Whenever a Saproling you control dies, Slimefoot deals 1 damage to each opponent and you gain 1 life.
: Create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token.
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.
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
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
