Mirenheart on Omnath, Locus of Value

1 week ago

You could cut down on the basic lands. if you have enough land ramp, you only really need like 36 lands, which can include your Kazandu Mammoth  ^Flip since it's a land on the other side. I'd suggest something like 2 mountains, 2 islands, 1 plains, something like that. You can also swap Harmonize and Shamanic Revelation with other draw options, since harmonize is like, base level, cheap draw for green, and there's lots of other options for it, and shamanic revelation kinda relies on you getting a token generator, or spending several turns bringing out a bunch of creatures, to get a good number of cards.

If you really want a "draw some cards now" Return of the Wildspeaker costs 1 more then harmonize, but will put in a little more work if you get bigger creatures out, and has the option of pumping your army late game for a potential win.

You can also go without Jungle Shrine, since it's not very searchable, comes in tapped, and doesnt tap for blue. If you need the colors, Exotic Orchard and Path of Ancestry are cheap options that (can) tap for all four colors.

eliakimras on First 5 color

Your deck is almost all green-white, but I believe you should have more mana sources for your other colors:

5-color lands like Vivid Grove and Vivid Meadow won't hurt, neither will Jungle Shrine, Seaside Citadel, Sandsteppe Citadel and Murmuring Bosk. If you run at least 1 basic of each color, Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse can fetch any color for you.

If you prefer untapped lands, Exotic Orchard, the pain lands (e.g. Battlefield Forge) and the Odyssey filter lands (e.g. Sungrass Prairie) can be quite useful. Fellwar Stone also works as the Orchard.

You should be aware of these synergies: Krosan Verge, Farseek, Nature's Lore and Skyshroud Claim can fetch Murmuring Bosk, the triomes (e.g. Indatha Triome), the battle lands (e.g. Canopy Vista) and the bicycling lands (e.g. Scattered Groves).

If it helps, you can check my Kenrith deck. Its mana base is mostly green-blue-white, with black and red as splashes.

multimedia on Omnath elementals mashup

Hey, good creation and nice Secret Lair Blightsteel :)

You should consider buying the new Zendikar Rising Commander Land's Wrath precon. In the $20 precon are several cards that can improve your deck:

• Omnath, Locus of Rage: finisher, repeatable Elemental tokens with landfall.
• Zendikar's Roil: repeatable Elemental tokens with landfall.
• Arcane Signet: two drop Rainbow mana rock.
• Mina and Denn, Wildborn: play an additional land on your turn and return a land to give Omnath trample.
• Admonition Angel: repeatable exile opponent permanents with landfall.
• Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor: repeatable +1/+1 counters with landfall.
• Waker of the Wilds: mana sink to turn lands into Elementals.
• Emeria Shepherd: recur or reanimate permanents with landfall.
• Evolution Sage: repeatable proliferate with landfall which is good with +1/+1 counters.
• Harrow: land ramp, puts two lands onto the battlefield to trigger Omnath and landfall.
• Kodama's Reach: land ramp.
• Return of the Wildspeaker: draw.
• Inspiring Call: protection and draw.
• Myriad Landscape
• Naya Panorama

---

• Risen Reef + Omnath, Locus of Rage/Zendikar's Roil

This is a casual budget Elemental interaction, Risen triggers whenever any Elemental you control ETB which includes tokens. If you reveal a land with Risen then you put it onto the battlefield and create another Elemental which triggers Risen again. This can be a lot of card advantage with Elementals.

• Forgotten Ancient + Marath, Will of the Wild

Another budget Elemental interaction that uses +1/+1 counters. Ancient is a good card for counters in multiplayer Commander because it triggers whenever any player casts a spell. The mana that Omnath makes can be used to activate Marath and you can keep doing this as long as you can keep putting counters on Marath. Omnath, Locus of the Roil, Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor, Felidar Retreat, Evolution Sage can all be repeatable sources of counters onto Marath with landfall.

---

Some budget lands to consider adding to improve the manabase:

• Exotic Orchard
• Jungle Shrine
• Mystic Monastery
• Kessig Wolf Run: it's less than $1, mana sink to give Omnath pump and trample.
• Yavimaya Coast
• Battlefield Forge
• Shivan Reef
• Cinder Glade
• Canopy Vista
• Prairie Stream

The Pain lands: Coast, Forge, Reef you pay 1 life to make colored mana, but that's fine in 40 life Commander and since Omnath is a life gaining engine with landfall. Can get these lands for less than $1 each. The Battle lands: Glade, Vista, Stream would help the manabase since they have good interaction with lots of basic lands and you can get them for less than $2 each.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, for your game tomorrow/today from the sideboard add Territory, Vista, Smoldering and the basic lands to the manabase. Later on you can upgrade the manabase, but for now add a complete manabase to the deck list.

If you own Cascading Cataracts I would add it as it's a nice way to make all five colors of mana. Tri lands are much better than Thriving lands if you're going to play other lands beside the Triomes that always ETB tapped. If you have some of the Tri lands my advice is add them replacing the Thriving lands for more color fixing. If you're going to play lands that always ETB tapped then those lands should provide more color fixing.

• Savage Lands
• Frontier Bivouac
• Jungle Shrine
• Crumbling Necropolis
• Opulent Palace

For the numbers of basic lands I would play more Forest and Mountains than Plains, Islands, Swamps. The order to consider is first Mountains, second Forests, third Swamps, fourth Islands and last is Plains. Forests should be second because they give you access to other colors with green ramp spells.

• 6x Mountain
• 5x Forest
• 2x Swamp
• 2x Island
• 2x Plains

Other cards from the sideboard to consider adding main deck:

• Sol Ring
• Golos, Tireless Pilgrim
• Bladewing the Risen
• Rampant Growth

Sol because it's one of the best sources of ramp in Commander. Golos is ramp with any land and a repeatable mana sink that mimics Ur-Dragon's ability to put a permanent onto the battlefield by instead casting it for free. Bladewing combos with Scion + Teneb. Cards main deck that could be cut for these:

• Crucible of Fire
• Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury
• Kilnmouth Dragon
• Swiftfoot Boots

Dragons don't need single card that are anthem effects that pump their power/toughness because Dragons already have high p/t with flying. Dragons who are anthems are fine as a bonus, but I wouldn't play a card that was just a p/t anthem. Rampant is subpar ramp, but if it's all you have then that's fine for now. Boots is a good card, but it's less needed here because you have Greaves.

Consider cutting Utter End for a counterspell, Dovin's Veto or Negate? Not having one counterspell is worst than a second higher mana cost exile spell. If you have Jodah, Archmage Eternal I would add him since he reduces Ur-Dragon's mana cost to five mana.

Good luck with your deck and at your game tomorrow/today.

Jungle Shrine also not legal since it produces explicitly (shows in card text).

multimedia on Naya Tokens

Hey, nice budget upgrade of the precon. Good upgrade of Kiki.

Budget cards to consider adding:

• Breath of Fury: combos with Ghired + Rhino token for infinite combat steps.
• Zealous Conscripts: combos with Kiki for infinite Conscript tokens.
• Quartzwood Crasher: repeatable huge Dino tokens with trample, very good with Garruk's Uprising.
• Ogre Battledriver: repeatable haste and pump.
• Congregation at Dawn: instant creature tutor for three different creatures.
• Shared Summons: instant creature tutor for two different creatures.
• Shield of the Oversoul: enchant Ghired to give him +2/+2 flying and indestructible allowing him to freely attack each turn.
• Farseek: two drop land ramp that can search for a dual land such as Cinder Glade or Canopy Vista.
• Canopy Vista
• Exotic Orchard
• Jungle Shrine
• Naya Panorama
• Battlefield Forge

---

Cards to consider cutting:

• Jungle Hollow
• Blossoming Sands
• Temple of the False God
• Great Furnace
• 1x Plains
• Release the Ants
• Root Snare
• Loxodon Smiter
• Burning Anger
• Desolation Twin
• Vivien's Invocation
• Samut, Tyrant Smasher
• Magewright's Stone

---

Examples of some changes to consider:

• Jungle Shrine > Jungle Hollow
  I'm guessing you meant to type Shrine instead of Hollow since Hollow is not a legal card in Naya colors.

• Breath of Fury or Zealous Conscripts > Burning Anger
  Fury or Conscripts are win condition combos with either Ghired or Kiki, they will have a lot more impact than Burning.

• Quartzwood Crasher > Desolation Twin
  Crasher at five mana can be repeatable Dino tokens that can be 10/10s or higher that have trample. The 10/10 Eldrazi that Twin creates is not good enough for 10 mana.

• Ogre Battledriver > Samut, Tyrant Smasher
  

• Congregation at Dawn or Shared Summons > Vivien's Invocation
  Invocation at seven mana can miss in the top seven and not reveal a creature. Dawn at three mana or Summons at five don't miss.

Good luck with your deck.

Malsorn on Gishath Dino Tribal

My thoughts are that the best improvements could be made to the landbase. Command Tower, Path of Ancestry, Jungle Shrine, Field of Ruin, Krosan Verge, Scavenger Grounds, Rogue's Passage... Sure, the last three are colorless, but you can usually afford a few colorless utility lands in a 3 color deck. I'd also recommend Cinder Glade, Canopy Vista, Sheltered Thicket, and Scattered Groves, as they can be searched up by the verge and count as their respective basic types for your checklands and showlands. Also makes Skyshroud Claim worth considering, which would be a great addition to your ramp package! I'd dump the guildgates, untyped tapped lands, and the bouncelands for them, but the bouncelands might be worth keeping if your group doesn't play much land destruction, in which case I'd dump the lifelands.

Migration Path is a strict upgrade to Explosive Vegetation, and Rampant Growth is a strict upgrade to Thunderherd Migration since it always costs 2. Less flavorful, but more efficient.

Lastly, Sol Ring, it's the most powerful ramp in the format, definitely worth considering.

multimedia on I'm Mr. Marisi, Look at me!

3 months ago

Hey, you don't have 100 cards, don't need to make cuts just yet ;)

Your deck is missing Marisi as Commander. In the deck editor add the CMDR tag after Marisi text.

Marisi, Breaker of the Coil *CMDR*

Doing this will make Marisi the official Commander and show the card image.

---

Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Eladamri's Call are some staple cards within the budget here.

Goblin Spymaster is another repeatable way to give your opponents creatures. Bedlam makes it so your opponents kill each other with unblockable creatures since they're not going to be attacking you. Mass Hysteria gives all creatures haste. Grenzo, Havoc Raiser and Agitator Ant can be repeatable goad.

The shadow ability is good with Marisi since opponents are not going to have creatures with shadow thus shadow creatures will consistently do combat damage to a player and trigger Marisi.

• Soltari Foot Soldier
• Spirit en-Dal: repeatable, can give any creature shadow.
• Soltari Visionary

More flying creatures will also consistently do combat damage to a player to trigger Marisi.

• Aven Mindcensor
• Kinjalli's Sunwing
• Shalai, Voice of Plenty

---

Land upgrades to consider:

• Jungle Shrine
• Temple Garden
• Stomping Ground
• Battlefield Forge
• Brushland
• Karplusan Forest
• Canopy Vista
• Cinder Glade
• Rootbound Crag
• Clifftop Retreat
• Sunpetal Grove
• Rugged Prairie
• Naya Panorama
• Ash Barrens
• Rogue's Passage
• Kessig Wolf Run

Good luck with your deck.
