My take on Omnath, Locus of Rage

+1s are awesome, comments even better!

Game plan

1. Early game: Ramp as much as possible

2. Early- to Mid-game: ramp more and set-up some engine cards to draw more later on, be able to sac elementals, double any elementals you make, etc

3. Mid- to Late-game: Play your first pay-offs! This is what we’re here for. Omnath is a good start, but really any fatty will do to start crushing dreams and put the screws to your opponents. Be careful not to draw too much hate too early though. It might even be best to play defensively for now.

4. Late-game: burst onto the scene with a bunch of tokens and blast everything to smithereens. Continue to win on the back of the engine cards, control the board by saccing elementals or pseudo-wrathing, etc

Detailed plans below per category:

Ramp

The gist of the deck and what you’ll be doing most of the time at the start of the game.

1 CMC

• Sol Ring

• Search for Tomorrow

2 CMC

• Lotus Cobra

• Three Visits

• Nature's Lore

• Farseek

• Rampant Growth

• Sakura-Tribe Elder

• Into the North

3 CMC

• Cultivate

• Harrow

• Kodama's Reach

• Nissa's Pilgrimage

• Myriad Landscape (harrow on a land!)

• Springbloom Druid

4CMC

• Ranger's Path

• Skyshroud Claim

• Migration Path

Setup

While ramping in the Early/Midgame you’ll have some time to deploy your setup cards. These cards will help you survive early turns, navigate the later turns and mostly add extra value to things you’re doing already:

Landfall generators

These cards are outside the ramp camp because they require some more setup, though they can do just that, too. They usually serve as fuel for the engine that is our commander

Land-source boost

• Library: Oracle of Mul Daya

• Battlefield: Mina and Denn, Wildborn

• Graveyard: Ramunap Excavator / Crucible of Worlds / Ancient Greenwarden

Lands/turn boost

• Azusa, Lost but Seeking

• Oracle of Mul Daya (card just does it all)

• Mina and Denn, Wildborn

• Ancient Greenwarden

• World Shaper : with the amount of fetches in the deck this card will always hit 4-5 lands in the midgame, and can become pretty insane later on

• Amulet of Vigor doesn’t trigger too much on our regular lands, but is relevant when we ramp, or as semi-combo piece with World Shaper or Perilous Forays

• Protection: Lightning Greaves / Sylvan Safekeeper

• Card advantage: Elemental Bond , Garruk's Uprising , Shamanic Revelation , Return of the Wildspeaker , Greater Good , Tireless Tracker , Valakut Exploration are all excellent card draw with the lands and tokens we like to play.

• Parallel Lives for more tokens

• Warstorm Surge and Where Ancients Tread to enable high damage bursts

• Sac outlets to churn through our manabase and tokens for bolts around the table: Ashnod's Altar , Greater Good , Goblin Bombardment , Perilous Forays

Any new suggestions or recommendations, even from the cards in the maybeboard are welcome. Share your experiences!

Payoffs

• Omnath, Locus of Rage (duh). It’s what the deck is trying to do. Hit as many as possible land-drops per turn to maximize the amount of elementals, aided by token-doublers or card-drawing engines, add sac outlets for Burn to the face. Don’t let those elementals go to waste!

• Avenger of Zendikar - it took him long enough to get in but with the pricedrop due to double masters we’ve finally got him.

• End-Raze Forerunners as a poor man’s Craterhoof Behemoth to fetch with Summoner's Pact and Finale of Devastation

• Nissa, Vital Force (Her emblem is amazing and relatively easily attainable)

• Rampaging Baloths / Tireless Tracker for more landfall synergy

• Table-born with tokens: besides the high impact enchantments we’ve got some tableburn in Impact Tremors , Valakut Exploration and Purphoros, God of the Forge . With Avenger of Zendikar , Phylath, World Sculptor , Field of the Dead and Scute Swarm as quick token engines this can get out of hand quickly.

Control

How we stay on top of things

• having sac outlets ready when omnath is in play. This allows us to bolt anything or anyone at instant speed

• Comet Storm as sweeper when all else fails

• Beast Within

• Chaos Warp

Manabase

Fetches are obviously very important, and the rares ones that i have are in here, but any land that can create multiple triggers is great in the deck. These are:

• Bloodstained Mire

• Verdant Catacombs

• Windswept Heath

• Wooded Foothills

• Fabled Passage

• Myriad Landscape (double fetch!)

• Blighted Woodland (double fetch!)

• Evolving Wilds

• Terramorphic Expanse

Notable absentee is Prismatic Vista .

Utility lands:

• Field of the Dead

• Wasteland (fun with recursion when i get Ramunap Excavator / Crucible of Worlds and have Azusa on the battlefield >:))

• Sheltered Thicket

Deck development

Possible:

• Roiling Regrowth > ?

High priority to add:

• Life from the Loam

• Titania, Protector of Argoth

Will probably add when i come by them:

• Genesis Wave

• Steely Resolve > Lightning Greaves
