---

Ramp is sweet, and a commander that ramps for each creature that is played is even sweeter.

Gameplan: Play Karametra as soon as possible, play creatures, ramp mana, draw cards, get landfall triggers, protect all my stuff, wipe the board, recur stuff, make stuff indestructible, endure almost anything, then at some point maybe swing with creatures for the win or something.

Has very few instants and sorceries because of Primal Surge, although maybe replacing that with a Genesis Wave would be better to allow for some more instants and sorceries.

Mana curve is a bit high at this point, especially crowded at the 6 drop spot. Often I have not much to play in the turns before I play Karametra, and only casting one spell the turn after I cast her feels very slow. Could use some more speed, but I don't want to put in too many cards that only ramp, because they're only good in the opening hand and almost useless when Karametra is out.

Could also use some ways to actually win the game besides just going overboard with value. Not sure though.

Synergies and mic effects: Obviously anything with landfall and anything that puts lands into play. Tireless Tracker counts too, an especially fine new addition. Others include Stonecloaker and Whitemane Lion to ramp a billion times before my turn starts and sometimes protect my stuff or hate on raveyards. Temur Sabertooth basically does everything, from reusing my etb triggers or protecting my creatures, to being quite the dickish combo with cards like Magus of the Disk and Myojin of Cleansing Fire. For those, Yavimaya Hollow and Avacyn, Angel of Hope are quite good as well.

Possible candidates for later inclusion: Duskwatch Recruiter  , Deal Broker, Wood Elves, Emeria Angel, Woodland Bellower, Bane of Progress, Angel of Glory's Rise, Genesis Wave, and one of the many Garruks out there.
