phepa on Overwhelming Stampede + Morph

5 days ago

Let's say i have 3 face-down morphs (2/2) on battlefield and i cast Overwhelming Stampede. When is the very last moment i can turn morph face-up and reveal let's say Krosan Colossus ? Can i do it after my opponent passes priority to me with response and before Overwhelming Stampede is going to resolve since tunrning morph face-up is special action that doesnt use stack? Or i have to regain priority to turn morph face-up?

Joe_Ken_ on Mono Green Creature Deck **UNFINISHED**

1 week ago

Frontier Siege is a cheap bit that will get you 4 each of your turns that could come in handy.

Here are the budget version of the great green finisher Craterhooh. End-Raze Forerunners , Decimator of the Provinces , and Overwhelming Stampede

Cultivate , Rampant Growth , Explosive Vegetation , and Grow from the Ashes are all good ramp spells for budget.

Shamanic Revelation and Harmonize are good for card draw.

Bellowing Tanglewurm is an amazing all star that people don't use enough sometimes making your board unblock able against non green opponents.

Terastodon is great for taking out utility lands as well as artifacts/enchantments.

Wolfbriar Elemental or Howl of the Night Pack is just an easy way to give yourself a massive board of creatures that can run over your opponents next turn if not answered.

Crashing Drawbridge is fantastic to give your creatures haste so you don't need to wait to go for that swing.

Lanzo493 on Xenegos all out to win!

1 week ago

Pathbreaker Ibex is super powerful with Xenagos. It's an Overwhelming Stampede on a goat stick.

Quartzwood Crasher is one I've recently put into my Xenagos deck, and I like how easily gigantic the tokens get.

Zendikar Resurgent would be really strong in your deck because it gives you card draw and the mana to cast those cards.

The Great Henge and Return of the Wildspeaker are some more draw spells that your deck could really benefit from.

SynergyBuild on Ashaya is REAALLLLLY good

2 weeks ago

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is better than you think. I promise you, it's better.

You think a 5 mana creature variant of mono-green Cryptolith Rite that is massive is all? Nope.

First off it's bigger than massive, like, a lot bigger. It is monstrous in many decks. Ever seen a lot of lands and creatures out? I see a 40/40 Ashaya. I wonder if Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Soul's Majesty, Rishkar's Expertise, Traverse the Outlands, or Overwhelming Stampede would be good?

But even in a deck where it isn't that big, Ashaya is REAALLLLLLY good.

Worried about Cyclonic Rift, not on your creatures! Grasp of Fate, Abrupt Decay, Utter End, Anguished Unmaking, Oblivion Ring, etc. all are useless against it.

Not to mention... combos. Oh yeah, so... Quirion Ranger is an interesting card. It lets you bounce a forest to untap a creature.

Idk, what can a creature that's untapped do with Ashaya, Soul of the Wild? Oh, tap for mana. I wonder what's a forest that we can bounce? Oh, Quirion Ranger.

Yep, just those two go infinite together, only infinite casts, as you net even, but a Glimpse of Nature, Beast Whisperer, Primordial Sage, or Soul of the Harvest and you'll be just fine. Remember, it's a land that keeps entering, landfall infinitely, with a Lotus Cobra, Tireless Tracker, or similar, and you'll be well on your way to an easy win.

Have a Priest of Titania? Now you have infinite mana.

(Scryb Ranger can do similarly, another super easy combo)

Arbor Elf... yep, infinite untaps of itself, one Krosan Restorer and a medium graveyard, one Ley Weaver, or one Argothian Elder and you have infinite untaps and mana.

Of course, there is more, Nissa, Who Shakes the World, Timber Protector, etc.

Also, remember you can run Oblivion Stone, and all the rest too.

That's a lot of damage. Not to mention:

1. This card can be both a powerful commander or mana ramp/combo engine in decks.

2. Nissa, Who Shakes the World, Nissa, Worldwaker, etc. affect forests, and this is easily one of the best ways to get a ton of forests.

3. Titania, Steward of Argoth and other lands -> creatures style effects (think Rampaging Baloth) allow you to get a to get a ton of value from your creatures, reusing them for 4/4s and 5/3s.

4. Liege of the Tangle. Easy, clean reason why this card is hilariously fun!

5. Howl of the Night Pack, Boundless Realms, etc. There are a million of these combos, literally go look. I'm not even trying.

6. You can Leyline of Abundance for more value too, didn't mention that. Was gonna click start a new thread and just thought of it. Gonna click it now before I think of ten more!

iNinjy on Omnath, Locus of Creation

2 weeks ago

Thanks MLS91, I could see pulling out the Cloudskater since it’s basically 2+bounce to loot, and possibly also the blue expedition since it’s mainly there just as cheap card draw.

My reasoning on the ramp spells like Harrow, Migration Path or Avatar of Growth is that they guarantee hitting the 3 landfall triggers on Omnath. One extra mana (when his 2nd gives you 4 floating) is worth it in my opinion.

Essentially I’m going for a lands-matters, uh, token swarm thing? I want to reliably hit 3 lands on my turn, and of course being able to get a land out on everyone else’s for the lifegain is great too. Land-based creatures like Titania, Protector of Argoth,Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar and Radha, Heart of Keld with landfall trigger creatures like Rampaging Baloths, Omnath, Locus of Rage and Avenger of Zendikar. Probably need to add a finisher though I’m already looking at Moraug. Maybe Overwhelming Stampede or Finale of Devastation?

Peoyogon on City Smashin’ Dinos

I always love a big creature, stompy deck in EDH :)

You might want to consider adding some more ways to draw cards. I think Beast Whisperer, Garruk's Packleader, Elemental Bond, and Elder Gargaroth are all great options to look at.

You could also look into adding more win con cards that would synergize with your big creatures. Overwhelming Stampede, Beastmaster Ascension, Aggravated Assault, and Triumph of the Hordes (if you are really nasty) are all common go-wide, explosive cards that can wipe out several opponents if you have a solid board.

Hope some of those help!

1. Staples:
• Mana:
• Carpet of Flowers : No opponents who play blue? Cool, no counters. Opponents plays blue? Cool, I get mana from them.
• Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx: One of the best mono colour deck land.
• Removal:
• Force of Vigor : Manaless instant speed artifact/enchantment removal.
• Nature's Claim : 1 mana instant speed artifact/enchantment removal.
• Kenrith's Transformation : Cantrip removal.
• Lignify : Removal.
• Song of the Dryads : Removal.
• Tutor:
• Chord of Calling : Instant. Tutor.
• Green Sun's Zenith : Tutor.
• Finale of Devastation : Tutor. Lategame pump spell.
• Worldly Tutor : Instant. Tutor.
• Card draw:
• Sylvan Library : Card draw.
2. Maybe:
• Mana:
• Elvish Visionary : Cheap, cantrip, shaman.
• Mosswort Bridge : Pseudo cantrip.
• Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip : Pseudo cantrip. Flip = better Gaea's Cradle.
• Blighted Woodland : Comes into play untapped. Ramp card mid-lategame.
• Path of Ancestry : Potential card filter.
• Strip Mine : Utility land.
• Gingerbread Cabin : Forest with minor upside. No reason not to play it in mono green.
• Tutor:
• Fauna Shaman : Tutor, shaman.
• Recursion:
• Noxious Revival : Manaless. Allows another shot for wincons.
• Disruption:
• Scavenging Ooze : Manasink. graveyard disruption.
• Protection:
• Sylvan Safekeeper : Creature protection.
• Veil of Summer : Counterspell protection. Protection against blue and black removal. Most common cards with removal (although meta dependent).
• Card draw:
• Lifecrafter's Bestiary : Card draw.
• Beast Whisperer : Green conditional card draw.

• Regal Force : Card draw.

3. Cut:
• Creatures:
• Myojin of Life's Web : Too expensive. Very likely that you do not have enough cards in hand to make this worthwhile lategame.
• Patron of the Orochi : Quest for Renewal is cheaper.
• Gigantomancer : Cute, but 8 mana is too much for this kind of effect.
• Archetype of Endurance : Win more card. No real synergy. Asceticism Is better (although also not recommended).
• Trolls of Tel-Jilad : This is a bad card.
• Soul of the Harvest : Beast Whisperer / Guardian Project, cheaper. Almost same effect.
• Sakiko, Mother of Summer : Too expensive. Doesn't do enough for mana cost.
• Sage of Ancient Lore  ^Flip : Very likely that you do not have enough cards in hand to make this worthwhile mid-lategame.
• Wildheart Invoker : This is a bad card.
• Sakura-Tribe Springcaller : This is a bad card.
• Loaming Shaman : Not enough card draw that allows you to get your desired cards in you hand.
• Essence Warden : This is a bad card.
• Vines of Vastwood : Very situational card.
• Squall Line : Not very good card. Situational.
• Krosan Grip : Expensive situational removal.
• Gilded Lotus : Unnecessary ramp.
• Tranquil Grove : Unless your meta plays a lot of enchantments, not really necessary. Otherwise, recommmend Back to Nature instead.
• Beastmaster Ascension : Your creatures are not big enough for this to work consistently.
• Spidersilk Armor: No tutors, not enough card draw to obtain it. Unreliable flyer prevention. Silklash Spider Will hold off flyers with tutors.

Staple cards are cards I recommend obtaining and using, since they are almost always good cards to have in any green deck. The rest is up to preference and should be taken with a grain of salt. I hope I could be of some use to you.

MagicMarc on Elves without shelves

3 weeks ago

First, play whatever cards you want or feel like. Your deck, your gameplay, and Have Fun!

The following are all friendly suggestions not in any way meant as criticism of your deck. But the singleton thing should get stopped. Figure out which elves work best for your local metagame and the decks you play against. Then go to 2 or 4 copies each of them. Cut the situational cards and put them in the sideboard for game 2 or remove them entirely. I would also follow abby315's list of suggestions and his suggestion of ditching weak pump spells and replace them with the various lords or creatures with a pump capability like others have suggested. Here is a list of cards that may be decent replacements or adds to your deck:

Ezuri, Renegade Leader is probably one of the better elf cards for aggro elves. Provides Regeneration for any other elves you have and Overrun at will. I would go to a 2 count
Imperious Perfect: Replace Wirewood Hivemaster with this card. The hivemaster produces insects so they wont bonus from your anthem/lord effects. Is not legendary so you can have up to 4 copies. Besides pumping all your other elves, they even produce them every turn. Worth 2-4 copies.
Reclamation Sage: Replace Deconstruct with this, maybe go to 2 copies main deck. But if the deck is for 1 on 1 put them in the sideboard for game 2.
Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen: Replace Stream of Life with this guy, go to 2 copies of this maybe
Loxodon Warhammer, Rancor or anything like them: Replace your instants that boost creatures with permanents like these or similar instead. Or if you are going to have a combat trick in your hand then make it something like Overwhelming Stampede, Wrap in Vigor or Heroic Intervention like abby315 suggested. If it's not a permanent you want a card that is going to change the game state dramatically not just boost 1 creature for 1 turn. Remember, if you have a card like Ezuri, Renegade Leader or your Timberwatch Elf you can activate his ability at instant speed which surprises people if they lose track of what you have in play.
Return of the Wildspeaker: An example of a go big instant instead of cards like Giant Growth. Replace any instant you have with this card. Its modal to refill your hand or giant growth all of your elves. At instant speed.
Beast Within: If you want instant speed removal, use a catch-all card like this instead of 1 card for artifacts, 1 card for creatures, etc. It doesnt need to be this card specifcally but one that targets any permanent at instant speed. And run at least 2 copies of it main deck to always have an answer in your deck for your opponent's stuff.
Lifecrafter's Bestiary: Replace wurm's tooth with a copy of this card instead. It will accelerate your deck. 2 copies wouldnt hurt.

Some good utlity cards:

Bow of Nylea: Excellent all around support card. Does many things but the big one is giving your elves deathtouch so even when you attack with them when they are tiny, they kill stuff. All the other utility is amazing value.
Leyline of Abundance: Another mana ramp/anthem/lord option that has a chance of getting put into play on turn 1.
Nullmage Shepherd: This card is like repeatable Naturalize. Sometimes holding an instant in your hand is better, but sometimes repeatable wins games.
Titania's Chosen: Replace stuff like Wurm's tooth or Nomadic Elf, Norwood Ranger with cards like this or some of your other better creatures you should be running more copies of.
Masked Admirers: Another good elf creature that provides a repeatable benefit that can be used to replace other cards you arent thrilled about.
Creeping Renaissance: Following someone wiping the table, this card or Fresh Meat can get you right back into the game.

Planeswalker suggestions. Because they are resistant to removal and can add a lot to a game if it goes long. Multiple repeatable abilities are strong. They are expensive, and I would try to trade for them if possible. If interested:

Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury: She makes llanowar elves! And she basically does all the things in Green's pie. Makes lots of elves, destroys artifacts and enchantments at will and draws cards.
Nissa, Who Shakes the World: Not on theme for elves, but she is so strong that I would feel lame not mentioning it for a mono green deck. Her static ramps you crazy style and her ultimate can finish games.
Nissa Revane: Basically, her ultimate would put all 24 of your elves into play in one turn. If you do want to put copies of her in your deck, I would also suggest replacing some other elves with 4 copies of Nissa's Chosen for added value.
Vivien Reid: This is a well-balanced walker for any green deck. Built in card advantage, removal and flyer killing, and then her ultimate is an emblem better than almost any other lord/anthem effect you can put in the deck.
Garruk Wildspeaker: My lowest choice for the list, but he plays early and produces creatures.

Land Suggestions. You may not need them, being mono-green doesnt mean there arent a couple good lands for your deck:

Oran-Rief, the Vastwood: While this is in play, most every creature you cast will get a counter. Basically a free boost for a little tempo loss.
Rogue's Passage: Does what it says, sometimes you only need 1 more hit to win. And it taps for some mana.
Pendelhaven: As long as this is untapped, a shock spell wont kill an elf! Kind of situational but useful.
Treetop Village: A forest that's also a 3/3 creature when you need it.

Again, these are just ideas to get you thinking about ways to improve your deck. The most important thing is to focus on what you want to do with the deck. Then get 4 copies of every card in your deck that makes that happen. Everything else after that should provide support, advantage or acceleration for those main cards.
