Frank_Glascock- I'll try to go through each of your questions, though I think a lot of your basic ideas stem from you being in a higher power playgroup. A lot of my card choices are personal preference.

Magus of the Wheel could easily be Jace's Archivist. JvP is great just for its card filtering ability, and costing 2 vs 3. If I had another Three Visits it could easily go in the slot of Explore. Finale of Devastation is just Craterhoof Behemoth #2. Molten Psyche is difficult to pull off with Metalcraft, if I had a Timetwister that's the easiest wheel to cut. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove could easily go in - but it doesn't work with Earthcraft the way you think. only actual basic lands can be untapped. and I like the suggestion on the Growth Spiral cuts. I'd probably make it a Sylvan Library. And with the land count, I could shave a couple for cheap interaction. Pir's Whim is amazing as a removal spell/tutor for Gaea's Cradle.

rkjunior, I did something similar yesterday. I cast Finale of Revelation for 15, got to untapped Gaea's Cradle, drew into a Finale of Devastation and hit that for 10 to bring out Craterhoof Behemoth. The deck just takes off running and there is no slowing down.

CoolCat7271, that’s great, thank you for sharing! I’m glad that you took the win. Nahiri's Lithoforming has definitely been one of my favorite cards in the deck.

unwucht, Carpet of Flowers should be a great way to make the deck faster and provide an over abundance of mana to empty into one of our sinks, most specifically Finale of Devastation. BTW I cut the Forest and replaced it with Dryad Arbor. So if we roll out an early Tooth and Nail that isn’t quite ready for Craterhoof Behemoth/Avenger of Zendikar, we can grab Emiel the Blessed/Dockside Extortionist for infinite mana (assuming there are at least 4 enchantments/artifacts on your opponent’s field). This will give us the win with a fetch grabbing the Dryad. Assuming it checked out, I had a turn 4 win with that combo in testing. Also, Chromatic Orrery has won me over in testing and will become a permanent in my list. Normally I’d say the card is too expensive and not worth the add, but it is so easy to get out by turn 4-5. Plus, I’ve known people to spend the same amount of mana into a Zendikar Resurgent and to me I feel like I get more out of the orrery.

Anyway, fogs are the best defense against Voltron decks, there's no cure for lethal commander damage. You should play them only if your meta allows it. It's true that a fog won't win you the game, but neither will a counterspell. Their function is not (just) to "not lose", they are best used to prevent someone else from winning with combat. Fogging someone's Craterhoof Behemoth turn will make you the hero of the table, and because most people think lowly of those effects, nobody will expect or play around them.

Use them sparingly, along with the element of surprise, if your friends like to win with creatures, for the best results.

Make them scared to swing out if you have a green mana up ;)

SimicVisionRy on Is the CEDH community proxy …

I don't frequent cEDH matches all that often, however my Group has little to no issue with proxies for casual play. We often brew with creativity as the forefront priority, so we don't tend to look at proxies too negatively. Personally, I vouch for the "if it's a readable, authentic card, then all good. The go to in group tends to be really welcoming in the case of more expensive cards, (in the likes of the duals, or some select EDH favorites, like Craterhoof Behemoth.

For FNM play though, we like to see that if a proxy is being used, you do own a copy of the card, and you just don't wish to play with it on the table.

Is a card like Craterhoof Behemoth a good add for this deck?

rkjunior, definitely make the add for Lithoform Engine. I copied Ancient Greenwarden’s ability while having Sakashima the Impostor copied as Omnath, Locus of Creation and both had second landfall trigger on the stack for a net then cast Finale of Devastation at for Craterhoof Behemoth.
