I'm a guy but I get it, the description/list is still being updated. Lands usually are the last to be updated, even in a land deck.
Have you considered adding Berserk? Super powerful in your build, easy to cast and can even be used on opposing creatures for some surprise politics.
Nature's Lore/Three Visits > Rampant growth
I like how u run both Cultivator collusus and sylvan library, nice synergy. Speaking of sylvan library synergy, Life from the Loam might be worth considering for both it's own value + it's synergy with library. More synergy with life from the loam includes Realms Uncharted, but that's if you dedicate a lot more non-basics. You do have a lot of cards to recur lands so its worth noting.
Lastly, (I understand ur still updating the list, its just worth noting that) you have 97 cards in your deck currently.

Profet93 so between us girls I didn't do my complete edits to the list- lands were the LAST thing I added ad have received the least amount of edits. You did make great points about things I wanted to add like Yavimaya and Boseiju, now regarding Farseek.. that was just a brain fart on my part. It'll be what gets replaced with Springbloom Druid or Nissa's Pilgrimage.

Farseek - But the only basics you have are forests and farseek doesn't get a forest. What am I missing here? I'm trying to wrap my head around this.
Speaking of lands, have you considered adding any non-basics? I understand you need a lot of basics from your strategy + early game. Crop rotation in particular would warrant some nonbasics. Some non-basics to consider include....
Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal
Castle Garenbrig - Ramp
Yavimaya Hollow - Regen + politics, expensive but could be worth it depending on how much you're trying to drop on this deck.
Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Not a strong inclusion as it could help your opponents more than you. The benefit being able to tap your fetchs for mana when needed and sac them when you don't (especially for top of deck cards like Oracle of Mul Daya).

Profet93 all valid points.
-
Farseek is just a two Mana 'go fetch a basic' in this list, and is a free slot to replace with better tech. It exists for redundancy sake here.
-
Pilgrimage is good, fair point. Will replace something with it.
-
Sylvan Safekeeper was on the radar but you're right- it messed with some of my synergies.
-
33 lands does seem thin but being able to reliably manipulate at least 21 Forests seems to make the deck function alright. I'll need more time to provide a more succinct answer.

Why not add 1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth since you’ve got street wraith?

Andramalech +1
I understand ur first 2 points. Regarding farseek, what plains, island, mountain or swamp are you getting? I dont see any of those land types in the deck.
Nissa's Pilgrimage > Cultivate/Kodama's reach
Sylvan Safekeeper - Seems like a potential inclusion. While shroud could mess up some of your strategies, being able to sac a land (and presumably replay it assuming no other land drops) and protect your creature from removal, or even bait removal, seems pretty strong.
Lastly, while I understand the super fast curve on this deck, do you feel 33 lands is enough for a land deck/what you're trying to achieve? I know you're still testing it, just wanted to bring that into consideration.

Profet93 first and foremost, thanks for commenting! Don't forget to hit me with an upvote!

Tifa had Trample stapled to her- so Rancor and Audacity compete for similar space for similar reasons, and wasn't up to snuff for what I wanted from my one mana slot. To extend another example of my own playstyle, I'd rather handle that issue at two Mana with something like Sphere Grid.
-
Vines of Vastwood as well as Giant Growth among many others are all on my radar for buff at one. Need to test play and experiment to understand how much I wanna balance that out.
-
Farseek is a long time favorite of mine for the two Mana 'go fetch a land' cards. I'm also experimenting at that value to determine if I need more Beanstalk Wurm type cards, or Springbloom Druid type cards. Does that make sense?
-
This idea is SUUUUPER new, so the best and most effective ways to run it will take time to emerge. Cheers for challenging me to think about how I'm tackling this.

I'll try to take a deeper look later but from a first glance, would Rancor be a good fit? Reuseable, cheap, and can put on another creature (because politics).
Vines of Vastwood > giant growth? - 2 mana vs. 1 but much more benefits. Pretty helpful in a commander reliant deck.
EDIT: Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, how does farseek benefit you?

This list has helped me with deciding what cards I should get for my Jodah deck! And as you requested, Leyline of the Guildpact would really slap for this deck and really buff up your Ramos, dragon engine and if you decide to put it in, Mana cannons!

Thank you for the tips DreadKhan.
The Demon of Dark Schemes sounds pretty dope TBH. Even if my little tokens don't have enough +1/+1 counters for whatever reason and die they at least boost the charges so the Demon can start ressing right away next turn. But on the other hand feels a little situational and roundabout. I will have to sit on that one for a bit I guess.
The Mitotic Slime on the other hand really caught my attention. I will totally add it in possibilities in maybeboard for sure. Continuous branching token creation sounds like a good match.
The Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose could be fun with Progenitus as far as I know Progenitus cannot be target of anything but Vito's activated ability is an area effect and not target so should be possible to make unblockable 10/10 lifelink with the double damage from Vito's passive. Combine that with Rafiq of the Many or Gisela, Blade of Goldnight and you got another one hit KO. But VERY unprobable one. Sounds good enough. HOWEVER, my secondary deck that I have in private is leftovers from this deck and it has stuff like Heroes Remembered,Souls of the Faultless,Agent of Masks and couple of lifelink creatures on its own. So I can reaaaally see Vito in the second deck for sure!
The Legacy Weapon seems simple and effective and fitting well into my deck so I will add that one for sure!
I really think I have more than enough cards in the side and maybe already so now I need some counsel on what is completelly useless in those tabs and could be removed to tidy it up a bit. Obviously if there is still a card that is MUST HAVE and I do not have it listed I would like to see it. And then some help what cards are the most useless and could be replaced in the deck itself to make space for the new ones. Especially the 2 new tutors I have on the side now. Because those would help substantially if I have a 1 half of an one shot combo in the hand and need to fetch the other key part.

Balaam__ knowing just how fickle and hard-pressed it is to receive your attention for decks, let alone a comment AND the upvote all at once..? I'm going to super invest in the deck description just for you. I'm excited for how straight-forward this deck seems to be, and it's quickly become one of my favorite investments from the new set.

There is currently zero content contained in your description, and I don’t care. I saw Tifa, glanced at the deck’s basic path-to-win and promptly smashed the upvote button.

I noticed you were looking at recurring cards, ideally repeatedly? If you just want creatures back one of the best solutions is Demon of Dark Schemes, this can be part of an infinite combo fairly easily (see stuff like Warren Soultrader and Mitotic Slime, maybe a Zulaport Cutthroat), and it can kill off a ton of weenies sometimes to boot.
If you like Gisela and Hidetsugu, you might also like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose! If he gives Hidetsugu Lifelink you'll not only not die, you'll gain life, and Vito's static will then allow you to kill whomever is the biggest threat! If you can repeat it you can win on the spot, otherwise you'll probably win next turn. I think Vito's two abilities work with other combat damage strategies fwiw, effectively doubling combat damage to players (in the form of lost life, not Commander damage) for 5 mana isn't bad, especially when you're also gaining life, that can be quite a life swing.
I'm not sure how many counters you tend to build up over the course of a game, but I love using Legacy Weapon in my Sisay, Weatherlight Captain deck as an infinite mana payoff. It'd be a great draw if you've got a bajillion counters and you can't swing, sniping anything you want is pretty handy.

Hi again! Also, I wanted to note that your deck is not a Pauper EDH deck. I did take a look. Rogue's Passage unfortunately is not pauper legal. :/

Hi there! I have been running the one copy of Escape Tunnel. I may make other changes to the mana base in the future. I just re-vamped the whole deck and realize I need to make some changes. Playtesting for the next couple weeks and then I'll have a better idea what I need to do and whether or not my first run choices were solid or not.
Thanks for the input! I appreciate the post!

If I'm not missing something, I think you could let Stranglehold go. Both of its abilities are powerful, but I think it'll often be just a dead card on board.
Btw, I've never seen Fissure before. Cool card. MV5 seems a lot, but an unconditional instant speed kill spell in red is pretty great.

Initial thoughts after first RCQ (see above):
- I was expecting/prepared for Boros Energy, Izzet Prowess, Tron, and Amulet. Did not see much of any in the room at the RCQ.
- Overperforming Cards: Faithless Looting (highly recommend/must have), Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury (stop trimming, this is a mandatory 4 of), and the 2x Deafening Silence in the SB are here to stay!!
- Underperforming Cards: Winternight Stories, Nishoba Brawler
- Meh Cards That are just must have fillers: Lightning Bolt, Stubborn Denial
Potential Changes:
- -1 Winternight Stories & +1 Kiora, the Rising Tide
- Find room for 2x Mystical Dispute's in the Sideboard

How has playing with 40 lands been like for you with an avg 4.2 cmc? Have you considered swapping out 1-3 lands for either ramp or card draw? Speaking of lands, here are some lands you might find useful.
Castle Garenbrig - Ramp
Turntimber, Serpentine Wood Flip - Big creature
War Room
- Draw
Yavimaya Hollow - Regen + Politics
Beast Within - Removal
Deflecting Swat - Protection, politics. Redirect counterspells, targeted removal, extra turns and draw. Ability to bluff while tapped out is nice.
Heroic Intervention - Protection
Your creature choices seem solid like most xenagos decks. I do wonder how Realm Seakers and panglacial wurm have been playing for you, +1

Spyrechild Unfortunately, I think that for as sweet as the lore/art for Ultima Weapon is, it's too inefficient. WotC committing to the bit to have the buff, cmc and equip cost all be 7's is cute, but it's just a worse Argentum Armor :(
Similarly, Beatrix, Loyal General is a really expensive Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist. Which is a shame, considering how vanilla she is otherwise for the cost

Hi Fox_Thot,
I did not consider Consider, could give that a go, although it only digs 1 card deep it saves me a cast. Surveil indeed is better than scry in this deck, I'd like to include a set if the surveil lands but they are a bit on the expensive side for the moment.
Thanks for the input and take care!
