The Commander

Whenever a Saproling you control dies, Slimefoot deals 1 damage to each opponent and you gain 1 life.

{4} : Create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.

Guide

Gameplan

Build a wide board of Saproling tokens, then sacrifice them for value and incremental damage. Slimefoot turns every dying Saproling into reach and lifegain, so you grind opponents out with token swarms, sacrifice outlets, and eventually a single big payoff that kills the table at once.

Strengths

Self-contained engine: the commander makes tokens and provides a built-in win condition
Resilient to board wipes since it rebuilds tokens for and reloads from the command zone
Aristocrats damage hits all opponents at once, making it strong in multiplayer
Strong synergy density in Golgari with sacrifice, tokens, and recursion

Weaknesses

Slow without ramp; the ability is mana-hungry to use repeatedly
Relies on the board staying populated—graveyard hate and exile effects hurt
Damage output is slow if you lack mass-sacrifice and token doublers
Vulnerable to creature-light stax and flyers/evasion races without good blockers

Key Cards

Sporemound — Makes a Saproling on every land drop, fueling the engine for free.
Sprout Swarm — Convoke-powered token machine with buyback to flood the board endlessly.
Doubling Season — Doubles every Saproling created, instantly scaling Slimefoot's damage and bodies.
Parallel Lives — Cheap token doubler that turns each activation and trigger into twice the value.
Verdurous Gladecutter — Spawns four Saprolings, giving a huge burst of bodies to sacrifice.
Ashnod's Altar — Free sacrifice outlet that converts your board into both mana and Slimefoot damage.

Upgrade Path

Add fast ramp (Sol Ring, Cabal Coffers, Nykthos) and free sacrifice outlets (Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Viscera Seer) to loop tokens efficiently. Layer multiple token doublers (Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession) and a payoff like Craterhoof Behemoth or a Mycoloth/Pitiless Plunderer engine for explosive turns. Tighten the mana base with duals and tutors (Demonic Tutor, Eladamri's Call) and add recursion like Eternal Witness to rebuild after wipes.

Tokens — Saproling generators and doublers build the wide board he feeds on.
