@mylene800 - i get what you're saying, and I do, sometimes.. my problem is, i currently don't have in mind what card to replace 1-2 lands with.. but thanks for noticing, I'll just keep on playing this deck until i feel that a couple of cards can be replaced with lands. Thanks!

@megantrongriffin13 - hmm.. that's interesting.. it does have a more significant effect on mana fixing than gaining that 1 life.. but based on the number of color percentage, i might only include Golgari Guildgate and Selesnya Guildgate .. Thanks for the advice!

you can replace Explosive Vegetation with Circuitous Route , and replace Blossoming Sands and Jungle Hollow for guild gates that can be more effective to ramp with the aforementioned Circuitous Route . for this 3-color deck, Golgari Guildgate , Selesnya Guildgate and Orzhov Guildgate .

Hey, Eladamri's Call is one of the best creature tutors in Commander and it's budget. It could replace Gaea's Touch . Command Tower is one of the best lands for multicolored decks. It could replace Selesnya Guildgate or comparable price Sungrass Prairie . King of the Pride is a Cat lord and it could replace Cleansing Ray .

Beast Within is a versatile instant removal spell. It could replace Consign to Dust . Metallic Mimic could be cut to clear $7+ to help the manabase. Sunpetal Grove , Ash Barrens , Naya Panorama , Fortified Village , Scattered Groves , Rogue's Passage . Mimic isn't worth $7 unless you're comboing with it which you're not doing here. Good luck with your deck.

• Desert of the Fervent
• Desert of the True
• Drifting Meadow
• Forgotten Cave
• Secluded Steppe
• Smoldering Crater

---

• Gruul Guildgate
• Rugged Highlands
• Timber Gorge
• Gruul Turf
• Blossoming Sands
• Selesnya Guildgate
• Selesnya Sanctuary
• Tranquil Expanse

I'm not saying add them all but add a few of them. I know speed is probably of very much importance to the build so no need to add all of these. But I think adding like 4 or 5 duels and 4 or more cycling lands

BMHKain on One Day until Throne of ...

As Throne of Eldraine Spoilers are flowing like a Fairy Tale Epic, I'll try to explain my reasons for things not mentioned for Allied Colors here yet. Before I do, Delay looks great, but how does Suspend work, & how good is it against opponents? I also suppose all ten Ravnica Signets & Talismans are better than Arcane Signet ? I'm intrigued about this; it seems like:

1. Talismans
2. Ravnican Signets
3. Arcane Signet

Is this where the rankings stand for Overall Power for these Mana Rocks? Just checking to be sure.

Finally, I still am guessing there's no substitute for Demonic Tutor unless anyone can say different. For now, though, It's a lost cause. Anyways, the list:

Arctic Flats Snow Taplands

Elfhame Palace / Tranquil Expanse Generic Tap Duals

Gavony Township Innistrad Location Duals

Grasslands Tap Fetches

Horizon Canopy Future-Sighted/Horizon Duals (Missing 4 other allied cards.)

Riftstone Portal Graveyard Duals (Or something...)

Saltcrusted Steppe Storage Duals

Sungrass Prairie The Crappy Fetchlands

Tranquil Garden / Vec Townships Slow Tap Lands

Veldt Duals Utilizing Depletion Counters

Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree Ravnica Location Duals

Anything else as Dual Lands you may already be familiar w/. I just wanted to mention the worst Allied-Only, Nearly awful Allied-Only, & nothing else. Since I'm reduced to a situation where nearly all my cards in my Landbase need to not ETB Tapped, I want your opinions on the worst of the worst. & I'd like your opinions for the ones that didn't get noted that ETB Tapped, but is still good; which bumps off, for instance:

Blossoming Sands / Graypelt Refuge Lifegain Lands

Stirring Wildwood Man Lands

Temple of Plenty Scry Lands

Selesnya Guildgate Guild Lands

If I'm missing out on anything, either:

A: It's a more common Two Color Land than these types.

B: So many use them, there is no point in mentioning them here.

C: Other...

Sorry for the inconvenience for all these kinds of lands. I just want to see as too which ones are worth adding... Thanks in advance.

SideBae on My (probably) sad attempt at something strong

7 months ago

So this is not a bad first draft at all -- having the dorks, like Llanowar Elves and Avacyn's Pilgrim , is a big deal. I have a few suggestions:

• Include Natural Order : Grabbing Craterhoof Behemoth for is great. Spamming a bunch of dorks and then hoofing can win you the game real fast.

• I don't think Path to Exile is very good. In EDH, everyone is trying to do busted stuff with a lot of mana, and Path to Exile actively ramps your opponents. This is actively dangerous.

• Consider Utopia Sprawl or Wild Growth as potential one-mana ramp, in addition to your dorks. Also, with your Arbor Elf they can make much more than one mana.

• Dryad Arbor : This land feels bad when you have it in your opener, but you can get it off Green Sun's Zenith for X = 0. This is a pretty good turn one play, especially with a flipped Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip.

• Collector Ouphe : Love the Stony Silence you have in there. This is a meta-call, but having a second Null Rod effect may be worth the card-slot.

• Triumph of the Hordes : This card can serve as a secondary win-con if Craterhoof Behemoth doesn't work out.

• Thalia, Guardian of Thraben : Hatebears are the best way to win in GW, outside combo. Running something like Thalia lets you slow down your opponents; with the mana-advantage from your dorks/general, you're likely to be able to play through it better than your opponents.

• Thorn of Amethyst , Root Maze , Aven Mindcensor , Vryn Wingmare , Kataki, War's Wage , Linvala, Keeper of Silence , Eidolon of Rhetoric : More hatebears.

• Fetches: These are better than Selesnya Guildgate , mainly because they allow you to double-trigger your landfall guys, like Rampaging Baloths and they enable duals, like your Temple Garden or (if you have access to it) Savannah . I like that you're running Windswept Heath ; consider off-colors, like Flooded Strand or Misty Rainforest . If these are too difficult to get ahold of, slow-fetches like Grasslands and Flood Plain are also good. Prismatic Vista , too.

• Slate of Ancestry : If you choose to limit your global artifact hate to just Stony Silence , this thing is a draw engine.

• Nature's Revolt / Living Lands : Living Lands is better (as it's four mana), but Nature's Revolt is $200 cheaper... Paired with Linvala, Keeper of Silence , these two produce a hard lock on your opponents. Additionally, paired with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , this effect produces instant fun.

• Selfless Spirit : This is a good way to avoid a boardwipe wiping you out of the game.

• Knight of Autumn : This is a strictly better Reclamation Sage in GW, though you may want to consider running them both.

• Cataclysm : This is a boardwipe like no other. I suggest running it in any white deck, as it deals with a clogged board real fast. Note that it makes everyone sac all their planeswalkers, as that card-type was not instituted when Cataclysm was printed.

• Mentor of the Meek / Sylvan Library : Card-draw is at a premium in EDH. These help.

• Grim Flowering / Nature's Resurgence : These can help rescue you after a boardwipe, and may be valuable late-game plays even without having ALL your creatures in the yard.

Good luck!

hullos and kamarupa, I love the suggestions.

This is the first deck I ever built dating back to the 2015 prerelease. It's evolved a ton since then, clearly, with all the cards from later sets in it. That's kinda why the cards are so seemingly random. I haven't purchased cards for this deck yet. Everything I have was either pulled or traded for.

There's currently 69 cards because to be honest, I really struggle with deciding what to remove to meet 60 cards. I feel like they are all pretty good and serve a distinct purpose in the deck.

I definitely want those lands. I don't really like Fertile Thicket either. Probably remove the Selesnya Guildgate s because they're too slow too, huh? I like Oran-Rief, the Vastwood , Sunpetal Grove , and Temple of Plenty . I love the combo of Canopy Vista + Windswept Heath , but that seems like a lot of money for land, although I might justify it if I could see it's worth. What are the most important things I'm looking for when choosing land?

The Wanderer , Suspension Field , Wanderer's Strike , Hunt the Weak , and Prison Realm all help with protecting from creatures that I otherwise wouldn't be able to deal with, and Dragonscale Boon and Stony Strength surprise my opponent when they're attacking or try to mess with tapped creatures. What I really need are a couple cards that exile permanents rather than creatures, though. I have a couple of Generous Gift s in another deck that I could pull out and put into here.

I could see cutting The Wanderer , Retreat to Kazandu , New Horizons , and a lot of the kind of piddly creatures that are just there to get beefed or beef others.

If I cut The Wanderer , all instants, sorceries, and enchantments and dropped down to 24 creatures, I could have space for 8 cards if I kept 23 lands. What do you think the best would be the best 8 cards to have? Right now I'm thinking: 2x Generous Gift , Bow of Nylea , Nissa, Voice of Zendikar , 2x Blessed Alliance , Oblivion Ring , maybe Hardened Scales (how bad is it really if you play it first turn, considering all I would have to play other than that would be a hexdrinker, and it benefits massively from it if I can beef him before he gets protection from everything?) or Harvest Season ? (but that wouldn't that only be good with some landfall stuff or Vinelasher Kudzu , like you had said?)

Would that provide me with enough board removal to be consistently successful?

Looks like fun! I assume you're operating on a budget?

Consider some cheap dual lands like Blossoming Sands or Selesnya Guildgate to help make sure you have the colors you need when you need them. A step up from those without spending too much money would be Sunpetal Grove , Canopy Vista , and/or Fortified Village . If you wanted to go nuts you could look at Windswept Heath , Temple Garden , and Cavern of Souls .

Maybe look into Blossoming Defense or Heroic Intervention to replace Woodcutter's Grit , Strength of Arms , and/or Cloudshift .

The front side of Mayor of Avabruck  ^Flip buffs your dudes, and the back side provides you with more bodies when you need them. Champion of the Parish is of course nuts in a deck like this, but it is a little expensive.

There's plenty of other changes you could make to make the deck stronger, but that's where I would start. Whatever you decide to do, good luck and have fun!
