Welcome to my little deck (well, if a commander deck can be small).

This deck is all about playing druids. Druids, druids and even more druids. Our good old friend Seton is pretty good at that.

Druids

The best way to play druids is from your hand. And the best way to get druids in your hand is to have a lot of them in your deck. Therefore, we got 30*.

18 of those only cost and because Seton doesn't care about summoning sickness we can tap the druids that we have just played with his ability. This means that one-mana druids basically are free.

Some of these also has minor utility abilities, ( Village Elder , Druid Lyrist etc.) but their main purpose is just to make mana.

The last nine either make incredible amounts of mana ( Priest of Titania , Karametra's Acolyte ) or draws you cards. Which leads us to the next section.

*Be aware that some of the old cards like Birchlore Rangers are druids even though the card doesn't say it. If a card in the "Druids" section doesn't say druid on it, its because it has been errata'ed to be a druid.

Draw

The absolute most important part of this deck. One card per turn isn't neaelyr enough when 1/5 of your deck is one-mana 1/1s.

All the druids are extremely cheap, and when they all make mana, you will empty your hand in no time.

We have three kinds of draw cards:

One-use draw cards: These are cards that draw when we play them, and does nothing else than that ( Regal Force , Harmonize etc.). These isn't the best, but we really need to draw some cards

Activated draw cards: Cards that draw cards when we activate them. there's only three of those, Slate of Ancestry , Skullclamp and Arch of Orazca .

The Arch of Orazca is just here to help us get back into the game if everything gets destroyed or something like that. Slate of Ancestry and Skullclamp are probably the two best draw engines in the deck. If left unanswered, these will most likely win us the game

Triggered draw cards: these draw you cards whenever we play a druid. these include Primordial Sage , Vanquisher's Banner and Recycle . The overall most important draw cards. It’s just fantastic to tap a druid, play a druid, draw a druid, and repeat. We will also often run into more draw cards, which runs you into more druids, which draws you more cards.

Removal

We're playing magic, so we need at least a little bit of removal. We can't have much though, since it will ruin the consistency. Lignify can be tutored with Treefolk Harbinger if you need it.

Wincons

So when you have an enormous amount of druids, the next step is to win. Actually, this is the least fun part in my opinion. The best part is to just make lots of mana, play lots of cards and draw lots of cards. But we need to do something with our druids once we've got them on the board.

Triumph of the Hordes and Coat of Arms : These cards are obviously very good, and they're probably some of the best game-enders in EDH. Overwhelming Stampede and Beastmaster Ascension are not quite as good, but can be very devastating too.

A much more fun way to win though is with Aetherflux Reservoir . It's especially effective in one on one situations, where we just need to finish off one opponent.

Another wincon that i really like is Throne of the God-Pharaoh . But if we play it too early in the game, someone will probably recognize it as a threat and destroy it, so we need to be careful. This is one of the only wincons that doesn't rely on combat, and thats really important. I often wait until I have enough druids to oneshot everybody with it before playing it.

A little note: English isn't my first language, so I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes in this text :)

Thank you very much for visiting my deck! If you like it, be sure to upvote, and if you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to comment :)
