I too enjoy OG land tech. You have Yavimaya and Urborg for that though along with Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.

Glacierwood Siege an additional "Worlds" effect

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx > Bloom Tender

If you go the Nykthos route Minamo, School at Water's Edge plus the easy Archelos activation.

I see Green Sun's Zenith and a juicy Vorinclex target. Would Dryad Arbor + Natural OrderGC be useful here?

In my land based strategies I always try to squeeze in Unwind + Rewind for the value.

P.S. Squandered Resources is the greatest card in the entire card pool. Always enjoy seeing it in a deck.

MoloSan the Dryad Arbor is more for a turn 1 Green Sun's Zenith for 0. Just another way to ramp out Reki, History of Kamigawa on turn 2. The fetch lands, while they are in there for deck thinning, also synergize with Lumra, Bellow of the Woods as a couple of early turn fetch lands into a turn 3-4 Lumra can propel me really far ahead for the mid-late game

I saw you have a Dryad Arbor in here. Are the fetch lands for tutoring that up or just for deck thinning?

Green Sun's Zenith would be an upgrade over March of Burgeoning Life. it'd cost less mana to grab the Venerated Rotpriest and doesn't require that you already control one. it can also grab Dryad Arbor if you want to ramp a bit. adding blue lets you use Phantasmal Image to copy the rotpriest, and you can use Artful Dodge to ensure you can land damage for toxic. the flashback also means an additional rotpriest trigger.

eww... alright, lemme help.

• Elvish Mystic / Llanowar Elves - maybe spring for the Birds of Paradise if you can. Fyndhorn Elves do the exact same thing at this point.

• Arbor Elf and then included Utopia Sprawl, maybe use Sakura-Tribe Elder. Satyr Wayfinder also provides the same utility here.

• Fanatic of Rhonas can also help.

• You're likely going to want to include Arboreal Grazer and the typical Flare of Cultivation.

• The other thing that might help considering the intention of your build, is it seems you've overlooked Dryad Arbor and Green Sun's Zenith.

• Your game winners/closers are Dungrove Elder, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods and Cultivator Colossus.

• Maybe consider Scapeshift, Ayula's Influence, Life from the Loam. Cheers!

This is so much fun! It might be really cool to replace some lands with Dryad Arbor because then if you happen to have an Arbor Elf on the field the same turn a Colossification comes down, you can use the Dryad Arbor for mana and then untap it so that you can attack with it immediately!

Tokens do not have a mana cost unless the effect creating them assigns a mana cost (such as by making it a copy of an object with a mana cost). Any object without a mana cost (including lands and cards like Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar) has a mana value of 0. You'll notice Culling Ritual doesn't say anything about the mana cost of permanents, rather the mana value. A mana cost of {0} is different from not having a mana cost, but both give a mana value of 0. Just like a mana cost of {1} is different from a mana cost of {U}, but both would give a mana value of 1. This is also why Culling Ritual specifies nonland, because otherwise it would destroy lands despite not having a mana cost, because the mana value is 0.

202.3a The mana value of an object with no mana cost is 0, unless that object is the back face of a transforming double-faced permanent or is a melded permanent.

Regarding nothing not being a mana cost, that is correct. Memnite shares a mana cost with Ornithopter, but Dryad Arbor does not share a mana cost with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar since neither of them have one. I think the only cards that care about this difference are Killer Cosplay and Richard Garfield, Ph.D., neither of which are black boarder legal.

My default commander is muldratha and inturn I've collected tons of graveyard/etb/recursion effects to compliment. From Time Sieve with several enablers Pentavus Myr Battlesphere Thopter Assembly Encroaching Mycosynth & Unctus, Grand Metatect, Horseshoe Crab, Paradise Mantle, Viridian Longbow but I'd include combos like gitrog and Dakmor Salvage because they enable strong combos and can work in combination with other peices like Crystal Vein or Dryad Arbor . Slime foot was also one of my original homebrew ing commander's finding a handful of cheeky combos that allowed him to swing well above his projected power level as well being a utility peice for mid and drawn out games. Plus has become a wincon on its own on occasion. Beledros is listed mainly cause of his ability would just make him a automatic solid choice.
