Deck Idea

This is a green creatures Timmy Deck, made from spare green rares I had leftover from other decks that are too good to not use. I wanted to avoid making a Primal Surge deck with this in order to keep it more bracket 2.

Making use of Eladamri

Eladamri is card advantage in the commander zone, and is to be treated as a Plan B once our cards in hand are low, or we have an abundance of mana. To get best use out of the commander, there are only 36 lands, made up mostly of basicforests, some utility lands, and three creature-side MDFCs. This increases the chance we have a creature on top to play with Eladamri.

Also, the deck contains a limited number of non-creature spells. These ones are worth playing, as most of them are worth waiting to draw next turn to be able to recover a full hand.

Eladamri's Wives

What's better than just being able to play spells from the top? Also being able to play lands from the top! Augur of Autumn, Courser of Kruphix and Oracle of Mul Daya make our commander's card advantage even more potent, making lands less likely to block the topdeck, Oracle unblocking us past up to two lands.

Ramp

15 creatures serve as mana ramp, enabling more mana sources to be played from the topdeck. Some of which generates mana above curve by restricting it to needing a boardstate in play such as Fanatic of Rhonas and Karametra's Acolyte, which is unlikely to not be the case. Some also restricts the mana to creature spells such as Somberwald Sage and Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea, which will also unlikely be an issue.

Interaction

Most of green's creatures with removal stapled on only hits artifacts and enchantments. But this deck is making the most of this by running a good amount of mana efficient ones, since it's unlikely to never be bad.

Wincons

Being able to flip multiple creatures off the top makes Ibex Pathbreaker the deck's fairer Craterhoof wincon, giving the deck a definitive way to win without being an out-of-nowhere game ender, and Overwhelming Stampede with the same effect on a sorcery. Tyvar, the Pummeler is our backup, being able to quadruple the power onboard with just 10 mana.
