If you know anything about Travis Woo, you know that he likes to challenge the conventions of deck building, particularly by playing as few lands as possible (ever see a no-land deck? Yeah, he built one). Well, I have the opposite tendency-- I want to see just how powerful lands can be. And I want to show whoever has the misfortune of sitting across the table from my TERRIFYING LANDS OF DOOM.
So yeah, uh, lands.
Magic is all about casting spells. To cast spells, you need mana. For mana, you (usually) need lands (I'm looking at you, Travis Woo!). You build up lands gradually throughout the game, right? WRONG.
Atarka's Command: What's that? Play another land, you say? Don't mind if I do.
Coiling Oracle: What's that? Another land? Well of course.
Explore: Ooh, another la-- SHUT UP WE GET THE POINT. Fine, pushy, pushy. Moving on.
So yeah, turns out that you can kill people with lands.
Okay, so maybe it's not actually the lands that are killing you. But they're contributing!
Zendikar Incarnate : Also known as EVA Unit 01, amirite? With the amount of ramp in here, he comes out turn 3, or turn 4 to leave some mana open to interact. At 4 CMC and 4 toughness, he's resilient to both Lightning Bolt and Abrupt Decay. At 4+ power, he quickly becomes a huge threat that must be answered.
Allosaurus Rider is an alternative version of the same win-con. He has the option of coming in for no mana, which can be good early or late if you need to be able to interact. He is also Abrupt-Decay-proof, and will usually be Bolt-proof as well.
Primeval Titan: Youcan't run a ramp deck in modern without the king of the rampy, stompy jungle. In addition to being Bolt- and Decay-proof, he gives you immediate valueand advances your other wincons as well.
Budoka Gardener is another way to get lands out faster, but if you manage to flip him, he turns into a God-token factory, pumping out TEN/TENS of annihilatory badassery. On the other hand, he isn't resilient in the least. Discretion advised.
Remember when I said that the lands weren't actually doing the killing? I lied. Treetp Village offers a serviceable body with evasion, and is RESILIENT TO ABRUPT DECAY. Didn't see that coming, did you?
So yeah, turns out other people can kill you too.
Rude, right? Well, that's alright. We'll just have to keep them from killing us before we can kill them.
Lightning Bolt: Classic, I know.
Mana Leak: Classic, I know. Also see Deprive, which is less classic in the classic sense, but it's basically Counterspell, which makes it OG classic.
Electrolyze: Ooh, look at that shiny newfangled tech. It's got a few too many words on it, but it really just says "value."
Courser of Kruphix: So it doesn't kill things or even come out turn 2, but it does let you dig through your deck, gain life, and block attacks. Works nicely with Coiling Oracle and Explore, too.
