VALUE COMBOS. The focus of this deck is assembling value combos while moving land cards between zones for fun and profit.

Combos:

• Groundskeeper loops with the commander, with Seismic Assault, Molten Vortex, Ayula's Influence and similar cards. I feel like Groundskeeper is actually the best card in the deck despite being a 1-drop.

• Cultivator Colossus with Abundance or at least with Scouting Trek lets you get out a ridiculous amount of lands on the battlefield (+ having a Valakut Exploration at the same time is nice and can straight up win the game on the spot sometimes). Countryside Crusher also works pretty well with Scouting Trek, especially when combined with Splendid Reclamation or another card with that effect. And all of these cards are fine on their own.

• Pestilent Spirit plus Wail of the Nim or Electrickery are a DIY one-sided boardwipe. Pestilent Spirit also works well with Flame Jab and Riveteers Confluence, which tie the room together with the land theme. Again all of these cards are good on their own (Especially Riveteers Confluence and Wail of the Nim). Electrickery is not good on its own, however it can still be kinda fun to have sometimes, especially against token decks.

• Veinwitch Coven loops! When you have Veinwitch Coven and Soul of Windgrace out, the lifegain ability on Soul of Windgrace's ability triggers Veinwitch Coven (and/or Witch of the Moors). This is best combined with cycling Krosan Tusker and then discarding the fetched basic land to Windgrace's ability to gain life, thusly triggering Veinwitch Coven and getting back the Krosan Tusker, being able to do all over again - while netting a card every time and moving a basic from the library to the graveyard, where you can use it later.

• Another use for Veinwitch Coven is with Willow Geist, which gains you life upon its death, allowing you to return it to your hand with Veinwitch Coven, letting you block for free every turn cycle. Willow Geist also fits the deck's land theme on its own and Veinwitch Coven is a good recursion option for creatures even outside of these loops.

• (This package is currently not in the deck, check the Maybeboard:) If you get Filth into the graveyard, it gives you swampwalk. Good if you happen to be playing against enemy swamps. But you can also rig this using Yavimaya Dryad or Verdant Mastery to give your opponent an Overgrown Tomb or a Swamp respectively.

The Spice

• Titania, Protector of Argoth is not a card that fits in the deck perfectly and originally wasn't in the deck. It is however too cool not to be included.

• Aggressive Mining is a tricky card to use, but very fun too. It is practically without downside in the late game when you already have many lands. But if you play it in the mid-game or so, then you have to constantly tow the line of keeping enough lands versus drawing enough cards. You can get lands in play even when you have Aggressive Mining out using Soul of Windgrace and Erinis, Gloom Stalker, plus stuff like Splendid Reclamation as well.

• Overlaid Terrain is dank. It is not always a good idea to play it, only works in some scenarios, but is way too cool in my opinion not to use. "The nuts" is playing Mountain into Orcish Lumberjack on turn 1 and then forest into Overlaid Terrain on turn 2, sacrificing a Forest to Orcish Lumberjack. It is also a 2-card combo with Titania, Protector of Argoth and/or with The Gitrog Monster. You can play it when you have 8 mana, first floating 4 mana, then playing Overlaid Terrain and then playing Splendid Reclamation right after. And another way to do it is to play it on curve one turn after playing the commader, with having a land in hand to play. That way after you sac your lands, you play a land from hand a reanimate a land with Windgrace all on the same turn, essentially going right back to 4 mana on turn 5 or 4.

The Current Budget and Suggested Upgrades

As all of my decks, this is a semi-budget deck. The budgetless cards I would definitely include are: the modern staple fetchlands such as Verdant Catacombs, Prismatic Vista, Fabled Passage, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, Field of the Dead and Life from the Loam.

Why not the planeswalker version of Windgrace instead?

I personaly prefer Soul of Windgrace over Lord Windgrace as the commander. Art and card type reasons aside, the main reason why has to do with what they actually do. The planeswalker one lets you discard lands in an efficient way and then minuses to ramp you once (by two lands, but still). And he has an ultimate which you are not gonna get to anyway.

Soul of Windgrace wants you to get lands in grave in other ways (for the etb) and then ramps you every turn. On top of that he is a discard outlet for lands, making loops with Groundskeeper possible.

So in summary, I think Lord Windgrace is better at getting lands in the graveyard and Soul of Windgrace is better at getting them out of the graveyard. I find the latter to be much more likable.
