MTG Salvation

Let's get the answer to the obvious question out of the way first shall we?

Molimo? Why not run Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar?

Because this is the first EDH deck I ever built (in 2010), it's the one I'm pimping out and to replace the commander after all this time just didn't feel right. I acknowledged my simultaneous desire to play better Magic by promising to swap if I opened a foil Multani at the Dominaria prerelease. I didn't even open a normal one in five events plus prizes, so that solved that as far as I'm concerned.

So yeah, this is my Molimo deck, the one that kickstarted my love of this format. It's full of pet cards like the Fog variants and the morph package, weird meta calls like Tranquil Path because my wife runs a Hanna, Ship's Navigator deck with roughly a billion Arrest variants and Bind, because nobody expects the mono-green player to say 'in response'.

The general gameplan is I ramp a bit, play some stuff out that's fairly innocuous, let everyone else fight for a bit then drop a giant hasty Molimo followed by Overwhelming Stampede and kill the table. If I'm really lucky, I also get to Genesis Wave for 20 at some point, which even if I lose makes me happy. Why yes I am a massive Timmy, how did you know?

Obviously the goal is still to make a pretty decent deck, I'm just less fussed about 100% efficiency in this one y'know? Also as I said I'm pimping this one, so anything pre-Urza's or only available in a precon is right out. I'm hoping Song of the Dryads makes it into foil some day, and the Killer Bees will be Unyaro Bees when I get around to it. Until then, it's the German version because Killerbienen is fun to say.

Some suggestions to look into.

Hour of Promise is Titan in Sorcery form.

Ulvenwald Hydra fetches one land and has P/T based on the number of lands you control. Also Reach for Fliers.

Traverse the Outlands and Boundless Realms will help thin the deck out of those basic Forests from the deck to the field.

Hydra Broodmaster as a mana sink option when you can make a good amount of mana.

Rampaging Brontodon it can get massive when it attacks based on the number of lands you control.

Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar since it fits the deck and has built in recursion.

All solid calls, I must have either not noticed Ulvenwald Hydra or misread it as only getting basics. That said, Rampaging Brontodon doesn't seem to be a card, and Traverse the Outlands won't go in unless a foil version appears on the scene at some point.

Rampaging Brontodon is part of a 2018 Gift Set.

Oh wait is that that five player thing that came out? I remember now. Yeah, if I feel the need for another big dude in here I'll definitely consider it, cause he's gonna get bloody huge.

Here are some more cards.

Blackblade Reforged counts lands you control for buff. Can be equipped cheaper to legendary creatures.

Tireless Tracker can generate clue tokens which you can pay 2 to sac and draw a card. Then get buff for each clue you sac.

Challenger Troll limits the opponent to using only one blocker for each attacking creature with power 4 or more. Familiar Ground is an enchantment version.

Predatory Focus allows you to deal combat damage to an opponent regardless of blockers.

Kalonian Twingrove has P/T equal to the number of Forest you control and makes a token with the same effect.

Some Landfall cards could be useful with the deck's focus on land drops.

Rampaging Baloths - can generate 4/4 tokens for each land drop.

Seer's Sundial - if you have excess mana you can spend it for a draw following a land drop.

Lotus Cobra - generate G for each land drop.

So I played a couple of games last night and got to test out Vivien, Champion of the Wilds. In the second game I activated her five times and saw one creature, so now I'm trying to work out if I just got severely unlucky or if my creature count is too low to use her minus ability with any degree of reliability.
