Woodland Bellower & # of Targets
Commander (EDH) forum

So I recently put Woodland Bellower into my Vorel and his Merry Counters deck since I found I had 10 targets for it. So my question for all of you is, how many targets would you want for Woodland Bellower to include it in your Green decks?

To me it all depends on what the non legendary green creatures do

Ok, best case scenario, what do you want to hit. You're probably putting this in a deck that NEEDS these cards, so you have to consider that. If it's a bunch of manadorks and a utility creature or two, then no, don't run it, because Woodland Bellower into Fyndhorn Elves is awful. (As far as bellowing through the woodlands goes, of course.)

I like it with a package of Borderland Ranger, Eternal Witness, and Reclamation Sage. Ulvenwald Tracker is also a real guy to get.

My favorite target would probably be Shaman of Forgotten Ways since it immediately goes online.

shaman is also pretty good. I think I like Eternal Witness more unless you've got a pretty good board state to back up the shaman choice.

Grabbing Fauna Shaman or Trygon Predator could also be pretty sweet.

Yeah, I'm including him b/c my targets are: Experiment One, Den Protector (Non-bo, I know), Zameck Guildmage, Trygon Predator, Champion of Lambholt, Gyre Sage, Kavu Predator, Scavenging Ooze, Elusive Krasis, and Predator Ooze. Not counting spell Hydras, which are also non-bos. I feel like each of these provides enough utility for Woodland Bellower to be included. Although I should probably get an Eternal Witness to put in somewhere.

If I had just ONE 3cmc card that I reeeeeally wanted on the field every game, I'd probably play Woodland Bellower
