your missing the best planeswalker for this guy. Nyssa. you get all your lands out as 4/4s and another card out for each. with the baloth... Nissa, Worldwaker

Baloth Woodcrasher with Nissa, Worldwaker would be great in this deck

-Akhlys-, Baloth Woodcrasher would be subpar on this build. I've tested it and it did not make the cut.

I would run a Bloodstained Mire over the Rocky Tar Pit

arthurxisde says... #6

-Akhlys-, I would run all the related fetches, but this would blow my budget!

+1 if you liked the list!

Oracle of Mul Daya or Rites of Flourishing for additional land drops may be something that interests you.

Hey flluid, I don't like group hug cards such as Rites of Flourishing because it accelerates my opponents too. If I were to put another card with that effect it would be Gaea's Touch.

On the other hand, the Oracle is great filtering but I chose not to play it for budget reasons.

I like the deck, but a really awesome card for you to play if you have a bunch of Exploration and Budoka Gardener cards is Storm Cauldron. It slows your opponents down by massive amounts while you keep recycling your landfall triggers.

Another good card for Boundless Realms and Animist's Awakening effects is Amulet of Vigor. Another copy of that same(ish) effect is Genesis Wave. I'd put that in any green ramp deck.

Hey 101arg101, Storm Cauldron is marvelous! I will find room for it in the deck!

Amulet of Vigor, on the other hand, is a little pricey here, so I shall trade one in if I have the chance, but I won't buy it unless I find a really cheap one.

Amazing suggestions, man (:

As a fellow Omnath brother, can I ask you a favor? I added a up-vote button to my Primer description, but I have no idea if it is going to work. Can you try clicking it and let me know if it does anything? I would really be grateful!

Hey VexenX, I would've felt more comfortable if you had straight up asked me to upvote your deck.

-Akhlys- says... #13

With the amount of non permanents you are running, I would try running a Primal Surge. It will trigger landfall an obscene amount of times and get you some of your powerful cards most of the time. Love the deck list+1 from me

arthurxisde says... #14

Hey -Akhlys-, thanks! That's a great addition. I will definitely try it!

VexenX says... #15

arthurxisde: I'm sorry that my comment made you feel uncomfortable! I am really new to coding, and didn't really know if the button I made worked or not. I see that you voted on my deck, did you happen to use the button in my description? I still haven't gotten any feedback of if it works or not...

October 29, 2015 10:41 p.m. Edited.

arthurxisde says... #16

VexenX Don't sweat it. I used the button and it works (:

arthurxisde: Sweet! Thank you!

How is your deck doing?

October 30, 2015 12:06 a.m.

arthurxisde says... #18

Well VexenX, I'm a big target every game. My friends are good enough to know that you can't have Omnath on the table without being punished (that's why I keep Vexing Shusher on sideboard to deal with my heavy blue meta once in a while).

That being said, the deck fares very well. Specially if you consider it's a budget build. I have a 60/70% win rate with it, and the decks I play against are filled with mana crypt, mana drain and so on. What about yours?

Ever consider putting in Chandra's Ignition? It's another boardwipe option that lets you control, to some degree, how much you keep or lose. It'd be great for killing and burning with Omnath's tokens.

arthurxisde says... #20

Hey jturner582, I find it a bit underwhelming.

You could try and boost the elementals in this deck for more synergy. Suggestions either way:

Life from the Loam (combos stupidly with cycle lands and strip mines), Primal Beyond (if you have enough elementals, quite possible), Liege of the Tangle, Greenwarden of Murasa, Sylvan Safekeeper instead of the archetype, Song of the Dryads is good targeted removal, Realms Uncharted...

Either way, if you strive to have landfall, why don't you have lotus cobra in, or at least Courser of Kruphix, Oracle of Mul Daya?

Also, RG with land sac, so why not Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Scapeshift?

These guys (one and two) seem to have gotten a good idea, I suggest you look towards that idea. Also, if you're interested in elementals, how about looking up Horde of Notions decks? You seem to have several things in common with them.

arthurxisde says... #22

Well shermanido37, thanks for the thorough suggestions. I'm not using Loam simply because I'm not going the Crucible of Worlds path. I sacked Liege of the Tangle because I found it really underwhelming. It barely works without haste, which is not easy to find with the amount of lands I run. I have mul daya and Courser. Check the list carefully. Sylvan Safekeeper is better than archetype. I will definitely try it! Thank you for that!

I'm not really keen on spot removal like Song of the Dryads. Omnath does this job very well.

Scapeshift is not in because of money. Budget build. Valakut was an oversight. I getting one asap.

About Lotus Cobra shermanido37, it combos. I'm in a no combo mood with this one.

If you really want to abuse Omnaths abilities, use Embodiment of Spring

November 4, 2015 11:02 a.m.

Fligyn says... #25

It is a reg/green only deck though.
