My take on a Omnath, Locus of Rage deck. It goes for burn through sacrificing the elemental tokens, or beatdown through massive trample creatures. Play ramp and land recursion to generate tokens. Then attack with them recklessly, intending to have some die to deal straight burn.

Some of my favourites are Nissa, Nature's Artisan, and Savage Beating (Or both!) to swing for a lot of damage.

Since we ramp a lot of land that means a lot of mana which means Comet Storm can be used to deal large amounts of damage to your opponent(s). And another good burn is Soulblast, with just 4 tokens and Omnath out you can deal 40 damage (Soulblast deals 25 and Omnath deals 15). However, Omnath has to go to the graveyard to deal the last 3 of the 15 damage.

Grafted Exoskeleton and Triumph of the Hordes provide a nice way to get an alternative wincon/deal with indestructible problem creatures.

Tunneling Geopede and Purphoros, God of the Forge add additional ways to deal damage, especially late game if Omnath is too expensive to cast.

Scryb Ranger/Quirion Ranger to combo with Walking Atlas for lots of landfall. This works especially well with Cinder Glade and Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle for lots of burn.

Flamekin Harbinger/Chord of Calling/Green Sun's Zenith to tutor elementals such as Bane of Progress.

More effects that recur land and let me play multiple a turn are needed. My Maybeboard is mostly cards I want to buy and put in, or cards of note that could be good in the deck.

Suggestions welcome!
