Not that you really need anymore combos, payoffs or ways to go infinite but this looks like the perfect EDH shell to shoehorn the Silver Myr, Freed from the Real and Wake Thrasher trifecta into.

While I don't recommend it, as it really puts a target on your dorks, if you have Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy in play, a Freed from the Real on a Birds of Paradise or Noble Hierarch would generate infinite mana. There's certainly enough protection with current Instants, though, if you wanted to go that route. Bloom Tender would another solid choice to include then, if you felt so inclined.

I definitely think the manabase could be improved on. It seems there's no budget for creatures, but lands are all budget? So I was hesitant earlier, and didn't have the time either then to make a case for improvements. That said, 1x Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth is, IMO, always worth whatever mana-fixing it provides opponents. After that, I tend to prefer Botanical Sanctum, Dreamroot Cascade and Barkchannel Pathway  Flip to the perennially desired Breeding Poolfoil and Misty Rainforest. I just can't stand the thought of burning 3 life to get one dual land. I usually also include Scavenger Grounds just on the off chance I face a deck that likes to bring stuff back from the graveyard.

I didn't see you asking for removal spells, but Beast Within is decent, IMO, and I wouldn't turn my nose up at any deck running Pongify or Rapid Hybridization, especially if the deck is also packing creatures that can block those 3/3 gift tokens.

While it's a bit gutsy to rely strictly on mana dorks for the white mana needed to cast Gods Willing, I rather like the idea of an unblockable swing thanks to its protection.

In my eyes, the biggest weaknesses are: Opt doesn't provide any card advantage. Divination would be better, and Harmonize better still. Hydroid Krasis, as I said before, seems to fit as well and comes with the bonus of a bit of lifegain which is never bad. And that leads to the next issue - the wincons are [almost] all legendary, and therefore rightly limited to less than 4 copies each. I do like that they come with their own means of preventing removal, though. And finally, that the mana base just isn't as premium as most the spells it supports.

Open to infinite mana? Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura are great for Zax.

Overall, I like the deck. I have a few thoughts that could be helpful. Feel free to disregard.

Mill is something a lot of players hate. I think defenders are decent way to counter some of that hate, but I'd expect very aggressive removal of your two mana dorks, Axebane Guardian and Overgrown Battlement in second games. I see you have 2xTurn Aside, which I'm sure helps, but I suspect something like Tamiyo's Safekeeping or Vines of Vastwood (there's a ton a green protection spells, really) would be more useful, as they could help with surviving blocking huge creatures in addition to foiling removal.

Banefire seems better than Bonfire of the Damned, since it can't be countered or prevented at a pretty low threshold.

Freed from the Real seems like a good fit here - lower casting cost than Sword of the Paruns and lower activation cost and no equip cost

63 is 3 too many. There are non-essential defenders that could easily be cut, and spells like Opt and Divination don't strike me as perfect fits for the deck, either. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of draw card in Modern, but I also think it's always best if you can get that draw card to come with synergy. For example, you have Wall of Runes and Gatecreeper Vine already - these seem at least 'on-theme' in a helpful way that render Opt more like filler than utility. You might also consider Wall of Omens or Drift of Phantasms instead of Divination. I'd also even favor Harmonize over Divination, as 3 cards for 4MV is a better deal than 2 cards for 3MV and more card draw off a single spell is more effective and efficient.

Pemmin's Aura and Freed from the Real will give you infinite mana with Kinnan and any mana dork that produces .

artcwolf22 on Best Mana Dork In the …

Best mana dork, Bloom Tender. I've searched for two drop since Mh2 in 2022 only to be stuck with Sanctum Weaver and Incubation Druid. While the Latter two can fit in some decks, Bloom Tender is just insane in commanders with at least 3 colors and is a target on sight. Getting it out with a 5 color commander just goes crazy.

The first two regularly see play in high power levels, and I think more would be unbalanced. A 3 drop is balanced, and perhaps the game is better that way.

A legendary Mana Dork may regularly incites issues. Zaxara, the Exemplary already exist, but once you have a dork in the command zone it's just ever tempting to add Freed from the Real and Pemmin's Aura to get infinite mana, after which the deck's strategy just becomes do infinite things.

It would be nice to have a balanced version with drawbacks, like Garth One-Eye or ways to stop riders or activate once a turn, now that they're adding this regularly now.
