Love the deck! Don't know if you missed the card Monstrous Onslaught, but it seems too insanely good to not play it. It's basically a green onesided board wipe in this deck!

@Oeselbroesel sweet card I did miss it. I'll try it out. I can see this getting almost an entire board with Multani

Other cards I suggest:
Scour from Existence is a colorless removal any mono colored deck can play if the mana is there.
Scavenger Grounds is a card I included in every deck of mine which don't run black. Exiling all graves at instant speed is great! I'll happily sac my own grave in order to keep playing.

Better believe you're running Rites of Flourishing.

@ZendikariWol although it seems fun and kinda what I want to do but its not because I am not helping other players ramp. No way no how.

You could use more artifact ramp and small creatures, average cmc 5 is not the best.

The deck ramps so hard that it doesn't matter that the average cmc is around 4.75 and as for artifact ramp I have thought about it really hard. I like thinning the deck out with land ramp not only is that good but with all the mana doublers lands work out for the better.

Hi! great list, i always loved multani and molimo. Do you think eldrazi temple is worth it for 2 eldrazis on the deck? its just in europe is like 10$ and is not a commander staple, so im reticent to buy it, what do you think?

are you going to put the new Multani that comes in Dominaria in your deck? (Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar) Or even replace it as your commander? ;-)

@Ralsek. It's in there for good reason. I can think of 3 good reasons for it Artisan of Kozilek, Void Winnower, Platinum Emperion. The void can create a small lock or make multiple creatures you control unblockable, the artisan can grab some really important creature from the graveyard and put it in the battlefield and it's straight value town. And the platinum emperion can keep you alive if needed. Honestly I've never used it so it wouldn't hurt to remove it from the deck.
@thijmnesoy, I want to for flavor reasons but it doesn't fit in except it's a big creature. Currently Nylea, God of the Hunt is on the chopping block. So if I feel like trying it out that's where it will slot in

You know what @Ralsek? On second thought, I think that new multani could be used as an alternative cmdr for this deck. But I also think, if I were to make a more competitive version of this deck. I think the new multani would certainly make a better for this deck. You know what makes it more strong. Good lands. Maybe use cards like depletion lands, or lands like Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, where they can come in untapped but do serious ramp.
Picture this. Your devotion to is 8. You have new multani in the graveyard. You have nykthos shrine to nyx in play. You activate it, make 8. Use 2 of it to activate multani's ability. Returning those tapped lands to your hand and multani to you hand. Play the nykthos shrine to nyx for the first land you've played this turn. Activate nykthos shrine of nyx again and make 8 netting you a total 14 mana
I think with the right build he would make a great cmdr a better one for a deck that looks like and acts like a lot like this...
Good shit @thijmnesoy
Picture a deck like this that utilizes the new multani as sac fodder for gains with cards like Greater Good or Feed the Pack

I like this deck, and I always have a soft spot for mono-green, but do you think you will change the general here to the new Multani? Trample means a lot on something that big.

Well I'm not changing the CMDR. I actually think by not having trample on the cards make people think they are safe. Multani has shroud so he isn't easy to get rid of so the usual solution is to keep up a blocker for multani. But as you can see with multiple was to create evasion that having a blocker will not be enough.

Hey! Coming back to you with more suggestions...
Cavern of Souls to stop them from countering your commander. Im not sure what his creature type is though
Ancient Tomb > Temple of the false g-ds

Profet93 maybe Ancient Tomb. My cmdr doesn't usually get countered so Cavern of Souls maybe not.

This looks very fun to play. Since I encountered Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma as a commander, I know how great playing mono green feels. The teddybear could do good work in your 99 as well, as she cheapens many creatures in the deck.

The nostalgia kicks in! I cracked one myself back in the days when we bought single boosters being poor students. I think I still have it somewhere...
How prevalent is mass removal in your meta? Jolrael's Favor could be a card that can easily save your commander from a boardwipe when noone expects it.
Darksteel Plate and Heroic Intervention are also options.
