The Mycotyrant
Legendary Creature — Elder Fungus
The Mycotyrant wants a deck that makes an army of small creatures and attacks with all of them. It also works in a deck built around Elders or Fungus / Saprolings.

Trample
The Mycotyrant's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control that are Fungi and/or Saprolings.
At the beginning of your end step, create X 1/1 black Fungus creature tokens with "This token can't block," where X is the number of times you descended this turn. (You descend each time a permanent card is put into your graveyard from anywhere.)

Cards That Fit The Mycotyrant
Picked for what they do in The Mycotyrant's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit The Mycotyrant's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.

A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card. Tokens are not cards, and while tokens are put into the graveyard before ceasing to exist, that action doesn't count as a player having descended.
Abilities that begin with "At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn" will trigger only once during your end step, no matter how many times you descended this turn. However, if you haven't descended this turn as your end step begins, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to put a permanent card into your graveyard during the end step in time to have the ability trigger.
If you control a creature that is both a Fungus and a Saproling, it counts only once for The Mycotyrant's middle ability.
In either case, it doesn't matter if those cards are still in that player's graveyard.
Multiple cards have abilities that begin with "At the beginning of your end step, if you descended this turn." These cards don't need to have been under your control at the time you descended. For example, if a permanent card is put into your graveyard during your first main phase and you cast Stalactite Stalker your second main phase, its ability will trigger at the beginning of your end step.
Some cards refer to a player who has "descended this turn." This means that a permanent card has been put into that player's graveyard from anywhere this turn.
Some cards refer to the number of times a player descended this turn. Those cards care about the number of permanent cards put into that player's graveyard from anywhere this turn.
The ability that defines The Mycotyrant's power and toughness works in all zones. As long as The Mycotyrant is on the battlefield (and still a Fungus, or somehow a Saproling), that ability will count The Mycotyrant itself.
