Vigor

Creature — Elemental Incarnation

Trample

If damage would be dealt to another creature you control, prevent that damage. Put a +1/+1 counter on that creature for each 1 damage prevented this way.

When Vigor is put into a graveyard from anywhere, shuffle it into its owner's library.

Aosana on Worldwake (Omnath Elemental Tribal)

Vigor may be a good choice for your sideboard! It fits the tribal Elemental theme while simultaneously helping you against mill strategies if you ever encounter them. It also pairs well with your Animar, Soul of Elements. Similarly, Bojuka Bog and/or Ground Seal could be nice sideboard options in preparation for decks that use their graveyards often. Your Endurance already fulfills both of those niche options, though, but it never hurts to have more preparations!

Some ideas:

• Dense Foliage: a hug option. If you aim for everyone's monsters (including) yours to die in glorious combat, it wouldn't do if someone could off them with spells.
• Dictate of Karametra: more hug. Everyone has plenty of mana to cast their big creatures.
• Fecundity: aaaaand more hug. Ensures that the death of any creature results in more opportunities to cast other big creatures.
• Heartbeat of Spring: more mana for everyone!
• Ghalta, Primal Hunger: seems to make sense in a green BC-deck.
• Soul of the Harvest: such great draw in a deck featuring this many creatures. And a nice beat-stick to boot.
• Vigor: opposing creatures can't hurt your creatures anymore; they can only strengthen them!
• Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus: ensures the strength/toughness of your BC's beat those of the opponents' BC's.

Have fun with the brew!

Grothama, All-Devouring would seem like a fun addition in here; especially with Vigor on the field.

Abzan Falconer or a couple of the other Outlast cards. Maybe Kalonian Hydra

Since you have to attack to activate the second ability you could use something that lets you attack with impunity. Bedlam, Vigor, Iroas, God of Victory, Master Warcraft, Cosmotronic Wave etc.

Helnas on Omnath locus of mana (opinions needed)

Instead of the mana doublers, i would add something like Bear Umbra, untaps your land if you swing with your commander, plus totem armor. Get some protection aswell, Lightning Greaves Yeva, Nature's Herald (just cast commander straight back when he gets destroyed, keep it in your hand). maybe a few spells like Tamiyo's Safekeeping, Tyvar's Stand, Gaea's Gift, Momentous Fall, Shared Summons, Wrap in Vigor some other creatures i didnt think of before: Oracle of Mul Daya, Silverback Elder, Apex Devastator, Cultivator Colossus, Ghalta, Primal Hunger, Cankerbloom, Topiary Stomper, Regal Force

For cutting cards, i would just cut cards that arent creatures or synergize with creatures, or dont do alot most of the time. something like Exponential Growth is gonna be a dead card in your hand most of the times.

Also dont understand most artifacts in your deck. Diviner's Wand for example, 3 mana to cast, 3 to equip, 4 to draw 1 card, 10 mana to draw your first card, and 4 mana for each card after that doesnt seem worth it at all. Id also cut 1x Mirage Mirror, Staff of Compleation, Helm of the Host, Lithoform Engine, Book of Rass

Id also cut: Vigor, Ironscale Hydra, Seeker of Skybreak, Viridian Joiner, Nantuko Mentor

And i would add 4-5 lands. playing a land per turn is stronger then playing an arcane signet or sol ring and then miss a land drop. (id cut arcane signet and sol ring aswell, they are bad draws past t4)

NV_1980, Yes, I've already thought about Vigor and Archetype of Endurance and they're also in my Maybevoard for testing. Maybe swap it out for a Carnage Tyrant and see. Apex Devastator didn't really appeal to me to play it in the deck.

Apex Devastator can be an absolute hero in a deck featuring this many powerful cards. Archetype of Endurance and Vigor also seem like excellent additions to protect your stuff.

Some ideas:

• Second Harvest: instantly double your tokens and with Ezuri around, greatly increase your XP at the same time.
• Rite of Replication: insanely good when kicked and completely bonkers when cast on creatures like Avenger of Zendikar, Kalonian Hydra and Mycoloth.
.
• Vigor: make your creatures not just immune to combat damage, but actually lets them benefit from it.
• Herald of Secret Streams: already in your maybeboard; I'd really consider mainboarding it, he's just too good to pass on.
• Spike Weaver: acts as a permanent Fog during opponents' combat phases.

Have fun with the brew!
