Niko9 on What ONE card would you …

2 days ago

That's a good point that Rofellos doesn't need the same one-line 99 that Marwyn does, but yeah, neither of them are busted at all. Giving mono green access to more mana just doesn't cut it anymore. A tuned green deck by turn 3 would be looking to Fauna Shaman put down a Beast Whisperer or Green Sun's Zenith in order to assemble the win by turn 5-6. Rofellos makes a lot of mana, but you absolutely can be looking to win at 4+mana, so it will always be more optimized to have two Llanowar Elves and a Fauna Shaman at turn 2.

Heh, sorry, I spent too much time with elfball. So many games with it, for years, and Rofellos wouldn't even be top 3 commanders for mono green ramp. Honestly, Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy is by far the best ramp commander, and Rofellos isn't even close. Two Llanowar Elves plus Kinnan at turn 3 is 7 mana and a way to use it.

Beast Whisperer, The Great Henge, Wood Elves, Old Gnawbone, Ohran Frostfang, Elder Gargaroth, Doubling Season and/or Questing Beast could be some nice additions…

Okay so I'm new to deckbuilding, especially for EDH so I'm just wondering if anyone has any useful/practical suggestions for this deck. I thought Abomination of Llanowar was a cool card, so I wanted to build around that concept of getting a lot of elves onto the field and my graveyard to really boost its power and toughness.

One thing I'll mention is that, with the exception of cards that are already present in the deck, I don't want to spend more then $3-5 on a single card. So keeping all of this in mind, any suggestions?

@lightning_elf that question is trickier than it may seem. Your ramp is adequate for casual play but would be extremely vulnerable to a wide array of more competitive decks. In other words, through lockdown/removal most of your ability to ramp would be shut down relatively early and you’d find yourself in the opposite predicament—too many high costed cards and no means to reliably cast them.

This tells me that your opponent’s decks are probably not at all optimized well, and that complicates your question. As it stands, it appears you could get away with almost anything—straight draw spells like Harmonize, repeat use spells like Beast Whisperer etc. I don’t think it matters, you could go wild and it should reasonably be fine. You could do a Gatherer search by keyword and color and I’m sure all sorts of cards could be fit in.

Balaam__ I’ve been playtesting this deck, and a problem that I’ve been running into is that I get lots of mana and cast most of my hand and then I have nothing to play. I want to draw more cards, I already have Beast Whisperer and Regal Force but are there any other cards you would recommend?

Tldr: Cut the Giant Growth and Life Goes On for more protection. Cut the Beast Whisperer and Regal Force for more direct searching.

How often do you use the Giant Growth? This would be my first pick for switching out for more protection. It buffs your creatures, but it won't help when your creatures get Murdered. With only a single Growth, it's also not going to appear reliably, and single-target pumping isn't really what I see this deck doing.

I'm also going to ask about the Life Goes On. Since this deck doesn't have any lifegain focus or interactions, how often does it change the course of a game? Can you point to multiple matches where it directly contributed to a win? Unless it regularly and specifically protects a win or avoids a loss, it's kind of out of place here, especially as a one-off. Lifegain for lifegain's sake usually just ends up diluting the deck and adding filler.

---

To go into this next thought, the goal for this deck is to ramp into big smashy creatures and attack, right? If that's the case, maybe switch the Beast Whisperer for Fierce Empath or Mwonvuli Beast Tracker and switch of the Regal Force for a second Empath or Tracker or another big scary creature. The Empath and Tracker will get your finishers in hand faster, and once you hit that stage, you want to be attacking, not drawing cards off a 5/5 without evasion.

---

If you're trying to stay inexpensive, the Heroic Intervention might be a bit much, Blossoming Defense is reasonable but not super cheap, and Ranger's Guile, Mwonvuli Beast Tracker, and Fierce Empath are all pocket change.

Sweet List! Morophon feels like the right commander choice here.

But I'd advise you to put in some more/better card draw.

God-Eternal Kefnet doesn't add cards to your hand, same for The Locust God.

Keranos, God of Storms isn't guaranteed to draw you cards and Kindred Summons won't work when you are behind on board.

With 5c you can just slot in whatever you feel fits, but with 33 creatures something like Beast Whisperer should do the trick. Since most of your gods are enchantments as well you could also go the enchantress route with Eidolon of Blossoms or Enchantress's Presence and things like that.

Greetings ;)
