Cool deck. Bane of Progress seems good considering how few artifacts and enchantments you play.
But Crucible of Worlds might be worth including.
Depending on how much LD you want to run, Wasteland , Dust Bowl , Shivan Harvest , Helldozer might be playable.
Also Opposition Agent is a must as it shuts down most land ramp and fetch lands.

Grind never really thought of adding Opposition Agent that is definitely a good idea. I have one lying around, and will test it.

Crucible of Worlds is an all star, but since Windgrace despises artifacts, I’ve chosen to not run any for flavor purposes. Luckily, 2 of those effects in Ancient Greenwarden and Ramunap Excavator plus Life from the Loam and Lord Windgrace himself seems sufficient.

I’m still fiddling with lands to see how much land destruction i can squeeze in without making colors too difficult to work with. Good suggestions though, for sure.

I think this deck is really cool. It just seems so focused and probably annoying to have to play against if you were an artifact deck. Have you ever thought to put in Decimate or Hit / Run and what about Structural Distortion ?

jacksonplayz666 hey! Yeah, the deck is really good at controlling the flow of the game without being overly oppressive.

Decimate always feels like a gamble because if any targets are unavailable it’s dead in your hand. I wish it were less finicky, because I love the card.

I love the other two suggestions, i have not run across those. I’ll have to look around to find a spot to try them in.

Thanks!

DevoMelvminster You are welcome. I came across them when looking for a Jund commander. Do you happen to know any good jund commanders??

DevoMelvminster Have you ever thought about Darigaaz's Caldera ?

Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire is a freaking SWEET commander in my opinion. I’ve been planning to build it for a while. Hit / Run is a perfect card for it too.

jacksonplayz666 Darigaaz's Caldera is PERFECT i totally overlooked that it comes in untapped. Thanks so much.

Mo’ lands, mo’ land destruction, mo’ versatile removal.

Switched around a bunch of stuff; lowering cmc, getting more early ramp in, added a little more tutoring and recurral. Testing a lot of stuff, will update with thoughts.

Another pretty big update. No hiding the fact that this is a combo deck now. We’ve officially been corrupted. I dropped the average cmc again, and have leaned heavily into protecting our combo pieces with various counters and cheap, versatile removal.

I can clarify any changes or omitted cards that you may think should be here. Thanks for checking it out!

No Crucible of Worlds? Seems like a good fit.

March 17, 2022 4:50 a.m.

ShredderTTN86 I stated in the description that for thematic purposes (windgrace has a strong hatred of artifacts and artificers) that I run no artifacts or rhings that produce artifacts. If i needed another ‘play lands from your graveyard’ card, I’d go with Ancient Greenwarden, but it feels fine as is since windgrace himself can bring them back in play, plus the few other cards I have to do so.

Why no Summoner's Pact??
