Omnath and his army of Lands Playtest
Commander / EDH*
SCORE: 0 | 0 COMMENTS | 126 VIEWS
I feel like i've been taking the new Omnath into a different direction than everyone else, and I don't really know anyone who has ever done this before. I decided to make this deck work around his landfall effect, but also using said lands to do controlly things with Rishadan Port and Strip Mine. I also have a superfriends subtheme which I feel like will play out really well.
Which leads me to why I need help exactly. I'm not sure whether I should take some of the more established R/G Commander things (Borborygmos, Titania) and put them in or not. I am considering Titania, because, mini omnath. But I am also considering Borborygmos because he synergizes well with Life from the Loam and Crucible of Worlds. If I were to put these two in, what should I take out? Also, this is my first R/G EDH deck, so did I miss any super important piece? Thanks.

Because Im not trying to discard lands, I'm trying to play them. In this deck, discarding a land is like throwing away a free 5/5 (It is just like it, actually).

Titania, Protector of Argoth is a staple in this dec (in my opinion) Because she returns a land. If that land were a fetch land, you get two 5/5s from omnath, titania ( who is an elemental herself) and a 5/3 elemental. If an opponent decides to boardwipe, that's 20 damage to their face! Perilous Forays is also great in Omnath!

Scapeshift might be a good card to add, and if you do, also put Valakut in.

borosgruul2 just a small point, Omnath deals 3, not 5, so you'd deal 15 as opposed to 25, it's still a lot though and Titania is one of the front runners for Omnath.
Another synergy Titania has is with fetch lands (I feel Omnath should play a very high number of fetches for optimum results because it's one life for an extra trigger) as Titania will also trigger on fetches, giving you 3 elementals overall (Play fetch-Omnath, Crack fetch- Titania, Drop new land-Omnath again). I dream of having Omnath, Titania, Amulet of Vigor and Scapeshift so I can make >28 elementals in one turn (assuming you cast Scapeshift off just lands so you actually have 7 and then search out 7 fetches)
Or as was previously stated, go with Perilous Forays and the amulet to go infinite on land searches and get one elemental at the end. Add in Warstorm Surge on either of these combos and you can kill off the entire table, although I think the 28 elementals in the first should do it just fine

Another note, Where Ancients Tread works just like Warstorm surge

Why not Seismic Assault and/or Molten Vortex? It's not necessarily as good as a bolt, but it enters way faster, making it so damage can go through quicker.
