I loved the video, but just a quick suggestion for someone who is new to magic and still learning the cards. The ADD and CUT text was covering up part of the cards, could you move it below them next time? You guys rock and I’m giving you feedback because I want you to be even better! Thanks!

Mistakes were made here Kaya ghost form lets you go infinite with moldrotha in a multitude of ways with a sac outlet. double etb effects on dorks protection for mold. You dont need phyrexian altar if you have lotus petal but it goes real infinite if you do. Seal of removal is an allstar its cheap removal that can be abused every turn with moldrotha out, the threat of activation every turn cycle means you can react to your opponents save moldry from targeted removal etc etc. Blood artist affects are just okay like you said we are a self mill deck we arent going to win with damage from blood artist. Moldy is aristocrat adjacent but it isn't one i would cut them.

Okay, all good tips as always, but I love the little back and forth you have on Doom Whisperer. "Oh, don't worry about it, who on Earth is gonna pay thirty life?" I answered immediately, "Me." Seriously, any deck I've ever built would pay thirty life if there were a payoff that fit the commander, like Doom Whisperer for Muldrotha. A win is a win, whether I'm at one life or one hundred.

It's funny that you cut Jarrad's Orders because I put it in on your recommendation 3 years ago and cut it for Buried Alive. With some T1 ramp you can Buried Alive T2 for combo pieces and dredge creatures. One of the best setups you can perform. Also I just want to say if you're playing ANY MDFC lands, and you should have Bala Ged Recovery and Agadeem's Awakening for sure, then one bounce land is a really good complement. Play Agadeem's Awakening to bring back your board>>play Agadeem the Undercrypt as a tapped land>>play a bounce land so you can Agadeem's again. Value baby!

The nice thing about Ghostform is it also refreshes Muldrotha, so I can play a bunch more cards from the grave again. But I love the upgrades guys! I very much look forward to torturing my playgroup with this new deck ;) Thank you so much!

I need Seal of Removal! It's a quick free reusable unsummon. I've been using an artifact on MTGA but it cost 1U+sac to activate. It's free defense and one of the only ways to defend against certain win cons. Kaya's Ghostform is one of the best protection spells and Muldrotha needs it. It can also protect plainswalkers and even brings them back after they spend al l their loyalty so they can be activated again! Of course it can also help combo with cards included in your deck but it's been randomly useful in strange situations I couldn't foresee unless I had it when I needed it.

Top cards for muldrotha in my opinion: dauthi void walker, phantasmal image, kayas ghostform, mesmeric orb, journey to eternity, underealm lich, pernicious deed, world shaper, greater good.... The list of goes on. Some fun cards to try: metamorphic alteration abusing the leg. Rule as removal and later beefing up a woodelves. Lower power pendrell Flux. And elemental resonance as ramp(you can enchant opponents big permanents, that you anyways want to die, so it can be ramp or an instanive for your opponents to kill that stuff you are enchanting to.)

I built this deck when Muldrotha dropped. It's strong when everyone leaves you alone and beats up on each other. Once others know your plan they just kill you while you set up. It's just a tad too slow, but if you get set up you just win off of the value

hey, just two cents from someone who’s played shigeki, jukai visionary in a graveyard deck - because of the return to hand ability, and because it doesn’t have haste, i’ve found shigeki to be really really slow. it ends up being 2 mana, wait a turn, 2 mana, mill three and get a land, 2 more mana, pass turn, and repeat. it’s fine late game if you need a mana sink, and the channel ability can be really nice sometimes, but i can’t imagine muldrotha needs a mana sink as much as my stupid little nethroi deck did since you can actually use muldrotha to cast from the graveyard, and there are plenty of cards better than shigeki for the channel ability. it’s flexible, and it’s fun to play with - i’d definitely consider running it, if it seems fun to you, and seeing if it works well in your deck - but i actually ended up cutting it from my deck in order to put skull prophet in, which i’ve found almost always does what i would want shigeki to do faster and without as much mana. that’s just what i think, but obviously my commander is different than yours, and the nerds do have good points - just something i felt like bringing up. :)

It's very difficult to make an optimal deck in the abstract, because every meta is different and every player prioritizes different aspects of the experience. Is this optimal to win? No- it can be powered up significantly for $$$. Do the cards work towards your Commander's strengths and flow well? Probably!

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Unless you are decking yourself through drawing many cards at once Thoracle is strictly better. If you're dredging you are actively replacing drawing cards so losing shouldn't be an issue. Also, Thoracle doesn't need for your deck to be zero cards, it needs it to be less than two or three. If you could elaborate why you need LabMan instead that'd be nice because I'm very confused why you want him instead.

But I am often in the situation that I am going to draw passed my last card. Maybe I had to go to my end step with eight cards in my hand with Dakmor Salvage and Gitrog (I run things like Animate Dead, because it’s an enchantment that gets me a creature), or I’m looping Hogaak with Greater Good. Also, I run the Lasav that can become a creature in your graveyard, because sometimes I need two different creatures in one turn. Lasav allows me to do that.
