Looking good. I built Shelob as a fight deck myself.

I found some Tech cards I really like in the deck:

Orochi Leafcaller helps to sometimes use abilities of the copies. Tough Cookie and Alloy Animist can turn the copies into creatures. Oh, and Livewire Lash is absurd with Shelob and some fight spells.

Finally, I've found spells such as Snakeskin Veil and Supernatural Stamina to be very powerful with Ward abilities. Your Shelob will sometimes be hit with a Path for , and having something to give her Hexproof right then can sometimes put you in a great spot.

Loooking good! Orochi Leafcaller is a card I like in my Shelob deck to be able to activateoff-colour abilities of fooded creatures. What's more, cards such as Snakeskin Veil and Supernatural Stamina are great with Ward abilities, as they can be major blowouts once your opponent tries to kill Shelob by paying her Ward.

enpc on Thrasios/Tymna vs Kenrith

RambIe: That was one of the reasons I really liked Kenrith, since he acted as not only an infinite mana sink but also a win condition is his own right (as well as being a WUBRG enabler).

SynergyBuild: having the additional access to red was always the main allure of Kenrith for me. The fact that he has 4 super relevant abilites (and one ok ability that can still be relevant) is pretty massive too. And since I find myself leaning on mana dorks more and more having the ability to give them haste and win that turn alone (even without hte introduction of oteh red cards) is just so good.

Personally I don't like using Thassa's Oracle - I know the card is amazing but it's not my speed. I have been toying with the idea of Lampad of Death's Vigil as a non-Kenrith win condition (though he's still required to enable the combo) through either looping Dockside Extortionist or just looping the Lampad (with infinite mana).

I know the big benefit with Oracle is that you don't rely on infinite mana to win and you don't technically need your commander, which is really nice from an availability point of view, and that is one concern with Kenrith (though techincally I have the same issue with Thrasios).

My big concern with the switch though is that Thrasios doesn't need coloured mana to do his thing, which is still a huge selling point for me. Outside of combo I'm not really fussed but inside the combo, while I'll be able to generate infinite mana, I still technically won't be able to draw my deck from two of my mana dork loops. And including cards like Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy or Orochi Leafcaller seems a bit sub par. I know this is where Thassa's Oracle suffers a lot less, but has this been an issue for you at all?

Funny you should mention Quartzwood Crasher. He's the star of the Kaheera deck I'm working on.

As for Mono-green 5 color, I don't know how else to say it, and that's how one of my friends described it. It has an all-green mana base and uses Jegantha, the Wellspring, Orochi Leafcaller, and mana dorks to cast the 5 color creatures. Taste the Rainbow - $25 Budget Casual if you're interested.

As with most new decks, I'd recommend starting any edits by thinning down to 60 cards. Your land count is really low for a 100 card deck, but it should be fine for a 60 card deck with enough mana dorks, so I'd cut 40 from the nonlands. The best cards to remove are anything with poor cost efficiency or minimal impact in the ramp archetype. Elvish Mystic is an example of a card to keep because it serves as a cheap accelerant towards your biggest threats. By contrast, Orochi Leafcaller does (almost) literally nothing in a mono-green deck except be a 1 mana 1/1. On the bomb side of things, I'd choose Terra Stomper over Arcbound Wanderer every time, especially since Wanderer only has synergy with the aforementioned snake. Then you have something like Demon's Horn which is pretty terrible in most black decks. And since this is a green deck, it may never trigger at all.

Once down to 60, I'd start looking for upgrades to the existing cards. Some elf ramp options I'm partial to are Joraga Treespeaker, Elvish Piper, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Craterhoof Behemoth/End-Raze Forerunners, and Archetype of Endurance.

You've got 19 ramp cards, which with a 5 color deck is fairly high. You could turn a couple of signets into Nature's Lore and maybe Skyshroud Claim as they both can tutor up dual lands into play. Your curve's upper arch is at 3, and with your ramp I could see you possibly having a working deck at somewhere around 34-36 lands. Assuming you want to add 6 lands, I'd recommend Untaidake, the Cloud Keeper, Reflecting Pool, City of Brass, Karn's Bastion, Tarnished Citadel, and Ancient Tomb. Orochi Leafcaller, Heroes' Podium, Blackblade Reforged, Fyndhorn Elves, Elvish Mystic, and Avacyn's Pilgrim. If you want a more control deck, you are gonna have to make further cuts for removal and counter spells, as well as some hate cards, but that decision is up to you. It looks great for a first EDH deck, +1

RustyMC just wanna link to the cards you mentioned so it's easier for onlookers like me (who don't know as many cards) to understand;

Comet Storm, Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner, Mana Echoes, Tooth and Nail, Craterhoof Behemoth, Opposition, Orochi Leafcaller, Epic Struggle.

ThePoisonMuse on OWOoze What's This? - Experiment Kraj EDH

Thanks for your input Saiyamax I already run many cards that fulfill the role that Shapers of Nature would fill. The main use I see with it is if I'm trying to win with Quicksilver Elemental instead of Kraj but Quicksilver elemental is on the way out form the deck as I'm primarily running it because I have a foil copy. I used to run Orochi Leafcaller but I found that I had enough blue sources that it never really mattered.
