{U}{R}{G} Introduction: Landmaster Flash {U}{R}{G}

Show

Welcome to my primer for "Boulder Dash", an EDH Temur landfall deck with Omnath, Locus of the Roil as the commander.

Landfall is a powerful and synergistic strategy in {U}{R}{G} colours, is fun to play at casual Commander tables and has decent game against most opponents. This primer outlines the decisions I've made in building the deck, outlines some of the key cards, and provides some ideas and tactics about how you can get the best from a Temur landfall build.

As a general introduction, this list is focused around two main themes: elemental tribal and landfall, which combine to form an aggressive deck that can run away with card advantage quite quickly. It doesn't pack much in the way of removal and instead tries to overwhelm its opponents before they can develop much of a board state. Omnath, Locus of the Roil contributes plenty of power and efficiency but I've tried to ensure the deck still functions well without him. I'll explain more about his role as Commander in the following section.

Deck Elements

Show

The key elements of the deck are as follows:

1. Extra Land Drops: As a landfall deck, the goal is to get as many lands in play as possible, both during the early game to ramp quickly, and later on when its various landfall value creatures are on the board. To do this, the deck has various mana accelerants, including Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Oracle of Mul Daya and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, along with the usual green ramp package of various Cultivate type effects.

2. Landfall Triggers: Many cards generate incremental value via landfall triggers. Ancient Greenwarden kicks things into overdrive by doubling the number of land triggers. To ensure the deck can continue hitting its land drops, Crucible of Worlds and Ramunap Excavator allow you to recycle lands from the graveyeard. Fetch land effects from Fabled Passage, Bountiful Landscape and the relevant coloured fetch lands double your land drop triggers for even more value. Splendid Reclamation, Harvest Season and Traverse the Outlands are potentially explosive cards for a landfall strategy.

3. Combat: This is an aggressive deck that wants to attack, so sitting back while your opponents develop a board state will rarely get you very far. Because it only really has the one linear win condition - overwhelming your opponents with waves of creatures - a few combat tricks have been included to force damage through. These include Triumph of the Hordes, Gruul Charm, Sylvan Awakening and Cyclonic Rift. Moraug, Fury of Akoum is an all-star here, potentially allowing multiple combat phases with various combinations of land drops, fetch lands and ramp spells.

4. Elemental Tribal: Although it's not a full tribal deck, the synergies between the various elemental creature types also benefit our game plan. The main benefit is for Omnath, Locus of the Roil triggers, which can pick off targets if there are problematic creatures on the board, or do damage to the dome. Flamekin Harbinger helps find the right Elemental at the right time (this will often be Omnath, Locus of Rage for the explosive power it has with extra land drops, but we have other options).

Each of these four elements is discussed in detail below.

The Role of Counterspells

Show

You might be wondering why I'm including counters in such an aggressive deck. Playtesting has shown that they tend to range from useful to essential, as there are plenty of hoser cards that can shut down our game plan instantly. We reserve our counterspells for these types of threats: boardwipes, pillowfort enchantments, problematic hatebears etc. We're currently running Arcane Denial, Counterspell, Mana Drain and Stubborn Denial (I might add Fierce Guardianship too). Having the requisite untapped mana is rarely an issue as we're ramping so quickly and putting lots of lands into play.
