Child of Alara and 99 lands [Still WIP]

Inspired by and based on The Commander's Quarters "99 Land Commander Deck" but with less restrictions on budget. Strategies:

  • Keep the opponents' boards clean with Child of Alara utilising sacrifice outlets
  • Use defensive cards to stay floating until you get to start rotating Child of Alara
  • Use lands that turn into creatures to attack and defend
  • Boost child of Alara and creature lands (note: counters stay on creature lands even when they turn back to lands)
  • Dark Depths + Thespian's Stage combo
  • Use copy effects to sacrifice Child of Alara, to copy gates or trigger Dark Depths
  • Gates as an alternate win condition
  • Inkmoth Nexus as a potential slow win condition
  • Child of Alara Commander damage as a potential win condition

I accepted some double-sided cards to this deck where I felt that a huge part of the focus was on the land. I did not accept the Zendikar Rising double sided cards because there the land is a secondary thing for mana fixing and the spell is the main focus.

This is not a very powerful deck and can be made significantly more powerful by non-land cards that e.g. allow you to place more lands per turn. There's also game winning combos like Cultivator Colossus that would allow you to essentially place all the lands from your deck into play.
