BuildCard details

The Commander

Each Fungus creature gets +1/+1 for each spore counter on it.

{B}{G}, Exile a Fungus card from a graveyard: Put a spore counter on each Fungus on the battlefield.

Guide

Gameplan

Thelon is a tribal Fungus/Saproling commander that turns spore counters into both an army and an anthem. You ramp out Saproling-makers and Fungi, build up spore counters that convert into 1/1 Saproling tokens, then use Thelon's ability to pump every Fungus while flooding the board. You win through a wide, growing army backed by sacrifice-and-token engines.

Strengths

  • Cheap two-mana commander that immediately buffs your tribe and recurs spore growth from any graveyard
  • Naturally synergizes with token-wide payoffs and go-wide combat
  • Black-green gives access to elite ramp, recursion, and sacrifice value engines
  • Spore/Saproling theme has strong tribal lords and overrun-style finishers

Weaknesses

  • Heavily board-centric, so wraths and sweepers set you back hard
  • Relatively low individual creature quality without counters and anthems stacked
  • Thelon's activated ability needs Fungus in graveyards as fuel, which can be inconsistent
  • Can be slow to get going and is vulnerable to fast combo decks

Key Cards

  • Sporesower Thallid — Doubles spore counter generation each upkeep, accelerating both your army and Thelon's anthem.
  • Sporoloth Ancient — Adds an extra spore counter and discounts Saproling tokens, supercharging the spore engine.
  • Thallid Germinator — Converts spore counters into Saproling tokens to actually build the board.
  • Slimefoot, the Stowaway — Provides Saproling payoff, sacrifice value, and a backup win engine for the token swarm.
  • Doubling Season — Doubles both counters and tokens, exponentially growing your Fungus army.
  • Craterhoof Behemoth — Classic go-wide finisher that turns a board of Saprolings and Fungi into lethal damage.

Upgrade Path

Add token and counter doublers like Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, and Primal Vigor to make the spore engine explosive, plus proliferate effects to skip the slow spore-counter ramp. Improve ramp and recursion with Cabal Coffers, Sakura-Tribe Elder, and Eternal Witness, and tighten the kill with reliable finishers like Craterhoof Behemoth and an Ashnod's Altar plus Blood Artist drain package.
