Since Avenger of Zendikar counts as a (Forest) land when Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is in play, it can be returned with Gruul Turf.

The only zone that has permanents "you control" is the battlefield. Compare Ashaya's wording to Arcane Adaptation, for example.

(This is a landfall deck)

Example- Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is on the battlefield, I then tap mana and cast Avenger of Zendikar. This is done before I play any lands this turn. In my hand I have Gruul Turf and play it. Am I able bounce Avenger of Zendikar to my hand and recast given I have enough mana to do so?

I also have another question regarding Ashaya, Soul of the Wild. Do creatures in my graveyard count as land creatures or is that outside of my control? Really what zones count as "my control."

You should run more interaction (stuff that disables / kills opponents' stuff) because it's just a good thing to have around in case you need it. also, you should cut Unclaimed Territory for Yavimaya Coast, because your deck doesn't have a lot of creatures with the same creature type (human, beast, elf) eliminating its maximum effectiveness. also, Avenger of Zendikar is overall good for ezuri because it makes tokens (generating exp) and buffs those tokens.

kirbysan Vraan is a complete tragedy and it pains me to even think about.

At this point I'd probably agree that Dark Prophecy is better than Weatherlight Compleated. I'm definitely gonna replace it, but I'm not sure if prophecy is going back in. Triple black is super tough and a Village Rites type card might be better. I also like jelwell's Imperial Seal suggestion. I've also been realized recently how strong Solitude would be in our list. It's another copy of Swords to Plowshares and while it does 2-for-1 us, it makes up for it by costing 0 mana, giving us a death trigger, and being a reanimation target.

jelwell I wouldn't say Body Launderer is a very good recursion card. It's nice that it's on a creature, but it's not consistent since we need a sac outlet. Conniving is nice for better card quality, but we don't many good ways to take advantage of the discard. This essentially just makes him a 4 mana reanimate that can potentially double reanimate with Teysa out. At that point, Victimize would probably be better if you really need a double reanimate at 1 less mana and not needing a separate sac outlet but only a fodder piece. Launderer also conflicts with Teysa in the 4 drop slot. I prefer Reanimate or Animate Dead over victimize since while they don't reanimate two creatures, they cost much less mana, don't require a sacrifice, and can target opposing graveyards. This gives them utility in the early and late game to cheaply bring back a fodder piece or reanimate an opposing Avenger of Zendikar.

Storm of Souls is good. I've tried it and Command the Dreadhorde out a lot and they both test well, but I didn't find a spot for either in the current build. I've been using Living Death as our sole mass recursion piece, but I've been missing a separate piece for redundancy that doesn't also come with a board wipe, so I might bring one of them back. I think its fair to run either since they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Necrosis24 on Land creature deck?

I'm assuming you are centering the deck around Gilt-Leaf Archdruid

If you are going mono green:

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild with mana dorks is pretty great with landfall triggers such as Lotus Cobra, Avenger of Zendikar

Kodama of the East Tree + Kamahl, Heart of Krosa with plenty of card draw and landfall token generation Kodama will help you ramp out lands quite quickly and Kamahl will provide the wincon through combat damage assuming you animate your lands.

Yedora, Grave Gardener is a good choice for a morph landfall deck with a sac outlet like Altar of Dementia and utility morphs like Ainok Survivalist can be quite fun. Though this doesn't quite fit with the Archdruid. But on the alternative she goes infinite with Life and Limb/Living Lands. Life and limb also works well with Sporemound. If anything you can use Maskwood Nexus to make Gilt-Leaf Archdruid work which also makes some other landfalls get more powerful with Life and Limb in play.

Otherwise you can go elf/druid tribal and use commanders like Marwyn, the Nurturer.

Some other mass Land animation spells: Sylvan Awakening, Rude Awakening, Ambush Commander.

Not sure if you are still passionate about this deck, but I think there are definitely some fun cards you could include. I run a mediocre, and admittedly somewhat aimless (been tweeking the list), Omnath, Locus of the Roil deck. Lot of similarities there, feel free to check my list. This is all off the top of my head so hang on.

You get a lot of card advantage out of your commander, but it never hurts to grab it while you can. The Great Henge is more cEDH level, but it has a lot of mechanics that fit into many roles.

I’m not great at sifting through all the wincons on lists, so I may not seen the whole system. That said, filtering systems are really helpful. Momir Vig, Simic Visionary and Greater Good are some of my favorites, and can easily dig for what you need.

Having a back up plan, even if it’s just going wide, helps too. Not sure how you feel about infinite combos, I generally resent them, but having an ended to two hour games can be a relief. Hullbreaker Horror is an absolute monster. Easy infinite mana, for whatever you might need. Paired with Deadeye Navigator and say Avenger of Zendikar, you can quickly deck yourself.

I don’t know, I’m not great at building succinct decks, but these are some tools I use in mine.

Good luck!

Personally I find 35 lands to be the minimum I like to run. Rogue's Passage and Reliquary Tower have always served me well but you could also just do 2 more basics.

Ezuri's Predation seems like a shoe in for this commander. Avenger of Zendikar would be good too. Biovisionary if you don't mind alt win-cons. Awaken the Woods and Arachnogenesis maybe?

I see a distinct lack of removal here, I like to run at least 10 removal cards. Otherwise you are kind of just at the mercy of your opponents. Ezuri's Predation that I already suggested can be one but here are some others- Aether Channeler, Perplexing Test, Beast Within, Rapid Hybridization, Reclamation Sage, Terastodon, Acidic Slime, Krosan Grip, Pongify, Return to Nature are all decent options. Some of these are good targets for making copies of too, which could get nutty with say Ezuri's Predation...
