Damia, Sage of Stone landfall commander. Sure, there might be powerful options for sultai out there like Muldrotha, the Gravetide goodstuffs or Tasigur, the Golden Fang combo decks. However, I believe this deck is a fun alternative, allowing us to generate tons of mana, draw through a lot of our deck and be able to win in a multitude of ways.

A quick rundown of the deck..

1. Land..

As you may have noticed, this deck is approximately 50% lands which is a bit higher than usual. It may seem strange but in this build I almost never mana flooded and instead we are able to drop almost all of our lands out of our hand due to cards like Burgeoning, oracle of mul data and Azusa, Lost but Seeking. Once we have plopped down a good amount of mana on the field, its best to bring out our commander to draw us a fresh new hand with all sorts of goodies.

At this stage it's good to make sure we can protect Damia, Sage of Stone before bringing her out, seven mana is quite an investment! In order to protect her I've included cards like Crystal Shard, Erratic Portal, Sylvan Safekeeper and Tawnos's Coffin. Lands like Alchemist's Refuge and Winding Canyons are also very useful in this situation since they allow us to cast our commander at instant speed.

If we do lose her, we can still get a good amount of draw in the meantime using cards like The Gitrog Monster, Tireless Tracker and Tatyova, Benthic Druid.

2. Fall

Once we have started to build up our engine, it's time to start getting landfall triggers out! Bloodghast + Skullclamp is a classic landfall draw engine and can sometimes draw us 6 or more cards on our turn! Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths and Ob Nixilis, the Fallen quickly become lethal if not taken care of quickly. Luckily for us, even if an opponent sends them to the graveyard, sultai gives us a variety of recursion options to choose from. For this deck, some of my favorites are Journey to Eternity   and Volrath's Stronghold due to being in-theme.

One last thing that I really love about this deck is using World Shaper or Splendid Reclamation in conjunction with any one-sided mass land removal (Scapeshift, Squandered Resources, etc.) in order to generate tons of mana and get tons of landfall triggers, usually closing out the game.
