Good Ol' Fungus fun

So at the card store near my house there is a tribal tournament coming up which requires you to play 24 creatures of the same type. Anyway, after seeing Thallid Replica in Darksteel - I think to myself "boy, I haven't played those in a while." However, with replica included there are only 6 types of fungus that I can come up with (and Thallid replica isn't exactly playable), anyone know of another creature with type fungus?

Thallid
Thorn Thallid
Thallid Devourer
Feral Thallid
Spore Flower
Thallid Replica
???

nope that's it.. and what thallid replica are you referring to?


If you wanna run thallids, you'll need at least elvish farmer.. I had a thallid deck at one point that evolved into a saproling deck. Typically they're too fragile. Youll start to get some board advantage and have like 4 thallids,

If you're set on having thallids, youll need cards that are actually better than your thallids themselves.. go either, when theyre targeted, they get bigger, or they simply cant be targeted

Steely Resolves 1G
Name a creature type, creatures of the type cant be targeted

Rite of Passage for a boost.

Some others would be

Bequeathal G
When EC is put into a grave, Draw 2.

Predatory Hunger G
When an opponent plays a creature spell, this gets a +1/+1 counter

Maybe even

Ferocity 1G
When EC is blocked, or blocks, gets a +1/+1 counter.

or perhaps some evasion.

Treetop bracers 1G Enchant Creature
EC gets +1/+1 can only be blocked by fliers

Druid's call 1G
If they have a fatty theyre attacking with..


It would probably have to be REALLY fast... so something like..


2 Gaea's Cradle
18 Forest

4 Llanowar Elves
4 Priest of Titania

4 Thallid
4 Elvish Farmer
3 Spore Flower
3 Fungal Bloom

4 Tel-Jihad Justice
2 Druid's Call
2 Spidersilk Armor
3 Bequeathal
3 Predatory Hunger
2 Splinter
2 Rite of Passage

In the beginning it'd be weak, but after a spidersilk or a rite hits the table, even spellbombs mean diddily..

If you wanted to make your deck conditional.. use Forgotten Ancient.. he wont boost your thallid production, but he'll help save them.. You might also want the strategy of:
1) get mana
2) play thallids/ fungal bloom
3) play steely resolve and recur FOG from spore flower.. omg.. so annoying..

btw thorn thallid and feral arent worth it at all.

*drum roll please...*

FUNGUSAUR!...

These guys go perfect with winter orbs, and root mazes...

This gives them time to build up more and more counters...

Throw in some Power Conduits and run rampant...

:D

I'm with train. I've found the best use of a thallid these days is with a Power Conduit.

Turn 1 - Thallid.
Turn 2 - Conduit, Convert Counter, attack for 2.
Turn 3 - Conver counter, attack for 3.
Turn 4 - etc.

Combined with other conduit friendly cards, (Roc Hatchling, Hello!), it's not a bad casual deck.

I'll state it again - Power conduit is wrong... but great when not playing blue...

Heck - It even breaks cumulative upkeeps...

Where's my ritual of subduals now?...

I guess the search saw fungus in his type...
