If I may ask another question. Would you happen to have made a competitive Omnath Locus of Mana decklist as well??

Unfortunately, no. If you look at the link at the beginning of the deck description, you should be able to find a competitive decklist for it in the sample decklists there.

Thanks for pointing that out!
To be completely honest, I just forgot about those. I was always focused on the fetchable parts of the mana base that I neglected any additional fixing. I could probably slot them in for some snow Forests.
As for Survival, it got the ax as I was cutting creatures. The deck runs few enough creatures that I will have cast most of them to ramp things out or will otherwise not have any in my hand. While it is okay in the late game when I draw useless dorks, I would probably be better served by a Worldly Tutor, since I only run about 3 fetch targets anyway.

If I may ask a quick question. Currently, I am unable to get Wheel of Fortune, Mox Diamond, & Grim Monolith. So I am wondering what you feel would be good/decent replacement cards for those particular 3??

@MrChowder20 - You may :P
Mox Diamond is not particularly necessary for the deck if you change up your playstyle to focus more on Omnath. Ramping by one is only really useful in the early game when you want to drop (and then play under) Stax pieces ASAP. Feel free to cut it for a land or some slower ramp piece of your choice.
Grim Monolith can be cut for Seething Song or Tinder Wall. While these are a bit worse (and make countermagic hurt a bit more), they will usually get the job done in most high power EDH groups (as opposed to full power cEDH).
Wheel of Fortune is rather unique in red, so it is a lot harder to replace its slot. The closest thing to it would be Reforge the Soul. Depending on the power level you are playing in, it will range from a perfectly adequate replacement to a mildly annoying extra-two-mana-but-still-worth-running replacement.
This deck is constructed to be as optimal as possible without regard to budget (with the caveat in mind that I only have so much time to dedicate to Magic, be it playing or theory-crafting). My playgroup is okay with proxies, so I tend not to think about budget replacements, so take my advice with a grain of salt since I never tested budget versions of the deck.

Now that the Full List is out for Ravnica Allegiance, have you seen/thought about any cards you may add to your Angry Omnath decklist??

@MrChowder20 - Rampage of the Clans is the only thing I am considering. I have not tested how good it will be, especially considering it wipes away all Stax pieces and provides blockers to opponents.
Nothing else functions as an effective Stax piece or removal spell

Just like the last set, are there really any auto include cards in this set that you would put into Omnath at this moment??

No auto-includes thus far, but Emergency Zone and Karn, the Great Creator seem viable. Bolt Bend is cute, but Ricochet Trap would be put in first. There are not many single target abilities that I see needing the redirect.

I know Modern Horizions hasn't been fully released yet. But at this moment are there any cards you are thinking of adding to this decklist??

The deck had some retooling since I last updated it. I'll try to get it uploaded soon. From MH1, Collector Ouphe is 100% going in, since it's a more tutorable Null Rod . Goblin Engineer helps tutor for hate pieces, so it is likely going in. Llanowar Tribe is under consideration, though it is harder to cast than Somberwald Sage . Prismatic Vista is going in, probably for a basic. Shenanigans is a consideration based on the meta, but likely won't make it in. Frostwalk Bastion is a consideration because it can block Tymna decks and whatnot. Reap the Past and Mox Tantalite are strong enough to go in budget lists, though I would probably add Seasons Past to a budget list before Reap. Wrenn and Six will require testing, but I am not optimistic about a walker that needs 4 turns to ult with a mediocre +1.

MrChowder20 - I updated the sideboard with some options from the last few sets if you don't want to wait for the main board to update.

Hi there. Great updates. I play a very similar list. Ouphe was also an easy include for me. Actually considering let go of grim monolith after adding Ouphe. Will also try to fit in the Goblin - seems really good too even you show what is comming. Have you considered including faithless loothing and/or magmatic insight? I often feel playing one of these is amazing - maybe instead of elemental bond which of course is great value in addition to greater good after casting Omnath. Do you ever use the abilty of Mina and Denn - or is it the body - since letting this stay over Azusa? And do you get value out of scrying sheets? I never had much luck and skipped it for a basic.

I was just curious if you would ever make a competitive decklist around the recent released card Omnath, Locus of the Roil??

CommanderDD - Looting has been a consideration, but I usually would cut it to test other cards. I can see it making its way back in. Insight ends up being too restrictive since you can't pitch mana dorks in the late game and lands at least turn into 5/5s. Mina and Denn has been useful for grinding out games with 5/5s. The trample has also been useful against planeswalkers. Scrying Sheets has indeed been lackluster, so it will probably get cut along with Into the North . Neither card has been pulling its weight. Manamorphose was never a consideration. Neither the fixing nor the cantrip/deckthinning are necessary for the deck.
MrChowder20 - Probably not. Omnath, Locus of the Roil is fairly weak since its best uses are as a weak Tatyova or as an Elemental tribal deck. It either takes too long to get going or is running sub-par cards.

Just overall curious, but have there been any changes to the decklist??

With spoilers happening for M21, one of the most recent cards spoiled is Garruk Uprising. I just want to ask would consider taking out elemental bond in place of Garruk Uprising?

MrChowder20 - Unfortunately, I stopped playing with the deck a while ago. The post-Flash meta has slowed down enough to be able to deal with the stax. I might pick up the deck again another time, but for now, I'm kind of bored of it and won't be updating it for the foreseeable future.

MrChowder20 says... #25
What are your thoughts on adding "Allosaurus Shepherd" to the decklist? And if so what would be cut, "I think maybe Caustic Caterpillar, or Sakura-Tribe Elder"? But that just my two cents.
