Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth

Legendary Creature — God

Trample (This creature can deal excess combat damage to the player, planeswalker or battle this is attacking if lethal combat damage would be dealt to all blocking creatures.)

Whenever this deals combat damage to a player, reveal that many cards from the top of your library. You may put a creature card and/or a land card from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.

When this dies, return this to the battlefield transformed under the control of this creature's owner.

Hi fellow Goreclaw-player!

Might I suggest the following:

• Eladamri, Korvecdal: better version of Augur of Autumn in terms of creature-casting from the top of your deck, in that he doesn't have the prerequisite Augur has. The way he can also help to make (large) creatures appear on the battlefield for free is pretty awesome too.
• Frenzied Baloth/Prowling Serpopard: helps against those pesky blue players.
• Jumbo Cactuar: give it trample or unleash it against an opponent that has no remaining blockers and watch em die.
• Ohran Frostfang: doesn't just make your army much deadlier in an attack, but also provides a lot of useful card-draw when your guys' hits land.
• Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth: more potential free casting (and ramp).
• Yeva, Nature's Herald: your creatures will become a lot more scary if they can appear at any given time.

Have fun with the deck!

Made these changes a while ago to the decklist, but never actually posted the change log. Slotted in Fetchlands for more land ETB triggers. With Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, Ramunap Excavator, Eternal Witness and other recursion, downsides are minimized.

This update also marks a big moment for the deck in retiring Tempt with Discovery, a very well known card in this deck amongst my playgroup for accelerating my mana. It has been replaced with Realms Uncharted and Petrified Field (which is additional land recursion), to make better use of a land tutor. Many other swaps were just to lean out the mana curve of my ramp and make some better functionality and flexability changes with how the meta of EDH has evolved. I also acquired a new copy of Craterhoof Behemoth. I like the art and the flavor text seems very fitting for how I feel the deck plays.

Crop RotationGC helps get "the land" your board wants. Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip can bring it back to your hand. A creature you may like to check out is Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth  ^Flip the cards don't go to graveyard but you get to choose creature or land from the revealed cards and it has to be exiled to be removed from the battlefield.

Valid points all, CommanderNeyo, yet extensive play-testing has shown me that 2-mana and other low cost creatures are more valuable here. Why? I used to run more ramp and the result was my opponents' boards built up too quickly compared to mine. Plenty of mana, but too few creatures to protect me. So I compensated by adding creatures which added mana and lowered mana-costs: Druid of the Cowl, Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, and of course Arixthemes.

As to card draw, it may not be as bad as you think. Sab-Sunen, Luxa Embodied, Garruk's Uprising, Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth  ^Flip, Rashmi, Eternities Crafter, Thassa, God of the Sea, and Sledge-Class Seedship all either draw cards, put cards directly from hand to battlefield, library to battlefield, or scry.

All I can say is that the deck plays better than it did when I ran more direct ramp and card-draw. It has never lost quickly or easily, and if it wins slowly too - that is in flavor:

"I cannot think of the deep sea without shuddering at the nameless things that may at this very moment be crawling and floundering on its slimy bed, worshipping their ancient stone idols and carving their own detestable likenesses on submarine obelisks of water-soaked granite. I dream of a day when they may rise above the billows to drag down in their reeking talons the remnants of puny, war-exhausted mankind—of a day when the land shall sink, and the dark ocean floor shall ascend amidst universal pandemonium." - H.P. Lovecraft

Interesting build. Mayael was my second commander, after a short stint with Uril, and she remains one of my favorites to date.

I run 40 creatures in mine and find that allows me to hit more consistently with Mayael. Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth  ^Flip is great because you can both find it with Mayael or use it as a secret commander if she doesn't stick to the board.

I would definitely include Selvala's Stampede, it is one of the best cards in my list and has won me many games. Another favorite of mine is Lurking Predators.

Other cards I feel suit Mayael theme very well are See the Unwritten and Last March of the Ents.

Including the modal lands, or Pathways, would allow you to lose slow or janky lands like Jetmir's Garden, Dryad Arbor or Reflecting Pool.

I hope some of this is helpful. Here is my version for inspiration, your comments are welcome!
