Introduction

My new alternate Omnath build based on A Michael Bay Film, Omnath: Age of Explosions! v4. Also, check out 8x8 Theory: Omnath, Locus of Rage which is mentioned in YouTube video "5 New Ways to Improve EDH Deckbuilding" by TheTsoTsoGamer. Hyperlinks aren't working in the description so here is the link:

Primer lite! Just note that my playgroup is full of a$$holes and their decks say it all. I just want to stay competitive with those jerks, so I must ask for your help, from all of you in the MtG community, to help construct the best Omnath deck! Any and all suggestions are welcome. Together as a community, you can help make it possible to crown me, king a$$hole, of my playgroup. Please, don't forget to upvote!

Opponents

Some of the commander decks I face regularly would be: Scion of the Ur-Dragon , The Gitrog Monster , Norin the Wary , Atraxa, Praetors' Voice , Jhoira of the Ghitu , Talrand, Sky Summoner , Vial Smasher the Fierce , Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons , Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind , Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim , Rashmi, Eternities Crafter , Maelstrom Wanderer , Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper , Sliver Overlord , Sharuum the Hegemon , Uril, the Miststalker , Geist of Saint Traft , Ramos, Dragon Engine , Thada Adel, Acquisitor , Taigam, Ojutai Master , Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder + Kraum, Ludevic's Opus , Akiri, Line-Slinger + Silas Renn, Seeker Adept , Sakashima the Impostor , Mina and Denn, Wildborn , Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest , Thrasios, Triton Hero , Grand Warlord Radha , Savra, Queen of the Golgari , Athreos, God of Passage , Ghalta, Primal Hunger , Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Tatyova, Benthic Druid .

Strategy

Operation: Omnath, Locus of Armageddon! The game plan is simple. The goal is to ramp as much as possible early on, cast Omnath on turn 3-5. Build a comfortable board state and unleash the fury of land destruction. Use such cards as Splendid Reclamation , World Shaper , Life from the Loam , Crucible of Worlds and/or Ramunap Excavator to reclaim your lands. Punish those who reject your claim to the a$$hole throne with Price of Glory and War's Toll . Your army of elementals are willing to lay down their lives for you, let not their sacrifice be in vain... With Omnath in play, use a sac outlet such as Dragon Broodmother , Goblin Bombardment , Greater Good , Perilous Forays , Phyrexian Altar or Skullmulcher and sacrifice those elementals to either decimate the enemy army or unleash your rage on the enemy tyrant. For total Armageddon use Lotus Cobra /Amulet of Vigor + Perilous Forays or Tooth and Nail for Avenger of Zendikar + Craterhoof Behemoth for world domination.

Decklist

COMMANDER

• Omnath, Locus of Rage : Landfall triggers to produce elementals. With a sac outlet in play, sacrifice the elementals to trigger 3 damage to a players face or to clear a threat on the board.

MASS DESTRUCTION

• Destructive Force : A great option to clear creatures from the board and disrupt land bases.
• Bane of Progress : Destroy all artifacts and enchantments to make a big fatty.
• Keldon Firebombers : Land destruction on a 3/3 body.
• Rite of Ruin : Choices are situational, but I tend to choose, sac (1) creature, sac (2) artifacts and sac (3) lands.
• Shatterstorm : Mass artifact destruction that nullifies regeneration.
• Subterranean Tremors : A great option for a board wipe and to clear the board of artifacts when is paid for . If Omnath has been handled and we have the mana, I tend to pay the to get an 8/8 fatty lizard.
• Thoughts of Ruin : This is my personal favorite land destruction spell. Everyone sacrifices lands based on our hand size. Super back breaking when played early on.
• Wave of Vitriol : Disrupts 3+ colored decks. Mass destruction and replaces non basic lands with basic lands. Extra landfall triggers for Omnath.
• Wildfire : Clears a good amount of creatures and everyone sacs 4 lands.

CHAOS

• Price of Glory : Shuts down our opponent’s instant speed play on everyone’s turn but their own. Also, a sneaky way to get elementals out of Titania, Protector of Argoth just by tapping our lands on an opponent’s turn.
• War's Toll : Our opponents think twice on tapping lands and attacking.

DRAW

• Elemental Bond : Our elementals make this a great draw engine.
• Life's Legacy : Sacrifice a 5/5 elemental, deal 3 damage, draw 5 cards.
• Nissa, Vital Force : Extremely easy to activate the emblem to draw off of landfalls. Leave the 5/5 land body as a blocker to protect Nissa.
• Rishkar's Expertise : Good draw and cast a free spell that is or less.
• Sensei's Divining Top : Helps stack the top three of our library. Occasionally used to draw in top decking situations.
• Shamanic Revelation : Fantastic draw and HUGE life gain if our board is overflowing with elementals.
• Skullmulcher : Honestly, this might get replaced, but I wanted an additional way to sac elementals and gain an advantage. Draw big and create a fatty.
• Tireless Tracker : Another way to draw and make a fatty at the same time.
• Wheel of Fortune : Depleted hand, no worries! Everyone discard their hands and draw 7.

LAND RAMP

• Azusa, Lost but Seeking : Allows for an additional two lands to be played on our turn. Great tech when we have Crucible of Worlds / Ramunap Excavator and a fetchland in our graveyard.
• Cultivate : Grab two basic lands from our library, one into play tapped and one to play later.
• Exploration : Extra land to play on our turn.
• Explosive Vegetation : Ramp two basic lands from our library into play tapped.
• Farseek : Grab a dual land from our library, typically Sheltered Thicket , since that would enter tapped anyway.
• Harrow : Sac a land and put two basic lands from our library into play. They are untapped and nice to use to cast another low cost ramp spell.
• Khalni Heart Expedition : Very easy to get three counters on it with our fetchlands. Remove the three counters and ramp two basics from our library into play tapped.
• Kodama's Reach : A now and later ramp spell that grabs us two basic lands.
• Myriad Landscape : This land helps us ramp two basic lands of the same type from our library. Better when used for landfall triggers.
• Nature's Lore : I tend to grab a dual land with this spell.
• Nissa's Pilgrimage : A now and later ramp spell for two basic forests. If spell mastery is active grab an additional basic forest.
• Sakura-Tribe Elder : Use to chump block, then sacrifice, then put a basic land from our library into play tapped.
• Skyshroud Claim : My personal favorite ramp spell to cast and follow up with another low cost ramp spell.

MANA ACCELERATION

• Birds of Paradise : Taps for any one color mana.
• Elvish Mystic : Taps for one .
• Frontier Siege : This might get replaced with Carpet of Flowers , in the meantime, we choose khans to generate two mana on each of our main phases.
• Fyndhorn Elves : Taps for one .
• Llanowar Elves : Taps for one .
• Neheb, the Eternal : Get flooded with mana after dealing damage to our opponents. Best when mana is used to cast a land destruction spell.
• Sol Ring : Taps for two
• Somberwald Sage : Mainly used to help cast Omnath on a very early turn.

RECURSION

• Crucible of Worlds : Play our lands from our graveyard. Fetchlands make great work with this.
• Life from the Loam : Return three lands from the graveyard to our hand. Dredge to return and recast.
• Ramunap Excavator : Another option to play our lands from our graveyard, but on a body.
• Seasons Past : Return cards from the graveyard to our hand.
• Splendid Reclamation : After casting land destruction, gain huge land advantage by returning all land cards from our graveyard into play.
• World Shaper : Use a sac outlet to sacrifice and return all of our lands from the graveyard into play.

TOKENS

• Rampaging Baloths : Landfall to get 4/4 beasts.
• Titania, Protector of Argoth : Land destruction is her best friend! Create 5/3 elementals whenever our lands hit the graveyard. When she ETB’s I like to grab a fetchland from the graveyard and crack it for an immediate 5/3.

REMOVAL

• Gruul Ragebeast : Our elementals ETB and fight our opponent’s creatures to keep the board clear.
• Hellkite Tyrant : Deal combat damage to take control of player’s artifacts who was dealt the damage. This can be an additional WinCon with the clue tokens produced by Tireless Tracker . Have 20 artifacts on your upkeep and win!
• Strip Mine : Destroy target land. Works great with a Crucible of Worlds / Ramunap Excavator and Azusa, Lost but Seeking / Exploration to continue to destroy an opponent’s land base.

SAC OUTLET

• Dragon Broodmother : One of my personal favorite creatures in this deck. Get a 1/1 dragon with devour 2 every upkeep! Get a fat dragon by devouring the other 1/1’s and any elementals on the field. Devour on the opponent’s upkeep, right before our turn to make this dragon combat ready.
• Goblin Bombardment : Get additional damage in when we sac our elementals.
• Greater Good : Sac an elemental to draw five then discard three. Sac outlet with draw is a win/win for us.
• Phyrexian Altar : Sac a creature and add one color of our choosing to our mana pool. Use to cast additional spells when we are low on mana.

TUTOR

• Green Sun's Zenith : I use this to ramp on turn 1 for Dryad Arbor . Other uses are to save it for Lotus Cobra or Somberwald Sage to get an early Omnath.
• Tooth and Nail : Main use is to entwine the spell then grab and put into play Avenger of Zendikar and Craterhoof Behemoth for overwhelming damage.

FATTY

• Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar : Get a huge ol’ fatty based on the amount of lands we have in play and the lands that are in our graveyard. Trample and reach, what a beast!

PROTECTION

• Boseiju, Who Shelters All : Use to protect our land destruction spells that we are attempting to cast.
• Vexing Shusher : Protect any spell from being countered.

SEMI-COMBO/WIN CON

• Amulet of Vigor /Lotus Cobra + Perilous Forays : Deals tons of damage and puts all of our basic lands from our library into play.
• Avenger of Zendikar + Craterhoof Behemoth : Cast Tooth and Nail with the entwine cost, to put into play this WinCon.
• Scapeshift : Works best with Omnath and Titania, Protector of Argoth in play, to generate overwhelming elemental power! I always grab Gaea's Cradle and any fetchland I can with this spell.
