Orcish Lumberjack

Creature — Orc

, Sacrifice a Forest: Add three mana in any combination of and/or to your mana pool.

DreadKhan on Brian Stacks' Plow Under (1v1)

I have a deck that was doing something a bit similar, it was Gruul mostly so it could use Orcish Lumberjack. That card/deck got a lot of mileage out of Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, this can help you hit Plow Under mana while further denying your opponent a key land. If you use any dual lands that have Basic land types then Acid-Moss can find them, it specifies Forest. Another card that might be funny is Argothian Wurm, it is on the Reserved List but isn't too pricey, it's great if a deck can hate on lands enough.

I neglected to mention any land destruction suggestions, but if speed is essential I'll limit my choices to low-cost spells:

Raze

Tremble

Crack the Earth

Impending Disaster

Also, Orcish Lumberjack may or may not be helpful. You don't have many Forests. I think it would be worth playtesting, at least.

And Elvish Reclaimer is repeatable land sac that replenishes while at it.

Okay, I'm done now.

Deforestation

Scorcery

Destroy all forests on the battlefield gain for each forest destroyed if X is 8 or more add two mana of any color combination for each forest destroyed

Bringing back old land hoses like Acid Rain or Boil. Plus took some inspiration from Orcish Lumberjack (which I'm sad he's not in plaid)

Thanks for the comment and the upvote DreadKhan! Orcish Lumberjack is a great suggestion. I actually had it in the original version. I loved how quickly you could ramp with it and Tinder Wall.

Weirdly, I mostly used it to cast Jokulhaups, but you're absolutely right that it has the ability to help get Lhurgoyf out in a hurry after wiping the board. Needing it to be in play for a turn before I cast Jokulhaups is a little scary because people will know I'm up to something, but I'm definitely going to test it out again and see how it fits in this version. I think the mana base will support it since I don't typically have trouble getting the for Jokulhaups.

Thanks for your thoughts! I appreciate it!

I feel like it'd be pretty sweet if you could get Orcish Lumberjack in here, but I'm not sure how consistently you could cast it. Not sure if you really want to 'rush' to cast your Jokulhaups, but this would help wipe with mana up to cast a Lhurgoyf, which is what the deck wants to be doing.

Drogskol Reaver for sure

Monastery Mentor if they had partner

Mantis Rider for fun.

Orcish Lumberjack for even more fun.

If there's already strict upgrades actually out there then I'll just claim it's for nostalgia's sake,

But also let me know what they are haha

rwn1971 They are both interesting cards. Orcish Lumberjack is cool, he seems like he can ramp Omnath out quickly. I probably wouldn’t run him just because he seems like he can be a bit of a nonbo with a bunch of the cards I love, like Field of the Dead, Scapeshift and Scute Swarm. My playgroup runs a lot of removal, and if someone removes him, you will have put yourself in a bit of a hole. If you run him, you have to be reaaally careful.

Lotus Field Goes well with stuff like Titania, but is a bit on the slow side. Also, a single bit of land destruction would really mess you up.

I haven’t tried these cards out, but best of luck if you decide to! These are just my opinions
