"What's to worry if a land hits the battlefield?" - "Well, I guess you should meet Omnath, Locus of Rage "

This is the very first deck I built. It started as I went through my newly acquired cards (mostly abandoned collections for a few bucks) and tried to find elementals for a casual tribal deck. When I was through the cards I had so many that I nearly could build an EDH deck, so I took Omnath and began Building it. The core of the deck is still the same but I refined it over the years bit by bit. It is not my playstyle because Gruul Brute Force is not my way to go but I still love the deck. It has good replayability since there are no real Tutors and you something different every game. It also is my go to for people who are new to MTG because it is very beginners friendly as it works straight forward. You play and search for lands, bring Omnath, Locus of Rage into play and run over everything in sight.

Still there are some things to keep in mind (With this you should know most of it):

• The ramp in the deck tries to get the lands into play and not into the hand because you only have so few land drops per turn.

• Feel free to add fetches of your choice. As for dual lands try not to have too many because of the basic land search of the ramp.

• Probably the best turn 1 card is Burgeoning because it sets you up for an early Omnath, Locus of Rage .

• Abundance and Heirloom Blade are the semi tutors in the deck.

• Try not to burn out all the ramp spells before Omnath, Locus of Rage shows up because you want to get as many elemental tokens as possible after they arrive.

• Try to protect Omnath, Locus of Rage and best never attack or block with them because they are the engine of the deck.

• Don't worry if Omnath, Locus of Rage gets countered, destroyed, exiled, froggified or whatever your opponents wish to do because he is a removal magnet. They can end the game right after they enter thbattlefield. My record is casting them 8 times in one game so far. (My overall record still is casting Tetsuko 19 times from the command zone in one game)

• Warstorm Surge is one of the strongest cards the deck has. Every time you play a land with Omnath, Locus of Rage in play you can deal damage to any creature or player.

• Stalking Vengeance is the other side of this effect. Keep in mind that Omnath, Locus of Rage also deals damage as elementals die.

• Gratuitous Violence doubles the damage your creatures deal.

• Ball Lightning and Groundbreaker can cause together with Warstorm Surge , Stalking Vengeance , Omnath, Locus of Rage and Gratuitous Violence 42 damage each if you have one combat phase.

• Breath of Fury can give you a lot of Combat phases if you enchant one token and move it over to the next one until you have no creatures left. With all the damage you have dealt in combat and with the second ability of Omnath, Locus of Rage everybody else should be dead by the moment you enchant Omnath, Locus of Rage in the end.

• Aggravated Assault can give you multiple combat phases, too. Together with Savage Ventmaw you have infinite combat phases if the dragon survives.

• Khalni Heart Expedition is an enchantment I usually try to hold on with enough counters for Omnath, Locus of Rage to show up.

• Collective Voyage and Boundless Realms can be seen as the final explosion since they are enormous in the late game. Collective Voyage can also help in the beginning and maybe you can use political talk to get the others to pay mana, too.

• Nissa, Worldwaker does everything your Deck wants to. Especially the ultimate ability can straight up win the game. Yet you have to be carefull because you are light on flyers and everybody tries to kill Nissa, Worldwaker as fast as possible. I never had the chance to resolve her because I never drew her or the board was swarming with flyers.

• There is protection and removal against flyers of which Sandwurm Convergence is the strongest.

• Vigor protects your creatures, so keep them save.

• Verdant Sun's Avatar and Shamanic Revelation can make blocking redundant.

• Sylvan Awakening and Rude Awakening can win you the game out of nothing.

• Song of Freyalise can give you the needed preparation for the final strike.

• Cosmotronic Wave says you kill everybody so maybe keep that up for the moment you can.

• Shamanic Revelation and Elemental Bond are great to refill your hand.

• Since there are only that many lands in the deck you want to get some of the lands back into your hand. Slab Hammer , Mina and Denn, Wildborn and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar help you with that.

• Rubblehulk is not only a strong creature but also a powerful combat trick.

• Verdant Confluence and Reap the Past is the recursion in the deck that can reproduce turns from before.

• I probably should get Cloudstone Curio in the deck at some point because you could save your nontoken creatures and also get lands back into your hand.
