Is there any creatures you are specific "I will not take these out"? I have a few suggestions mainly about the ramp and how to make it more consistent/efficient.

You don't need gen wave and put in play cards. For example...

• replace Nissa, Worldwaker with Nissa, Who Shakes the World because she pumps your forests, untaps lands, and allows you to thin your deck if -8. Vernal Bloom also if you feel like taking advantage, but you do have vorinclex.

• Put Early harvest back in, it works well with these types of decks and i would go Arbor Elf & Utopia Sprawl which would allow you get more mana and hardcast Godsire if you kept it.

• Eternal Witness at least one

• Instead of Green Sun's Zenith I would go Genesis Hydra it allows you to dig for permanents mm like Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip (witch will also let you get a creature when it enters) rather than just a creature, and gives you a blocker / attacker

• If you want to have a possible turn 3 add in Devoted Druid & Vizier of Remedies and to help cast it utopia sprawl and the card you wanted to add Sylvan Caryatid. That's if you want to add white. I'm a Mono Green player to but this is good.

• Last suggestion would be if you went Hydras like someone said Unbound Flourishing, I play Hydras and they are better than most people think.

Hey check out my deck Gruul Hydras

If you want genesis wave to be optimal going all out on getting it pumped up is the way to go. There is an old school Gen wave deck that was pretty good i would refer to it for extra tid bits.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I hadn't thought of Hermit Druid, but I'm not sure he would do enough with the current mana base. I will keep it in mind for once there are less basics.

I had Dread Return in an early draft, but I like the reanimation enchantments and Necromancy would be the next reanimation spell if I add more reanimation.

Razaketh, the Foulblooded is a great suggestion, I will try to find a place to fit him in.

As far as the buff strategy on Devoted Druid goes, I would probably go with enchantments over a spell again. So Carapace, Street Savvy, and Web would probably get in before Wax. (I just found out about two of those cards while doing a search because I forgot what Carapace was called.)

Have you considered doing an old school Hermit Druid line? With something like Dread Return and Razaketh, the Foulblooded or perhaps the buff strategy with the Devoted Druid you got in there with Wax.

Theres also, Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip + Devoted Druid + Vizer Of Remedies. You can slam all creatures in your deck into your hand and cast any green creatures.

I don't Know how old is your list, but you can also play Devoted Druid and Channeler Initiate for added necrotic ooze combo.

Savage1988, I appreciate your recommendations of what to change in my deck. You may not have seen Compost in the list because I am making little changes all the time. I'm aiming to build my OmRath list as competitively as possible, and that requires maintenance and play-testing!

Khalni Heart Expedition, Devoted Druid, and Summoner's Pact are all great cards for you to use in the list. For these it's important to note that a lot of people don't neglect these cards because they are bad, but choose to use others because they think others are a slightly better fit. For example, because Omnath, Locus of Rage benefits from landfall triggers, it is usually advantageous to prioritize ramp spells over mana dorks like Devoted Druid.

Gruul Turf is a fantastic card, but doesn't make the cut for the same reason other come-into-play-tapped dual lands don't. It is advantageous to have 1) as many double land drops like Fabled Passage as possible and 2) as many basics as possible for Perilous Forays should you draw it. While Gruul Turf is a great include, it is neither of those 2 things and gets cut from competitive lists. It is worth noting that these two conditions are meant to be for mana fixing lands, not those like Reliquary Tower.

Eternal Witness allows you to recur anything from your grave with any of your creature tutor cards: Green Sun's Zenith, Finale of Devastation, or Chord of Calling. This also means you can recur non-creature cards like enchantments with creature tutor cards. It is important to understand that by adding 1 Eternal Witness to the deck, you yield up to 4 outs in the deck should you ever want to recur something from your grave. While it may not always be your choice, it vastly increases your range of options with creature tutor cards.

Hope this helps!

Nice deck ! ;)

Did you try adding some cards giving +1/+1 counters ? 'cause there's a rule where a +1/+1 counter negates a -1/-1 counter; that might be usefull for some cards you play like Ammit Eternal or Devoted Druid

Been trying to think of a list for this commander. I usually build one around every Abzan commander as it is my favorite Wedge in Magic. I like the list you have here. I was experimenting with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Devoted Druid in mine. Can be used for Infinite mana with a haste enabler. The haste was the hard part so it ultimately didn't take off from there. Maybe in Jund. A card I would include 100% is Winding Constrictor Double up on the vigilance counters and makes it easier to use Tayam's ability.
