fuster on Mana flooding is a good thing?!?!?!

Craeter Sorry for the late reply; I actually took a bit of hiatus from the game. The problem with Druid Class and Ovinomancer is that they're both a bit too slow for the deck. For 3 mana, I'd rather run Beast Within and have extra versatility to remove non-creature permanents.

Lifegift isn't really something I'd benefit from. The lifegain of my commander is just incidental and my deck doesn't revolve around lifegain. This card doesn't actually do anything to help me further advance my gameplan.

I did try playing Conduit of Worlds in the deck when it first came out, but I actually cut the card for Ancient Greenwarden because Reach and double triggers are more useful abilities for me. Conduit is further hampered by the fact that I can't use it to recur instants or sorceries, which is what I find myself recurring most often with this deck.

I think my top priority now is figuring out replacements for Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus, since apparently they both got banned while I was taking my hiatus.

Wow great job with the story, the imagery is absolutely stellar. And the characters seem unique and described vividly, very impressive for such a short story. Kudos for that and this deck construction.

It's cool to see you've included Calming Verse, I remember you mentioning that on my Arcades deck.

I see that Landfall / Ramp is the main premise to the deck, curious how does that tie into the Commander? I'm probably just not seeing the interaction, but wouldn't you want to include some cards like Opposition to manipulate Archelos and the battlefield? Does Verity Circle work with this Commander? I'm guessing not since it says "become tapped" and the Commander makes them ETB already tapped, but it would be cool if it worked.

Also do you know about Conduit of Worlds? It's very similar to Crucible of Worlds, but it allows for recursion and redundancy with Crucible. Druid Class is also super good for decks like this. Maybe Lifegift as well

Druid Class, Lifegift, Ovinomancer, Conduit of Worlds would make good potential additions here, I run these in my Legacy Land Deck

IMO the most efficient lifegain cards are Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, and Essence Warden, followed by Leonin Elder, Spectrum Sentinel, Profane Memento, The Meathook Massacre, Auriok Champion, and Lifegift. They all scale absurdly well with multiple opponents.

Powerleech : would be great

Quiet Disrepair , Retreat to Hagra , Retreat to Kazandu , Jaddi Offshoot , Grazing Gladehart , Kazandu Nectarpot , Lifegift : Landfall and upkeep triggers. Run a land ramp package thanks to green to capitalize on these effects. Very budget friendly options

Zuran Orb / Dark Heart of the Wood : Eat the lands you accrued through the game. Throw in Splendid Reclamation for lolz and sac them all again

Hey! I think that this deck should use Miren, the Moaning Well . It's a way of regaining life with a creature that will die because of some effect. It makes you gain a lot of life and increases the effect of Willowdusk's ability.

About the untap effects outside of blue, you can use Thousand-Year Elixir or Magewright's Stone . About combos... well, if you use sacrifice effects (e.g. Ashnod's Altar ), you could try the Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion -like combos (actually, these two work alone, but some combos needs a sac outlet). Depending of other cards, loops with Mikaeus, sacrifice outlets and creatures with Persist could also work.

An artifact like Eternity Vessel can reset your life (if I remember well, having your life total become some value counts as lifegain).

Maybe creatures like Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper or Reyhan, Last of the Abzan works well inside this deck. As instants or sorceries... the only one that came to my mind now is Weather the Storm , which can be very interesting in some situations.

Why use cards like Jaddi Offshoot (gains you only one life), Dash Hopes (I think that's an unreliable counterspell and the 5 life is a low cost in EDH), Blunt the Assault (I think that this card is pretty bad, maybe a card like Gray Merchant of Asphodel gains you much more life while drains your opponents) or Lifegift (it won't make you gain a lot of life on the same turn)?
