Metachemist, that was my thought on the possible inclusion of Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. At very least, she can be a deterrent from Omnath, Locus of Creation being removed. However you spin it, parity will be broken and the pressure is on.

I was looking at the little extra buff being beneficial to our weaker tokens and the debuff to wipe any weenies on our opponent’s board. Very easy for us to get out and apply the early pressure. Just a thought. How about Prime Speaker Zegana? Finale of Devastation for 10 grabbing Zegana sounds nasty. Plus, the ability to flicker Zegana for more draw isn’t a bad perk. If I were to make the move, I’d probably cut Deadeye Navigator since I rely mostly on Emiel the Blessed for flicker effects.

I have an extra Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite lying around. Could we make use for it here?

So long, farewell, Tatyova, Benthic Druid. I’ll be replacing her with, Aesi, Tyrant of the Epicycle Strait.

Yeah, I can’t disagree with the cut. I myself will most likely cut Deadeye Navigator for a leaked Commander Legends card, but that’s all I can say about that.

rkjunior, that is one of my favorite ways to win is with Purphoros, God of the Forge and Avenger of Zendikar. Purphoros has been a MVP with all the token producers.

unwucht, I agree. Nothing against those who prefer to play single win combo decks, but IMO, I find builds like that to be so boring to play, when they revolve around being one track minded. They load their decks up with counter cards to save their win pieces, but the “off chance” a piece is removed, the deck is now unplayable and you have to scoop. I prefer multiple ways to pull off a win. It keeps the deck from going stale.

It’s awesome how much the three decks have come along and have evolved. I had a win without ever casting Omnath, Locus of Creation. I pulled it off with Gruul Turf + Retreat to Coralhelm + Sakura-Tribe Scout with Valakut Exploration in play. Since I had infinite landfall triggers, I did enough to deal lethal damage at my end step. This deck is full of ways to walk away with the win.

rkjunior, Carpet of Flowers is definitely worth the add. I cut Wayward Swordtooth for it. I think you’d probably like Chromatic Orrery as well.

rkjunior, I did something similar yesterday. I cast Finale of Revelation for 15, got to untapped Gaea's Cradle, drew into a Finale of Devastation and hit that for 10 to bring out Craterhoof Behemoth. The deck just takes off running and there is no slowing down.

CoolCat7271, that’s great, thank you for sharing! I’m glad that you took the win. Nahiri's Lithoforming has definitely been one of my favorite cards in the deck.

Metachemist, that would be great!

unwucht, yeah, I’m considering doing the same and video chatting some games with my friends. It seems to be the only way to get games in these days.

That’s a tough one. What’s your cut for Emiel the Blessed?

rkjunior, it does provide synergy with the deck. I’ve just always felt that it is one of the weaker options for draw out there. Personally, I have never cared to run it any landfall deck that I’ve created, but if you feel it’s worth a shot, give it a try.

Have you played your deck against your playgroup recently, unwucht? It would be great to hear how the games go. I wish I could provide my own results, but apparently life just gets in the way and scheduling conflict with my guys have been unreal.

unwucht, Carpet of Flowers should be a great way to make the deck faster and provide an over abundance of mana to empty into one of our sinks, most specifically Finale of Devastation. BTW I cut the Forest and replaced it with Dryad Arbor. So if we roll out an early Tooth and Nail that isn’t quite ready for Craterhoof Behemoth/Avenger of Zendikar, we can grab Emiel the Blessed/Dockside Extortionist for infinite mana (assuming there are at least 4 enchantments/artifacts on your opponent’s field). This will give us the win with a fetch grabbing the Dryad. Assuming it checked out, I had a turn 4 win with that combo in testing. Also, Chromatic Orrery has won me over in testing and will become a permanent in my list. Normally I’d say the card is too expensive and not worth the add, but it is so easy to get out by turn 4-5. Plus, I’ve known people to spend the same amount of mana into a Zendikar Resurgent and to me I feel like I get more out of the orrery.

unwucht, thank you for the feedback! What do you think would be a better cut for Carpet of Flowers? I don’t want to cut Burgeoning, but it was the only thing that came to mind besides Farseek. Hopefully Mystic Remora is better. I can’t see anyone paying to counter the draw and the cumulative upkeep should be easy to pay for us. Chromatic Orrery could very well be overrated, but like you said, won’t know until it’s tested. So I’ll give it a shot.

These are some adjustments I want to try out:

• Burgeoning < Carpet of Flowers

• Rhystic Study < Mystic Remora

• Ashaya, Soul of the Wild < Chromatic Orrery

Feedback would be greatly appreciated!
