Love seeing this video right after i brewed my first landfall deck! I've been on a hiatus from the game since ixalan but I've wanted to build a lands edh deck ever since i saw legacy lands in action. I noticed that a lot of key enablers got reprints or budget alternatives over the years so i decided to finally put one together, but i didn't know the deck also acquired a nasty reputation over that time.

I'd love to see this updated with the new thunder junction set in mind. Maybe a sacrifice land focus to pair with the Landfall. There are so many new lands coming out with Modern Masters 3 as well that would be interesting to discuss.

Damn I really ought to be playing life from the loam.

Against the Landfalldeck of my bro I just don't let the commander get onto the field ( removal, counter spells, )

Kinda new to mtg and making a landfall deck. What are some thoughts on Tatyova vs Aesi as commanders? I'm currently using Aesi.

[@ivogclan7033]

I think aesi is a little better. 2 cards a turn!

[@MesserTAMU]

@@ivogclan7033 that's how I felt but I keep seeing Tatyova as the poster child for blue green landfall.

[@phaeryen]

whichever one you play, have the other one ride along in the 99. see how you feel when you get both of them in play and drop a few lands. kiss kiss. ;P

[@Cynsham]

Tatyova is stronger since she comes down a turn earlier, but both are very strong

[@aklepatzky]

Whats ur list? Lets compare, I have Aesi

[@domination6620]

Is locus of creation a good landfall commander? I am new and am makeing a landfall deck using him as a commander. Where would i go to ask for suggestions on cards and so on
