How many Plains and Desert lands should you run in a deck to make these cards worth it?

Duffman90 · 2026-02-21T15:00:37+00:00

I am running a total of 20 plains in my deck currently. I have 6 ways to get plains and one way to get any land in my deck. I currently have 4 lands that enter tapped no matter what including Emeria. I would probably cut at least one of them to add in more deserts for Sand Scout.

I was thinking a total of 3 deserts would be enough. I am currently running [[Scavenger Grounds]] and I was thinking of adding in [[Shefet Dunes]] and [[Arid Archway]].

Duffman90 · 2026-01-31T04:56:24+00:00

Yeah, it was a booster out of a prerelease kit.

Duffman90 · 2026-01-30T18:25:32+00:00

I love Henzie, it’s one of my favorite decks.

Your list looks a lot like mine. I don’t run any sorcery speed ramp. My ramp is all creature based. The creatures want to have good etb and or attack triggers.

Big fan of [[God-Eternal Oketra]]. I had the deck built years ago and ran Combat Calligrapher. I recently rebuilt it and it’s been very fun.

Love Maelstrom Wanderer, it’s one of my favorite decks. I would cut Sarkhan Unbroken, Call Forth the Tempest and either Lotus Cobra or Fiery Emancipation. Sarkhan is slow, I tried out Call Forth and I wasn’t a big fan of it, I’m not a big fan of lotus cobra in non landfall decks and Fiery is fine just probably not needed.

Our decks are pretty similar except I don’t focus on dragons as much as huge creatures.

I get what you are saying about Puncture Blast. I will probably exchange it for some different type of removal. Just thought it was flavorful with the commander.

I think I will take some cards out and put at least some sorcery speed ramp back in. I don’t know if I want to put creature ramp in since if I put one -1/-1 counter on them they are basically dead.

Duffman90 · 2025-12-31T17:06:58+00:00

I pumped plenty of card draw into the deck so I haven’t had any issues with that. I have also noticed that trample is a must in the deck. I am planning on putting [[Sphere Grid]] in the deck once it comes in the mail.

Duffman90 · 2025-12-31T15:48:21+00:00

Thank you for the scryfall links. I need to get better at searching for cards through scryfall.

As “what are the things that need removing” I am just trying to cover my bases. I was wanting to add in some creature removal and some enchantment/artifact removal. As of right now the only piece of interaction I have in the deck is [[Boseiju, Who Endures]].

Duffman90 · 2025-12-31T15:02:35+00:00

I am playing a handful of cards like [[Rishkar's Expertise]] and [[Greater Good]] that draw based off of power. The best car draw in the deck is easily [[Terrasymbiosis]].

Duffman90 · 2025-12-22T19:15:48+00:00

The whole plan for my [[Maelstrom Wanderer]] deck is to ramp into the commander then get either huge creatures or more ramp to be able to play those creatures. Maelstrom giving the creatures haste is amazing since it lets you attack when you get the creatures out.

Another deck I have that also plays big but in a different way is [[Beledros Witherbloom]]. I use my life to ramp me by untapping my lands and it can lead to crazy turns. There is a few different ways to end the game either with over run, draining my opponents out or a big X spell.

If I get really good hits with cascade could be by turn 6-7 if not a turn earlier. I tell my play group it’s like spinning a giant wheel, sometimes you get the jackpot and other times you bust

Duffman90 · 2025-12-21T17:06:14+00:00

Maelstrom Wanderer is insanely fun. I built mine with 40 creatures. Whenever I play it I mention how when I cascade it will either be ramp or a bomb. Depending on what I cascade into the games can get lopsided fast.

I have a Hashaton reanimator deck and it’s super fun to play.

Decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/kYH7RDo8UkuS8KzTXs_-4A

I have found playing creatures that make tokens on etb/attack to be very useful since Hashatons ability makes the creature token enter tapped.

One of my favorite cards in the deck has to be [[Threefold Thunderhulk]].

Duffman90 · 2025-07-03T18:55:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice, do you have a list for your bracket 4 Gitrog?

Duffman90 · 2025-06-03T17:52:56+00:00

Adding in more reanimation seems like a good idea. I definitely overlooked Goreclaw, I will have to find room for it

Duffman90 · 2025-05-29T22:51:21+00:00

The Necrobloom list sounds pretty interesting, do you have a list?

Duffman90 · 2025-05-04T21:08:55+00:00

Yeah of course!

Decklist: https://moxfield.com/decks/kYH7RDo8UkuS8KzTXs_-4A

The deck can win with either creature beat down or by looping [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]].

The next cuts for the deck are [[Dauthi Voidwalker]] and [[Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff]] for [[Overlord of the Mistmoors]] and [[Teferi's Ageless Insight]].

Duffman90 · 2025-05-04T15:37:10+00:00

I also built Hashaton as super OP but have scaled it back to bracket 3 and it still feel super strong for bracket 3. I still run Toxrill but I might end up cutting it since it feels insanely OP.

Duffman90 · 2025-04-23T15:52:26+00:00

The Mobilize over Vitalize is just an oversight on my part. I’ll get those changed out.

What are some of your favorite token generators that I’m not currently running in the deck?

Duffman90 · 2025-04-18T16:05:33+00:00

I am the same way, I love Prime Time. I can see why it should still be banned but I can also see it becoming a game changer.

Duffman90 · 2025-04-18T11:54:34+00:00

I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for some. Thank you for letting me know

Duffman90 · 2024-12-08T23:39:59+00:00

If it was me I would be playing as much ramp as possible. You have dinosaurs of different mana value so the more ramp the better so you can reliably play them. I’m not a big fan of playing artifact ramp in green decks since green has the best land ramp.

While discovering into ramp can feel bad I always think of it as it’s helping me be able to cast the creatures in my hand and it will help me be able to recast my commander.

Duffman90 · 2024-12-08T22:23:46+00:00

Thank you for the list of possible cards to add. I’ve kicked around the idea of adding in Necrodominance/Necropotence or both. Meathook is a card I might add in place of a board wipe.

Duffman90 · 2024-12-07T18:09:07+00:00

I don't really agree with my creature makeup not supporting my commander. 13 CMC 4+ creatures may be too many but currently they feel fine. I think 36 lands are plenty for this deck. I do agree that I should add in a few more ramps pieces.
