Awesome! Too bad fetches are all dual color identity. Works really well with the new Krosan Verge variation.
Actually they are not! You can run fetchlands of any sort in any commander decks. Obviously it is optimal to have fetches you can fetch, but even still you can run fetchlands that are off color completely (which I do not suggest) such as Flooded Strand in a Jund deck

They have a colorless color identity. Like all lands that don't have any mana symbols in them. Re: Urborg, Fetchlands, Command Tower, Reflecting Pool, etc
makes me wonder what kind of support/synergy will be in the deck for her to use...... also probably means the green deck isn't elf tribal which is good (because i already have a nice eruzi, renegade leader deck) but at the same time i really love elves so.......
Another green legend with lovely art! Nice. And really excited about her ability, I was looking to build a mono-green deck based around land animation and land sacrifice effects, she's perfect!
With the relative lack of land sacrifice effects available in mono-green, I think the best way to get mileage out of her is to turn your lands into creatures, which is conveniently a very flavorful strategy for her as well.

There are loads of sackable lands too though. You could run all the fetches, the panoramas, evolving wilds, wasteland, strip, etc etc.
I think you can probably build her pretty much tribal, or even goodstuff, and let the lands sacrifice themselves.
From a game mechanics perspective, I applaud this neat design. From a lore perspective, I got my objections. Titania was a Maro-Sorcerer that protected the wilds. It feels like she should have been a combination of Molimo and Multani.
Ironically, in her story she actually got weaker when the land around her died.
When Urza and Mishra's war began to destroy Argoth, the forest fought back in many ways, including with a giant forest elemental. The second ability is a pretty obvious reference to that.
Not sure what the first ability is a reference to though.

Her tokens bring all the lands to the 'yard, and she's like, they're twenty dollar cards, darn right, Wastelands are a lot to charge.
Also a rare instance of a mono-colored commander with which you'd want to run Fetchlands.
Pretty cool design, I like her!

You can run Titania's Song and Liquimetal Coating to nuke your own lands into dudes btw
Zuran Orb does it easier...
Feel free to bid on my cards here!
She is a fun build-around for sure.

I wonder if Crucible of Worlds will be reprinted here? Probably not. We'll probably get another Life from the Loam instead.
