For the last few years, I have dove deeply into ramping via lands in commander. I still play an Arcane Signet or two for density's sake, but I've come to appreciate the corner-case complexity of land-ramping without cards designed to do so.
Green gets off easiest, getting a Rampant Growth every once and a while.
White has clearly risen to second best in this field with their Brought Backs and Claim Jumpers, each combining fruitfully with fetchlands and Lotus Field.
However, other colours need to outsource. I've seen discussion around Blue copying fetches with Virtue of Knowledge or simply casting Mitotic Manipulation. Black just got Dai Li Indoctrination. And Red just can't do much.
There's some universal ones: Mirran Safehouse, Surveyor's Scope, Dowsing Dagger Flip, Wayfarer's Bauble, Myriad Landscape, etc....
But what others are out there? I know MTG-Goldfish inspired a lot of these, but it also encouraged me to get creative. So I'm curious what means other people have mustered!

Stumbled upon this bouncy island deck and it seems super fun!
In case you’re looking for upgrades Surveyor's Scope would be great here since you’ll often have less lands than the other players.

Hello! A few quick things:
-
When setting the default piechart to "Type," counting lands, MDFC lands, and cards that transform into a land, it always conveys one more land than is actually in the Commander decklist. However, this is only the case for commander decks. The piecharts for my Modern decks convey the correct number of lands. (If relevant, the default sorting on my Commander decks is "Custom.")
-
Additionally, if the piechart only counted lands and MDFC lands when conveying the number of lands present in a decklist, that would be superb. If it was designed like this specifically, then a toggle would be excellent.
-
The image for Surveyor's Scope is not showing up during the deck playtesting feature. (If relevant, I am using the Commander 2013 printing on my decklists.)
Thank you much!

Zedruu budget
4 years ago
Hi HandsomeCowboy !
This is one of the most qualitative budget Zedruu deck I ever see. Many cards are good, even excellent. I think Shifting Loyalties are really too expensive, and maybe Switcheroo too.
Good budget cards I can recommend you are :
And for 2$ more:
Wild Research is my favorite card, it just allow you to access to 1/3 of your deck So, whatever your deck is just very effective for a budget deck, I am really impressed
Best of luck to you and spray joy with our MotherGoat

Feather, Redeemed and Rebooted
4 years ago
Hiya! Long time Boros player, got a lot of suggestions.
1) Two new cards, Goldspan Dragon and Birgi, God of Storytelling Flip are made for Feather. These cards synergize suuuuper well with what the deck already wants to do. I highly suggest running them.
2) Some of your ramp seems rather strange. It doesn't seem like it would be very consistent, or there are much better options. I would cut Kor Cartographer and Solemn Simulacrum for speed reasons- the deck wants to ramp earlier rather than later since Feather wants to be able to come down and get the deck going earlier rather than later. I would also cut Boreas Charger and Surveyor's Scope as they're also slow, but possibly unreliable/inconsistent. The two new cards from Kaldheim work well as ramp. I would also recommend (if possible) to pick up the medallions as they're going to save you a lot of mana ( Pearl Medallion , Ruby Medallion ). If not plausible in the near future, just find some other cheap mana rock.
3) A few cuts to suggest. First and foremost, cut Lightning Greaves right away. That card will make it so that you can't target your own creatures either, so it is a hard non-bo with your deck. I would also replace any removal in your deck that isn't an instant, that way you can fetch it all with Sunforger (as a side note, Magnetic Theft is great in a Feather deck with Sunforger ). I would personally cut the recursion cards. I understand wanting to get back some of your really good instants and sorceries if they get stuck in the graveyard, but I find Feather to be enough recursion. If you really want to run recursion, I suggest something cheaper (and more powerful) like Underworld Breach .
4) Finally, I would up the land count in the deck. Feather is a VERY mana hungry commander. Thus, you want to be super sure you make your land drop every single turn. 34 lands will make that difficult, even with all your cantrips. 38 is the sweet spot I've found for the typical Feather deck.

Sevinne, the Chronoclasm Acid Flashback

Damn, dongerlord. Thanks for the thourough analysis. You are clearly going very competitive with your list (don't forget Extract!) where I'm trying to build ... an on theme 75%? I don't know what my list is but I like it. It's fun.
Underworld Breach fits under Sun Titan and grants massive utility. In.
Narset of the Ancient Way look at my list again and look at all three abilities. Fits the theme.
Scroll Rack is tech with Land Tax.
I'm a huge fan of Surveyor's Scope but that exile clause... Needs Karn to make it viable.
Narset, Parter of Veils and Alms Collector interesting and brutal. I'm going to chew on this.
The rest of the stuff was for a different style of play and direction of control.

Sevinne, the Chronoclasm Acid Flashback

It seems like you're running burn as your wincon.
Here are some cards that might help.
Static burn: Harsh Mentor, Zo-Zu the Punisher, Ankh of Mishra, Manabarbs
Finishers: Acidic Soil, Price of Progress. Molten Disaster is a decent finisher you can consider with split-second and also acts as a board clear (you might try replacing Devil's Play with this)
Since these are symmetrical burn, you could also run Glacial Chasm and stall it out. This is also the most important land card to run with these mono red sorcery finishers. Your Pariah is also a god level card with this setup. You might also consider Heartless Hidetsugu as a combo with these 2 cards.
For more drastic changes, you can fix around your landbase to cut a lot of nonbasics and add basics with a load of fetchlands, such as Fabled Passage, Prismatic Vista, , Ash Barrens, Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, Myriad Landscape, Warped Landscape, some Panorama fetches, and keeping Flooded Strand + Scalding Tarn + Arid Mesa. I have this landbase in another of my burn decks and its fully sufficient for tri-colour commanders. In white, you get access to Land Tax as well so it helps further fix your mana - although in my experience with this landbase I would say its not even necessary.
With a basic land landbase, it opens you up to more burn, such as Price of Progress, Burning Earth. It also opens you up to hard stax cards if you have a vendetta against someone: Magus of the Moon, Blood Moon, Back to Basics.
An alternative package you can consider with your wheels is Narset, Parter of Veils and Alms Collector to discard their entire hand. You already have Smothering Tithe as well. Psychic Possession is also insane with wheels as it lets you draw 14 off a single wheel.
I would also just add Underworld Breach because its straight up insane.
You can also try Mana Geyser for a super explosive turn by recasting it from the graveyard again.
Dack Fayden is both a ramp card and a way to dump cards into your graveyard.
Good old Blasphemous Act and Chain Reaction are 2 of the best board clears you can pair with Sevinne.
Jace, Vryn's Prodigy
Flip Baby Jace is a VERY good card with Sevinne. Helps cycle into lands/ramp early and lets you cast spells from your graveyard once it transforms into Jace, Telepath Unbound.
Some cards I see that you could also try cutting/changing are:
Land Tax - you can run ramp artifacts instead, such as Surveyor's Scope. Surveyor's Scope is an excellent card with many fetchlands as you can tap them to sac as a cost, then activate Surveyor's Scope for up to 3 basics untapped since your fetchland is no longer on the field. Or basically any other 2 mana rock will do.
Mirage Mirror and Scroll Rack - these cards are a bit clunky to use and you can do more with mana rocks instead.
I would consider Ral, Izzet Viceroy a bit too slow.
You should swap Jeskai Ascendancy for the new Whirlwind of Thought
You have a lot of single target protection - Momentary Blink, Lightning Greaves, Diplomatic Immunity. I would suggest cutting one or two because you can still tutor for it.
Narset of the Ancient Way SEEMS a bit slow (but I have't seen this card in action yet), so you could replace it with Narset, Parter of Veils
Ray of Distortion is pretty omega slow. You might want to try Aura of Silence or a simple Disenchant
Personally I'm trying to build a cEDH Sevinne burn deck haha! Thinking of also trying Thought Lash with Thassa's Oracle
Long live our Overlord Sevinne
