Here's the deal.

This was the first ever deck I built (and by built I mean I literally just threw every {RG} card I owned into a deck box and started playing). Perhaps once every two weeks I go back and throw a new card into this deck that I feel has more ~synergy~. It's better now than the deck I originally played with, but it's still a monstrosity. Just because it's been partially upgraded... doesn't necessarily mean it's any good. Oh well.

Deck Tech

Most people build plant boi with just straight landfall in mind, but while haphazardly throwing cards into my deck, I stumbled across a way to play that I personally find more fun.

I like to play Phylath as a +1/+1 counters deck more often than not, utilizing cards like The Ozolith and Ivy Lane Denizen to control my counters. Using The Ozolith to redistribute counters is particularly useful because it really enables creatures like Fertilid and Spike Weaver. Need ramp? Let your 16/17 Plant token die and drop 16 +1/+1 counters onto your Fertilid on your next combat, and then go crazy with the activations (thus granting you more landfall triggers and more counters... etc.).

If this seems complicated, it's okay. Just slap your counters onto plant boi and smash people with your 25/25 trample commander.

It's also a Gruul deck, so have fun with a lot of artifact/enchantment hate and big creatures for no particular reason.

Combos

While Ashaya, Soul of the Wild has many interesting uses, it's worth noting that it goes infinite with Karametra's Acolyte and Quirion Ranger. The infinite green mana generated has no outlet, so it is less useful than the infinite landfall triggers gained from this interaction.
