Also, I would recommend Spidersilk Armor over Gravity Well .

looks pretty sick you should change yer general to Azusa, Lost but seeking

she would get you the mana you'll need for massive green take over, i've seen her in action before let me tell yah you get 6 lands on turn three when you play her it's pretty wild how out of control she can be.

just somethin to mull over in yer mind is all

food for thought.

also i would drop a few of those elves that let you search for a basic land, or tap and search for a basic land... you would do better to use a land that would allow you to drop more than one land per turn. i would (if this were my deck) cut those useless elves and put i "sakura tribe scout: tap put another land into play, not to be confused with tribe elder, also just as usefull but only a 1 shotter. or Land: Terrain Generator: (2)> put a basic land from yer hand into play tapped.

if azusa was yer general then you would be dropping up to 5 extra lands per turn, think of the "landfall triggers" you could gain from that, lotus cobra would be at +5, etc. i have an enchantment in my white/green EDH (Tolsamir Bloodwolf) it says: if you would draw a card you can instead search your library for a basic land card and put it into play, this does not count as your land card for the turn.

sylvan library would do you a great deal,sensei's devining top would help as well,

for your artifact excell, get rid of the ones that don't multiply your mana, you want to focus into swelling your opponents with mana

Extraplanar Lens would help big time, especially with the Gauntlet of Power and Caged Suns.

you would do well with skull clamp, it'll let you draw cards if your units die,

and last but not least for the best tutor i can offer you, PATTERN OF REBIRTH, look it up then enchant a sackable creature to reap multi triggers.

This is just my opinion but I would change your general. Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger gets alot of heat in EDH/Commander because of his abilities. Put him into the deck but somehow make it easier to get him into your hand/ get him back from your graveyard. Maybe put Omnath or Thrun as your general instead?? Some cards to consider from M12 are Garruk, Primal Hunter , card:Hunter's Insight, card:Garruk's Horde, Primordial Hydra , Rites of Flourishing , and Skinshifter .

did a quick playtest just with this deck alone (kinda defeats the purpose but its fun to see what would happen under perfect conditions).

134 trample damage turn 10. Vorinclex + Howl of the Night Pack + Wolfbriar Elemental kicked 11 times = kill everybody. :O

+1 just for that sheer number

I actually really like it. +1 just cuz its green doing what green does best.

I would axe Gauntlet of Power simply b/c it can benefit your opponent(s). I would also consider adding Primal Cocoon . It's a simple sleeper card that people tend to overlook.

Gauntlet of Power should stay. Most EDH decks will only have 10 or 15 basic lands in them. I think the benefits (especially while playing Green, which is already ramping a ton) outweigh the negative aspects of the card.

Primal Cocoon is awful. I wouldn't even run it my Aura EDH deck.

permhole96 says... #10

might i suggest Cultivate insteade of Deep Reconnaissance.however you spell it. it is the same mana drop for a land to your hand and a land to the battlefield...

if you make this change, let me know and ill give it a +1 if you can give my EDH dragon deck +1

July 4, 2011 2:11 a.m.

permhole96 says... #11

my bad, i see you do have cultivate in. my bad. if you could give my dragon deck a +1 tho, i will give this deck like 5 +1s (courtsy of friends)

yyuyyy says... #12

i think it needs more lands.... some possibilities are Arena (which could also help against flying), some fetchlands, Contested War Zone , Khalni Garden , maybe Dark Depths , Dryad Arbor , if ystart playing more eldrazis Eye of Ugin , card:Gaea's Cradle, Hall of the Bandit Lord , Havenwood Battleground , Hickory Woodlot , Hollow Trees , Island of Wak-Wak (agaisnt flying), Jungle Basin , Llanowar Reborn , Mosswort Bridge , Rushwood Grove , Sapseep Forest , Slippery Karst , Strip Mine ], Temple of the False God , Tranquil Thicket , Tree of Tales , or Treetop Village .

While I appreciate the suggestions, I have never had a problem with the land.

SandyDufresne says... #14

Any ideas why this deck is classified as "legacy." Do I have anything that is banned in Commander/EDH?

It might be because you have Vorinclex both as your general and is in your deck. I believe to set up EDH/Commander decks on here, you have to have a 99 card deck and designate your general separately.

As far as the lands situation; regardless of why you may or you may not need more lands for your particular playgroup (for whatever reasons), you should have more lands in it. 28 is too few, even for a mono green deck with 8-10 ramp spells. One LD spell is game over for you. Especially considering your deck doesn't really start to drop anything until 3-5 mana.

I mean what do you do; mull til you have 3 lands in hand? Because I can't imagine you getting 3 lands in your opener more than maybe 10% of the time.

What do you do if one of your ramp spells are countered? Just sit there and fold?

I'd drop some of the top end creatures that are most likely unnecessary and put in some more land (or artifact ramp). At least 4 or 5 more lands would help you immensely. You don't need 25 win conditions, especially when your general is a pretty big wincon by himself.

This is remnant of my own mono green EDH deck that had Dosan the Falling Leaf as a general.

suggestions:

Kaysa , Silvos, Rogue Elemental , Multani, Maro-Sorcerer , Meng Huo, Barbarian King , Sakura-Tribe Elder , Acidic Slime , Artisan of Kozilek , Genesis , Eternal Witness , Krosan Tusker , Mystifying Maze , Maze of Ith , Woodfall Primus , Abundance , Survival of the Fittest , card:Praetor's Counsel, Constant Mists , Krosan Grip , Duplicant ,

Even though he is banned as a general, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary is good just as well

zandl says... #17

card:Garruk's Horde, Garruk, Primal Hunter , card:Hunter's Insight, Dungrove Elder , Rites of Flourishing , Primordial Hydra , and Skinshifter are all great options from M12 that I think you should at least consider.

July 18, 2011 1:34 p.m.

Panglacial Wurm belongs in this deck! With all the seeking that you will be doing for lands, you can play it at any time you have 7 extra mana, which should be just about any time. Gives you a free cast when land seeking.

I would seriously consider Collective Voyage . You would be giving lands to other people to but you would be drawing fatties for the rest of the game.

SandyDufresne says... #20

Very true. I think I'll add it.

nsecord says... #21

it's so yummy :)

+1 fo sho

@ Vaevictus

My only problem with that card is what if you face against a lot of field wipes. My Naya deck alone has Armageddon , Obliterate , Jokulhaups , and Decree of Annihilation because im an asshole. Definitely run Crucible of Worlds .

Beahr says... #23

Is this your first EDH????

cause were is the Sol Ring , or any other mana producing artifact.

and for god sake man pick up a Mana Reflection it will do wonders.

August 5, 2011 2:46 a.m.

SandyDufresne says... #24

First of all, I have a Sol Ring but it's in another deck. Also, with all the mana accelerators, I have never lacked for mana so I don't feel that I need any artifact mana. If you look in the enchantments, third for the bottom, you will see that Mana Reflection is already in the deck.
