Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth

Legendary Land

Each land is a Forest in addition to its other land types.

Some more detail behind the answer: When an effect mentions a permanent type or subtype ("creature", "land", "elf", "equipment" etc.) without specifically saying something like "card in [a zone]" then it only means permanents of that type on the battlefield. In order for Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth to affect land cards in other zones, it would have to be written in a similar way to what Conspiracy says for creatures.

No, land cards in the library are not modified. From Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth's Gatherer page:

6/18/2021 Land cards not on the battlefield aren't Forests while Yavimaya is on the battlefield.

If Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth is on the table, does this effect include the lands in my library (specifically during a card search)?

fuster +1 It's hard to provide meaningful suggestions to a deck so tuned but I'll do my best.

Yavimaya Hollow - Protection

Maybe Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Or do you not need colorfixing/helping opponents?

Castle Garenbrig - Ramp, or is it considered a tap land?

Castle Vantress - Scry, or is it considered a tap land?

Deserted Temple - Untap cradle

Swap half your basic for snow-covered to more easily trigger field of the dead

Maybe Abundance - Synergy with sylvan library and a decent filter.

Snapcaster Mage - Recursion

Maybe Splendid Reclamation - Although you might not have enough land saccing to justify it's cost/too narrow. Works well with scapeshift and all your fetchlands.

Finale of Devastation - Tutor/alt wincon, especially with avenger and cradle.

Horn of Greed - Or is it too symmetrical?

Tireless Tracker - Or is it too slow/not needed given you draw enough?

Courser of Kruphix > Dryad of the Ilysian Grove ? - Can you explain your thought process behind Dryad > Courser? On the one hand, dryad doesn't reveal your draws, provides an additional land drop and is slightly easier to cast. I don't see any significant benefit to it's other ability. On the other hand, Courser gains you additional life (while not needed), is harder to cast but allows you to cast from the top of your library. It does reveal your cards so perhaps that's the reason? I just assume when I'm against the blue player they always have a counterspell. Been thinking of swapping out Dryad for Courser in my azusa list.

My recommendation is to cut The number of colors to 2. Green and Black should be the way to go. If you must have a third, then I'd recommend White or Blue so you can play either Ghave or Xavier Zap, respectively. Even then I wouldn't run more spells of white or blue.

Either way, a Fungus/Saproling deck should be creature intensive, so I wouldn't recommend adding more instants or sorceries except for Tear Asunder-- mainly as an option for dealing with Indestructible permanents.

Once that is taken care of your next step is to decide what kind of deck to build. You'll want to build around either Mycoloth, Slimefoot the Stowaway or The Mycotyrant. Fungus and Saproling creatures should have death triggers or activated abilities with more controlling aspects like Cankerbloom.

If you insist on having Spore counters then have Thelon, but only put in any combination of Utopian Mycon, Thorn Thallid, Spore Flower, Psychotrope Thallid and Deathspore Thallid. Otherwise Thelon should only exist in your deck to pump up your creatures. If you choose to go this path I'd recommend The Ozolith so you don't lose the spore counters. In which case I'd recommend adding Heroic Intervention.

As for Lands I would highly recommend Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth. Adding any combination of Evolving Wilds, Fabled Passage, and Terramorphic Expanse should only happen if you are playing Sporemound. Bojuka Bog is highly recommended.

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Thanks Profet93. Settling on 3x Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth was a tough call, but a necessary one it seemed. If you happen to draw into one early, then the redundancy does hit kinda hard. But relying solely on Primeval Titan’s ability to grab it isn’t wise, and it can’t be located with any fetchlands while still in the library either, so drawing into it is something you need to plan around.

A full playset was too many, while dropping down to 2x makes me a little too nervous. 3x was the Goldilocks number: juuuuuuust right

Living Plane/Nature's Revolt - For shits, giggles and much more.

I agree with ThyNemesis regarding Splendid Reclamation. Even if you don't sac your lands until you want to win, it can recur your fetchlands to help you ramp. Or you think you might win and this is a good backup to get back lands incase shit hits the fan.

Conduit of Worlds - Recursion

Collector Ouphe - Artifact hate

Lands to consider....

Mirrorpool - Not necessary but fun!

Cryptic Caves - Draw. Goes well with oracle of mul daya

Castle Garenbrig - Ramp

Field of the Dead - With all your lands and fetches, this should be very easy to trigger. Token army of the dead!

Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Not necessary but works well with dark depths, ancient tomb and cradle.
