Balaam__ on The Dying Rainforest

You have the right idea, now it just needs to be tightened up. I would double down on Assault Formation and run the full 4x copies, as that’s more or less your only wincon. Either that or find more spells that assign damage by toughness rather than power.

The mana base could be further tuned as well; consider fetchlands if you have access to them, as well as Razorverge Thicket/Canopy Vista to speed things up.

Lastly, running Lignify in a deck like this might be a good idea. You have only Path to Exile as far as removal goes, and this one is effective and thematically appropriate.

SaberTech on Which Mono-Color is the Most …

I think that Green is the most powerful all-around colour in Commander. Multiplayer games are even more of a resource management challenge than MtG usually is, and Green is the most efficient at giving you more of the resources that you need. You are usually facing down three opponents worth of resources that can all potentially be turned against you so the faster that you can get to a state where you are drawing more than one card a turn, putting more than one land a turn into play, and casting more than one card a turn, the better off you are. Green's ability to ramp better than any other colour unlocks multiple and more powerful plays faster than the other colours. That's a very significant advantage in a format where mass land destruction is generally shunned outside of the most competitive tables.

Backing it up, Green has a bunch of strong card draw options. Guardian Project, Beast Whisperer, Sylvan Library, Greater Good, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Ohran Frostfang, and Return of the Wildspeaker are just some of the options that jump to mind.

Green is very capable of spamming a bunch of tokens into play, giving it an option for rapidly increasing its resources on board.

Craterhoof Behemoth and, to a lesser extent, Triumph of the Hordes are some of the more notorious non-combo ways to close out a game.

When you are mostly using creatures as your win conditions Green actually has some pretty strong tutors in cards like Worldly TutorGC, Eldritch Evolution, and Shared Summons among others.

Where Green falls short is in its creature removal options. Fight effects are its main options but it does get Beast Within as a general answer to most things while Lignify and Song of the Dryads can actually be strong ways of neutralizing annoying commanders for extended periods of time. It has plenty of great ways for dealing with artifacts and enchantments though, so no issues there.

Other colours may be able to do particular things better, but Green does lots of things well on top of its inherent advantage at ramping. Other colours may be able to use mana rocks to try to keep up but green has access to those as well. That ramping ability is what tips green into first place over Black for me.

Have you considered any Tribal cards? I'm thinking stuff like:

• Eyeblight's Ending and Lignify for removal;

• Formless Genesis or Reach of Branches as recurring crow generators;

• All is Dust since you have so many colorless permanents;

• Eldritch Immunity works for all your creatures, not just colorless (though you only have 9 sources that could produce colorless, so may be hard to cast).

This list looks fun, I love how efficient the creature curve is. Invasion of Ikoria  ^Flip, Invasion of Shandalar  ^Flip, Invasion of Mercadia  ^Flip etc could all be helpful, all the battles in your color are pretty good with the theme, there's some boardwipe ones too. Similarly I like Wrenn and Six or whatever planeswalkers you fancy (wrenn feels like the best generic walker in edh to me), and maybe Tarmogoyf Nest, Not of this World, and Lignify for even more types to boost? also i prefer stuff like Seal of Primordium Seal of Doom Unbridled Growth Font of Fertility etc for enchantments but if those feel too low-impact i get it. just some stuff to consider that might make the goyves fatter.

Coward_Token on Loot?

IMO get some cheap-ish planeswalkers and battles to increase the maxinum number of Loot cards. I'd suggest cutting down on spell cards since they can help Loot.

Also, while they're pretty bad, you might want to consider Cloak and Dagger and even Eyes of the Wisent in order to tick the Tribal/Kindred type in addition to Lignify. C&D can at least give Loot shroud for some resiliency, and Eyes... well, it might trigger, sometimes. Both gives up to two cards with Loot at least.

This feels like it fits into a Commander precon. That's not a bad thing, I'm just trying to work out what sort of Auras you would be grabbing with this thing. The Impetus spells and Vows would be okay. Some stuff like Song of the Dryads and Lignify. (Seriously, what cards didn't get a LotR reprint? I skipped the previews, and now I'm finding the everywhere.) After that, it's mostly white and black control and debuff. Is there a specific interaction you were looking at?

The name is great.

How about some more removal? Beast Within, Lignify, and Song of the Dryads are all good ways to get rid of annoying stuff.
