Once and Future

Instant

Return target card from your graveyard to your hand. Put up to one other target card from your graveyard on top of your library. Exile Once and Future.

Adamant — If at least three green mana was spent to cast this spell, instead return those cards to your hand and exile Once and Future.

Caerwyn I think you nailed it with adamant I just looked at the 18 cards that have it and the only one I use and could ever see myself using is Once and Future. There was one or two that might have made the cut in standard but yeah over all the cards are just bad. It seems like they just tried to play it too safe.

Hey I like the deck, it's festive and fun. I love the idea of not aiming to win, but smashing faces and just having a good time. Pulling out wins will make it just that much more fun. Couple of notes: Trace of Abundance and Naya Hushblade won't work because is has a Naya color identity, so it's not legal for Gruul commander. May I recommend Overabundance? The newly printed Wild Magic Surge also is perfect with your commander, especially with her triggered ability. Akki blizzard herder is a fun inclusion. Maybe regrowth effects like Once and Future will be good here to get cards back?

Here's what I'm currently thinking the plan'll be:

Once and Future will be cut for Noxious Revival

Emeria Shepherd will be cut for Flawless Maneuver

Nyxbloom Ancient will be cut for Protean Hulk

Return of the Wildspeaker will be cut for Brainstone

Sneak Attack will be cut for Combustible Gearhulk

Austere Command will be cut for Winds of Abandon

Should anyone find themselves in a state of astonished disagreement, please feel free to air your grievances in the comment section down below ;)

Some cuts/adds I'm pondering at the moment, getting back into this deck:

  1. My whole recursion package needs to go. Emeria Shepherd doesn't have enough Plains to function properly, and the days of the Zacama, Primal Calamity combo are long since past. Once and Future is overcosted and replaceable... with the lovely Noxious Revival. This is probably the most direct upgrade, all the other cards I'm cutting (e.g. Shepherd) don't have straight-across replacements.

  2. Nyxbloom Ancient may well be cut if I decide a card like Protean Hulk, Treeshaker Chimera, Voice of Many, or Combustible Gearhulk is better. The Ancient is just a generic value piece, and I'm trying to cut down as much on those as I can. It does, however, allow for some of the crazy-long turns that I take to work, so I'm really unsure if it's gonna go or not.

  3. Brainstone, Kavu Lair, and Flawless Maneuver are all looking really spicy right now. Unsure as to what cuts would allow them to come in.

  4. Greater Gargadon might come out for Towering Titan, as cracking into a vanilla 9/7 is a bit underwhelming. The Gargadon is great at being an uninteractable sac outlet, but I do like the trample grant on Towering Titan. Again, unsure.

Hi

Your deck looks great for the first try.

I was suggested your deck under my favorite deck, which uses the same commander. Had Ghalta, Primal Hungeras Commander first, but then switched to Nylea, Keen-Eyed because Ghalta was to OP ;-) Also had Nylea, God of the Hunt like you, but i don't need "Other creatures you control have trample."

What do you want to do with your deck, I did not realize.

You have some mechanics:

Landfall

+1/+1 counter

Control

If all goes well your deck is strong, but what do you do when you play against a deck that destroys/enchants the 2-3 key cards? I would add the:

Nature's Spiral

Once and Future

And remove:

Defend the Hearth

Hunter's Ambush

You say you've been playing for only a month? Makes me wonder how you got such a strong deck together, respectfully.

What helped me a lot was to make the listing personal.

Thoughts on swapping Once and Future for Seasons Past? Its 2 more mana, but a much stronger effect. Playtesting your deck I didn't always have a lot of green mana given all of the utility in your landbase. Speaking of utility....

Field of the Dead - Any reason why you don't run it, due to your dork package? Same question with Yavimaya Hollow

Other than the bounce artifacts you already have in the deck, you should also look into reanimation effects to get your commander out onto the field again, like Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Once and Future, Bond of Revival, Cauldron's Gift, or Eternal Witness. Golgari doesn't have a lot of bounce effects but does have a lot of graveyard recurrence, which also should keep your commander a little cheaper than just playing it from the command zone over and over since you keep it in your graveyard instead of sending it to the command zone, where it will steadily get more expensive.

5 or so ramp cards total may be good to have. Cards like Selesnya Signet, Rampant Growth, Farseek and Mind Stone. Llanowar Elves is good to also run to give an extra elf to champion to your Wren's Run Packmaster.

Having a couple hard removal spells may also be good; Devouring Light, Swords to Plowshares and Condemn

Options for future upgrades

For drawing cards Skullclamp is basically banned in every format except commander and is spectacular in token decks.

Eternal Witness is a nice upgrade for Once and Future

Return of the Wildspeaker Is either card draw or a pump spell at instant speed.

I may have some of these in paper too!
