MTG Salvation

Help me rework this budget friendly G/W landfall deck:



So as it stands I want to play this in a multiplayer setting. Steppe Lynx isn't really a threat so it'll be cut, as will Explorer's Scope. I need to flesh out some of my 1-ofs, or put in some tutors. It's not uncommon for me to have 15+ lands out so White Sun's Zenith is definitely getting added. Basically looking for any other suggestions. I'm also not averse to going over 60 cards, since I always come pretty close to decking myself.

I guess I need help balancing the threats versus enablers, since this deck either works flawlessly or fails completely.

I own all the decks in my signature plus anywhere from 6-10 more.

Needs 4 ruin ghosts and some of the basic ETB lands from Zend block. kabira crossroads are good as a 2 of, sejiri steppe as a 3 of.

+1 for multiples of Evolving Wilds / Terramorphic Expanse.
I've lived the dream of a Baloth Woodcrasher swinging after four land drops. It's fun.

Since you're in G/W Primeval Titan churns out lands for the rest of your creatures, and Sun Titan can recur an extra land per turn if you're sacrificing them. Fetch lands really make both of these guys champs with landfall.

LOL. Perhaps you missed the term 'budget' in the OP thread?

I'd suggest taking a look at stuff like Crop Rotation & Harrow and even Krosan Verge. Also see Kodama's Reach

I've had very good luck with these (the first two, specifically) in a Threshold deck I've run for years now. Combined with lands that sac themselves for effect, I can achieve Threshold very quickly, so I think you'd be seeing some decent results w/Landfall too. Lands are dropping all the time..

If you opt to try this, don't forget about KotR. (assuming you have them) It's pretty awesome here, and her activated ability also supports your Landfall goal. Two birds, one stone.

I don't know if Scapeshift qualifies as being budget or not, but it can do monstrous things in landfall decks. Sac all of your lands and windsmill slam like 8 new ones into play lol.

Also, I support White Sun's Zenith. Fantastic card to add to any slow, grindy deck.

Damn straight..Scapeshift would be pretty hilarious here. Man..I probably need to get that in MY deck come to think of it.

I also had loads of fun with it in a Retrace/Loam deck a few years ago. Oooh brother.

Oh, I most certainly did. Lotus cobra is about as much as sun titan, if not Prime, so that might be in budget range at least?

I run a similar GW Landfall deck for multiplayer that is based around Emeria Angel. It is a mix of token generation and life gain. I will post the list tomorrow when I am at home, but I just wanted to add my nine cents.

Gavony Township is amazing with all the land draw and Emeria Tokens. I run 2.

Primeval Titan is a boss. If you can afford him he makes the deck finish like a boss. Boss.

Elixir of Immortality can keep you from decking yourself in long games.

SUTURE PRIEST. I run 4 of him. I feel like he was made for Multiplayer. Also, when Emeria starts pumping out birds, you can run away with any game. He is also a hate magnet, getting Doom Blade out before you land your Angel.

Glare of Subdual - Works wonders if you plan on having more creatures than your opponent. I found this gem in the $1 rare stack at my card store.

Chalice of Life // Chalice of Death - Not out yet, but is going in my deck. 10 life is easy to gain and then you can wreck shop. Also if it flips before a Wrath of God, you can pretty much win.

Ghostly Prison - along with suture priest, this is your best reason to play white in multiplayer. Seriously, it makes everyone else destroy each other while you build an army. The bigger the table, the longer you have and the more life you gain while your opponents get weak.

Overrun - Tokens + Land = Finisher

Blunt the Assault - Just gets better as the table gets bigger. Can cause huge momentum swings when the armies are up and an opponent makes a big move.

Harrow - It brings 2 untapped land into play. It is the best landfall card that there is. Lay a land. Tap 3 - sac a plains, bring out 2 terramorphic expanse, sac both of them and get a plains and forest. You just pumped out 5 tokens with Emeria and gained 5 life with Suture priest. Win.

Okay, so I pretty much put my deck list up. I think there are some good ideas here, but I can't stress enough just how good Suture Priest, Harrow, and Ghostly Prison are. They rock.

Ooh, good point. It reminded me... CLAMP.
Drop a land, get a Bird, Clamp it, draw two... this could very well be too good an interaction to leave out of the deck. Clamp remains obscenely good card advantage.

Emeria + Mentor of the meek > skullclamp. Keep the birds!

Yeah mentor would be a great addition.
