Just personal opinion here but, I definitely think Omnath, Locus of Mana would work better as you commander in this deck. Buffing him will take less time to kill people with commander damage as opposed to normal combat damage. An infinite manna combo would buff him just as well as Rhonas' ability, there just isn't as many steps/Vulnerabilities to the Win Con.

Thank you very much for Your comment and for upvote! I really appreciate it!

Omnath is a fantastic creature without a doubt. Thats why he is the most popular mono-green commander and that's why I use him in my deck. But, I will try to explain why I chose Rhonas instead of Omnath.

• very often Omnath needs trample to kill ONE opponent with commander damage, because even one 1/1 token can easily block him. So You can't say that with infinite mana he can kill the table with commander damage. Wile Rhonas with infinite mana (for example with Selvala) kills at least one opponent inevitably. And if You have more creatures then You just kill everyone. Omnath is not capable of doing this cuz infinite mana bufs only him alone and he lacks trample.
• This deck contains a package of creature removal spells (some of them are repeatable) which won't work with Omnath because he don't have decent deathtouch and indestructible ability. It is another fantastic synergy for agro Rhonas, because he can easily shoot annoying creatures and blockers. Not to mention that Rhonas can ping on instant Your Protean Hulk if You lack of sac outlets.
• Rhonas provides a stable 5/5 body at t2 easily, so on t3 You have the opportunity to get additional cards/mana from his body if You need to. Thus I think that for an early game his a bit faster then Omnath.

In any case, I will follow your advice and try to create a deck with Omnath as a commander. But it will be a bit different deck I suppose.

Thanks again!

Why is the deck called Larger than Life when it's not running the card Larger Than Life?

Hehe. Agree, I missed this card from the view, thank you for the hint, maybe I will use it as a featured card for the deck. :)

If you are already running Snow-Covered Forests why not Extraplanar Lens to abuse them??

I use Snow-Covered Forest mainly because other players can play Extraplanar Lens for extra mana from their own snow forests, so I could use it too.

But I think I'll try the Lens in my tests, thank You for the suggestion!

I play Rhonas as one of my decks as well and while it looks weird at first, it really has high potential for a quick kill. You just shouldn't forget one thing, which is that the odds are not in your favour when you play aggro in commander.

I've played my Rhonas twice yesterday and I can only say the most powerful Support creature is definitely Pathbreaker Ibex. If that one resolves and attacks once, at least one opponent is gone for sure. Turn 4 should be the goal, later if it's backed up with removal and protection, because that's when you probably lose to a real combo deck or when control removes all your important stuff. You could do well without the few artifacts you have (maybe Keep the mana artifacts, but not necessarily) and Play Carpet of Flowers, Root Maze, Null Rod and Molder Slug instead. Choke and Prowling Serpopard help to keep the majority of (objectively) better commander decks in check.

You can use Berserk on rhonas everytime and he won't die. Invigorate, Vines of Vastwood, Phytoburst and Might of Old Krosa can easily push through a lot of commander dmg to make the blocks in the mid game already difficult for every defending opponent. I would also say that Triumph of the Hordes and Overwhelming Stampede are a must in green decks that win with combat damage.

Hi Winterblast! You suggested a huge amount of interesting cards! Thank You very much!

And it is very important for me to listen to the opinion of another Rhonas player.

I completely agree with you about the fact that playing agro in 4 man pod full of super fast combo decks has a little chance for victory. Odds become much better when you use infection. But I want to avoid using infection in this deck. That's why It isn't a pure agro deck. I am trying to create a hybrid of combo, control and agro. Maybe its crazy, but I always liked to create versatile decks and for now, the deck works really good.

Yes, from the first glance Rhonas seems like "what? is it playable at all?". But his potential is huge, he can bring early agro pressure, with infection he's insane, he provide decent creature removal for mono-green, he's super cheap body provide greate synergies with a lot of green spells for additional cards/mana/damage, and he is a win con by it self, so combo decks will love him too... When I started to play with the raw version of this deck with my playgroup, they were shocked how fast and dangerous it is.

• Pathbreaker Ibex - it was in maybe and tests. Great creature, maybe I'll try it again.
• I am really like the stax pieces you suggested, actually right before Your comment I added to the maybe Winter Orb and Thorn of Amethyst, these cards could be so mean in this deck.
• I used Berserk in this deck before, and it wasn't so good as it seems, in infectious deck it is a decent finisher, but not in this one. The same goes to the other one-shot buffing spells.

Thanks a lot for all your suggestion! Actually, I would hear Your thoughts about possible cuts in the deck for stax cards.
