love the idea. I plan to do a similar thing with all random eggs.

I have played a number of other Atla decks though and I have some suggestions:

Take out Bird of Paradise and add in Wild Growth, Utopia Sprawl, Fertile Ground, or Trace of Abundance. Take out Eternal Witness and add in Reinforcements, Noxious Revival, or Reclaim. Take out Sakura Tribe Elder and add in Nature's Lore, or Three Visits. SUmmoner's Egg is aMust, Mirror Entity, i understand why you want it. The other two eggs though, I don't think are worth the include. I would instead add Strionic Resonator which would have a better effect.

Daarkest on The Recycling Plant [Mono-Green Artifact Combo]

I have mixed feelings on Reclaim . When it's good, its pretty amazing, but when its just mediocre, it feels terrible, and I would rather have a lot of different cards rather than it. Also, I felt like I was drawing wayyyyy too many lands so I cut two of them and added two more Gather the Pack . It's also worth noting that because the opportunity cost of playing Castle Garenbrig is so low that you may want to replace some forests with some copies of it. Just a little extra value.

king-saproling on Omnath, who Mana Breaks for us all.

Hey Kain. There's a lot to unpack here haha.

• Hall of Gemstone is strong not only because it allows you to generate green mana with colorless lands, but also because it disrupts multicolored opponents (each turn, they choose one color and will pretty much only be able to use spells and abilities of that color).

• Questing Beast just seems like a french vanilla beater to me. He's alright in a planeswalker-filled meta I suppose. But even there I think you could just beat your way into planeswalkers' faces with Omnath and the gang.

• Angel's Trumpet is just an odd effect for mono green so I thought you might like it. In conjunction with Silent Arbiter , it does heavy damage each turn to any opponent with a lot of creatures, while also tapping down their potential blockers. Angel's trumpet also gives all your dudes vigilance. So even without the arbiter, since your green creatures will usually be bigger than opponents' dudes, you likely won't mind swinging with your team every turn while your opponents will be at risk putting their tiny dorks into combat.

• Uba Mask essentially reads "when anyone draws a card, they must play it the turn they drew it or it is lost forever". Since you produce a ton of mana, you will always be able to play the cards you draw. Opponents will struggle with this though, making sub-optimal plays so that they don't lose the card they drew. Uba Mask is brutal with Teferi's Puzzle Box or Hall of Gemstone , or against opponents who draw a lot of cards or play a lot of counterspells. Even without support the mask is a highly disruptive card.

• Abundance is decent for several reasons. It replaces draws, which means you would be unaffected by Uba Mask and would not lose if your library is empty. It also allows you to always draw gas if you're top-decking, or get land if you need it to cast a big spell.

• It That Betrays only triggers from sacrifice. Killing something with deathtouch damage will not trigger It That Betrays. He's alright on his own since he has annihilator, but he's also easy to remove. I think better things can be done with 12 mana. Same with the other eldrazi. Sure they're strong, but they aren't that interesting imo (except for Emrakul, the Promised End . that card is super interesting).

• Lignify can only target creatures while Song of the Dryads can target any permanent. Also, you can get rid of creatures by applying combat pressure (forcing blocks), so lignify is only marginally useful.

• Unless you have an immediate draw effect, Reclaim and Noxious Revival won't return your card until next turn. They also telegraph your plans to your opponents, so if you put something strong on top with Reclaim, your opponents might band together to eliminate you before you draw it. Regrowth would be better imo.

• Green is generally weak to board wipes. It would be especially bad if your stored a ton of mana with Omnath and somebody wiped the board, causing you to lose all that mana. Colfenor's Urn and Cauldron of Souls protect your creatures from board wipes.

• Mimic Vat is a way for green to steal creatures. Or, you can use it to reuse sweet ETB creatures like Eternal Witness , God-Eternal Rhonas , Meteor Golem , Ulvenwald Hydra , etc. It can also deter board wipes, since opps might not want to destroy creatures if it means you get to imprint the best one.

• Not of This World = free protection for Omnath. When you are storing a lot of mana via Omnath, it is all lost if he gets removed, so this helps to prevent that. It can also be used in a pinch to protect vital artifacts/enchantments like The Great Henge or Mana Reflection which wear huge bullseyes.

• Sensei's Divining Top is never a bad card, but in most decks it is just filler. Since you're in green you could use this card slot to just draw a lot of cards instead with something like Hunter's Prowess .

• Gilded Goose seems outclassed by Llanowar Elves in most cases. I could see niche uses for the goose, but most decks benefit more from a regular mana dork.

• Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger (and stax effects in general) is just unfun to play against. Just my personal opinion. I wouldn't feel accomplished if I won a game simply because I dropped a Vorinclex.

• Bow of Nylea isn't bad, but there are plenty more impactful cards out there.

Anyway these are just my opinions. EDH is all about playing however you like, so don't feel like you have to make adds or cuts just because they were recommended. Play that Kitten-Hydra if you love the card!

Yes Gingerbread Cabin is lackluster. Inventors' Fair could be a good replacement. Nissa, Worldwaker looks very good here! Extra 4 mana each turn? Sign me up. Prototype Portal + Ugin's Nexus is cool but very situational (you would need both cards in hand, plus a way to sacrifice artifacts). But infinite turns in mono green is extremely rare, which fits your deck's theme of "green doing non-green things", so if you want to reach for that dream go for it! Trading Post might be a good sacrifice outlet for said combo. Sword of the Animist is a common ramp piece for non-green decks. Since you have green, there are better ramp options. Umbral Mantle is very good with Karametra's Acolyte or Selvala, Heart of the Wilds , so yeah I could see it warranting a spot. Worst case it can be used to give Omnath pseudo-vigilance. I agree with your assessment of the Nyleas, there are better cards to sink mana into.

BMHKain on Omnath, who Mana Breaks for us all.

(CAUTION: TL;DR Crap AHEAD; Reason: This is a set of opinions of cards of note for this deck.)

@king-saproling: After all this, I'd like a possible Review on this deck, as well as this:

---

Take all Text for Yourself w/o needing to Steal!

Commander / EDH* BMHKain

30 VIEWS | IN 1 FOLDER

---

This is a 1 Damage KO Deck. Utilizing Card Advantage, a Myriad of threats to slow those down, Heck, I actually put the High CMC stuff in as Atemsis Bantha Fodder. just to win a game; so they're not useless at all as this is how Atemsis, All-Seeing Works as a CMDR; high amounnts of unique CMC Costs for use.

But what about these?

1: Hall of Gemstone : (I guess Omnath Reserve works here?) 2: Frontier Siege (Ramp or Kill... I'd rather ramp; not enough powerful creatures to be a "Dragon"...) 3: Silent Arbiter (Is this why you said "No." to a Teferi Killer? ) 4: Angel's Trumpet (But why use this, W/O Hydra-Kitten-chan? 5: Uba Mask (I, uh,,, How good is this? I never understood how these effects are "Good".) 6: Abundance (It's a Random Pick, but at least you get to choose which pick needed. II keep.)
7: Teferi's Puzzle Box ( Mindmoil ? IN MY ?! Permanent Keep.) 8: Meteor Golem If only what this guy can do IRL is safe; as it's not. Awesome effect; almost like a Bramblecrush on legs; Artifice also. Keep.). 9. Cauldron of Souls (This looks good for my Cromat "No Counters Allowed" Deck. But why the recommendation?
10: Colfenor's Urn (Uh... I'd have an opinion as long as I know Exile Stoarge Plus'.) 11: Lifeline (I'd like to make a list of stuff hates, & recursion is one. Since we're in theme, this Pases.) 12: Mimic Vat (This is secret tech for Superfriends; but what to use w/ here) 13: Mirrorworks 14: Not of This World (This wasn't chopped. This was Planet-Cleaved. How many creatures here have 7 Power?) 15: Pariah's Shield (I guess it's for Omnath? I'd like to change this up after this as well as work on my Atemsis Deck for this.)

As well as the Losers of this deck...

1: Wolfhunter's Quiver (There is a combo involving this, Thornbite Staff , something w/ Deathtouch, & It That Betrays to wipe a whole field clean while going to Value Town. Why the cut?) 2: Akroma's Memorial (I re-entered this in as it's Mana-Pricey, but we've Omnath Anyway; so putting this online is proof of Omnath #1 's HUGE Ramp.) 3: Destructor Dragon (I guess we've already enough flying stuff; & this was just a clunker.) 4: Lignify (Why cut this, & not Song of the Dryads also? Is this for turning a creature into a mere blocker?) 5: Eldrazi Conscription (Is this Aura really that bad? Alright, Tuvasa the Sunlit has it now.) 6/7: Noxious Revival / Reclaim (Reclaim is at least, affordable (Quasi-Recursion via Topdecking; Noxious Revival is basically the same, but on Gitaxian Probe level power. Why does everyone think Phyrexian Mana Cards are so good? I'll never know...) 8: Scour from Existence (Do I Other Ways of Destruction? I guess I'll allow the cut.) 9: Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre (Are Eldrazi that Bad here? It's either This, or Kozilek, & It that Betrays. Should I trust my gut on this?) 10: Chrome Mox : Replaced by Nyx Lotus indefinitely unless it gets banned. 11: Key to the City : (I guess The Quasi-Rummage requiring more mana for one to have a creature unblackable, then untap to Draw. I didn't think I'd be better off w/o Discarding...) 12: Ratchet Bomb (Blowing up Mana Rocks; someone said (Kinda...), But you were right about this as a cut; I thought it as sketchy.) 13: Sensei's Divining Top ((?_?) I mean, even Noxious Revival is understandable, but saying Chopp'd to a Big Staple of all Commander/EDH? I'm at a loss...) 14: Harmonize (Should I put Rishkar's Expertise back in?) 15: Gilded Goose ((Looks at Card.) Why say no? It makes food, & ramps. Just imagine the (Weiß)Versatility this can do. 16: It That Betrays (Why say no to this? is it that average? Remember that Value Town Combo...). 17: Kozilek, Butcher of Truth (Does this attract that much hate? Is that why the Eldrazi are veto'd here? 18: Wall of Tanglecord (Actually, good piont; would rather bust defenses, not use them.) 19: Questing Beast (Are you confident to suggest cutting Kitten Hydra-chan? It's one of the best cards in this case, sadly...)
20: Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger (Doubling Land Mana; & more so, while Halfing everyone else? Is the problem w/ big fatties I didn't know of even?) 21: Bow of Nylea (+1/+1 Counter on a Creature? 2 Damage to a flyer? 3 Life? & Retrieve 4 Cards from the Yard to the Bottom of your library in any order? Attackers have Deathtouch? Damn; I'd actually put this in now if I've a way to Untap Freely for this...)

& the underdogs?

1: Gingerbread Cabin (Is this worth keeping? Seems lackluster...) 2: Nissa, Worldwaker (Searching for all Forests? Why not Landfall like mad? Opinions?) 3: Prototype Portal + Ugin's Nexus Extra Turns w/o Seedtime . Good, or not?)
4: Sword of the Animist Is this good for ramp? I'm wondering...) 5: Umbral Mantle (Yeah, this could've been good, if the Shaman Staff 1 Damage Deathtouch Steal via IT THAT BETRAYS is far better even w/o the last piece!) 6: Yeva, Nature's Herald : (Is another Restricted to just Creatures worth it?) 7: Nylea, God of the Hunt : Already got a way to Trample like MAD, & I've other ways to increase both Power & toughness for my creatures anyway. Nylea, Keen-Eyed ? Worse here, but better in Animar, Soul of Elements all-creature builds. Oh, & the latter demands Topdecking, otherwise, you might just wasted a good card.

Sorry for the immense sized comments; I just want to point out my opinions; & I'm sorry if So, that said, I'll revise my Atemsis, All-Seeing Deck later; It's night where I'm at...

Later! :)

avk207 on Edric's Aggressive Diplomacy

Gaea's Touch and Wayward Swordtooth are great additions that let you consistently dump more lands if you're on a budget. Swordtooth I could see being a bit pricey, but it gets the job done like Azusa or Oracle without the high high price attached. The enchantment is a weird interaction, it's actually a sorcery speed ability like Skyshroud Ranger . I highly highly recommend the Summer Bloom , it's nutty how far ahead you can get ahead if you get it early, especially if you combo it with Reclaim effects. Add a copy or flip a card around to test it goldfishing if you don't believe me. I've seen it get me up to 15+ lands by turn 6 or 7 when everyone is still sitting on 5-9 mana, depending on which rocks they drew. If you have a playgroup you're probably already familiar with how overloaded your hand can get.

Thanks for noticing! I should really document my reasons for deck list updates, but I haven't in a long time.

I removed Blast Zone because the card has never done what I wanted. I thought the card would be a great form of recursive removal with Titania at the helm. Instead, Blast Zone is over costed, doesn't remove tokens, and as a colorless source, hinders the early gameplay by restricting my access to colored sources. I replaced it with Desert of the Indomitable as a place holder for now because cycle lands help to dig for better cards, but sucks that it enters tapped. I'll probably replace it with Harmonize or a Forest in the future to be honest.

I removed Natural Affinity because it was more of a gotcha card. It wasn't a bad card. There were several times that it won me the game. Other times, you use it to fuel a Craterhoof Behemoth or have instant speed blockers. I've had my fun with Natural Affinity , but I would rather have more recursion in the deck, and removing it doesn't hurt my deck. That's why I replaced it with Reclaim .

Thank you for your suggestion of Noxious Revival ! I didn't know that it worked on any graveyard. That makes it a lot better than I thought. I'll most likely swap it into the deck when I get a hold of one, which I just did through TCGPlayer after reading your comment!

LadyZ on Xenagos's Party Animals

I feel obligated to point out Malignus for Xenagos, seeing as it will kill anyone with their shields down. a great way to lower those shields is Disrupt Decorum . Siege Behemoth can also do the trick.

If you go with Radha, I'd think about adding Grand Warlord Radha as well, maybe add a few more hydras like Lifeblood Hydra and Hooded Hydra

Either way, maybe look at The Great Henge , Eternal Witness , and Berserkers' Onslaught

Personally, I'd look at cutting Blood Mist and Reclaim whichever commander you go with.

davidsays1 on Turn 3 Wins w/ Selesnya Storm (Selvala)

5 months ago

I used to run Squall Line as my wincon until i found out about Savage Summoning with Walking Ballista figured something uncounterable was better then my old wincon.

You should also consider Angel's Grace so you don't have to worry about milling yourself/people countering your Noxious Revival combo with Reclaim

Ezuri, Renegade Leader is good for multiple reasons, might be worth a shot.

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds and Marwyn, the Nurturer are both infinite mana elves by themselves with Umbral Mantle

Grand Abolisher is just a really good card

Lastly, a little synergy i like is Wood Elves with Wirewood Symbiote lol
