SufferFromEDHD on Archelos, Landfall / Emergent Ultimatum

I too enjoy OG land tech. You have Yavimaya and Urborg for that though along with Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.

Glacierwood Siege an additional "Worlds" effect

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx > Bloom Tender

If you go the Nykthos route Minamo, School at Water's Edge plus the easy Archelos activation.

I see Green Sun's Zenith and a juicy Vorinclex target. Would Dryad Arbor + Natural OrderGC be useful here?

In my land based strategies I always try to squeeze in Unwind + Rewind for the value.

P.S. Squandered Resources is the greatest card in the entire card pool. Always enjoy seeing it in a deck.

Update!

Out: 1x Island

In: Minamo, School at Water's Edge

The deck is already bracket 4, so may as well improve it! This will at least help me untap Geist essentially giving him vigilance if he doesn't already have it.

Just saw this spoiled and it got the creative juices flowing. Looks like it did for you too, Speedy Gonzales! Hopefully some more Shard cards are printed.

Search for Glory change your lands to snow and this would be very powerful

Minamo, School at Water's Edge utility

It's fair enough on the Lutri thing. It basically got banned on a technicality anyway (As it is a legal companion in every commander deck due to the rules). Though I believe this does make your deck fall under Commander Rule Zero, instead of regular Commander/EDH, but that's mostly semantics.

Fae of Wishes is another card of limited usefulness depending on your rules. Technically commander doesn't have a sideboard and therefore it cannot search for anything, but this might also be a rule you're bending (Don't let other people tell you how to have fun).

As for actual deck suggestions, some things to untap your commander might come in very handy. Patriar's Seal and Minamo, School at Water's Edge. After all, her ability says the next time you cast a spell, so if you tap her more than once, it will copy the next spell more than once.

Then your sources of deal 1 damage on a creature entering the battlefield seem like you either aren't going hard enough into it or you should strip it out entirely. It's taking up about 10% of the non-land cards in the deck and well...

If you have a Termagant Swarm with 8 counters and you have Witty Roastmaster or Gibbering Fiend and you have Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph, then you need to find a way to kill your own termagant, because no one else is going to do it for you. Your only sources of that are Pongify and Beast Within. Sure that's not the only way you can do the synergy (Ovika, Enigma Goliath is the best way it can go)... but they are all just about as hard, often relying on your opponent to let you do them.

I'm also not sure how good Harbinger of the Seas is for you. You are running a lot of non-basic land yourself so it's not like it's going to synergise with anything you're doing so much as it's just a declaration that other players aren't allowed to play their decks until they can deal with it (which they may be entirely unable to do). It seems like a very unfun way to control the table.

As for land search, the pain fetch series, such as Scalding Tarn or Misty Rainforest might help you get that extra turn when you need it (much better than 1 life). Similarly because they get land types they can search for dual lands if you need them as long as those lands have types, like your Cinder Glade. This is generally a bit faster than Terramorphic Expanse and it's ilk.

Since your landbase is looking budgetless, how about Takenuma, Abandoned Mire, Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Minamo, School at Water's Edge and Volrath's Stronghold in place of Plains, Irrigated Farmland, Fetid Pools and Tarnished Citadel?

Thousand-Year Elixir and Minamo, School at Water's Edge for Jalira.

Flayer Husk cheap fodder for Jalira.

See Beyond shuffle a fatty back where it belongs.

Misdirection would be useful in this list.
