I love the deck! Maybe add Nissa, Ascended Animist to turn that broccoli into a craterhoof?

I feel MonoG will still be a good build somewhere. It has a good shell of the large creatures and massive devotion, just need somewhere else to put the mana into that isn't artifacts from the sideboard. Some mentioned Nissa, Ascended Animist where they cast her and just overrun the board to win. Still be careful I doubt MonoG is dead.

In addition to Nissa, Ascended Animist, here are a few other good basic land tribal cards:

Endless Atlas do be pretty good draw.

Extraplanar Lens is a great way to get an obscene amount of mana.

Baru, Fist of Krosa: Just read the card.

And finally, Finale of Devastation is kinda funny with all your mana, just saying...

Hope this helps!

Have you considered Nissa, Ascended Animist? In your deck, casting her full cost and ultimating is actually better than a Craterhoof. I love the deck!

There are a lot of cards I ordered on TCGplayer a month or more ago that haven’t arrived yet. Scryb Ranger is one of them. And I have a Nantuko Vigilante lost in the mail somewhere to synergize with Yedora and those rangers. I also have a Japanese Timber Protector that I want to run because with the second iteration of this deck, I plan to have a few cards to turn all my forests into creatures, like Life and Limb, Living Lands, and Thelonite Druid. And yes, if someone exiles all my creatures, there goes my board state, but that’s why I bought a Natural Affinity. It’s a mean reaction spell if they want to exile my land creatures.

And I have a Mycoloth for a potential combo of saccing all the forest creatures while Yedora is out, which will then let me bring them back as forests.

I’ve had really good success with the deck so far. All the trample and cards that let me pump my creatures due to how many forests I control, Finale of Devastation, Nissa, Ascended Animist and Conduit of Worlds letting me cast them multiple times, it’s all very fun.

Oh I forgot. I’d been thinking of running stuff like Cankerbloom as well because having a creature that can kill artifacts and enchantments is better than instant spells sometimes due to the commander interaction.

Most of the cards you mentioned I haven’t heard, I’ll definitely check them out.

I haven’t considered a sac outlet, even though I see how it is useful. I guess I’d rather leave the creatures as blockers and let them die from another source.

Hey I know it's been a while since this was made but I was wondering what anyone thinks of the new Nissa, Ascended Animist over this Nissa? Oathbreaker just was announced as an official format and so I'm trying to give some thought to a commander(s) I may want to play if others at my lgs are interested as well.
