Coreset 2021 and Jumpstart —July 1, 2020

Decided on just 2 changes for the time being, only 1 of which is a new card.

Dropped:

  • Boseiju, Who Shelters All - it's been useful for a long time, but with jumpstart, it is easily replaced.
  • Wood Elves - love this card, and I'm going to keep it to the side in case I decide I want it back in. But 3 mana to get 1 forest has proven to be too slow most games. Especially since I dropped a land, I decided n a more efficient means of ramp.

Added:

  • Allosaurus Shepherd - this new green staple is insane, especially at a cmc of 1.
  • Fyndhorn Elves - decided to finish out the trio of 1 cmc mana dorks to help speed up my early game.

I don't think Kogla, the Titan Ape is that great. I don't see the benefit you described in your update. The fighting is nice for creature removal and the artifact/enchantment destruction for 6 mana on attack is weak.

Field of the Dead and Blast Zone, not sure if I already recomended them previously. Field gives you a greater token army for kamal overun + cradle. Blast zone provides additional interaction, potential to hit creatures as well.

You are probably right about kogla, but it's a card I'm excited for (was really hoping for a King Kong secret lair art) and I at least want to test him out.

You had mentioned blast zone before and I just spaced on picking a copy up. I still plan to test it out. Field of the dead is interesting and could be kinda fun. If blast zone ends up not being my thing, I'll give it a shot as well.

+1 upvote! Consider Llanowar Druid, its can make for some incredibly explosive turns in mono green.

I really like that card. I'll have to test it out.

Have you ever thought of running Overwhelming Stampede? It is essentially a Craterhoof Behemoth when you don't get the latter card.

Didn't mean to suggest Craterhoof Behemoth lol

I actually ran overwhelming Stampede for years. I ended up cutting it because between kamahl and hoofy, it ended up being a dead card almost every game.

How often do you win when playing this deck in real life?

May 4, 2020 1:20 p.m.

Kamerot says... #9

It has the highest win % in my playgroup. I definitely win a lot more often than not.

This deck is so ridiculous that I had a board with at least 20 creatures by turn 6. Absolutely brutal.

MAESTROJRmtg says... #11

EDIT: I was able to cast Genesis Wave where X = 103 on turn 6, thereby playing every permanent card in the deck. I used Nyxbloom Ancient and Mana Reflection for a x6 combo.

Lol. Glad you enjoy it. It's taken a lot of time and work, but this is definitely my pride and joy.

Why is this featured so often.

May 18, 2020 4:12 p.m.

Kamerot says... #14

Because I spend a token each day to feature it. I buy the tokens to help support the site.

Hi, I am new to to site and have no idea what the heck I am doing, so I have a formatting question. You have drop down categories in the description (Card Choices And Meta Combos Defense Recursion Ramp Card Advantage Cheat and Offense), how do you do that? Can't find it anywhere ツ

Just below the comment box, underneath the button that says "Preview your comment!", theres a link that says formatting tips. Click that, then select text formatting. And then scroll down until you get to the section that says "spoilers and accordions". I use the accordion formatting for my write ups.

Been watching this deck for the last couple of years, loving it still! What you think of my boy Garruk, Unleashed?

Kamerot says... #20

It's a really nice card, unfortunately I dont feel it fits with this deck very well. I may still playtest it just to see how it does. But as of now, I'm considering adding him to one of my other decks.

I love this deck though i have to wonder why some cards are not in here if you could find room fair enough or if you though that this doesn't need them again fine. Emerald Medallion and/or Rhonas's Monument for cheaper spells and creatures now I know green can ridiculous amounts of mana so these are not the most important but the monument does give a creature a mini Overrun each time you cast a creature spell. Nyx Lotus which just a second slower Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for more ramp, Bow of Nylea Which gives the passive ability of Ohran Frostfang as it never hurts to have redundancy a few time to have something to fall back on but also give you these really nice modal options the best for this deck are the add a +1/+1 counter on a creature each turn which helps trample, And the Put up to four target cards from your graveyard on the bottom of your library in any order for reusable cards as I didn't see anything that lets you use the graveyard as a resource and like it been apart of every green deck I seen because of it utility. Things that give creatures trample other than your commander things like Brawn, Nylea, God of the Hunt, Nylea's Forerunner, Primal Rage or Roughshod Mentor things like that. Citanul Hierophants or Cryptolith Rite for more mana. Embodiment of Insight as it such has a high synergy level with your commander. Sword of the Animist for repeatable forest searching which also helps thin your deck so your draw abilites become more useful. Vivien's Arkbow or Elvish Piper for free creatures. Overwhelming Stampede as it has a great synergy with your commander. you mention over Overrun and that would be a great addition to this deck as would Beastmaster Ascension which I always seen as an auto include. May take out a forest for Rogue's Passage as unblockable creatures in decks like this are no joke. I would do the same for a Reliquary Tower for unlimited hand size, mostly for those people that are running forced draw card decks like Nekusar, the Mindrazer or similar decks. I would also run Pir's Whim for a few reason, 1. it give you the ability to search for a non-basic land, 2. it can target more than just one artifact or enchantment (though you don't get to choose) and 3. it a little politics to your deck you can make deals with other players so they can be friends instead of foes until you are ready to deal with them. And finally both Lifecrafter's Bestiary and Harmonize for more draw power

Before I dive into the responses, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to comment.

  • Emerald Medallion/Rhonas's Monument - bring in mono green, I have no way to search for these to get them out early and after turn 4 they really become a dead draw. The deck generates an insane amount of mana when I get going for better utility that I can use at any point in the game.
  • Nyx Lotus - I hate that it enters tapped. I've been on the fence about it, and if I ever pull one or trade for one, I'll test it. It also runs counterintuitive to Collector Ouphe which I try to keep out as often as possible to hinder my playgroup.
  • Bow of Nylea - deathtouch is rarely needed, Ohran Frostfang is ran mostly because of the passive draw ability it has. I am running this in my budget deck though since it doesn't generate mana like this version does. I do plan on testing it in this version eventually for the other abilities though.
  • Brawn/Nylea, God of the Hunt/Nylea's Forerunner/Primal Rage/Roughshod Mentor - between kamahl and hoofy, these are unneeded.
  • Citanul Hierophants/Cryptolith Rite - I ran hierophants for a long time when I first made the deck and eventually dropped it. Outside of my mana dorks, I dont tap the creatures for mana, so it just became unnecessary.
  • Embodiment of Insight - I dont turn my lands into creatures unless absolutely necessary. So this doesn't really help my playstyle.
  • Sword of the Animist - it's a great card, I just don't use equipment in this deck. No real reason for it, I dont even run Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves.
  • Vivien's Arkbow/Elvish Piper - both on the list to playtest.
  • Overwhelming Stampede/Overrun - ran stampede for years in the deck and eventually dropped it for more utility. My commander does overrun at instant speed so I wont waste a slot on the actual overrun card.
  • Beastmaster Ascension - haven't really considered it to be honest. I dont need it offensively, but could be useful to help keep my mana dorks alive from mass damage spells. I'll have to play around with it.
  • Rogue's Passage - unneeded. When I swing, I get through.
  • Reliquary Tower - already in the deck.
  • Pir's Whim - I just recently discovered this card for another deck and plan on playtesting it in this deck.
  • Lifecrafter's Bestiary - on the maybe list, I'll eventually playtest it.
  • Harmonize - I have better draw spells for only 1 additional mana.

Again, thank you for all the suggestions, I greatly appreciate it.

I would of also of said Omnath, Locus of Mana but I read your thoughts on him already, but i will say this he can and cannot work with your commander depending on how you use. Yes he can a beatstick if your not spending the mana he soaks but that can be a fall back if thing get hairy (which since giving you recommendations I've played test this and runs super great), but his ability for you to squeeze his mana out of him can help your commander overrun ability be used multiple times without have to your lands so you have mana to other thing if need or vise versa. And also as he is a big target for people so you could use that to help save other key creatures from being hit by spot removal or counters (I do that with some of my combo decks and it funny how much that trick works and I end up winning because they focus on a big target card instead of the combo card I need to win). But again ik already read about what you said about him just wanted to put my two cents in feel free to ignore this post

June 15, 2020 4:18 a.m.

Kamerot says... #24

No worries. I will probably put omnath in the deck eventually, it'll depend heavily on how my playgroup develops power wise. For now I'm leaving him out on pride's sake (idiotic reason. I know.)

Also fun fact if you have everything on the field except for Non-colored permanents and Instants and sorceries or Concordant Crossroads as you can only have on world enchantment on the field at a time I think, and I choose Hall of Gemstone as it has twice the devotion to green as Crossroads, your deck could produce around 1,456 mana (give or take some for any card i may have missed) (48 of colorless and 1,408 green mana) for your X spells Finale of Devastation, Green Sun's Zenith and Genesis Wave which is would be fun to pull off.
