With the amount of ramp I have, 34 has worked out well for the most part.Also, I took out Sylvan Primordial (recently banned) and replaced him with Woodfall Primus

I would consider swapping the Bow of Nylea for Fires of Yavimaya and you could also put in Stonebrow, Krosan Hero .since Nylea gives everyone trample he makes them all way overpowered. Borborygmos is swinging for 8 right out of hand and Spellbreaker Behemoth is keeping everyone protected on blue matchups. But this deck is sick for sure, +1

Rancor is in your sideboard and main deck, just fyi; but i love formant

I'm thinking about adding Savage Beating and Vexing Shusher , thoughts?

Vexing Shusher is silly good, Gaea's Herald does a similar job. I know it's old and proably pricey but if you can find Berserk it's kills people all day, though Savage Beating is excellent in its place for flexibility. Conjurer's Closet would also be good

I've also been thinking about getting a Strionic Resonator for my deck, so I can get double Xenagos triggers. Does that sound like a good idea?
Also, I love that art of Berserk, it brings to mind Shifters from D&D. If I can find one of the FTV:E printing, I'm definitely getting it.

On the topic of Strionic Resonator , here are potential targets:
When (Mostly ETB effects): Eternal Witness , Acidic Slime , Terastodon , Bogardan Hellkite , Craterhoof Behemoth , Woodfall Primus , Yavimaya Elder
At: Primordial Hydra (Yiss!)
Whenever (Repeatable stuff!): Eldrazi Conscription (annihilator), Rampaging Baloths , Lurking Predators (hell yeah!), Ogre Battledriver , Balefire Dragon (another hell yeah!), Mage Slayer (After equipped creature gets a Xenagod trigger, yes please!), Warstorm Surge , Gruul Ragebeast (Not as good), and Borborygmos . I should include Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger , but it just isn't useful to copy his triggers.

As good as Putrefax looks, I'd prefer not to win with Infect, or Infinite Combos for that matter. It just feels kinda... wrong.

+1 for the deck and for the Xenagos general!So many nasty creatures and much inspiration for my naya commander deck. Kalonian Hydra would make a nice job in your deck as well, and Lure is great together with Vigor .

I just pulled a Chord of Calling from a pack, but I'm trying to decide what to cut for it. Any thoughts? I'm mostly thinking of either Boartusk Liege or Wolfir Silverheart .
July 20, 2014 8:59 p.m.
Okay, I got a Kalonian Hydra , and decided to take both of the aforementioned cards out.
July 25, 2014 3:38 p.m.
I'm giving the following changes a try: Balefire Dragon , Basilisk Collar , and Eldrazi Conscription out for Explosive Vegetation , Avenger of Zendikar , and Doubling Season
July 28, 2014 11:24 a.m.
I'm looking for a space to put Aggravated Assault in now.
August 1, 2014 3:09 p.m.
I just got a Sword of Feast and Famine , and I'm thinking about putting it into the deck. Thoughts?
Pros: Pretty much everything about the card, besides Pro-Green.
Con: Pro-green makes the equipped creature untargetable by Xenagos's ability.

Currently building a Xenagos Deck myself are you using caver of souls on Xenagos? does he warrant that much hate?
September 8, 2014 12:53 p.m.
I use Cavern of Souls just as a bit of insurance to make sure he isn't countered, since the meta at my local commander league is pretty blue-heavy, and nothing stinks more than having to deal with two Control players focusing down on you.

I'm looking to put Hateflayer and Maze of Ith in, any thoughts?

I just played this on Cockatrice and it melted face soooo hard. +1, saved, and awesome deck all around!!!

I'm glad you liked it, it's pretty fun to play in real life, too. Let me know if you think anything in the deck is underperforming, and I'll consider it for my next changes.
Also, I added a few more Dragons, like Balefire Dragon, Scourge of the Throne, Atarka, World Render, and Hellkite Tyrant. They should play really nice with Xenagos, especially the Scourge and Atarka.

Cream of the Crop really does work in my Xenagos deck, and Deus of Calamity always trades well or hits hard. Hydra Omnivore helps knock the entire table down, making other threats all the more dangerous. And no love for Hull Breach?
March 21, 2015 1:04 p.m.
Hydra Omnivore is great in Xenagos decks with a potential of minimally 16 damage to everyone which is just awesome, just give it double strike and you are golden. Maze of Ith really depends on your meta. It is good against voltron commanders and any decks hoping to suit up one or two guys but if you are facing a token army it's not going to help you.Hateflayer is interesting as well. If you Xenagos it then you have the potential to attack for 10 then hit for 10 to any creature or player. I think yes on Hateflayer because of it's synergy with xenagos. Maze of Ith depends on your meta. Love this build though

Have you tried out this deck all ready because Im building a similar deck and I was wondering how 34 lands has worked out for you.
