glhfJKiHax It's funny you bring up Bident of Thassa because I've been kind of one the fence with keeping it, only because I haven't really had an opportunity to use it in the way I want to. On paper it's fantastic for this deck in both card draw and forcing combat for creature removal, but most of the time when I've drawn it, I've got so many other options in my hand that I would rather get on the field because my board state has gone in a different direction. I'm gonna keep using it because it just makes too much sense but if it continues to be a dead card in my hand, I may replace it with another counterspell option to protect against board wipes.

Teferi's Ageless Insight is bonkers. Total bonkers. Even the four casting cost is meaningless when you can drop it, then drop your two lands and get 4 cards. Hell, often I have other value engines like Tatyova, Benthic Druid on the field and I'm drawing like crazy.

Tatyova, Benthic Druid is better than Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait in a more competitive game since 5CMC is better than 6, but Aesi is better in casual

Either way, Narset, Enlightened Master and Grand Arbiter Augustin IV are more salty commander so ask your pod how they feel about them, people are usually don't mind you build your giantic army but really hate when you mass, even a little, with their things, (I learned that from playing Frozen Aether)

dfbenjI suggest Tatyova, Benthic Druid, easy to build, I just don't know how you feel about Retreat to Coralhelm + Skyshroud Ranger (and similar cards) combo, you still can with cards like Avenger of Zendikar

enpc: I mean like, for example, when I first saw this list I'm surprised that Omnath, Locus of the Roil is a tier 3 commander because, for my experience, my Omnath deck (focus on elemental and landfall) is no way near tier-3, it's there because Omnath combo with food chain. So decks not goes that direction usually lose to other tier-5 and tier-6 commander

I plan on winning by using Crucible of Worlds, Azusa, Lost but Seeking and my fetch lands to mill my opponent(s) multiple times per turn with my crabs, using Ancient Greenwarden to double those triggers, and keeping my life total up and drawing cards with Tatyova, Benthic Druid.

Honestly I feel like Crucible of Worlds and Buried Ruin is a largely pointless addition - it’s too niche in this list to provide reasonable value.

That Crucible slot would be far better used, imo, running additional Scapeshifts.

Additional thoughts:

• Both Tatyova, Benthic Druid and Yarok, the Desecrated seem kinda useless for their mana costs. It feels like in both cases you’d just be better off running Primeval Titan.

• I think your biggest issue with this deck will be keeping the crabs alive. I know from playing traditional mill, they get targeted hard. And in your case, theres no real plan-B. I think you need more ways to acquire crabs from the deck, or resurrect crabs en-mass from the grave.

The_Revenant_Wyvern thanks for your comment! Yeah this deck definitely has that metal vibe, when smashing someone's face with 21+ commander damage in one hit! and it wins surprisingly often too - I even had a game the other night against Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Orvar, the All-Form and Prosper, Tome-Bound in which Volrath the Fallen proceeded to knock everyone out (with a bit of luck from the EDH gods of course!) single-handedly! Was so epic!

Thank you very much, my Omnath, Locus of the Roil deck have trouble to hit eight land, it's easier for Tatyova, Benthic Druid or Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait to start crazy card draw but not that easy for Omnath since it not easy to hit eight land, also it there any good blink in Elemental? I usually just ignore first effect when build around my deck

Only time I win is I successfully hit Nissa, Vital Force -6 ability

Love this! hurts my wallet a bit but it's going to get the job done! Curious about Tatyova, Benthic Druid would you play this in a budget deck if you had one on hand, but not as much extra land presence/landfall type of a deck? Sweeeeeeet Imoti-on for reference. Also as a previous comment said, Krosan Drover is a beauty of a card here. -Best regards, The_boltspeedman
