Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor

Legendary Creature — Elf Spirit

At the beginning of combat on your turn, up to one target land you control becomes an X/X Elemental creature with trample and haste until end of turn, where X is Obuun's power. It's still a land.

Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on target creature.

Morning ppl! as the title suggests...has anybody built a decent/succesful Estrid, the Masked manlands deck? and now with Preston Garvey, Minuteman ..is he good enough to take the lead or is he a very good second to Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor ?

Yeah! There are definitely some options. Maybe not so much on the land theft theme, but definitely on the animation theme.

Thanks thefiresoflurve for your comment. I recently got into MTG and my first deck was an Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor pre-con. Because I’ve been slowly upgrading this deck, I don’t really have any budget constraints. It’ll keep evolving as I continue playing. I’ll definitely be adding most of the cards that you mentioned. Lots of good stuff!

TypicalTimmy on New block structure: An epiphany

1 year ago

My understanding was that the primary reason they went from 3-block sets to 2-block sets was because Standard was becoming saturated for 3/4ths of a year or more with the same mechanics, making carbon copy decks too much of an annoyance. So in order to diversify the format, they switched into 2-block sets as the staple, after Tarkir. While 2-block and 1-block sets did exist prior to this, they had been working with 3-block sets for quite a while. And by "quite a while", I mean probably go back to the early 2000s or even late 90s and find 3-block sets.

That said, I'm not actually sure why they switched into 1-block sets. Personally, I despise those. It is difficult for me to become invested in a block when I know that they will saturate it with 4 - 6 new mechanics, each with about a dozen or so cards for each mechanic. This means there is a lack of diversity and synergy, as you may get 1 - 3 "good" cards that represent each mechanic - and since you only have 1 - 3, there is nothing you can really build around with.

While in competitive formats where you can run playsets of those few cards, in EDH you can not. I suspect that may be why they have moved toward a Commander supplemental set after each block, because it was alienating non-Standard players. By offering a precon package after each Set, even if the precon package is just a new Commander and maybe another 1 - 3 cards, such as with Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor, for example, non-Standard players do not feel abandoned. Likewise, Standard players don't feel saturated with the same stale mechanics for 1/2, 3/4 or even a full year straight.

So what WOTC is doing currently, I think is the best balance they are going to have. You need to diversify your income. Remember, they sell products to various consumers. EDH may be the largest format (Although I hear time and time again that the "largest" format is actually Draft), you can not focus 80% of your resources on EDH and leave out Standard, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Brawl, etc.

That's why "garbage bulk rares" exist, why pushed uncommons exist, why mythic cycles exist. Card diversity exists because - despite how any one of us may individually feel - the game does not center around us. Even if I never play a game of Standard in my life, Standard is still millions of players strong. They need cards, too.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to two things: Finances and percentages. What percentage of each format needs to be appropriately represented, to produce the best finances? Hence things such as Commander Legends and Modern Horizons.

We can all complain all we want for a dozen different reasons, but at the end of the day these cards are what's paying the bills for Hasbro. So, given all of that, I truly feel that what they have going on for themselves right now is probably the best balance they'll achieve. Anything else would be pulling too hard in one direction, and away from another.

Thanks! A couple of my buddies started running The Locust God , Gisa and Geralf and Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor so coat of arms is not really a option so vampires is kinda out the window.

Hey, welcome to TappedOut.

Your deck doesn't have a Commander. To make Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor the Commander then go into the deck editor. In the text list of cards find Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor and add the CMDR tag at the end.

Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor *CMDR*

Save and Obuun will appear in Commander category with a card image.

On a budget well done so far, nice Jeweled Lotus. Command Tower and Arcane Signet are two budget staples for Commander to consider adding. Since Obuun can put +1/+1 counters on himself to make himself a threat to do Commander damage then having more sources of evasion helps. Garruk's Uprising is a great budget card that gives all creatures you control trample as well as can be a repeatable draw source whenever a 4 or more power creature you control ETB including creating a creature token such as from Omnath, Locus of Rage.

For $5 Moraug, Fury of Akoum is a really good landfall effect for extra attacks. Druid Class starts with the static effect of gaining 1 life each time a land you control ETB. It has two other levels; level 2 is if you pay three mana you get the effect of being able to play an additional land. This effect is static, it stays as long as you control the Class. Level 3 for five mana you make a land into a potentially high power/toughness creature and you also get to keep the other Level effects. With the classes you don't lose the previous effects when you level up.

You're playing the Guildgates for Circuitous Route, but other than the interaction with Route Guildgates are not good lands since even on a budget there's better options. You could replace the Guildgates with Glade and Vista and replace Route with Skyshroud Claim which can search for Glade and Vista and put them potentially onto the battlefield untapped.

Some upgrades to consider:

If interested I offer more advice. Good luck with your deck.

Depending on your style of play i could recommend a precon but without any information its hard to just suggest something out of the blue.

For total beginners that also didn't play much magic the best would be The Zendikar Rising Precon with Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor because its Landfall and its one of the easiest and most basic triggered ability to start out with that also includes neat small combos like with fetch lands and other tricks on instant speed.

Hey, good creation and nice Secret Lair Blightsteel :)

You should consider buying the new Zendikar Rising Commander Land's Wrath precon. In the $20 precon are several cards that can improve your deck:

This is a casual budget Elemental interaction, Risen triggers whenever any Elemental you control ETB which includes tokens. If you reveal a land with Risen then you put it onto the battlefield and create another Elemental which triggers Risen again. This can be a lot of card advantage with Elementals.

Another budget Elemental interaction that uses +1/+1 counters. Ancient is a good card for counters in multiplayer Commander because it triggers whenever any player casts a spell. The mana that Omnath makes can be used to activate Marath and you can keep doing this as long as you can keep putting counters on Marath. Omnath, Locus of the Roil, Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor, Felidar Retreat, Evolution Sage can all be repeatable sources of counters onto Marath with landfall.

Some budget lands to consider adding to improve the manabase:

The Pain lands: Coast, Forge, Reef you pay 1 life to make colored mana, but that's fine in 40 life Commander and since Omnath is a life gaining engine with landfall. Can get these lands for less than $1 each. The Battle lands: Glade, Vista, Stream would help the manabase since they have good interaction with lots of basic lands and you can get them for less than $2 each.

Good luck with your deck.
