Updated land base —May 26, 2019

I had some extra money laying around and was bored, so I decided to invest in an updated land base. It seems to be much more consistent now.

As always, feel free to give me suggestions for change as long as you provide a suggested cut as well.

I've got a similar God deck that runs less off the Enchantment bit and more off indestructible. I've found a lot of use out of the Avatars like Avatar of Woe and Avatar of Slaughter

Also had great success with the Praetor's, which are kinda like Phyrexian Gods. Of course the trick with them is to keep them on the field for more than a turn...

I looked and saw you removed Child of Alara quite some time ago. Curious as to why. I run her as my commander in my 5 color edh deck. I cay mine functions rather diffferently as it is primarily a ramp heavy deck, using as many ways as I can to search for non basics. The way I have used mine is to keep the child out as much as possible to discourage other players from getting too far ahead on the board while I get situated. My reason for asking is in this regard she functions great and with all those indestructible gods you have it seems like she would fit well.

I'm pretty sure the color identity of Ramos would be considered colorless not 5 colors.

sentientslayer the color identity is determined by any mana symbols on the card, General Tazri is a five color commander because of his ability. The only time you ignore a symbol is in reminder text for things like extort, Crypt Ghast is the best example, it is in mono black decks despite the reminder text

Hyperalgialysis actually u r wrong, devotion is only determined by the mana color symbols required to summon the permanent...the mana symbols in the abilities do not count towards devotion...

So Ramos dragon engine provides no devotion where as progenitus provides 2 of each color to devotion

I'm curious to know which Elspeth you actually have in the deck. Under planeswalkers you have suns champion but in the list of tokens and emblems you have the emblem for knights errant.

uwshoward98 It's definitely Sun's Champion. I've never even had Knight Errant in the deck, so I'm not sure why it lists her emblem.

ElendVenture I put this deck together not long after you had originally posted it and it did have both Knight Errant and Sun's Champion.

Great deck by the way.

Krasher247 One thing is devotion and other thing is color identity. Hyperalgialysis was refering to color identity as Ramos is the commander, no dev

Krasher247, you are confusing 2 terms.

Devotion is a count if the mana symbols in the cost of a spell. In this regard, Ramos provides no devotion.

However, color identity is a commander format term. It defines the colors a card fits into, and counts all mana symbols outside of rules reminder text printed on a card to determine what colors the card is. Ramos is WUBRG, because his ability to remove counters to make mana contains all 5 mana symbols.

The first post referenced identity, to which the guy you said was wrong had responded to correctly.

Ramos is a 5 color commander.
