Gavony Township,

I like what I see here for the most part, but I've got some ideas for you.

Mana base: Since you're in four colors, lose as many lands that produce only colorless mana as possible. Keep Karn's Bastion, but consider cutting Gavony Township, Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree, Opal Palace, Reliquary Tower (unless you draw a metric ton of cards here, which I don't see), and Temple of the False God. Possibly cut Unclaimed Territory, too. I see why you have it, but it can't help you cast your commander. Replace all of these with either basics or some other dual-type lands, preferably those that don't come into play tapped. Basics would probably work fine.

I don't think I like Door of Destinies here. You probably have to choose Fungus as your creature type, which doesn't help your saprolings. And you can't choose saprolings, because you don't "play" the saprolings. Cut it for another ramp spell, which you sorely need.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm not sure I like Resourceful Defense either. I do understand why you've included it, but it just doesn't seem to me that you'll get much use out of it, and it's activated ability is pretty costly. But if you like it, and it does a lot of work for you, then ignore my advice.

You are sorely lacking in card draw, too. You need to look at some slots to open up for more card draw spells. Black offers lots of great one-off spells, like Read the Bones, Night's Whisper, Ambition's Cost, and others.

That's all I got for now. I'll compare our lists more closely and let you know if I think of anything else.

Welcome to big board state club! (I used to run G/W populate back in the day).

Disclaimer: not sure what your budget is for recommendations, so I'm going to go by what I see here (Dockside, Smothering Tithe, Parallel Lives level of cost for individual recommendations).

I think Ghired, Conclave Exile would make a better commander here than Palladia-Mors, unless you're tied to the latter for sentimentality/flavor/etc.

Next, land base. The single best thing I did for my Esper deck was upgrading my land base. You don't have to go super hard here to see results, but I would put together a list like: 1x Cabaretti Courtyard 1x Command Tower 1x Jungle Shrine 1x Sungrass Prairie 1x Rockfall Vale 1x Branchloft Pathway  ^Flip 1x Needleverge Pathway  ^Flip 1x Rogue's Passage 1x Kessig Wolf Run 1x Gavony Township. If you like this route, there are even more cheaper dual lands you can add in like the Temple of Triumph and friends.

There are a few cuts or substitutions that I think the main deck could make really easily:

Ultramarines Honour Guard -> Caller of the Pack. If Ghired attacks with a creature that has Myriad, he can populate the token that Myriad creates, but the Populated token forgets about the exile clause. Thus, you can end up with a theoretically infinite horde of creatures. It's fantastic. :D

Going off that last bit... Wayfaring Temple -> Treasure. Basically a great card in commander anyway, here it's a free win if you manage to clone it.

Growing Ranks is an easy cut. It's way too slow for EDH (compare it to Parallel Lives...) Could replace it with a Talisman of Conviction or friends to help you ramp faster.

I would replace Momentous Fall with Teferi's Protection or Akroma's Will or Grand Crescendo - some extra source of board wipe dodging. I don't think your creatures are really big enough to warrant a momentous fall.

I would also replace Druid's Deliverance with one of the aforementioned board wipe dodges. There are also some cheaper options like Your Temple is Under Attack, Unbreakable Formation, Make a Stand. Reasoning being: you should have enough board state to block things that want to hurt you, as long as you keep your board alive.

As far as making tokens sooner: well, if you want to do that, you're going to have to run some cheaper creatures.... or ramp faster. I'd probably opt for ramping faster, TBH, since your creatures are really cool. If you add the entire Gruul Signet and friends, along with the Talismans I mentioned earlier, that should get you to the minimum ramp package in tricolor EDH to make sure you can play quickly.

Naya Charm -> Artifact Mutation can help make some earlier tokens.

Brindle Shoat and Call of the Conclave are some decent options for turn 3 tokens you might consider, as well. But adding those would also require cutting other stuff.... horrible choice I don't envy you : P

Sorry for the wall of text...Hope that helps, and happy building!

I have some land suggestions for you! Not all of them are great, but some of them could be pretty snazzy.

• Vivid Grove, Vivid Meadow, Vivid Marsh and Vivid Creek are all any color lands that just need you to proliferate every once in a while.

• Peat Bog, Hickory Woodlot, Saprazzan Skerry, Remote Farm, and Throne of Makindi are all two-for-one mana sources, so long as you proliferate.

• Saltcrusted Steppe, Dreadship Reef, and Calciform Pools are all dual color storage lands and could all be big pay offs late game.

• Novijen, Heart of Progress, Hall of Oracles, Oran-Rief, the Vastwood, Animal Sanctuary, Tyrite Sanctum, Nesting Grounds, Llanowar Reborn, Gavony Township, and Karn's Bastion are all just cards that relate to tokens on your creatures.

• Hostile Hostel  ^Flip lets you get a big, mean creature in exchange for sacrifices one small dude.

• Crawling Barrens can get activated once, forgotten until someone doesn't have blockers, then swing with an absolute tank.

• Fountain of Cho, Icatian Store, Subterranean Hangar, Bottomless Vault, Rushwood Grove, Hollow Trees, Saprazzan Cove, and Sand Silos are the same as the above, but inarguably worse. Idunno, could be even snazzy late-game, but like, ehhh, nah, probably not.

some good lands make a world of difference. not the most exciting upgrades but probably the most functional.

1. Boseiju, Who Endures
these are amazing because if you dont need the land drop they can be a spell
2. Otawara, Soaring City
3. Marsh Flats
4. Misty Rainforest
5. Verdant Catacombs
6. Flooded Strand
7. Gavony Township
8. Spara's Headquarters
or other triomes from capenna
9. Indatha Triome
or other triomes
10. Opal Palace
11. Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth
12. Temple Garden
or other shock lands, they can be fetched and can enter untapped
13. Dreamroot Cascade
the midnight hunt and crimson vow lands are also great for helping fix your mana
14. Karn's Bastion

Hello!

I took a long hard look at this deck, and I wanted to formulate helpful comments. I had so many things to say, I eventually figured I would try my hand at a similar deck, and see where they would diverge.

The main point is the Commander. I have found that Katilda is faster, versatile and more reliable, as turning all your humans into mana dorks will allow you to deploy your strategy and also recoup from a potential wipe much more easily. Her last ability is also great mid to late game, making her a real powerhouse.

The second point is I would get rid of any creature that is not a Human. There are many fantastic Humans that you can include and would synergize to bring you exponential tokens and +1/+1 counters that you are missing out on.

Recursion is nice, but I would rather concentrate on keeping the upper hand and not losing permanents to removal. Thank you for the discovery of Silkguard and Your Temple Is Under Attack, these are perfect for this deck, and I have adopted them for my list.

The mana base could use some tweaking; you do not need Yavimaya in here, it may end up helping your opponents more than yourself. Oran-Rief, the Vastwood and Gavony Township would be very valuable.

So all things considered, here is my take on this deck. Obviously it is not in the same budget range, but I do hope you find some helpful inspiration in my build.

The Village | Katilda, Dawnhart Prime

Cheers,
