TypicalTimmy on How do you build Karametra?

2 years ago

I had built my Karametra, God of Harvests with two main facets: The Landfall mechanic, and very massive creatures to put those lands to good use.

One clever trick you can do is loop Jeskai Barricade and Stonecloaker back and forth, bouncing each other. If you have an appropriate means of cost reduction, it becomes very efficient. For example, Oketra's Monument and Cloud Key would reduce their individual costs to a mere {W}.

Each time one of these ETB, you bounce the other and tutor a Plains. If you have a means to have that Plains ETB untapped, or able to untap it, you can filter all of them from your library that turn. One method is Stone-Seeder Hierophant. Another is Amulet of Vigor.

These, in effect, allow you to cast Jeskai Barricade for just {W}. Upon cast, you tutor a Plains. It ETB tapped and you either untap it with Amulet of Vigor or with Stone-Seeder Hierophant. From here, Jeskai Barricade ETB and you bounce Stonecloaker. Now, that Plains you just had ETB and got to untap can be tapped to add {W}, allowing you to cast the Stonecloaker from your hand thanks to the cost reduction of Oketra's Monument and Cloud Key. From here, you tutor another Plains and repeat the whole process over again.

If you want lands that have {G}, you can do this one of two ways:

• Use lands that have both subtypes, such as Arctic Treeline, Canopy Vista, Savannah, Scattered Groves or Temple Garden.
• You can also use mana filtering, such as Chromatic Lantern or Chromatic Orrery. There's also Joiner Adept, Mystic Monstrosity  ^Flip and a few others. There's Overlaid Terrain if you can get it out quick enough with artifact sources, as to not damage your land base.

Filtering into {G} will assist you in getting green mana, but it won't allow you to tutor Forests.

However, what this will do is you can tutor Forest, and use the Forest to pay for {W} to continue the combo mentioned above. If you do this, you can tutor every single land in your entire library in one single turn.

Unfortunately, Selesnya doesn't exactly have a means to give global haste. You'd want to rely on something such as Akroma's Memorial or something else. It gets pretty tricky and difficult and you're better off to try and secure the win via alt-wincon.

But, this whole setup is extremely flimsy. Just one piece being removed blows the entire combo up. Your table may not see what's going on the first one or two times, but they will catch on and the moment Jeskai Barricade drops for the first time, it'll be hit with a furious wave of removal. Once this happens, your entire deck is dead in the water.

That's why I no longer play Karametra. She definitely is a Timmy deck because she absolutely wants tons and tons of creatures slamming the field as quickly as possible... but she becomes super flimsy. Imagine getting 9 or 10 lands out by Turn 6 or 7. You drop something massive like a Desolation Twin and it gets hit with the first wave of removal. What happens is you become the biggest threat at the table, even when you have literally nothing. The reason this mentality sinks in is because your Commander has Indestructible, so most players are unequipped to handle her. Since her removal isn't an option, they hit your boardstate, instead.

You become a magnet for removal and hate, and you spend the rest of the game "catching up" and "doing nothing".

In my personal experience, she isn't fun to play because of this very reason. But... if you'd want to build her, that's how I did.

• Landfall + that combo

---

...so Stonecloaker can bounce itself. No need to even have Jeskai Barricade. Jfc I am the biggest of dumb.

Still, you need cost reduction + filtering + land untapping... it's still a cumbersome problem and, like I said, one piece of removal blows the entire combo apart.

Have you considered Overlaid Terrain ?

Hi there,

This deck already looks great, but we thought it would be worth mentioning several cards that could increase its power even more:

• Courser of Kruphix / Oracle of Mul Daya / Burgeoning : more ways to play lands.
• Nissa, Vastwood Seer  ^Flip; another way to play more lands and has a nice ultimate.
• Rampaging Baloths ; every land entering your battlefield comes with a 4/4 green beast token. This is great value for CMC6; especially when considering that Baloths itself is also a 6/6 trample creature.
• World Shaper ; when destroyed, it's another Splendid Reclamation .
• It is not particularly our thing (our play group frowns on (basic-)land destruction), but if yours is not we would also recommend Impending Disaster , Epicenter , Tectonic Break and especially Price of Glory as none of these will hurt you nearly as much as it will hurt your opponents. Also, Overlaid Terrain could be really good for you.

Warm regards,

Mrs. and Mr. NV_1980

dbpunk on Non dredge gitrog deck.

Well one card I'm surprised is never used in Gitrog and I think could work out well is Overlaid Terrain . Other than that, stuff like the quests, cards that care about the number of lands on the field and the like are probably best.

AkrosTheClear on Looking for a format

4 years ago

Hey guys, I play commander almost exclusively and as a result I am pretty lost when it comes to other formats.

I found a sweet synergy between the cards Squandered Resources or Overlaid Terrain , Lotus Cobra , and Second Sunrise . The end result is that it can generate an insane amount of mana and cast Emrakul, the Aeons Torn on turn three.

The problem is that Squandered Resources , Overlaid Terrain , and Second Sunrise are not modern legal. What format should this deck be played in? and is there any payoff other that Emrakul, the Aeons Torn I should be running?

One of my favorite cards to use in a land deck is Liege of the Tangle . If you want more fetch, Ulvenwald Hydra seems like a good fit for this deck. Also, since the goal is to get a big commander, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds can provide huge ramp. And Titania, Protector of Argoth can help get more benefit from graveyard interaction with your lands. As for defending yourself, Constant Mists works really well with graveyard land decks. Groundskeeper and Overlaid Terrain are also really good, but the latter can be risky if you’re not prepared when casting it.

hkhssweiss Thanks for the explenation on Overlaid Terrain I'll think about it. As for Amulet of Vigor Thank you for reminding me of that card I couldn't remember the name of it and I've already put it in. Oracle of Mul Daya is a card I want I just don't have. I already have Wayward Swordtooth in the deck. Instead of putrid imp I have Oblivion Crown which I like more because it can make my command lethal in one swing if I get lucky. Entomb is good. Noxious Revival and Traverse the Ulvenwald are cards that I'll have to cut something for I'm just not sure what.
