Hey, folks. I'm building a series of Commander decks based upon the four seasons, both thematically and mechanically. Since summer's already here, I've decided to try and make the deck for the fall.

There are a few levels of the the ties to the theme. Firstly, the colours. The deck is BUG: Blue, because it's starting to rain more (at least where I am), Black, because plants are beginning to die, and Green, because there are still things alive.

Secondly, the mechanics of the deck are tied to the season. As previously mentioned, life is starting to die. So I decided to put in removal, both spot and mass, as well as sacrifice effects, and deathtouch. Additionally, there are a lot more rainy days. As such, I included cards that tap down other creatures, as well as bounce effects and counterspells. Furthermore, I decided to use a mechanic which, in my opinion, ties directly to the fall, in name and theme: Landfall. Next, I decided to look at Daylight Savings Time, specifically the term, "fall back." For that, I added cards with flashback. I also feel that bounce effects work in here as well. Lastly, I thought of the idea of animals "bulking up for winter." For that, I added creatures and effects that add +1/+1 counters to creatures. Aside from the themes, I tried to add some finishers, like Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer and Craterhoof Behemoth.

So, if anyone could help out with these (rather disparate) themes and this deck, it'd be greatly appreciated
