I love the deck, personally I love the uncommon commanders, I've got Hallar, the Firefletcher who is pretty beast as a commander so you have great respect. Now for some suggestions.

Landfall:

Drawfall

Planeswalkers: (Maybe you have something against them which is ok but here's a few)

On top of all that, River Hoopoe is adorable and a good mana sync and Ramunap Excavator is good recovery for your panoramas etc.

I don't know what your budget is like (especially with Gaea's Cradle in there) but there's some suggestions that might make your already awesome deck even better. Happy brewing, hope this helps :)

Poly_raptor, thank you for the suggestions. The more I look at Tishana, Voice of Thunder , the more I think I might need her in here, if not for another "no maximum hand size" effect.

EPICSpider23, thank you for the suggestions, as well. I'll address them bit by bit...

Tideforce Elemental does appear that it would be quite helpful. The more I play, I'll see if I need more of that effect, and it may go in. It's added to the Maybeboard for sure.

Lotus Cobra isn't as expensive as it used to be, so I'll consider it, as well. Its just figuring out what to cut.

The other landfall cards are good cards, but I'm not necessarily looking to gain 300 life, so the lifegainers I'll probably pass on (although they would go very nicely in a more landfall-focused build). Guardian of Tazeem has a solid effect, but not sure if I want to wedge that in there. I've got a decent removal package right now, but I'll keep it in mind. I was aware of Tireless Tracker ; I've got a copy I run in a Titania, Protector of Argoth deck. Also a good consideration. At the time of the initial build, it was more than I wanted to pay for a card I didn't have another copy of. Now that I'm fine-tuning, I'm more likely to spend a bit more on a card here and there. The drawfall cards I'm going to pass on; if I switch out too much stuff, then I lose the original theme of the deck with the Moonfolk and land bouncing effects, which I want to keep.

As for the Planeswalkers; I'm not averse to them, I just don't own many of them, and I try to make my initial builds fairly easy on the budget. Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner has a decent static ability and a useful loyalty ability, but I'm not sure she's quite worth a spot in the deck. The others, I just don't have.

Now, on to other matters: I really enjoy the uncommon Commanders, too, and have built around several of them; Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage , Valduk, Keeper of the Flame , Slimefoot, the Stowaway , and am currently working on a Tiana, Ship's Caretaker build. I'd love to see your Hallar, the Firefletcher build. I like him, and think he's worth a build, but am just curious as to how consistent he is for you, and how you manage the kickers, etc. Looking forward to your reply!

Hey bushido_man96, so here's the link for my Hallar boy: Hallar the Firekicker and I've also got a Brawl deck with Tiana, Ship's Caretaker which has the amazing combos of Valduk, Keeper of the Flame , Danitha Capashen, Paragon and Kwende, Pride of Femeref . I might upload that at some point because at the moment it's just on paper.

I almost made a Rona, Disciple of Gix Commander but there wasn't enough content, I was after equipments/enchantment that gave her Ingest or ": Exile card from target player's library/graveyard/hand/whatever" but there was nothing so I was really diappointed, even after all the exile in the recent Zendikar block.

Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive is also really interesting but at the moment I'm slotting her into a Standard deck (while it's in rotation) combined with Rat Colony , sweet combo. This is in construction here: Tetsuko's Colony.

I don't know whether you've played Oathbreaker or not but I've started using the new uncommon planeswalkers in that format too. Uncommons are just the greatest for budget XD

I'll be keen to hear from you again and hope we can assist each other in our brewing :)

Thanks, EPICSpider23, for all the comments, help, and the links. I do look forward to comparing brews in the future!

Rona, Disciple of Gix is intriguing. I may have to look over EDHRec for some ideas. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive can just be a pain in the but, and run with cards like Coastal Piracy can really rack up value.

I'm going to run a little combo/recursion action with Tiana, Ship's Caretaker , running Auratog , Krark-Clan Ironworks , and a ton of equipment. It may be janky, but I think she'll be fun.

EPICSpider23, question for ya. Do you think I should switch out Freed from the Real for Tideforce Elemental ? I think it possibly works better, as it's landfall enabled, where Freed from the Real is not. But I like that it's an enchantment. What do you think?

EPICSpider23 says... #6

bushido_man96, yeah seeing that now I think that's probably a good bet. Yes Tideforce Elemental is easier to remove but Freed from the Real is an Aura so just as likely to go as the creature. Additionally, Tideforce Elemental has "another target creature" whereas Freed from the Real is only "enchanted creature". So I don't know whether you're only looking to tap/untap one certain creature but the versatility is nice (can even tap out your opponent's field) and for same CMC, seems like a fair trade-off. Thanks for asking for my opinion, hope that helps. thumbs up

EPICSpider23, I think you're right about that. I think I'll definitely get more utility out of Tideforce Elemental than Freed from the Real . I wish I could run both, but not sure I can. I really have some more to consider now...

Hey Man,

I saw your deck on the forum, why arent you playing Azusa, Lost but Seeking or Oracle of Mul Daya ? or for the gy play Ramunap Excavator and Crucible of Worlds ? these are staples in the land fall decks.

also if you go these then add the fetches.

Other than that on the deck list if youre trying to show people the deck, you could add custom categories...simple ones though. the core of the deck, Draw, Ramp, Removal etc.

Also maybe a section in you description

caantpayrent, I don't play Azuza or Oracle because they are $35 a piece, and I don't have copies of them.

This deck is not like other land-matters decks, in that I don't put a lot of lands into the graveyard, so I bypass the need to include cards like Crucible of Worlds and Ramunap Excavator . Those are favored more in builds that include The Gitrog Monster or Lord Windgrace , but not my build. This deck is focused more on bouncing lands, and not pitching them.

I'm unsure on how to order the categories differently, so that's why I don't do it, but I think the description does a pretty good job of laying out the deck.

Hey man, thanks for checking out my deck & commenting on it. Your list is pretty solid & seeing Sunder in your deck brings a big smile to my face!

Lotus Cobra seems good here too with all the land bouncing and playing.
