Jaddi Lifestrider

Creature — Elemental

When Jaddi Lifestrider enters the battlefield, you may tap any number of untapped creatures you control. You gain 2 life for each creature tapped this way.

Kret on Muldrotha: Budget Elemental Tribe!

2 years ago

Soul of the Harvest, Fertilid, Mulldrifter and Shriekmaw are good budget elementals.
Wolfbriar Elemental is a nice mana sink in the late game.
Consider adding backgrounds like Master Chef or Scion of Halaster.
You are running Joint Exploration. Consider similar cards like Explore or Growth Spiral. They can let your deck gain some early velocity.
If you play multiple elementals with evoke then a card like Village Rites becomes useful because you can cast it in response to the evoke trigger and draw 2. Card like Evolutionary Leap could also be used in response to evoke trigger to draw a fresh elemental
Zendikar's Roil can let you go wide with elementals.
Tatyova, Steward of Tides makes your lands into 3/3/ elementals
Kenrith's Transformation is a great removal spell that replaces itself and can be recurred.
Tezzeret's Gambit draws 2 cards and proliferates.
Nissa, Voice of Zendikar puts counters on each creature for just 3 mana

Cards I would replace:
- cards with kicker and Vine Gecko (they are generally worse cards than regular budget ramp spells like Rampant Growth or Cultivate)
- 6 forests because you have low mana curve (I would cut the land count to something like 36 lands, but you could also swap them for dual lands with basic land types from Kaldheim - Woodland Chasm, Dominaria United - Haunted Mire, Temple cycle - Temple of Malady or bounce lands - Golgari Rot Farm
- Titania, Protector of Argoth because there is only one card -> Harrow that can proc her ability to make elementals
I would also cut some of the elementals that don't have any useful abilties like Jaddi Lifestrider, Healer of the Glade, Glade Watcher, Floodhound, Offalsnout, Smolder Initiate and Slitherwisp.

Hope you find some of the suggestions helpful.

Cards that I would cut:

Regeneration , Executioner's Hood , Natural End , Bladed Pinions , Revive , Nature's Spiral , Staff of the Wild Magus , Crashing Footfalls awesome if you can cheat the suspend on it, not worth it otherwise, Prodigious Growth , Feasting Troll King and Trail of Crumbs you lack enough of a food theme to run these well enough to include, Moldgraf Monstrosity the random return makes this lackluster, Jaddi Lifestrider , Soul of Zendikar the activation is kind of expensive, Tuinvale Treefolk doesn't do enough to warrant inclusion, Canopy Cover and Web auras not the best here, I'd cut one of Planewide Celebration or Once and Future , and finally, Sandsteppe Mastodon

If you own one, I'd sub out Wall of Blossoms for Elvish Visionary for the synergy with Elvish Archdruid .

No Sol Ring ? This a ban in local meta?

If you happen to own them, some cards that you may want to think about: Tendershoot Dryad , Beast Within , Inspiring Call and Garruk, Primal Hunter . Yes, that means more cutting but they should be worth it in this deck.

I'd also add a Rogue's Passage in place of one Forest , just for some added punchthrough that is hard to remove.

@fargojose1234 - Skullclamp won't be as effective in this deck compared to sacrifice and/or token decks, the -1 in toughness can be crucial since when Doran is on the battlefield the damage of my creatures is based on their toughness.. Guardian Project might be okay, but i feel that Beast Whisperer is better since it's a creature as well.. But i get what you're saying, card draw is rather fewer than normal, thanks for the suggestion.

@TRANSFORMERS159 - Jaddi Lifestrider is good because of its toughness, but its ETB effect is not useful to this deck.. Arcane Signet is expensive for a tiny bit better version of Fellwar Stone .. Jareth, Leonine Titan is interesting though.. if only his +7/+7 affects when it is blocked as well, that would be OP though.. Thanks for the suggestions..

Cool deck! No Seedborn Muse though? Also isn't Prophet of Kruphix banned? Is your playgroup cool with that? I'm a green specialist so I don't have much to suggest but it feels like Rishkar, Peema Renegade would be a good fit adding some ramp and some more ways to tap creatures. Oh Jaddi Lifestrider could also fit in here, the lifegain could bail you out in a pinch.

Pimphanded420 on Omnath landfall

My Omnath is creature based and basicly element tribal but some cards IMO are a must with Omnath and one of them is Zendikar's Roil&Thromok the Insatiable&Liege of the Tangle for fun Also you could use Abundance to sift through junk. Parallel Lives for more Omnath tokens Grazing Gladehart for hp Rampaging Baloths&Jaddi Lifestrider just because. ENJOY

I would remove the following cards:

You don't have that many lifegain cards in your decklist, so you can't take full advantage of Rhox Faithmender.

Kami of Old Stone is too vanilla and can be replaced by something better. Strictly worse than Indomitable Ancients anyway.

Wall of Nets is usually going to kill things before it exiles them, so it's actually weaker in a deck with Doran.

Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim is good, but not good enough. She's better in a lifegain deck than in a deck with high-toughness creatures, even though she synergises somewhat.

Tasseled Dromedary is too vanilla and doesn't do enough; Treefolk Harbinger is the better card.

Jaddi Lifestrider weakens your boardstate in order to make its ability useful, and usually having giant blockers is better than some lifegain.

Tangle Angler is good, but the decklist isn't infect, which means it's less efficient here.

Grim Contest can be swapped out for one of the better removal spells.

Return to Dust is outclassed since you have access to Sylvan Reclamation, and Mortify and Putrefy also can destroy artifacts/enchantments.

Seasons Past is a tough pick to remove, but most of your creatures should be sticking around on the battlefield anyway.

You have a lot of great boardwipe tools that compliment your decklist, so I think Wrath of God can go.

Belbe's Armor is a great topdeck mana sink, but unimpressive otherwise.

Abzan Banner is the most expensive out of all your mana rocks; it can probably go.

+Kodama's Reach

+Tree of Perdition

+Dragonlord Dromoka

+Karlov of the Ghost Council

+Mortify

+Anguished Unmaking

+Vindicate

+Utter End

Cuts:

-Accorder's Shield

-Disowned Ancestor

-Jaddi Lifestrider

-Oathsworn Giant

-Omnath, Locus of Rage

-Mina and Denn, Wildborn

-Retribution of the Meek
