Needs more Genesis Wave. You have a low count of instants/sorceries and an overall low cmc(for EDH).

How about Primal Vigor? It is another doubling season style effect, but doesn't hit walkers. Hardened Scales isn't a doubler but it is good with graft/evolve. Kalonian Hydra is a great doubler. I really like Inexorable Tide in a blue deck with walkers. If you want to get into -1/-1 counters I would recommend Contagion Engine over Contagion Clasp, but both do give you proliferation.

Overbeing of Myth add it. 5 mana for a 7/7 that draws you an extra card is amazing.

@horatio13 Thank you for the suggestion - what would you replace for Overbeing of Myth?

Take out Crucible of Worlds it is only good against land destruction which is not popular at all in EDH.

@horatio13

Pls stop talking about something you don't know. Every meta is different. Also crucible of worlds is not only good in land destruction. Pls don't talk unless you are 100% sure of what you speak. He has a lot of play additional land cards, and fetch lands... do you understand that? Did you look at the list? He even has fucking Lotus Cobra... do you know how that works?

Plus idk what EDH deck doesn't run at the very least Strip Mine. It's also card advantage and deck thinning for him. Means he top decks better shit off his draws. He ramps out hard and gets his game plans out, while still having mana for control aspects. Every EDH game I've sat at, there's always some one with land base destruction.

If you don't read descriptions (which btw I didn't, I just read it after I looked over at the deck and understood before the description what he was doing.. this is EDH green staple shit he's doing) then you would know that before spouting crap like that. Don't be ignorant please, and read up on the descriptions.. it's why they are there.

That being said nice deck man, I like it. It's not the usual control stax type Damia deck, or pure combo. One thing though, maybe a Wasteland instead of tectonic edge. Maybe even a Reflecting Pool instead of a City of Brass. I think your mana base is good enough to put in RP instead of CoB.

@KillTheIslandUser Thank you - I find it quite interesting myself. Before I buffed it, it was quite underwhelming (all +1 counters, no control, and mediocre landbase).

You are right about my motives for Crucible of Worlds, excellent that you spend the time clearing that up.

The reason I'm using Tectonic Edge is that I don't have a single Wasteland in my collection! I'll replace it once I acquire one :)

Have you considered adding Sage of Hours? It'll probably become a target, but if you can manage to protect it, I think it could produce some very interesting results.

If you want to double counters you could add Vorel of the Hull Clade, Inexorable Tide, or Gilder Bairn

KillTheIslandUser, no need to be so rude, I didn't realize that Crucible of Worlds could be used with fetch lands, and in my meta whoever starts destroying lands gets targeted by the guy who plays 5 basic lands in a rainbow sliver-deck. Now I know that every meta is different and all i made was a mistake no need to explode over it.

June 30, 2015 5:23 p.m.

@Horatio13

Then you should ask about why it's in there. Also again it's a card that belongs in a lot more EDH decks for pure utility, because a lot of lands are extremely important to protect. Every EDH should have a strip mine, plain and simple.

@KillTheIslandUser

I don't know, man. I don't even own a Strip Mine, and my EDH games have always turned out fine.

Although i would run it if I had it...

July 1, 2015 1:22 a.m.

A lot of things depend on local metas. When you see storm, 5 color hermit druid, ad naseum (i'm classifying this differently from storm), retarded reanimators, Muzio, Dagon, stax. The strip mine, wastelands, dustbowls, can mean all the difference.

The deck I run in those events isn't on here for the fact I use this site to create more fun, yet still slightly competitive decks. Also when I first started in commander I have a lot of decks that still need to be reworked. They have bad mana bases and such, but I keep them up cause they have good bases to work with for people who want to play decks similar to it. I should go back on them and fix them up honestly.

horatio13, Overbeing of Myth wouldn't actually draw you an extra card because damia says skip your draw step, and Overbeing of Myth draws a card at your draw step.

MrHighscore says... #15

@cman7 thanks for clearing that up. I could probably loose some of the more expensive draw cards (in favor of +1 counters flavor), as Damia, Sage of Stone is a pretty good engine herself.

Cheers

MrHighscore says... #16

Focus on draw has been a little too much, with Damia, Sage of Stone as general. I've added in a defense and some more counter creatures:

+1 Asceticism, +1 Vulturous Zombie, +1 Spiritmonger

-1 Give / Take, -1 Silklash Spider, -1 Garruk, Primal Hunter

I'll see if I can remove some additional draw in the near future.

Nice! Those are some good additions.

Crucible of Worlds is a brilliant card if you use fetch lands or if there is any chance of milling or land destruction in your meta.

Kalonian Hydra and Nylea, God of the Hunt. All the +1/+1 counters in the world mean nothing if you put it up against a 1/1 deathtoucher.

Overbeing of Myth is good and all, except Damia makes you skip your draw step.

What about Phyrexian Arena? It draws you extra cards with no draw step needed, and you can stack the triggers such that you can have 8 cards in hand (I think).

August 10, 2015 3:15 p.m.

MrHighscore says... #23

Thank you for your suggestions.

@Quicksilver good suggestions! I'll find room for them.

@Coinman1863 I'm trying to reduce draw in the deck, since all I need is to get my commander online, so I won't be adding Phyrexian Arena.

Changes:

Praetor's Counsel --> Nylea, God of the Hunt

Blue Sun's Zenith --> Kalonian Hydra
