Fynn is back in Standard ?!

[@davestier6247]

I hate to be the Fangbearer of bad news, but it looks like you've got 10 poison counters

[@DrHankVenture]

I don't want to lean into toxic discourse, but I think that we're the finest team the world has ever seen.

[@Colesonian]

Love the guy sleep emoting you as if this deck is all he sees in the meta, sure he's having fun in diamond lol

[@mrjoegangles]

The front picture reminded me of my old deck, “Oops all Fynns”. Scuteswarm tokens, with Fynn, and echoing equation. Most people didn’t know Fynn’s trigger stacks and five fynns means they are all lethal.

[@bobafett4895]

the poor player in match four didn't even try 😂

[@charlieh1197]

Honestly, it's an understandable scoop lol

[@simonh5870]

I'm currently on a MTG break but I still like to watch you and CGB. When I saw the thumbnail I thought "cool, Fynn is the best commander if you want get some quick games in". Was really surprised to see that he's standard legal again. Edit: In hindsight I could've seen the black mana in the thumbnail as an indicator for the format not being brawl.

[@EvilEv37]

God you feel like the villain here lol

[@jerryli5879]

LVD woke up today and chose violence, awesome showcase! This deck seems a lot more reliable than the poison deck I built back in Kaldheim

[@skipper7152]

Always been somewhat ironic card design when there is no real counter to getting poison counters and proliferate cards, except literal counterspells and that one card from ONE.

[@aroadtorome7683]

A humble offering for the almighty algorithm.

[@SL.ink316]

Match 8 was *chefs kiss"

[@daviddent5662]

Fynn and Echoing Equation used to be my favorite deck to play in any format. First five-color mana base I made that worked AND it was such a fun teachable moment of: I hit you with just one Fynn but before they all leave Poison says we have to tally the effect, which means you take 2 for each Fynn I had and that's... 400! Hail Phyrexia and GG. So simple and yet not impossible to counter, unlike old-school infection.

[@fikamonster2564]

I had no idea that ”this creature deals damage to another creature” worked with deathtouch!!! Neat

[@amarauk9687]

Also works with likelink, in the sense that you gain life from the creature dealing the damage/fighting another creature

[@xGatoDelFuegox]

To think -- almost all of these all will be one cards would have rotated out under the old rules. It's so great that we can play a variety of decks like this!

[@TheWormwoodScrubs]

Match 5 was winable if you used whisper to survive the attack without blocking (going down to 1 life and bringing op to 5 poison) and then attack with both contaminators and casting inquiry for the last 5 poison poison counters. Cool deck, I think I'll try it myself!

[@LegenVD]

Would still lose 2 life to Inquiry.

[@J3str-z9w]

Question: would you consider putting Leyline ax in the deck? I know it can be a little pricey if you pay it full cost, but with Fynn every attack is worth four poison, no matter what you do.

[@jeremystinnett550]

Turns any deathtouch creature into Glissa too.

[@J3str-z9w]

@@jeremystinnett550 but better. Now it attacks again and goes through regardless (cuz trample)

[@J3str-z9w]

@@jeremystinnett550 which means whether or not they block, it’s going to hit twice. No matter what blocks it.

[@daguru119]

3 mana to equip is rough.

[@J3str-z9w]

@ if you can protect Fynn it isn’t too bad. In my version I run some protection for my creatures

[@panagiotisgeorgopoulos7478]

Probably 24 lands are quite a lot, and I'd add either Snakeskin/Royal Treatment to make Rotpriests even better.

[@LegenVD]

Certainly an option, possible the 4-mana Rotpriests are too slow and we can lower the curve a bit.

[@amarauk9687]

We are back to new new phyrexia boys 🎉

[@nolanmadison7001]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="900">15:00</a> was best case scenario lmao

[@robertngo1629]

I wonder if 3 mana Glissa has a place in this deck. Good rate 3 drop that provides value and very hard to block deathtoucher. Maybe a sideboard option to replace inquiry against aggro decks? 🤔

[@LegenVD]

Definitely a solid option, even if it doesn't directly add Poison.

[@CyberBuster93]

This deck is disgusting..... I LOVE IT! 🔥🤘

[@dinklebob1]

That Match 8 hand came out SWINGING. Foot firmly pressed on the gas pedal.

[@heecks9375]

I have a Fynn deck and actually it's very different with alot more deathtouch and spot removal, if I can't poison you your gonna die at 0 health

[@justinbeck2899]

Glissa belongs in this deck?

[@LegenVD]

It’s an option for sure.

[@dinochris2136]

Surely Glissa has enough incidental value to be included in this deck? or not?

[@Rare_Coil]

I've been playing fynn toxic recently and I'm excited to see how LVD builds it!

[@thisispotatos9957]

Turn 2 three rot priests? I scoop at turn 2 two rot priests.

[@dcrow9650]

I really like Fynn as a deck, beacuse it always is the easiest wins for me since I play a lot of removal.

[@fluffyfang4213]

Appreciate the the Golgari take on the deck. I went and made a Selesnya version myself. Pros: Delney doubles the effects of both Venerated Rotpriest and Fynn. Divine Resilience combos with the Rotpriest. Expel the Interlopers? Skrelv's Hive & Caretaker's Talent? (I'm still testing it out) Cons: Really misses out on all the instant speed Proliferate and removal effects (Get Lost isn't quite as good). Infectious Inquiry is probably the best value card draw. But seeing your version with Skulldweller got me to add Ankle Biter so I can drop that on turn 1. Fynn on Turn 2, attack for 2 poison. Delney on turn 3, attack for 8 poison.

[@LegenVD]

Delney sounds like a fun inclusion!

[@musselbug7583]

Might I suggest 'Venom Connoisseur' who is legal in standard again. She gets double triggered by Delney's ETB to give the whole squad deathtouch for Flynn. I'd also consider throwing in some 'Roaming thrones' in the 4 drop slot, as they can act as non-legendary extra/substitute Delneys when set to Human (which Venom also is). Plus their ward 2, extra toughness and immunity to 'Go for the Throat' make them much stickier than Delney for 1 more mana.

[@fluffyfang4213]

​@@musselbug7583 I very much like the way you think! Venom Connoisseur and Skrelv's Hive make each other much more threatening. I'll have to play a few games to see how Roaming Throne feels. Was using Delney to sneak past large blockers, but everything having Deathtouch makes that mostly unnecessary :)

[@musselbug7583]

@@fluffyfang4213 I personally think the main draw of Delney and the thrones is the explosive double trigger effect moreso than Delney's evasion. VC doesn't contribute much unless she can get two ETB triggers in a turn, but either enabler will give you the group deathtouch effect on their own etb and only require a single creature entry after that in order to trigger it on subsequent turns - which makes VC far more consistent if you haven't got a hive, and precludes you from having to cast another creature at all if you do. I would also consider 'Cosmic rebirth' or even 'Raise the Past' as sideboard options to catch your opponent off guard and get your combo pieces back on board, making it less necessary to hold up mana for 'divine resilience' or 'angelic intervention' etc. , which can slow down your curve.

Good with Fynn, but doesn't really support the Poison plan. Fynn would just eat removal instead.
