Kamasutra, God of Bondage (Karametra Question)
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on April 25, 2016, 9:11 p.m. by Flagellum
So I determined that I would like to make an animated land/landfall deck using Karametra, God of Harvests as the commander. My question is, is this a viable strategy or should I stick to abusing the landfall mechanic with good stuff?
Living Lands, Nature's Revolt, Life and Limb are 3 enchantments that animate my lands. With Life and Limb several synergies occur. Saprolings produced by various effects like Sporemound (but never together!), Aura Mutation, ect. now act as additional lands. Dropping lands also can trigger Mentor of the Meek's ability to net me cards or when saprolings ETB. Earth Surge offers a decent pump so does Beastmaster Ascension. Overrun mechanics are one wincon, Mirror Entity is another all star.
Terra Eternal, Eldrazi Monument can make my lands indestructible and Equinox (w00t, legends FTW!) can prevent wraths or targeted removal. Should they get destroyed Titania, Protector of Argoth can flood the board with 5/3's and several other gy land recursion like Planar Birth, Groundskeeper, Life from the Loam ect.
This seems like an interesting direction with her and in hoping that it can work well.

Worth mentioning though, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite on the other side of the table also ends your game. And she's a frequently-enough run card that you may want to think twice about animating lands.

True, Massacre Wurm likewise and other things that can get around indestructibility. Although, I've yet to run into Elesh Norn in a game yet in my meta/LGS I DO know people run it in their decks. I was just trying to justify myself away from going 
tokens when there are better commanders than Kara (like Rhyss/Trostani) which I've done before. That being said there are several Landfall abilities that produce tokens.
So I should probably stick with just the landfall theme, and the things that benefit from having plenty of lands.

Although Terra Eternal may be a wise option with Kara as I'm sure it is easy to over-extend with land ramp with her :p

Also Living Plane is another effect like that. Also if you want to be really mean, Linvala, Keeper of Silence makes all your opponents lands stop making mana with either Living Plane or similar effects out.

Living Lands or Nature's Revolt are basically GG with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Just thought I'd point it out, although your playgroup will definitely resent you for running it.
