My crucibles always get blown up. It makes me a Sad Panda.

Your line of thinking makes sense, but I still wouldn't go down to 35, 36 at the very minimum, and again it depends on the curve and the number of rocks.

I think I'm going to test The Locust God in my Nekusar deck. It probably won't win a spot as it's not directly related to my win condition, but it's a pretty strong way to help with my own survival in a creature heavy meta. Lots of blockers when I wheel, so it's worth a shot.

Yes, that would work very well. It gets lands in the yard for Gitrog and KotR to bring back with Crucible and Life from the Loam.

Is a 4/3 for 4 fair for this card?

It could be a place for Aggressive Mining?

It is one of the ways I've considered building Saskia the Unyielding. Four colors is overwhelming though. Good stuff aggro?

Does two enchantments for a small amount of life seem pointless?

Enchantments and lands unfortunately don't have enough overlap for my liking other than Overgrown Estate and Dark Heart of the Wood actually being enchantments. I want to play with cards like The Gitrog Monster, Knight of the Reliquary and Titania, Protector of Argoth. Crucible of Worlds and Life from the Loam, and the odds are the deck will need a fair number of enchantments to function so it would be nice if there was some sort of synergy between the two.

Even maybe some kind of Vampire Druid, the first green vampire?

I've got this deck that I want to build, but unfortunately there isn't really a good leader for it.

I'm going to suggest a design for a commander; and I'd like if we could a) take some guesses on what kind of deck I'm looking to build (and make suggestions) and b) try to make the new commander fair.

Avalea, Eternal

Legendary Creature - Dryad Cleric

Whenever you cast an enchantment spell you may sacrifice a land. If you do, draw a card.

Sacrifice two enchantments: gain life equal to the number of land cards in your graveyard.

4/3

That's the only thing that makes sense to me. But...incomplete cycles of gods make me a sad panda.

The Scorpion God!

I thought somebody called attention to some card art that suggested Neheb died a Glorious End just a little while ago.

I ignore things that have since been errata'd lol

I guess I did show what hemisphere I'm living in though

Torn apart and swallowed by zombie crocodiles? On-screen death? Razaketh isn't coming back. That was quite the story though. Id like to see Raz have a Merieke Ri Berit-like ability. Maybe something that bleeds you to make it more painful.

I think the Veil is going to have some role to play in Liliana going out on her own. How, I don't know, but a return to Dominaria seems like a good coming home story for Lili.

Rotation is in the fall. Always.

I really want to find a way to make Saheeli + Sun Titan viable. She's so combo-y.

Constricting Sliver is also pretty disgusting, although risky if you run into a lot of sweepers.

My buddy plays Sliver Overlord and its oppressive when he has the mana to tutor up a Crystalline Sliver and some other silly shenanigans. Usually a Hivelord...

I think whats happening is I've mashed landfall elements and a lot of enchantments together (plus a pod chain and Wild Pairs) and it only ran smoothly if you had certain pieces in place. Landfall needs either Life from the Loam or Crucible of Worlds with Admonition Angel, Rampaging Baloths, Omnath, Locus of Rage or Titania, Protector of Argoth to be most effective (optimally with an Exploration effect too, and then Mayael is the mana sink. On top of that I need to have some protection in place, so it just feels clunky at times.

This deck is currently undergoing a rework. It's become a clunky removal magnet. I'll have to consider that when it's time, but right now it's not working.
