Omnath, Locus of the Roil

Gameplan

Omnath is a Temur Elemental tribal/landfall deck that floods the board with Elemental tokens and ramps hard with extra land drops. Each landfall pumps your Elementals and, once you hit eight lands, refills your hand, snowballing card advantage into a wide, evasive, or burn-based finish. You play out cheap Elementals, ramp aggressively, then grind value until you can swing for lethal or burn the table out.

Key Cards

• Risen Reef — The premier Elemental engine—ramps and draws every time an Elemental enters, fueling both halves of the deck.
• Cultivate — Cheap ramp that puts a land into play to trigger landfall and accelerates toward the eight-land draw threshold.
• Avenger of Zendikar — Makes an army of Plant tokens whose landfall growth pairs perfectly with Omnath's counter and draw engine.
• Scute Swarm — Each land drop copies it exponentially, turning landfall into a runaway token and counter machine.
• Omnath, Locus of Mana — Stacks Elemental count and provides huge mana storage for explosive turns (note: only legal as a separate card, strong inclusion).
• Tireless Tracker — Converts landfall into Clue tokens and grows itself, providing draw and a relevant body.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and ramp (Sol Ring, Three Visits, Nature's Lore, Cultivate) plus extra-land-drop enablers (Exploration, Azusa, Burgeoning) to maximize landfall triggers. Tighten the curve toward the most explosive Elementals (Risen Reef, Scute Swarm, Avenger) and add flicker like Restoration Angel or Eternal Witness loops to abuse Omnath's ETB burn. Finish with payoffs such as Craterhoof Behemoth or Finale of Devastation and protect your engine with counterspells and Heroic Intervention.
