I am currently working on this deck. advice is welcome.

Strategy: the general idea is to bring out Omnath, Locus of Mana, use the various forms of Mana Ramp to pump him up with a huge mana pool, draw large amounts of cards, and tutor out the large selections of answers to any problem you might run into, and then over-run for the win.

Mana Advantage: This deck has some major mana advantage. Don't have enough mana to cast that giant spell this turn? Don't have a spell you want to cast this turn? Answer: tap the mana now, give it to Omnath, use it later. When Omnath is on the board you are almost never tapped out of mana. In the meantime he is a giant blocker, and a giant commander damage dealer. The deck is full of elves to help you pump Omnath up as well.

Arbor Elf; Elvish Archdruid; Elvish Mystic; Fyndhorn Elder; Fyndhorn Elves; Greenweaver Druid; Joraga Treespeaker; Karametra's Acolyte; Llanowar Elves; Oracle of Mul Daya; Priest of Titania; Selvala, Heart of the Wilds; Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger; Wirewood Channeler; Gaea's Cradle; Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx; Mana Reflection; Doubling Cube

Card Advantage: If you have ever played with Survival of the Fittest, or against it for that matter, you realize the power of being able to go into your deck and pulling out that ONE card that can answer a threat in a certain situation. This deck is full of those answers, and full of the tutors necessary to find them.

Tutors:

Elvish Harbinger; Fauna Shaman; Fierce Empath; Skyshroud Poacher; Mosswort Bridge; Defense of the Heart; Tooth and Nail; Survival of the Fittest; Green Sun's Zenith; Natural Order; Chord of Calling;

Answers:

Bane of Progress : Artifacts and enchantments, Reclamation Sage : Artifacts and enchantments, Gaea's Herald : counters, Ulvenwald Tracker : Creature Control, Elderscale Wurm : creatures or damage I cant deal with, Vigor : Damage prevention, Riftsweeper : Exile, Winding Canyons : Flash, Silklash Spider : Flying, Spike Weaver : Fog, Wellwisher : Gain Life, Scavenging Ooze : Graveyard, Soul of New Phyrexia : Indestructible, Bonds of Mortality : Indestructible, Melira, Sylvok Outcast : Infect, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre : Mill, shuffle graveyard, Terastodon : Permanent control, Trolls of Tel-Jilad : Regenerate, Tajuru Preserver : Sacrifice, Willow Satyr : Steal a Commander, Brooding Saurian : Stolen Creatures, Dosan the Falling Leaf : stop responses to my casting

Card Advantage 2: When not pulling out specific cards, this deck is full of ways to draw large hand fulls of cards. Regal Force is easy to tutor, Sacrifice a giant Omnath to Greater Good, to name a few ways.

Elvish Visionary; Regal Force; Greater Good; Genesis Wave; Life's Legacy; Soul's Majesty; Momentous Fall

Speedy Answers to Threats: Yeva, Nature's Herald is your friend. Once she is out (or in your hand), you can cast any of those creatures in your hand (or can find in your deck) in immediate response to a threat as it is cast. Counter a Counterspell with a Gaea's Herald. Destroy an artifact or enchantment with a Reclamation Sage. Pull out a Temur Saburtooth whenever anyone targets a creature you dont want to lose. Throw down a Soul of New Phyrexia to save yourself from a board wipe. Recycle your library by either pitching Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre into the graveyard, or sacrificing him to draw more cards. Dont forget Rift Sweeper, Melira, Sylvok Outcast, or Silklash Spider.

Turn Advantage: Seedborn Muse, Yeva, Nature's Herald, and Omnath, Locus of Mana are an extremely powerful combo. Every turn is now your turn. Untap all of your mana generators to pump Omnath up more. Use the Card draw, mana on Omnath, and all your creatures with flash to build a giant army for your next turn (when they will not have summoning sickness). Wirewood Symbiote and Patron of the Orochi help untap land and creatures more than once per turn (anyone's turn!)Avoiding Destruction: Board wipes and creature controll are a creature deck's worst nightmare. Soul of New Phyrexia, can keep those creatures from dying. Temur Sabertooth and Wirewood Symbiote and that pile of mana on Omnath can often bounce all of your creatures to safety and still be able to cast them all right away, especially with the help of Yeva. Ezuri, Renegade Leader, and Yavimaya Hollow, can put a regeneration shield on creatures that get targeted frequently.
