Chaospyke on Xu-Ifit and reanimating Clones (Layers, …

How would Xu-Ifit work with Ashaya, Soul of the Wild then? Everything I've seen says that Ashaya's type changing ability would keep applying even if it loses all abilities.

Since your goal is to cycle through lands, you may want to swap out Command Tower, Kazandu Refuge, Rugged Highlands and Temple of Abandon for more fetchlands: Terramorphic Expanse, Vibrant Cityscape, Escape Tunnel, Mountain Valley, Fabled Passage, Jund Panorama, Naya Panorama, Shire Terrace, Promising Vein, Warped Landscape, Terminal Moraine, Demolition Field (this one also serves as removal), Urza's Cave, Blighted Woodland.

It looks like you're going with an Elemental subtheme. How about Zendikar's Roil, Silverglade Elemental, Embodiment of Fury, Embodiment of Insight, Ashaya, Soul of the Wild, Geode Rager, Undergrowth Champion, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, Sandman, Shifting Scoundrel, Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer, Rubblehulk, Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer, Phylath, World Sculptor, Avenger of Zendikar and Rumbleweed to round off the synergies?

Love it! +1ed. I love seeing unique lands strategies, and this is that. Lands matter has been my favorite ability since getting back into the game in ‘17. I’ve got all mono colored commanders picked out for mono colored lands decks. I’ve built two of them using Patron of the Moon for blue and Ashaya, Soul of the Wild for green.

Scapeshift, Primeval Titan, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Explore, Golos, Tireless Pilgrim, Arboreal Grazer, Spelunking, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove would be some cards that are fun.

Springheart Nantuko is such a fun card to build around. there are some many combos i can think of that would be fun with it assuming you trigger the landfall trigger and play for the bestow cost. bestowing it on Arboreal Grazer would make you empty your hand of all lands, bestowing it on Azusa, Lost but Seeking or Dryad of the Ilysian Grove allows you to play an infinite amount of lands, and Golos, Tireless Pilgrim or Primeval Titan as it would allow you to automatically play all the lands in your library... though you would need Spelunking or Amulet of Vigor to make the lands enter untapped. if you really wanna some jank infinite combo, bestow it on Scute Swarm and have Ashaya, Soul of the Wild for infinite scute swarms and landfall triggers. i think the most janky combo i can think of with this card would be Life and Limb, Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, and Mind Bend. if valakut and yavimaya are on the battlefield and you mind bend valakut to replace the mountain text with forest. you can bestow any of your lands and have valakut ping an infinite number of times.

anyways, Springheart Nantuko combo tangent aside, i highly recommend adding either Crucible of Worlds, Conduit of Worlds, Ramunap Excavator, Perennial Behemoth, and/or Walk-In Closet / Forgotten Cellar as it would allow you to recast your fetch lands from your graveyard every turn.

Flarhoon13 on Estrid's Masquerade Ball and Chain

May 3, 2024, I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

Jul 21, with Rich, Ella Marie, Neil, Joseph, Alan

Estrid's Masquerade Ball and Chain Won, record stands at 16-22-1, Satyr Enchanter drew a lot of cards; Winds of Rath killed a lot of creatures; Ley Weaver got Lore Weaver, of course, then Ashaya, Soul of the Wild allowed Ley Weaver to make infinite mana by untapping itself and another land; which, of course, allows Lore Weaver to draw as many cards as I might have liked. Winning the game was not hard at that point. Win percentage goes up to .421

If Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is on the battle field with Zimone, Mystery Unraveler and I manifest dread a card, would ashaya’s second ability cause Zimones second ability to trigger and turn the face down card up? Since manifesting a card makes a 2/2 creatures and ashaya’s second ability makes creatures also land types, thus causing the landfall ability to trigger?

Maaloufler on 7 lands? Good!

Cool deck. Some creature options you might want to consider Cultivator Colossus for a beater, Wild-Field Scarecrow can act as a second Armillary Sphere, Ashaya, Soul of the Wild can help combo for infinite mana with Magus of the Candelabra.

With all the excess mana you're going to be making Jinxed Choker, Goblin Cannon, Rocket Launcher, and Magma Mine are pretty tempting to one shot an opponent.

Protection for your commander can come in a few forms. You're already running a great one, That Which Was Taken. Tyrite Sanctum, can give your commander indestructible. Heroic Intervention can help as well. If you're worried about targeted exile cards like Tamiyo's Safekeeping, Autumn's Veil, and Veil of Summer can help protect.

You can only have 1 commander for an EDH deck. With partner, you may only have 2 commanders as long as both have partner. The partners go with each other, not other non-partner cards. So your commander would either be Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, Ashaya, Soul of the Wild, or Anara, Wolvid Familiar partnered with Ghost of Ramirez DePietro.
