Your deck is looking pretty good. However, I find it lacking in Artifact/Enchantment hate.

You may want to consider Pest Infestation. With how quickly you'll be emptying out your library it's not outside the realm of possibility you can draw this soon enough to be relevant. It doesn't create you big creatures, but the number of pests it will produce(especially with the help of Paralell Lives) could have a staggering effect.

Another to consider would be Broken Bond, as it fits into additional land plays.

Speaking of addional land plays have you considered Walking Atlas?

Another weakness to your deck is Angel of Jubilation. While I find it unlikely you'll have to face it in the near future, it may be an idea to add something like Ram Through to directly kill it or use something like Primal Bellow(which you can then target your Commander with) to force it to block.

Also, have you considered Fertile Thicket, Khalni Garden and Llanowar Reborn? The former two would have a least some benefit from extra land triggers, the third for consistent buffing of an important creature and they'd be a much easier option to sacrifice since they come into the battlefield tapped. This would also give you more fuel for Field of the Dead if you wish to reconsider it at a later date.

That's all I got for ya. Thank you for reading me out. I hope it helps. Happy Hunting!

Drestlin on Hexproof ramp n pump

I've found that having that +3 +4 +5 from Primal Bellow and Blanchwood Armor sinergizes nicely with Dungrove Elder; they are also a nice pump to have against -something/-something in case i don't happen to have a vines to keep a Talara's Battalion down Harrow is also another way to put down Talara's Battalion on turn 3. Always loved the fact that you put lands untapped. Tried to use Cultivate but it's definitely not the same - lmk what i could change it for!

Fog has been a recent addition that i actually have not tested yet (but wanted to post the latest "version" of the deck here), so i could ditch it. i was running 3x Sylvan Caryatid but found them kinda useless both as defense and/or for mana.

Basically, i have run 3x Sylvan Caryatid instead of 3x Silhana Ledgewalker and 1 extra of Rancor Vines of Vastwood and Primal Bellow instead of the 3x Fog. Also a single Fertile Ground for an Abundant Harvest but i feel like the second ones are more useful and flexible. Found that often i have extra Rancor in my hand and that feels meh but agreen Fog might be on the useless side.

What would you change those cards for instead?

Some thoughts:

• Your land-count is way too low to make Primal Bellow or Blanchwood Armor any good, i’d suggest sticking to more conventional/reliable pump.

• Harrow is also useless as by the time you can cast it, you’ve already reached the top of your mana curve. So it only serves to slightly help those 2 bad spells mentioned above. Imo ditch it.

• Despite the above comments, your actual land count is waay too low for the number of 3-drops you’re running. I’d expect at-minimum 20 lands, possibly 22. I’d also say you should drop some of your 3cmc cards for more 1-2cmc options.

• Fog seems pointless here when you’re aiming to be the aggressor. I’d suggest playing cards that help maintain your presence as the attacking player, as opposed to assuming you’ll be stuck on defence.

I do like Nissa, Worldwaker , as well as Nissa, Who Shakes the World , but every time i run them in this deck they feel... unnecessary? I don’t know. Definitely strong, but I always end up cutting them.

Primal Bellow is cool, but not sure what i would replace for it. I generally only run repeatable or game ending effects that will outright double an already huge creatures power.

Thanks so much OatmealBear and LilMissWiz for checking it out, and for the suggestions!

Really fun approach and I’m loving all the non-combat tricks! Another tool for your power matters shenanigans might be Primal Bellow ?

You seem to have a lot of token generators, which don't work with Ashaya's ability, just fyi. Cards I like for this commander are ones like Blanchwood Armor, Primal Bellow, Blackblade Reforged and Strata Scythe (strata scythe even works with enemy lands!) Timbermaw Larva is another cheap creature that likes forests. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Can't believe I missed Shinen of Life's Roar! That looks perfect for the deck. Aspect of Hydra has juicy potential which I'll keep in mind while testing, but due to the relatively high amount of artifacts included it might not be that great. Maybe I'm comparing it a little too harshly to Primal Bellow, which is just a ridiculous card. Horned Helm looks quite decent, and instant-speed equip sounds interesting, but it might be a bit of a tough fit since I think I have enough Trample-giving stuff. Overall, thanks for the suggestions! I'll try to slot them in after more testing.

lets see here, I would recommend:

• Stonewood Invocation - split second + shroud is a good means of protection

• Primal Bellow - mono-green boost based on forests controlled

• Lost in the Woods - mono-green "pillow fort" effect

• Arena - because you can swing with your general, then have him fight before blockers are declared to psudo-trample over a single blocker.

• Colossification. it's not good, I fully admit, but it fits the theme and is just funny.
