cEDH Tatyova Turns

Commander / EDH*

The endgame I am aiming for is to take infinite turns. There are several ways to achieve this:

1) Eternal Witness + Time Warp (or equivalent) + Words of Wind

2) Conqueror's Foothold + Time Warp (or equivalent) (obsolete now that I've taken Conqueror's Galleon   out of the maindeck)

3) Walk the Aeons + Azusa, Lost but Seeking (or equivalent) + Crucible of Worlds OR Ramunap Excavator

While all of these require a lot of setup, the way I anticipate getting there is by chaining extra turns into absurd card advantage into possibly more extra turns, etc.

There is also a combo that can draw the entire deck:

Sakura-Tribe Scout (or equivalent) + Retreat to Coralhelm + Tatyova, Benthic Druid + one of Simic Growth Chamber, Oboro, Palace in the Clouds or Ghost Town

Any other land you draw can replace one of the lands above for one iteration to net you mana in the process, making it easy to set up any of the combos above. Words of Wind prevents decking, and you can also bounce Tatyova herself if the trigger becomes a liability.

Currently, this is an entirely untested prototype, but I am hoping to get it to a point of cEDH viability. To that end, these are some points of uncertainty I would appreciate feedback on:

  • Is the ratio of basic lands to cards that care about basic lands about right?
  • Do I have the right balance between synergy and interaction?
  • What are the last cards I should cut?
  • Have I missed anything obvious? (I've already considered a lot of options, so if you don't see something you think should be there, it's likely that I at least thought about it. I might get into the reasoning behind notable omissions at some point.)

If I fail in my quest to make this cEDH viable, I would still enjoy the deck as a high-powered, but fair commander deck. I actually intended the deck to be casual when I started brewing, but then started thinking that the potential could actually be there to make it competitive. Let's hope I'm right!
