Stone-Seeder Hierophant seems like it'd do work here.
You might like these too: Oboro Breezecaller (essentially a second meloku, minus the tokens), Skyshroud Ranger, Chakram Retriever, Animist's Awakening, Kamahl's Druidic Vow, Genesis Wave, Pir's Whim, Hour of Promise, Reap and Sow, Sylvan Scrying, Squandered Resources, World Shaper, Elvish Rejuvenator, Words of Wind, Honor-Worn Shaku

Hello! I love the deck! But some cards in the combo sections and other tabs,aren't listed in your deck. What would you remove for them etc?
March 18, 2021 3:34 p.m.
Hbyhbyv Storm Cauldron became a problem when I was trying to storm off. It's funny to watch opponents struggle with their plays but when it hinders you it's a problem.
I believe that's the only card under my combos I took out.

Ziabo Where is rampaging baloths, freed from the reel, and whilspeaker cloak?? what cards were removed for them and vice versa?
March 20, 2021 1:35 a.m.
Rampaging Baloths was taken out for Stone-Seeder Hierophant for being able to abuse landfall to generate more mana essentially doubling our mana per turn.
Whispersilk Cloak for Arcane Signet . Originally wasn't going to have any mana rocks period but realized that one is actually beneficial.
Freed from the Reel for Swan Song. Still play testing with and without this enchantment. It's a great combo piece but like interactions too.
None of these swaps are 1:1 just what I took out cuz I needed a certain other thing. Still testing this deck and tinkering. Will be updating the primer when I can get a spare hour or 2 to update it.

I might take some ideas from your list for mine, feel free to do the same.

seshiro_of_the_orochi lmao bro. My inspiration for this deck came from your list. Honored you took the time to look

Well, that explains the similarities. You sure made some great changes, though. I wish you lots of fun with it.

There's another combo you didn't mention btw: Patron of the Moon + Archelos + Any bounce land means infinite etb triggers and additional mana.
March 20, 2021 9:08 a.m.
OHHHH gotcha. Good choices for the swaps honestly. I really love the deck and it's keeping up the deck brewing up! I appreciate the responses!
March 20, 2021 3:02 p.m.
Hbyhbyv I appreciate the conversation on this deck. If you have any decks uploaded I'd love to take a gander at them

Oh, I somehow missed Patron wasn't in here. Shame :D
March 21, 2021 4:54 a.m.
seshiro_of_the_orochi Patron of the Moon is a beast in this deck. Can easily abuse it to go infinite.

Absolutely, it's a great card that finally has a deck to shine in.

Btw, I found another combo while goldfishing: Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait 1 / Tatyova, Benthic Druid + Retreat to Coralhelm + Sakura-Tribe Scout / Llanowar Scout + Abundance : Play a land, use Aesi or Tatyova to dig for another land with Abundance. Put down the land with either of the Scouts. Use Retreat to untap the Scout, find another land with Abundance, rinse and repeat to put all lands from your deck onto the battlefield. Use the final land to fail to flip a land with Abundance and stack your deck in any you want. This basically results in letting you tutor for any card from the deck every single turn.

seshiro_of_the_orochi BRO! good find! literally an instant win. Churn your deck of lands and use the bounce combo to finish drawing your deck. XD

Does terramoprhic or fabled passage benefit from archeleos at all?
March 23, 2021 4:55 p.m.
Hbyhbyv: Yes you play the Passage, |1 Landfall|, Crack it find your basic |with archelos it will come in untapped| (2 Landfall) for your 1 land drop for the turn. GREAT synergy with Archelos. That's what makes him one of the more fun and budgeted landfall commanders.

Got something new for you: Tideforce Elemental is basically a second Retreat to Coralhelm .
June 11, 2021 10:41 a.m.
seshiro_of_the_orochi mmm good find. I'll try to find a slot for him. but cannot replace Coralhelm for Tideforce Elemental
June 11, 2021 11:50 a.m.
seshiro_of_the_orochi says... #24
You should definitely not replace one with the other. Retreat is important here, and Tideforce can be redundancy for it within the combo.
June 11, 2021 11:52 a.m.
seshiro_of_the_orochi what about swapping Springleaf Drum for Tideforce Elemental ?
