phantasm and Infernal Genesis too expensive for the deck? They are MUSTS!

Have to say that I personally prefer this card in the 99 of Umbris Fear Manifest 🤔👀

How are using non black cards with a mono black commander?

Play this in close quarters!

*end step*

Are we going to see a commander game with toxrill?

I just stuck toxrill into my Atraxa infect deck…

Question: how does this deck deal with enemy creatures/agression when the slug is not on the board and no counters in hand? I am new to commander and I am browsing your videos for a potential deck build. Golos looks very fun but also expensive. Also will this get a "reasonably upgraded" treatment?

I think that with toxrill you just put a lot of protection and counter spells.Cast your commander and wait till your oponents lose. The majority od this cards looks Like overkill.

I've been looking for a good Toxrill list on the cheap so thank you! Now to add Urborg and Kormus Bell for some mass sluggy land destruction.

11:31 anyone else catch that?

Just realized that if you read the card first turn -1 -1 second -2 -2 then -4 -4 then -8 -8

Question cause the wording on the slug is confusing. Say 2 creatures with slime counters die at the same time. Would you get 1 slug token or 2?

can we see an upgraded toxrill deck?

While far from a budget option, I took a double take when looking at Yawgmoth's card, and wondered if he happened to establish the original Phyrexia with the help of a giant toxic slug.

Break the bank! Break the bank!

Hey is there a commanders discord to meet some people ? 😅 I'm starting out and would like to play on MTGO 😁

I would love to see this on Close Quarters

What to buy playmat but it keeps asking for passcode?

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Kormus Bell and then drop Toxrill.

I like the video

It bothers me you didn't read the card properly... The main effect happens at END STEP not UPKEEP as you stated multiple times.

Isnt the rule for this format your commander is the only color you can use when making the deck? So how are we to use blue if the boss is a black card?

I’m new to commander. I thought the only cards allowed in your deck were the ones that share the same mana color as your commander? Why are there blue cards in his recommendations when Toxrill is only black?

How can you play a blue card (sludge monster) in a mono black deck?

Toxrill is killer!....

End step. Not upkeep.

... every single END STEP Mitch 😑🤣

Cant you only play with your commander color? Im new to the commander game

Toxrill does not activate on upkeep

I so desperately want slime counters to become a thing.

I hope this is the deck that finally destroys Eddie. Eddie is a diabolical genius in EDH/Commander.

How is this not an omega level 🤔

Are you going to do a break the bank?

i'm new to Commander so im confused. I thought the rule for Commander was that your Commander's colors decide what color the rest of your deck is? If so how can he use Sludge Monster, which is a Blue? Toxrill is Black only.

For a little over $5, Inexorable Tide would be a great addition to this list!
