Frenzied Tilling

Sorcery

Destroy target land. Search your library for a basic land card and put that card into play tapped. Then shuffle your library.

Caerwyn, I agree that Frenzied Tilling is not a particularly good card, so I shall not bother with it. Both of those creatures that you suggested are nice, but I still think that Zhur-Taa Druid better fits the theme of this deck.

I actually have made my decision regarding two of the three cards that I mentioned, in my first post, and I have made the replacements in my deck; I confess that I did replace two large and flashy creatures with two more large and flashy creatures, but I promise that I shall replace The Immortal Sun with a more utilitarian card.

Frenzied Tilling is a terrible card. Five mana to destroy one land and get one tapped basic? Yikes.

Why don’t you start with the basics before doing anything weird. Cultivate gets you one untapped land, possibly a second if you do not have a land to play for turn, basically making it cost one or two mana. You have your classic dorks, like Birds of Paradise. Delighted Halfling would be particularly good for you, given your high prevalence of legendary cards. You could cut your three-mana rocks and go with the many two-mana options available.

Ramp should not be fancy - it should be efficient. You want to play it early so you can start playing big things faster - that means you really want to focus on mana ramp which costs one or two mana (or functionally costs one or two mana because it gives you untapped lands).

Also, Caerwyn, what do you think of Frenzied Tilling as a form of mana acceleration?

jdwork I found a compromise!

I decided that dorks were not the way to go. However, I had, and still have, over 30 spells that kill land, and that's a few more than I need. So I enacted the following revisions:

Still don't know what I can do without to include Acidic Slime, but the creature removal part of it is certainly appealing. Maybe you or someone else has a suggestion for that.

Thanks again!

jdwork Thank you for the comment!

Acidic Slime was the second to last card I cut from the deck to bring it down to 100. I absolutely want it in there, but I can't justify losing something else with a lower mana cost. Which leaves Feast of Worms, Frenzied Tilling, Volcanic Offering and Deus of Calamity as the only spells at 5 CMC, none of which I really want to trade out for the slime. Playtesting will decide if I'm wrong.

As for mana dorks, I also already had that thought, and your certainly in the right to mention them. By the same token, I've stared at this decklist forever, saying to myself "surely there's a way to fit a Sol Ring in here!" But I really haven't figured out how.

The deck is a slow, grinding victory sort of deck. It operates on resource denial, often at its own detriment. However, the land fetch and land recurrence keeps its own mana base alive, while the opponents have to keep rebuilding. And while it doesn't have an incredibly low curve, it also doesn't have any big-mana spells either.

So I'm torn. I feel like I have to have as much land destruction as is in there to do what it does. I don't know; which cards would you take out for dorks?

It looks like you've got a lot of lands in here, I usually go for at most 40 lands in a deck, unless it's a lands matter type of deck. Also, Rampant Growth, Seek the Horizon, Terramorphic Expanse, Migration Path, Nissa's Renewal, Kodama's Reach, Grow from the Ashes, Nissa's Expedition, Explosive Vegetation, Cultivate, Traverse the Outlands, Frenzied Tilling, Boundless Realms, Evolving Wilds, Spring / Mind, Attune with Aether, Myriad Landscape and Blighted Woodland won't do anything since you don't have any basics in here. This also turns off the third mode of Verdant Confluence, though you may still want it for the other two modes.

I'm not sure what Mimeofacture is supposed to do in commander, notoriously a singleton format.

Creeping Corrosion seems like a strange choice in a deck where you're running several artifacts and artifact tutors like Fabricate.

I don't usually like running color-hosers like Anarchy, since there are games where it will be a dead card in your hand.

Overall it seems like you're running two decks: an energy deck built with mainly permanents that give you energy and use it, and a big spells deck, with a lot of powerful instants and sorceries that you can copy with your commander. There's nothing wrong with having two themes in a deck, but narrowing it down to one would probably help you get down to 100 cards. Also, some cards like Mizzix's Mastery want you to play more instants and sorceries than permanents, while cards like Primal Surge want you to be playing almost all permanents. Leaning more in one direction than the other will give your deck more focus.

TolarianScientist, your concern is real. At the moment, I'm running 16 spells which deal with that concern:

For a hot second, I also had Atzocan Seer on the list, but dropped it in favor of including more offense as a tradeoff for losing mana production (I removed it for Knight of New Alara).

The problem with mana dorks is that none of the best ones are color pairs. With any other 5-color commander, this decklist would look totally different.

I like your suggestion of borderposts. Right now, the Spells I'd most consider removing are Merfolk Skydiver, Rise of the Hobgoblins, Deathbringer Liege, Terminate and Dovin, Grand Arbiter. Of those spells, how many and which would you replace with borderposts of the same colors?

Sorry for the long response.

Experiment One > Birds of Paradise; if you plan to cheat the Level Up costs then Birds is not as needed while Experiment will evolve with nearly every other creature you cast.

Search for Tomorrow > Nature's Lore; Nature's is slow but maybe suspending could be better because it will come down when an Evolution Sage is present? Or Explore is an option too that cantrips. Or or Arboreal Grazer !

Frenzied Tilling might be good in the side board for land hate + ramping ability.
