Yeva, Forest Forerunner:

A Yeva, Nature's Herald Proto-primer

Intro

Yeva protects nature on her home plane of Ravnica.

A Brief History

Card Selection

Notable Selections/Interactions

Currently Testing/Considerations

Notable Exclusions/Limitations

There's no colorless creatures. Yeva's ability only grants flash to green creatures, which is a limitation that I like - it keeps the deck from getting too similar to my other decks (esp. Koz).

There are currently no creatures with trample (although plenty of creatures that grant trample). This is a holdover from when the deck was run under Nylea as a tribal "creatures without trample." There's nothing technically stopping me from running creatures such as Soul of the Harvest, but Beast Whisperer exists now.

No gods, no guilds, only Heralds...

The first mono-green commander I played was Yeva, Nature's Herald. She's the best blue general in green you could ask for. She also plays well with the many elves of EDH, without devolving into usual elfball tactics.

Ramp hard until you can cast both her and her friends with flash during some poor sucker's end step. Follow it up with big overrun swings.
