ThermalMeerkat, its the Promo, I got it from an LGS just for a neat upgrade for my favorite EDH deck.

IMHO birds is a wasted card in this deck, if it's not in your opening hand it basically does nothing.
This deck looks very competitive so I might be out of place (I'm a super casual player), but have you considered Tempt with Vengeance? I have destroyed the board with that card and a good sac outlet.
Also, no Boundless Realms? any card that can net me 7+ landfall triggers seems like a must.
I recently added Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar to my deck, great way to get lands back to your hand and is a huge beater late game. Really like your build though, +1 from me.

passascats thanks for the +1, and yes I have put a lot of work into making this pretty strong.

Yes BOP is pretty useless unless it’s my turn 1-2 play but that is justified, cause that leads into explosive starts. If I get it later in a game, it’s good discard fodder for Chandra or Greater Good. Or it can be a chump flier blocker lol.

I don’t like Realms for this deck because I ramp so hard I generally get most of my basics out that Realms wouldn’t net me that much.

I haven’t tested Multani in this list mainly because she doesn’t stand out that much to me but I’ll look into it.

As for the Tempt, I like it and I like your reasoning for it but generally I maintain the board pretty well with my wipes and removal but I’ll look into that suggestion too.

Thanks for the input!

Hey idk if you know this and are playing her anyway just cuz she’s kind of a bomb card, but Chandra, Flamecaller ’s elementals don’t die. They’re exiled on the end step.

I am aware, normally I just use the 0 and "ult" abilities as they are more impactful. The + is good for pressuring a planeswalker or for more fodder towards Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar .

That is fair, Frisbee. Good points.

Very nice, have you seen Perilous Forays though? If you combine it with your commander and Amulet of Vigor or Lotus Cobra it lets you get all your basic lands onto the field, with each one giving you 3 burn damage. This combo has allowed me to eliminate 2 players on turn 5, but my deck also has a lot more basic lands than yours due to budget restraints. Still, combining it with Parallel Lives or Warstorm Surge are just two examples of how insane this combo can be if you get the right pieces. Just a suggestion in case you haven’t seen it, love your deck though!

BeefSupreem12, I have seen those, and I know those enchantments are immensely popular with angry Om decks for good reasons as it is powerful to get the pseudo-combo going. But personally I dislike running those bulkier (5CMC or greater) enchantments as I have found them difficult to play alongside Om, and not be losing, in my area's meta. But I do keep going back and forth on Perilous Forays, Parallel Lives and Warstorm Surge so maybe someday if the competitiveness of my LGS's EDH scene goes down they will be included again lol.

BeefSupreem12 says... #13

Ah, yeah my meta is probably a bit on the slow side so it works great for me, but yeah it’s a bit much for faster/more competitive metas. One other card that I’m only mentioning because I literally just discovered it and immediately love is Defense of the Heart. If any of your opponents are playing a creature deck it’s basically a 4 cmc entwined Tooth and Nail. Although it is delayed since it activates during upkeep /:

Weird_Frisbee says... #14

Defense of the Heart is definitely an interesting option to put it, I will actually have to consider it.

Where Ancients Tread is pretty hilarious with Omnath

Weird_Frisbee says... #16

skroes, that's what Terror of the Peaks is here for, and in a much better version akin to Warstorm Surge, on a 5-mana body. The best of both worlds.

How has Glimmer Bairn been working out? I was thinking of adding him to my own Omnath list as well.

1000DollarBrian, Glimmer Bairn has been putting in overtime, it's enabled really interesting lines of play where my opponents don't expect such an innocuous creature to help end games out of nowhere. The sheer fact that its a tutor-able, green, sac outlet for our elementals is awesome.

July 24, 2021 3:04 p.m.

how do your opponents "not expect" the Glimmer Bairn ?

July 24, 2021 3:11 p.m.

This deck is awesome! It should be, Omnath is amazing and the deck costs as much as a used jetski. I love using Gruul Turf in mine. You can use it to bounce itself and have at least 1 guaranteed land drop every turn. great list dude!

Any consideration for Perilous Forays? It seems like this could have some pretty nice synergy with your commander (basically reads as "pay : Lightning Bolt" on an enchantment). Maybe 5 mana is too much, but then again, you can kill someone really fast in the late game with this card.

Weird_Frisbee says... #23

Spell_Slam, I have tried Forays and it feels pretty meh imo. With all the search in the deck (and i'm sure other versions of Angry Om), Forays would maybe get us 5 lands. And as a sac-outlet, Altar or Bee-boy are just better cause no cost to sac.

November 14, 2021 10:25 p.m.

I'm surprised how little lands this deck has, do you usually just have enough dorks/ramp that it doesn't matter?

May 24, 2022 2:04 a.m.

Nm, the custom ordering just tripped me out, lol
