THB Update + IKO —Jan. 4, 2020
Theros beyond death looks pretty good for land matter decks! First off Nylea's Intervention. It is an excellent card for in Mina and Denn and is going to replace Yavimaya Elder. Searching for a large amount of non-basic lands is obviously amazing in this deck. While at 3 mana it can still get us 2 landdrops by fetching Gruul Turf, mimicking what the elder did for the deck. It also doubles as a flying board wipe to boot! Such versatility. Love this card.
The new Dryad of Ilysia’s Grove is also super sweet. Great with valakut combo, but also relevant without it due to it’s other ability (and thus, way better than Prismatic Omen in edh). I will test this in place of Burgeoning. I have also taken out Ghost Town for a while as a result to test Cryptic Caves.
Some other tweaks: I have switched out Maze of Ith for Thaumatic Compass Flip. I can't remember the last time I searched for Maze with a tutor, so thaumatic compass becomes a little bit better card in most situations. Also going to test Tendershoot Dryad instead of Nesting Dragon and switched out Misty Rainforest for Arid Mesa for a more even off-color fetch distribution.

From Ikoria and Commander 2020, the only card I’m adding here is Deflecting Swat. It does a better job of why Reverberate was in the list. This card can counter counterspells, redirect spells with multiple targets as well as powerful abilities such as Aetherflux Reservoir. All for free if M&D are out, which is often.
Hey. No need to apologize ;). What I mean with that is that Mina and Denn, Wildborn is a ramp card that sits in the command zone. So they provide your deck with easy access to ramp.
If you have Tatyova, Benthic Druid as your commander you could say they are card-draw in the command zone. Meaning they provide easy access to card-draw if you build that deck.

Hey blacksh1ft,
A good question :). I wasn’t sure at first, but I think it is not worth the include. It’s OK if you have land recursion, but I’d rather have a fetch in that situation.
I think this card is a lot better if you can also combine it with lands like Flagstones of Trokair or with land aura’s + an untapper like Deserted Temple . It doesn’t seem to shine in my M&D list.
Thanks for the suggestion!

That seems like a more expensive and incidental Harmonize . Not a contender for this deck or any edh deck I reckon. There are way better draw options.

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy playing this deck, too much that I'm in the process of foiling most of the parts. :D Thank you so much for this :)

You may want to include Field of the Dead into the "tokens" column, increasing the number of token generators from 9-10.

Hey theninja97.
I tried adding lands to categories before, but I personally prefer to not do that. It allows me to see all the non-land spots at a glance, as well as the balance between them. That overview is quite nice to have when deciding on including new cards. Besides Field of the Dead there are a lot of lands that ramp, or that could be considered a hate card. So adding all of those to categories would mess up that overview quite a bit.
