The Commander
Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, create a 5/5 red and green Elemental creature token.
Whenever Omnath or another Elemental you control dies, Omnath deals 3 damage to any target.
Guide
Gameplan
Ramp into Omnath, then flood the board with lands to generate 5/5 Elemental tokens off every landfall trigger. Convert that wide board into reach and damage by sacrificing or losing Elementals to ping faces, then close with a big land-fueled swing or a sacrifice loop. Every land matters twice: as a body and as a future bolt.
Strengths
- Dual payoff: lands make 5/5 bodies AND turn dying Elementals into burn damage
- Excellent at grinding back from board wipes since each replayed land rebuilds tokens
- Strong color identity for ramp, land recursion, and explosive mana
- Can win without combat by sacrificing tokens for direct damage
Weaknesses
- Heavy dependence on the commander — without Omnath you make no tokens or damage
- Seven mana and clunky if you stumble on ramp
- Vulnerable to graveyard hate and exile-based removal that stops land recursion
- Token swarm dies to a single board wipe, and Omnath's death trigger only hits one target
Key Cards
- Scapeshift — Sacrifices all your lands to fetch a pile back, triggering a wall of landfall tokens at once.
- Splendid Reclamation — Returns every land from your graveyard to the battlefield simultaneously for a massive landfall burst.
- Tireless Provisioner — Adds extra landfall value and treasure to chain more lands per turn.
- Lotus Cobra — Turns each land drop into extra mana to fuel more land plays and ramp into Omnath fast.
- Goblin Bombardment — Free sacrifice outlet that converts your Elementals into direct damage, weaponizing Omnath's death trigger.
- Avenger of Zendikar — Compounds the token strategy and benefits from the same landfall engine.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana and extra land drops — Exploration, Burgeoning, Azusa, Lotus Cobra, and fetchlands — so every turn produces multiple tokens. Lean into a sacrifice combo package with Goblin Bombardment plus repeatable token recursion and a payoff like Warstorm Surge or Purphoros, God of the Forge to make damage inevitable. Finally, include protection (Heroic Intervention, Deflecting Swat) and a Craterhoof Behemoth or Overwhelming Stampede to convert the wide board into a single-turn kill.
