For landfall theme decks, you're missing Lotus Cobra, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, Sire of Stagnation, and potentially Splendid Reclamation.

Yarok makes triggers double, including bounce lands. That's the last thing we want! Get them out of the deck!

i will look into some lands like you said, but i generally dislike the fact that enter tappped.

Tatyova, Benthic Druid is grate i had it in some iteration and didnt find it did that much tho.

on the 3 point i got a lot of copy effects and common occurance is some etb effects that kill creatures so i prefer the flexibility they give.

might change Lotus Cobra for Fblthp, the Lost since its easier to cast.

Deadeye Navigator is on the maybe board, same with the elves.

i will think on having Fierce Empath on the main again.

i forgot the big boy Woodland Bellowerexisted and will put it in as fast as i can, probably taking out a signet.

should i take out leyline for something else?

Hello my friend, can you tell us how this deck perform ? :) Seems really strong ! My only point is your lands... 34 is really really hard in the format. Even Weeny White or Red Decks Win decks run 36+ lands and they have 1 or 2 ccm commanders not 5 ccm :D I know you have 3 talismans and 3 signets (what about Arcane Signet btw ?) but if you want a competitive build you should really try to go to 38 lands and add all the 1 turn ramp ; maybe instead of your 2 mana rocks ? (Arbor Elf, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Elvish Mystic, Lotus Cobra... even Boreal Druid or Gilded Goose because flying and your commander) Skullclamp is a good way to cycle your mana droks mid-game.

If this was a thing, Landfall looks fun with Oboro, Palace in the Clouds cand Tatyova, Benthic Druid.

Lotus Cobra plus Fastbond equals infinite landfall triggers. Just need a way to put cards back in your deck, or forgo playing Tatyova and play Jaddi Offshoot instead.

king-saproling - Ah, a well-knowledged player!

When I reworked this deck, my goal was to make it rely less on the commander and thusly removed pieces such as Knight of New Alara and Lovisa Coldeyes, but there are some here I really like. I really only cast him with Evolutionary Leap, Purphoros, God of the Forge, or Gaea's Cradle.

Genesis Wave is a card I always knew somewhat what it did, but never truly read the card. It seems excellent in here, and I've been meaning to remove Ajani Unyielding.

I am not too fond of cards that merely ramp lands with X in the cost, especially if it may get not value. Animist's Awakening, though can be impressive, there is better I can do with my mana.

Lotus Cobra is one I own but isn't in here. It probably should be.

Stone-Seeder Hierophant is one I have never heard of, one of my avocations being perusing older sets for unseen gems. Though it can be powerful and is findable with Imperial Recruiter, it's ramp with summoning sickness on turn four, having but one toughness. Lotus Cobra seems more idoneous.

Avenger of Zendikar is quite literally perfect for this strategy. The only reasons I do not run it is because I do not enjoy having multiple of the same finisher across my decks and it's arguably a strictly better version of my commander. I couldn't do that to Hazezon. xD

Emeria Angel could get out of control quickly and I do love birds (thank you Beholden to Birds), but Field of the Dead is horrendously easy to find and more difficult for some decks to interact with.

Impact Tremors is more difficult to tutor version than Purphoros, whilst being far less impactful on its own.

Nature's Revolt is quite fun as wrath protection. I used to run Jolrael, Empress of Beasts for the same reason. Still, not my style, but thank you.

This deck already has quite a few tutors, and it doesn't actually make that many tokens afore turn five. The value in Enlightened Tutor and Imperial Recruiter is that they can find setup pieces early due to the low cost and have value later. Oracle of Mul Daya early, Ulvenwald Hydra later. I am not too fond of the high cost of Chord of Calling here, also because the deck has a fair amount of tutoring as is.

Green Sun's Zenith, on tother hand, looks lovely. I could easily see this in here, though a Dryad Arbor would be wise.

Tempt with Discovery tends to be a four mana ramp spell that finds one land. I do prefer a Pir's Whim or Hour of Promise.

I've tried Reap and Sow. Strip Mine does the job rather well, and four mana ramp for one land is heftily underperforming.

Creeping Renaissance is an interesting one, though the deck isn't actually that graveyard reliant. I'm rather copacetic with my Genesis and Eternal Witness loops.

I have also tested with Safe Haven, though it was just far too slow.

Divine Visitation can get out of hand very quickly, but I have it as a finisher in tokens. Best not to end the games the same way as other strategies, in my eyes at least.

I used to love Shields of Velis Vel. Oh, the blowouts it bestowed. I cut it when I made the deck less reliant on the commander, but I would love to use it again.

In summation, I like Genesis Wave, Lotus Cobra, and Green Sun's Zenith, with Shields of Velis Vel urging me. I merely must find out what to remove.

Walukut would be fun to include, though the lands slot is rather tight, and I refuse to remove Hammerheim. (It's never done anything. Not yet, anyway.)

Thank you for the comment. You obviously know the game well, and I'll have to look at some of your decks. :)

Cool deck! Thoughts on these? Genesis Wave, Animist's Awakening, Lotus Cobra, Stone-Seeder Hierophant, Avenger of Zendikar, Emeria Angel, Impact Tremors, Nature's Revolt, Chord of Calling, Green Sun's Zenith, Tempt with Discovery, Reap and Sow, Creeping Renaissance, Safe Haven, Divine Visitation (gets around Hazezon's downside), Shields of Velis Vel (this one is fun with Hazezon. If somebody plays removal on him, target an opp with Shields of Velis vel and Hazezon will exile all their creatures as he leaves).

Love the deck! Is there a reason of not using Lotus Cobra ? Thanks
