Search your library for up to two basic land cards, put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.

hyalopterouslemur on Going beyond 40 lands if …

A good ratio is 40 lands, and then 10 for mana accel, 10 for instant answers, 10 for card draw, and one boardwipe which will favor you. But it's just a guideline.
In green, you have five mana ramp spells for . All green decks should presumably use all five if possible. (Monogreen gains nothing from Farseek, and Three Visits is a very rare card because Portal: Three Kingdoms. Hermit Druid decks are advised to just use mana rocks.) Toss in Sol Ring and Arcane Signet and we're at 7. The rest can be diamonds, signets, Mind Stone, Thought Vessel (if you're drawing a ton of cards), or Coldsteel Heart (which is strictly better than diamonds because you get to choose your color).
At three mana, you get Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, and Chromatic Lantern. Wood Elves and Farhaven Elf can be good, if you have ways to sacrifice them or otherwise abuse the 1/1 body.
At four, Skyshroud Claim and Migration Path are my favorites. I also like Hedron Archive.
RockIV on Gruul commander deck: mana ramp …
6 months ago
hi everyone, latley i been playing commander with my friends every weekend. i been using my gruul commander deck, that i build recently. im having a lot of fun and getting very good results, but im thinking that i can optimize my mana ramp.
So i want to know what do you guys think.
thats the deck : Clans Savagery :Beasts ,giants and dragons!
in this moment im using cards like Goblin Anarchomancer, Nightshade Dryad, Sylvan Caryatid, Zhur-Taa Druid, as my mana dorks, i also have Somberwald Sage that is a little more expensive in mana, but give me 3.
i also use cards like Farhaven Elf and Sylvan Ranger as my mana tutors among others.
i have also spells like Rampant Growth, Cultivate and Explosive Vegetation to help me.
my doubt came because i have cards like Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic and many others that are 1 mana, mana dorks, but i didnt add them to the deck. and also mana dorks and tutor that are more mana expensive like Wood Elves or Ondu Giant that didnt make it to the deck (i also have alot of gruul mana rocks, but i didnt add them because of my commanders hability)
i didnt want to add more mana tutoring spells like Migration Path, because my commander Ruric Thar, the Unbowed will punish me if i have more non creature spells.
i think that, i may optimize my mana ramp if i add the Llanowar Elves like creatures ,but i feel that i will make the mana ramp slower, if i take out cards like Cultivate, Thirsting Roots and Explosive Vegetation even if they arent creatures (because they take mana out of my deck and i will have less chance to draw mana). I also think that the 3 mana or 4 mana tutoring options that i have will make the deck slower.
what do you guys think? thnks everyone for reading :)

Looks pretty good. I'm no Dino expert, but it does look like the predominate Red costs would dictate more Mountains and less Swamps and Foests in general. As for ramp, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx could work with the high Red devotion. Since you have Green, you also have access to ramp staples like Cultivate and you've already got Kodama's Reach. Other possibilities: Explore, Cryptolith Rite, Flare of Cultivation, Migration Path. You could also do Gamble to try to tutor a powerful enchantment, and/or Demonic Tutor.

Since Managorger Hydra has been suggested I feel honorbound to also suggest his older cousin Forgotten Ancient. A little more expensive, but more shenanigan-able. For instance with Branching Evolution
And since Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx has been suggested, allow me to suggest Rushwood Elemental & Chlorophant to make the most of the devotion. Also Garruk Wildspeaker goes great with it, and well with Wild Growth.
Your profile says you're a newer player, so if you're looking for more budget friendly generic ramp options (Nykthos is kinda pricey) Nature's Lore is pretty hard to beat for pure early value, Migration Path is 4 mana, but it's never dead.
Oh, also maybe Bioshift

Just read the description, wish I could upvote again, pinata party!! Invite your friends!
Colossal Majesty - Why not swap this with Elemental Bond or Garruk's Uprising?
Awakening Zone - What purpose does this serve, ramp? Double tokens with doubling season?
Terramorph - There is much better ramp in green such as Migration Path.
Asceticism - Vines of Vastwood would most likely better serve your purpose. While not permanent, it's much each to cast and also provides a stat boost should needed. Being able to bluff against removal is powerful in a political meta. Not to mention that wipes that will inevitably come cannot be stopped by the regen clause (for most wipes). Swapping these will lower your CMC and help ensure interaction.
Bonders' Enclave - Draw in a land slot
The Great Henge - Cast right after your commander. Draw, 1/1 counters and lifegain all for 2 green mana.
Ancient Tomb - Ramp in a land slot
Garruk, Primal Hunter - Draw, token production and a maybe ult. Nice for nykthos. Could maybe swap Return of the Wildspeaker should you value versatility over instant speed interaction.
Greater Good - One of green's best card draw, your commander will give u +5 cards. Some good value. Sac outlet also helps prevent against theft and exile effects.
Harmonize - Card draw at it's simplest
Rishkar's Expertise - I see what you're saying in your description. The decision of going tall and or wide. This might be worth considering as it's draw and doesn't effect tempo.
There are other potential cuts but I wanna see what you think of these first before going further

hey hey LyrdAduPot thanks for the question!
I havent taken the time to update this list as I've been busy with work and such however I kept Claim in the deck because I recently upgraded the mana-base to have Breeding Pool Rimewood Falls and the new Tangled Islet so it made sense to have a way to fetch them, HOWEVER! in the decks current rendition on here you're absolutely right in that Migration Path works better! :D

why would you limit yourself to forests with Skyshroud Claim when you could run Migration Path and get an island or two when you need one?
