legendofa on Should the Number of Mana …

2 months ago

Mana Leak vs. Counterspell. Murder vs. Vanquish the Weak. Greenweaver Druid vs. Llanowar Tribe. There aren't a ton of cards that are directly comparable for color weight and effect, keeping rarity the same, but my general statement is that the more specific the mana cost is, the better the effect is. There's probably a handful of counterexamples, but I submit that not only should it be the case, it generally is the case.

Fun deck!!!
Your combo is cool but very unlikely. You would want to add a few ways to tutor up the artifacts to get better consistency.
Hoarding Dragon , Kuldotha Forgemaster , Inventors' Fair and Gamble could help.
Shared Summons could get forgemaster and toymaker. Crop Rotation can get inventor's fair.
Also you might consider a few more instants to make scepter more useful if he doesnt happen in to vitalize. Ancient Grudge and Fog seem good.
Also you may want more mana dorks to enable the combo with vitalize scepter. Palladium Myr works as would Fyndhorn Elder , Greenweaver Druid , Nantuko Elder , Whisperer of the Wilds , these are also decent ramp cards in general.
Cheers!!

Have you considered replacing the Greenweaver Druid with Llanowar Tribe?

PROS

1. They have the same CMC (3)

2. GD cost 2G, but LT is GGG, so it gives you +2 green devotion

3. GD taps for GG, but LT taps for GGG

4. GD is 1/1, but LT is 3/3 which gives you +2 power for Ghalta's cost reduction

5. Since LT is literally 3 Llanowar Elves stapled together, the artwork is 3 historic artworks of Llanowar Elves standing side by side

CONS

1. GD cost $0.13, but LT cost $0.51

GrizzlyAtom: Just wanted to say that I absolutely loved the list! Safe to say you hit the nail on the head on almost all of your choices. However, I do highly recommend you make a couple of changes for the general consistency of the deck.

Cuts & Why

• Wirewood Elf : Heart Warden is strictly better if you absolutely must. Though I wouldn't waste time on a 2 cmc 1 mana dork.

• Seeker of Skybreak : Same thing as before, though considerably weaker since you NEED the dork to be out, so this is a potential dead draw or another 2 drop 1 mana dork.

• Krosan Restorer : I get the need to overload the deck with repetitive effects, but this can over saturate your deck with non impactful creatures.

• Greenweaver Druid : This is just bad, even with the cost reduction.

• Elvish Piper : With the lack of high cmc creatures, this is just a gimmicky card we wish can always run.

• Elvish Harbinger : Though being a two thanks to Nylea, top of the deck tutors aren't too great.

• Birthing Pod : Without being able to untap it, this is just a worse Eldritch Evolution .

• Sword of the Paruns ; As you said, 7 mana is too much.

• Elvish Guidance / Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip: I get why you want to run this, but it ain't worth it to run both. I'd drop the Rites over the Guidance, since you can use Arbor Elf on a forest with guidance.

• Leyline of Lifeforce : You have enough of this effect, even if this would be super awesome turn 0.

• Revive / Return to Nature / Naturalize : There are better cards for this available to us.

• Once Upon a Time : Doesn't scale too well in EDH.

Suggestions

These won't be direct swaps to the cuts and more of a series of cards that you should highly consider as I don't want to cramp your style.

• Dryad Arbor : t1 Green Sun's Zenith makes it ramp, Elvish Guidance makes it a dork (remember it's not an elf), adds one more mana with Leyline of Abundance , and all at the cost of a land swap.

• Emergence Zone : Adds the ability to set up OR win on someone elses' turn for a land swap.

• Force of Vigor / Nature's Claim : Free spell/1 drop that are way better than your current cards in these slots.

• Oakhame Adversary : Draw to get your combo pieces and an elf for your count. More often or not a 2 drop in most cEDH metas and a 1 drop in some cases for you.

• Runic Armasaur : More draw, draw from fetches and creature based combos.

• Ohran Frostfang : This card is bonkers. Turning your whole field into Ohran Viper s definitely gives you the steam you need to keep staxing it up on your way to your win con.

• Seedborn Muse : I know what you're thinking, "I barely have instants". Your commander is an indestructible digger, every turn you'd get to refill your hand.

• The Stax pieces: Go for them, you have the outlet in the command zone and you break parity with mana dorks and a cost reducer at the helm. Tangle Wire , Trinisphere . Root Maze , Manglehorn , Collector Ouphe , Null Rod , Winter Orb , Thorn of Amethyst , Sphere of Resistance and maybe Defense Grid are worth it. Hall of Gemstone :Not good because it can lock out interaction that could be needed to stop another player.

• Regal Force : You need the gas and you're going wide. Makes your Tooth and Nail better.

• Great Oak Guardian : Recognize that your wins are generated by untaps, and an instant speed board untapper is a recipe for success. It can also save your field from damage wipes and goes infinite with Temur Sabertooth . Also makes Tooth and Nail better.

• Natural Order / Eldritch Evolution :

• Carpet of Flowers : Ridiculous ramp, 100% must.

• Mox Diamond / Chrome Mox : More ramp, gets us out of the gate faster and cEDH is all about speed.

• Beast Within : Catch-all removal in monogreen. Definitely a staple.

• Regrowth : Because it's better than Revive .

• Skullwinder : Because it's better than Revive and can be repeated.

I hope this helps, I love the deck, will be keeping up with it. Final recommendation would be to use a similar categorization that I used in Yeva for your list as it helps you visualize your deck based off function and see where it is lacking.

Omnath as main damage outlet (Go Tall)

• Plenty of creature based mana ramp from elves like Greenweaver Druid , Selvala, Heart of the Wilds , and Oracle of Mul Daya as well as all the classic elf ramp cards like Llanowar Elves
• Mana ramp sorcery spells like Tempt with Discovery and Traverse the Outlands
• Increase Mana generation from each land per turn with cards like Doubling Cube , Vernal Bloom , Wilderness Reclamation , Bear Umbra , Caged Sun , and Nature's Will
• Increase the Mana generation from each tapped creature each turn from cards like Leyline of Abundance , and increase the amount of mana gained by having more elves with cards like Wirewood Channeler , Rishkar, Peema Renegade , Priest of Titania , and Joraga Treespeaker .
• Increase both of the above with Seedborn Muse , which, along with Tempt with Discovery , only gets stronger the more opponents you have.

Elf synergy as secondary source of damage (Go Wide)

• Pump elves with other elves with help of cards like Elvish Archdruid , Elvish Champion , Ezuri, Renegade Leader Imperious Perfect , and Joraga Warcaller
• Elf token creation with cards with Elvish Promenade , Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury , and Imperious Perfect

Protection for both commander and high value Elves

• Basic equipment like Lightning Greaves , Swiftfoot Boots , Darksteel Plate , and Whispersilk Cloak to slow down or stop removal
• Asceticism , Stonehoof Chieftain , Archetype of Endurance , and Vigor as creatures and enchantments to protect your board.

Win Condition enablers

• Helix Pinnacle to use up mana on if Omnath is ever about to be destroyed.
• Triumph of the Hordes for trample and infect for a fast win combines with other trample abilities from cards like Stonehoof Chieftain , and Ezuri, Renegade Leader to allow you to force damage through.
• Hydra's like Primordial Hydra and Hydra Broodmaster provide other mana outlets to instantly set up fast overwhelming armies.

Replace Greenweaver Druid with Argothian Elder . It's better mana and can create inf. mana with Wirewood Lodge .
