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.

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?

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.

I could be wrong, but since your deck cares about lands I would make an effort to include more land ramp, artifacts seem to get blown up a lot anyways. I would use Wood Elves over arcane signet (or Dawntreader Elk?), replacing Sol Ring is harder, but there is Crop Rotation. Finding a Coffer or Urborg at the right time is a much bigger effect than Sol Ring. Deserted Temple is a good card in here with Coffers. Since you have Urborg and Coffers in here I wonder about Hour of Promise and/or Tempt with Discovery, if you can cheat out 2 or 3 lands at once you can probably cast your Commander and go off.

Not sure if it's really a 'good' card, but Silverglade Pathfinder can dig lands out repeatedly, your Commander is high enough MV that this might be worth doing.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is interesting in here, but especially if you've got something like Selvala, Heart of the Wilds out. Ashaya also works very well with your landfall effects.

I'm not sure if you need to stack up activations, but if you reanimate your Commander you can activate him again, so maybe some of the lower to the ground reanimation effects, stuff like Reanimate, Life / Death, and Animate Dead. They are pretty big ramp if you have a sac outlet and your Commander out.

I'm not sure if it's outside your playgroups boundaries, but Pitiless Plunderer is very good with Chatterfang. It's not a combo, but if you've got lots of Pests kicking around there is Savra, Queen of the Golgari, she's budget compared to Dictate of Erebos and might fit in here.

Using Tiamat as the commander, casting and fetching Ziatora, the Incinerator and Kura, the Boundless Sky you can use the land tutor and treasures to do the following combos.

Consider adding Inventors' Fair, This can be tutored for by Kura and can then fetch Maskwood Nexus.

Faceless Haven could also be a good add, by fetching it, and Inventor's Fair, you could then fetch The Book of Exalted Deeds, if you add it, and get that combo out.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild would allow all creatures to also be landfall triggers.
