derping around with 4c omnath in edh


 

yeah i call it edh and not commander. i'm old, get used to it.

anyway i've been playing 4c omnath in edh since release. never made it cedh though. always durdly bullshit. ask my friends. they've seen me take 10-20 minute turns just playing land after land after land.

tbh it should be kenrith instead so i can jam bojuka bog, coffers, and urborg but i'm not abandoning my boy omnath. also omnath's life gain often acts as a stabilizer so it's not like he's useless.

the deck basically does nothing and then it does everything. makes sense, right? but then:

dryad of illysian grove, valakut, scapeshift
ruin crab, scapeshift
hedron scrab, scapeshift
avenger of zendikar, scapeshift
omnath locus of rage, scapeshift
felidar retreat, scapeshift

co-starrring:
aesi, tyrant of the gyre strait
horn of greed
ancient greenwarden
valakut exploration
grazing gladehart

all these cards are fine enough on their own but when i'm allowed make their powers combined they become captain landfall. then of course i have extra land drop cards:

dryad
oracle of mul daya
sakura tribe scout
exploration
mina and denn
azusa
aesi

those can then combine with crucible and ancient greenwarden to bring back fetchlands from the yard. or even wasteland if i want to be a dick. 

obviously there's the normal ramp spells like rampant growth, cultivate, explosive vegetation, etc. also dark depths and thespian's stage. a recurring marit lage is pretty dope. once i had someone manage to remove it like six turns in a row but it just kept coming back.

being that i'm turbo broke these days and had to sell the original it's now almost all proxied. proxies being normalized in casual edh is great. no more arrogant "I pAiD mOnEy HuRr DuRr" bullshit. these are my custom ones and the best marit lage token i could find:

i made the six duals and bought the force of will off facebook. yamata dragon was in my old yugioh collection and i couldn't resist.

other misc things in the deck are:

mystical/enlightened/worldly tutors
amulet of vigor
viridian corruptor
rec sage
genesis ultimatum
negate
dispel
e witness
k grip
treasure cruise
thrashing brontodon
tranquility

the deck isn't cedh by any means but once it hits critical mass feel free to get up and go take a shit because i'm gonna be a while.

ps: ruin crab is so infamous in my group it just dies when it hits the field.
