rkjunior, I agree with the add of Carpet of Flowers, I too want to make room at some point for it. I don’t know how often you find yourself in need of tutoring for a specific land, but I’d say the cut for you should be Sylvan Scrying. I’d also like to add that Bloom Tender has been a phenomenal add for me. Was well worth the cut of Smokebraider.

As for Consecrated Sphinx, I’m going to juggle between that and Shamanic Revelation for now and see which appears to be the better add. Rhystic Study hasn’t been very reliable draw and I feel it needs replaced with something more reliable. Could also be the time to add Scroll Rack in its stead.

Temur Sabertooth + Zacama, Primal Calamity works by repeatedly bouncing the Zacama to abuse the "untap all lands when it enters the battlefield" ability on Zacama. It will require 11 mana from lands to break even, or 12 mana from lands to create a positive infinite mana loop. With the very high land requirement, it is not a good inclusion for competitive edh unless Zacama is your commander.

I recommend looking at infinite combos in already existing cedh decks in those colors. Synergy has recommend some competitive level combos, but I can contribute some more. Off the top of my head, I can recommend some:

Temur Sabertooth + Dockside Extortionist = Generate infinite mana, requires opponent to have the correct board state, which they almost always do

Big Dork + Untap effect = Infinite mana. Look at Priest of Titania, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Bloom Tender, or Marwyn, the Nurturer for your big dork needs. Look at Umbral Mantle and Staff of Domination for your untapping needs, honorable mention to Sword of the Paruns which I don't recommend.

Underworld Breach has lots of great combos, most of the playable ones are in mono red for Naya colors. Shameless self plug, check out my EDH Underworld Breach combo guide here, I cover card choices and how to pilot the combos in detail here - https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-underworld-breach-edh-combo-guide/

Another option, but definitely not a top tier combo, is Boonweaver Giant + Pattern of Rebirth + Sac Outlet. This combo works by abusing creatures that return Boonweaver from the graveyard to play to continue pulling creatures from your library until you have assembled your actual winning combo. Generally you pull Karmic Guide -> return Boonweaver -> sac Boonweaver to fetch Fiend Hunter -> Fiend your Guide -> Sac Fiend to return Guide, which returns Boonweaver -> Fetch Reveillark which returns Guide + Fiend Hunter to loop to pull all creatures from your deck. You can find a very well detailed guide for this combo here - https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/multiplayer-commander-decklists/621075-karador-boonweaver-combo The guide is for Abzan colors, but the core of the combo is GW and can easily be adapted to Naya colors, especially with red creature sac outlets like Goblin Bombardment. This is a fun combo, high powered but not competitive, and will blow the minds of most players who haven't seen it in action before.

All very solid points. When I look at Bloom Tender, there is still a good possibility Omnath, Locus of Creation is cast on turn 3. As long as the that was spent on it originally can produce a different color and all the other lands for that matter. Most likely would lose landfall triggers on the turn Omnath is cast, but I’m thinking next turn and I can easily cast something like Ancient Greenwarden then get the double triggers the turn it’s cast. I’m just looking at the potential upside of after Omnath is in play, which will allow a lot of other early plays. Just an idea to toss around. Don’t get me wrong I do like what Smokebraider does for us, Bloom Tender just seems like the better overall pick.

Also, all your one-drops are green. So Bloom Tender does not even stand a chance to create two mana on turn three, as from my understanding colorless does not count towards the number of colors of mana.

Starsky2814 Bloom Tender is potentially stronger than Smokebraider when your deck is already up and running. But from my point of view, the sole puprose of Smokebraider is to be in your starting hand and enable you to cast Omnath, Locus of Creation on turn three. I doubt Bloom Tender will continuously perform in a similar way. Hence Bloom Tender would only ramp your mana when you usually already have enough mana and not in the critical starting phase during Turns 2 and 3.

Considering on replacing Smokebraider with Bloom Tender.

How do you feel about Bloom Tender? I have found that a turn 3 Mayael after a t2 tender immediately gives you access to all 3 colors from Bloom, which can ramp significantly. Obviously it’s a removal target though. Have you played with it before? If so, how did you find it performed?
