Change Omnath to feature this funny alter

CrazyBooDawg says... #1

@draaien Thanks for the suggestions. I will be sure to swap some things out for these amazing cards. But, what would I take out? I feel like I should swap Creeping Trailblazer with Incandescent Soulstoke .
Omnath, Locus of Mana for Budoka Gardener
Lightning Greaves for Trade Routes ?
Scale Up for Retreat to Coralhelm
But other than that, I have no idea what else to change. Also, what would I remove, and add to get in more lands?

Nice to see this deck updated The easy cards to cut are the mana rocks as long as you add some land ramp like Skyshroud Claim other cards i would remove are the non elemental creatures which are just being big like Emissary of Grudges or the Crash of Rhino Beetles an other card i didn't mention but does this roll a lot better is Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar . it also being an elemental. So maybe remove 5 of the 7 mana rocjs you are running at two or 3/4 more land ramp cards and maybe fill the rest with some commander protection like the greaves or maybe a Temur Sabertooth . or some more lands like Myriad Landscape . The trick in building this deck is trying to find cards which fill 2 rolls at ones like the landscape or the Fertilid you now added. Instead of the Acidic Slime you can run Ingot Chewer which is slighlty more on flavour or maybe even both.

Other cards to cut in my opinion: Grapple with the Past you should be drawing like crazy and if you want graveyeard recursion there are better options. Rabid Bite you are in red so better removal is plentyfull. Undying Rage i don't really like enchantments in general and you are not trying to punch fast i think at least. Scute Mob very meta depended in my meta there is a stupid amount of removal so explosiveness and recursion are very important if you don't encounter much removal this could be great.

Hope it helps this was a bit less structured than i like to be so sorry.

draaien Its fine. This is actually my first EDH deck, so I'm always trying to learn how to make it better. I can definitely see why you suggested certain changes. Most of the non-elemental creatures were fillers to beef up the deck a bit. I feel like there should be a replacement for Budoka Gardener or at least another creature that does similar things. It does create elementals which is always good, but I feel that the odds of getting the combo before it would flip is somewhat unlikely.

you are very correct there are several other options you can use. Llanowar Scout / Walking Atlas / Sakura-Tribe Scout . The way i make sure that i can always get the combo of (if i want to) is by adding enough effects to bounce/sacrafice lands like Zuran Orb Meloku the Clouded Mirror or Trade Routes . Everytime i look at this deck i remember a card that would fit in snuggly and this time it is Roil Elemental besides that i think Nissa, Vital Force is great as it only needs to tick up once to get the ultimate.

It is great to see more Omnath, Locus of the Roil decks popping up! It looks like your deck list is mainly focused on the Tribal play-style, will a small splash of Landfall. It seems like the other couple ways I have seen this commander go is abusing ETBs and also doing some classical land recurring stuff. I for one already have an Omnath, Locus of Rage deck and a Lord Windgrace so I decided to leave the landfall stuff in the background and focus more on the ETB effects and Tribal.

Have you looked at Flamekin Harbinger , Mulldrifter , or Slithermuse ? All great Elementals! Please fill free to checkout my deck!
