Exoflo, thanks for your comment. I took a look at that deck, and I saw Augur of Autumn. I'm thinkin I'll replace Fanatic of Rhonas with that!

I'll only add creatures, so the artifacts and enchantments suggested are a no-go. Primeval Titan is banned, or else I would totally use it! Cultivator Colossus is interesting, but I'm afraid I wouldn't have enough if any lands in hand at that stage to take advantage of its triggered ability.

If Jetmir's Garden came in untapped I would use it, but I avoid come-into-play-tapped lands

Thanks again!

Here are my suggestions buddy !

Draw : Guardian Project,The Great Henge,Tireless Tracker,Horn of Greed

Double mana : Nyxbloom Ancient

Huge monster : Cultivator Colossus,Primeval TitanAvenger of Zendikar

And Jetmir's Garden is also nice

I've found a similar decklist years ago and still play it (Zacama is Nutz) if you want to give a check. Anyway, you made a very good brew here and enjoy the game !

Yeah, I have Thragtusk, Six and Roxanne, Starfall Savant for my diverse threats against something like mill which runs Surgical Extraction. Cultivator Colossus also has no evasion or useful effects once it hits the field and is just a big dumb creature that can be chumped. Don't get me wrong, it is a decent card in the build, but it doesn't do enough for me to want to run it personally. Slots are super tight in the build, and are only getting tighter and tighter with all the cards we want to run now.

Also, I think I am now slotting in Springheart Nantuko as a 1-of to the main, since it can go infinite with basically every creature in the deck.

Cultivator Colossus is so insane in amulet I would definitely play 1 (I've seen some lists even playing 2)

OUT: Cultivator Colossus, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Fyndhorn Elves, Elves of Deep Shadow, Vampiric Tutor, Not Dead After All, Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip, Demonic Tutor, Lightning Greaves, Greater Good

IN: Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, Shakedown Heavy, Hunted Bonebrute, Tear Asunder, Nature's Claim, Culling Ritual, Nature's Lore, Arcane Signet, Unnatural Growth, Underground Mortuary

Trying to work out some kinks in this deck. I find myself without big boys to sac to the 'Rog sometimes. Also, upping the land count a little instead of using dorks that will die to Culling Ritual.

I may also come to regret pulling out the tutors, but I never know what to look for that will help me win immediately, so out they come for now.

I actually need to go through and finish updating the deck description once I settle on the manabase. I came up with some new tech after discussing with some folks to avoid the need to play a traditional “finisher” like Kessig Wolf Run with 2 amulets and can instead get away with a more complicated line involving Echoing Deeps and eventually transmuting into Cultivator Colossus to then draw into one of the many ways to get dryad into play to then go face with valakut triggers.

I would say we struggle the most with Blood Moon effects and Grief being scammed, tearing apart our hands.

Honestly, otherwise the deck is usually favored slightly.

idfkgabe I don't know I'm close to considering Cultivator Colossus if I want another beater with upsides.

There are two main reasons I can see people using taplands.

First, they're generally very affordable. Some people can't or don't want to spend lots of money on their decks. Maybe they want to keep it below a certain budget, or they don't want to put in individual lands that are worth more than the rest of their deck combined.

Second, some do have some special utility. The Ravnica bounce lands, like Simic Growth Chamber, have a specific place in stuff like Cultivator Colossus combos and similar decks. Axgard Armory offers hard-to-counter tutoring, Hall of the Bandit Lord grants haste, Triomes are some of the most reliable color fixers not named Command Tower, and so on.

Yeah, taplands are slow, but they're cheap and easy to find, and there are plenty that do things besides make mana. They get outclassed quickly, but sometimes they're the right level of budget and utility for what a deck wants.
