Commander / EDH*

Teekith


Maybeboard

Artifact (2)

Creature (1)


No time for stabilization. No time for Hexproof. Go, Go, GooOooo! Green is the Gasoline of Life.
Get huge, draw deep, find a finisher, and then kill everyone at the table.

Get Huge:
General Mana Dorks, Mana Doublers and Ramp. Of Note:Traverse the Outlands
Bossman + Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
(Umbral Mantle or Staff of Domination) + (Karametra's Acolyte or Magus of the Candelabra or Selvala, Heart of the Wilds or Elvish Archdruid or Priest of Titania or Argothian Elder or Viridian Joiner) + conditional boardstate.
Elvish Guidance + Wirewood Lodge + Argothian Elder

Draw Deep:
Momentous Fall, Life's Legacy, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Rishkar's Expertise, Soul's Majesty, Lifeblood Hydra, Greater Good, and Hunter's Insight

Find a Finisher: (assuming Omnath is huge and remember we are killing everyone at the same time)
Direct Damage:
(Momentous Fall or Predator's Rapport) + (Hurricane or Squall Line)
Bossman + Surestrike Trident + (Umbral Mantle or Staff of Domination) ..Lulz..

Battle Cruise and go Deep and Wide:
Bossman + (Dragon Throne of Tarkir or Pathbreaker Ibex or Overwhelming Stampede) + (some mooks or Hydra Omnivore)
Bossman + Hydra Broodmaster + (Concordant Crossroads or Akroma's Memorial)

Removal:
The removal package with this deck is diverse and potent. This package is designed to prevent game locks and to be used for bargaining. There is a category called Mutually Assured Destruction. These cards are artifacts should be played in advance to prevent player aggression and used as political clout if activated in response to an aggresive action. "It's not my fault that you attacked me and made me clear everyone's board"

There are more finishers. I'm too lazy to type more. If Bossman dies try to flash him back in to keep the mana pool from emptying. There is some recursion to recover from board wipes. There are a few Max Hand cards in case you drink too deeply of the Green Gasoline. MEDIOCRE!!!!

Take a chance, make yourself the target, and laugh if you win.

A comment on Meta and Realism:
The reason I love playing Omnath, the Mana Locust is because of the variety of playstyles one can generate with this deck. Voltron/unblockable, Elfball go wide, dump massive creatures and swing big, etc etc. This variation is a reckless all out combo deck. I had just watch Mad Max when I started working on this variation. The deck needs a lot to fit into your meta and mine. I would like to list some side board options to include varying degrees of flexibility.

The Staple:
Sol Ring

Removal Heavy Meta: (avoid shroud if possible, we wanna target Omnath a lot)
Heroic Intervention I like the reactionary protections to draw out opponent's resources.
Soul of New Phyrexia
Archetype of Endurance
Asceticism
Swiftfoot Boots
Champion's Helm
Mask of Avacyn
Ranger's Guile

Counter Heavy Meta:
Mishra's Helix Careful with this one. It falls into the ‘just let me play magic’ card type
Autumn's Veil
City of Solitude
Conqueror's Flail
Hall of Gemstone Careful with this one. It falls into the ‘just let me play magic’ card type
Savage Summoning
Gaea's Herald
Insist
Leyline of Lifeforce
Prowling Serpopard

Tutors: The reason why I run so few of these is the massive card draw that I am anticipating. A few tutors will go along way to make this deck work more efficiently. There are too many to list. I will just point out my favorites

Insurance Policy:
