Land's ahoy: Aggro Landfall Deck, G/R

Commander / EDH* Budget Casual RG (Gruul)

x2wolf


Work in Progress.

This is first draft of my first commander deck. Budget deck based on recent cards (last two years) thrown together to make a casual but effective EDH deck.

Primary focus of deck is to quickly build up land and mana and to use landfall creatures to take advantage of playing extra land.

Secondary focuses are getting cheap creatures out early, having plenty of unit buff spells and artifacts, and have spells that deal with specific situations or inadequacies of the deck (currently don't have enough creatures with flying or reach). These can easily be changed as necessary.

Commander is a mid to late game help instead of the focus of the deck.

Current weakness/problems:Haven't done a "real" playtest yet, will get to do that Wednesday.

First draft of this had a terrible average converted mana cost and wasn't playable turn one. Mana curve is now better but still could use some work.

The deck may have problems with flying, especially in the first few turns.

Need to tweak the number of lands vs everything else ratio somewhat. Also need to change the ratio of Forests vs mountains.Possible cut out some spells to make room for more land and more one mana creatures.

Well, if I were to show you my deck, besides the commander you may not recognize it compared to this. Also, as I have learned more about commander I dropped the aggro archtype pretty early on. I also added in more land grab or land related enchantments, some of which were based on a friend's Omnath deck.

I am not going to update this just yet as my deck is going another major revision. Dropping most of my creatures and reworking into the deck an elemental theme (with a few exceptions) both for flavor reasons and to help trigger the commander "on elemental death" ability. In addition to that planned revision already have a revision underway in adding more land grab, ramp, or similar cards to help trigger Omnath's ability as much as possible.

So after both revisions I do plan on updating this. So regardless of if you are interested or not, you will be getting updates here :p
