As I mentioned before the deck looks pretty good as it sits. Being it’s a lands deck and having a commander that lets you play lands from the yard I do think you need to be running at least a few more extra lands per turn cards. Just gonna list the possible adds to test out. Not suggesting to use them all…unless you really want to. I run them all in every landstorm deck I build.

Some recursion ideas that are also good lands matter cards are:

Could possibly use some more sac outlets for your lands:

Possible landfall additions that could benefit the deck:

Doubling landfall triggers:

These are all cards that could add to and enhance your game plan. Pick and choose as you see fit :)

I also only suggested Spitting Spider as a means to reset your lands whilst also removing flyers. Because you can sac them at instant speed you could board wipe at any point and still have creatures to block with for the next opponent. I guess it is conditional on the combo being out.

Thanks for the comment, SmirkyDog593. =)

For Mortarpod to work, it seems we'd need to also add haste. In order to equip it to a land, it would have to be a creature, in order to sacrifice it, it needs to be a creature, and in order for our commander to bring it back, the land has to be a creature. So, if we have a continuous effect that turns our lands into creatures to do all that, then come back into play with summoning sickness. Thus, we are unable to tap the new lands for mana to continue to equip Mortarpod and going near-infinite enough to kill everybody. Unless, of course, we initiate an infinite mana effect prior to do doing so, so there's a lot more moving pieces to get that concept working. Unless I'm wrong, lol.

Spitting Spider honestly doesn't excite me for the cost, and it absolutely requires our basic commander/enchantment combo in play in order for it to work. That's not necessarily bad, but if I were that concerned about flyers I'd rather the removal not be as conditional. I think I'd prefer a good old fashioned Hurricane or maybe Arashi, the Sky Asunder that's the same cost as the spider. Silklash Spider is pretty efficient, too.

I do like your suggestion of Perilous Forays, thank you!

I also like Nemata, Grove Guardian, but the cost is high. I know we can get a ton of mana, but it's at the expense of maybe not doing something else. I'll have to think on it, but I like it!

Evolutionary Leap is pretty great, yeah! Thanks!

Altar of Dementia was already in the Maybe pile, so I agree. ;)

I cannot express how much I LOVE this concept. As soon as I played the first test and got the infinite combo I was estatic about it. I do have some suggestions.

Mortarpod would be good if you had a way to sack one of the two lands tapped to equip it. Insta kill all players. Sustenance is another Insta kill method as well.

Spitting Spider is a good flying removal creature Perilous Forays will let you draw out every forest in your deck.

Nemata, Grove Guardian creates saporlings and works in conjunction with the treefolks and Life and Limb cards.

Evolutionary Leap lets you get all your creature cards out if you wanted.

I would also suggest you put in Altar of Dementia as another way to win.

If it were me, I would take out the Ulvenwald Hydra. If it had trample then it might’ve deserved a spot but all it takes is a chump blocker to stop him. If you’re wanting a way to take out flyers then check out this card: Spitting Spider. This will take out most flyers by sacking 5-6 lands, which you can get back from the yard anyways.

Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Zuran Orb, Exploration, Rites of Flourishing, Burgeoning, Spitting Spider, Creeping Renaissance. All of these would help with what you are going for in this deck.

Honor_BasquiatWell you have a few options. More hate could always be used IE: Broken Bond Reclamation Sage or you could run some big beefy beaters like Rampaging Baloths Kamahl, Fist of Krosa or Thunderfoot Baloth or you could run more land recursion like say Tilling Treefolk or Cartographer or more land sack outlets like Spitting Spider or Squirrel Wrangler I hope this helps! Thank you for loving my primer! This deck is kind of my baby I've been working on it for 2 years now!
