Creature-based land fetching in lieu of sorcery-based that's standard. It's at 58 creatures including the commander. I'm avoiding adding any enchantments or artifacts, and only one sorcery that wins the game if it lands. I could use some suggestions!

I tried to make the creatures in this deck replace instant/sorcery/enchantment/artifact-based effects. Ramp, removal and protection can all be effectively handled by creatures in Naya. That means no Sol Ring!

Removal is a double-threat, in that you remove their stuff and also have board presence. Cards like Wakening Sun's Avatar with Whitemane Lion can lock a board down for several turns. Cavalier of Dawn and Meteor Golem are great point removal for all nonland permanents, while Apex Altisaur and Thorn Mammoth work as repeated creature removal. Bane of Progress, Kogla and Yidaro and Angel of the Ruins handle the artifact/enchantment removal, and two of them serve a dual purpose.

Protection is handled by Dust Elemental, Whitemane Lion, Stonecloaker and Werefox Bodyguard. These creatures were once instant-based protection, but they are much better as creatures as they mesh with the rest of the deck.

Beast Whisperer, Karametra, God of Harvests *f-etch*, Thorn Mammoth and Silverback Elder are powerful engines in this deck, especially when paired with cards like Whitemane Lion, as you can get repeated casts from the same creature on the same turn. They give more value to the low cost land fetchers, too.

The planeswalkers synergize with creatures, whether using them to fight for removal with Domri Rade or being able to dig for several a turn with Ajani Unyielding. It is not uncommon to get 4-5 creatures with Garruk, Caller of Beasts.

I removed all instant/sorcery ramp and all artifact ramp and replaced it with land fetching creatures.

Cards that pair well with the commander are Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines (doubles her ETB), Temur Sabertooth (potential infinite combo and protection) and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger (amazing if you get him to stick).

If you can think of a creature that works in here that I forgot, please let me know!
