KayneMarco on Terror Forming Terraforming [Primer]

As I mentioned before the deck looks pretty good as it sits. Being it’s a lands deck and having a commander that lets you play lands from the yard I do think you need to be running at least a few more extra lands per turn cards. Just gonna list the possible adds to test out. Not suggesting to use them all…unless you really want to. I run them all in every landstorm deck I build.

• Hugs, Grisly Guardian
• Loot, Exuberant Explorer
• Mina and Denn, Wildborn
• Wayward Swordtooth
• Zell Dincht
• Case of the Locked Hothouse
• Druid Class
• Rites of Flourishing
• Exploration Broodship
• Storm Cauldron is really sick in a lands deck. Especially if you run all the xtra lands per turn cards because having to return lands to your hand to play them again in a lands deck is what you want. Plus it slows opponents down since most opponents won’t be able to play more than two lands per.

Some recursion ideas that are also good lands matter cards are:

• Six
• Wrenn and Six
• Wrenn and Realmbreaker

Could possibly use some more sac outlets for your lands:

• Constant Mists for protection
• Zuran Orb for life gain
• Spitting Spider to take care of flyers
• Need for Speed to give you army haste
• Keldon Arsonist to get rid of opponents annoying lands.
• Glacial ChasmGC Don’t ever pay the upkeep. Sacs itself and just play it from the yard every turn during your second main so you can still attack.

Possible landfall additions that could benefit the deck:

• Geode Rager for protection.
• Caustic Crawler for creature removal.
• Evolution Sage since you have a +1/+1 counter theme as well.
• Springheart Nantuko to make copies of whatever creatures of yours you want

Doubling landfall triggers:

• Ancient Greenwarden
• Traveling Chocobo

These are all cards that could add to and enhance your game plan. Pick and choose as you see fit :)

illumfolly: Thanks for commenting!

Mana Echoes - I had this card in a long time ago, but the deck isn't built to take advantage of it. The curve is really, really low, and the only X cost card I have is a sideboard of Rolling Earthquake. When I played Echoes before I would quite often make 200+ colorless mana the turn after it went down, but any turn after T3 I only have one or two cards in hand, and neither of them can take advantage of all that colorless mana.

Wildfire/Burning Sands/Keldon Arsonist - The problem with a deck like mine and effects that have a land sac effect means I can't do anything in response to it. Keldon Arsonist for example, if I spent the 1 colorless, and then sacc'd two lands to active his ability, I can't then sac them to Ib before they go to the graveyard because it's part of a cost and doesn't use the stack. With a cycled Decree of Annihilation or a Boom/Bust I can respond to the destroy trigger with an Ib sac, and still get Goblin tokens out of a symmetrical spell. To go with the land destruction suggestions though, I used to run Shivan Harvest and a Ruination, and realized that the land destruction got me a ton of hate that I often couldn't survive through, while Price of Glory/Price of Progress/Blood Moon/Magus of the Moon/Acidic Soil had a better ultimate effect, and I had a lot more control over the table hate too. I'm always on the lookout for more "land dysfunction" or control type of effects though! I sideboarded Mana Web just because I want another 1 or 2 stax effects that deal with land specifically.

Mana Echoes -- do it!

Burning Sands?

Keldon Arsonist?

I would run more single target land destruction just to single out colors, so yo can cast multiple lands per tern with your lands. I would also run land destruction that deals damage in case you are too slow whith land destruction and they get some creatures out, and also to hurry up the game and hopefully finish it. I would suggest Pain/Suffering, Choking Sands, Lava Blister, Molten Rain, Cryoclasm, Dwarven Blastminer, Dwarven Miner, Rancid Earth, Shivan Harvest, Keldon Arsonist and perhaps even Pooling Venom.
