Land Hate help (4 color)
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 4, 2016, 6:14 p.m. by Unlife
I've decided to build a non group hug deck with Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. I want to help my opponents ramp while simultaneously dropping land hate that makes them suffer the more lands they play, things such as Ankh of Mishra, Burning Earth and Zo-Zu the Punisher. What other land hate cards are there I could run? I'm looking for about 14-18 for the deck.

Obsidian Fireheart? Although he's pretty bad in EDH

The only things I found even close to more cards like those are Tectonic Instability, Invader Parasite, Overabundance, Scald, Storm Cauldron, and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger.
Most, if not all of those, are not exactly the type of cards that seem like they would be all that powerful in the deck you're building... However, maybe among the following cards, you might find cards you like that are close enough to that strategy: Avatar of Fury, Gift of Estates, Knight of the White Orchid, Land Tax, Oreskos Explorer, Rivalry, Surveyor's Scope, Tithe, Weathered Wayfarer, Acidic Soil, Carpet of Flowers, Ignition Team, Price of Progress, Power Surge (This one is really the only one that I really like...), and Primal Order.

Why not play Karma, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Personal Sanctuary?

I think it would be cool if you could pull off something akin to the legacy lands deck in EDH, complete with Dark Depths and all. Idk if that's what your going for, but it doesn't seem too farfetched. As for hate, I don't think you can play anything better than Crucible of Worlds/Life from the Loam with your choice of land that destroys other lands (Tectonic Edge, Strip Mine, Encroaching Wastes, etc.). Just use a bunch of seemingly group hug cards that let your opponents play additional lands and hurt them for doing so, yet disrupt them by constantly destroying their extra lands with LD. Eventually your opponents just won't have lands and will be at a low life total, allowing you to win by any means you see fit.

Thanks for all the help guys. This is the deck prototype, and surprisingly affordable. Let me know what you guys think, I'm wondering about cutting a bit of life gain for a bit more pain/land hate. I did shy away from the Crucible of Worlds/Strip Mine effect as I have it in another deck already, and i don't want to be considered too much of a threat before I'm ready to crush them.

Shattered Angel doesn't punish your opponents, but it does cushion your life quite a bit, especially with the damage you would be taking from the cards you listed. Manabarbs is similar to Burning Earth.
