I know this video is old but I would do an updated version with stuff from mh2 since we got tireless provisioner and I would add in aesi as another Tatyova effect along with updated creatures like cultivator colossus and augur of autumn landfall is getting dumb now with all these good cards and since you run dryad I’m surprised you didn’t add valakut in their for fun love to see how the deck has evolved

[@vex_mtg]

I do agree, landfall has gotten so many good toys over the years. I actually tore this deck apart and rebuilt it based in Mengu's deck list. I do want to do a video on this one day.

[@msprague80]

It seems like you'd like the card Trade Routes... i think people have forgotten about the card. I know you had minimal enchantments, but it guarantees lands are in your hand, and can get crazy with asuza.

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Matt Sprague, you are absolutely correct, I forgot about that card. It's not a bad card to have in the deck. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@MTGAlpha]

Lands matters, perhaps my favorite mechanic. Nice video!

[@vex_mtg]

Thanks @MTG Alpha. Btw lands matters it my favorite too.

[@rhainex5952]

So some cool ideas for when omnath becomes 5 color for black when a land etb's 1) create a 2/2 zombie token that's a land in addition 2) whenever a land goes to the graveyard fr the battlefield you may put a land card from your hand into the battlefield. 3) whenever a land either etb's or goes to the graveyard each opponent loses two life and you gain two life. 4) whenever a land etb's or goes to the graveyard from the battlefield target creature gets -X/-X counters for each land card in your graveyard. Put a +1+1 counter on a creature you control for each -X-X that was placed on target creature. I was just thinking of some ideas that would be really interesting and fun for the black flavor for omnath. Maybe make it to where the lands would trigger only when they go to the graveyard. Go with a land in the graveyard from the battlefield since everything is focused on etb's.

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Rhaine X, those are some cool ideas for Omnath V, I like the land dies trigger similar to Titania. I believe Omnath V will have landfall. I believe it will have both landfall and land dies ability for example: landfall: put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control and deal 1 damage to each creature opponents control, land dies: drain 2 life. I think they will remove the ETB trigger to make room for all of that text. Thanks again for stopping by and coming up with cool ideas for the next Omnath.

[@jjthealien_]

I recommend Goblin Bombardment. You seem to have a 2nd theme which is elementals and if you pair it with Omnath, Locus of Rage, then you have an instant sack outlet that can do 4 damage in total

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Jayden Collins, thanks for the recommendation. I have Goblin Bombardment in my Prossh, Skyraider of Kher deck and it's really fun. I wonder if it would be better in the Omnath, Locus of Rage deck as the 4-color Omnath is really tight on space.

[@AzurielMist]

Nice list, currently sticking mine together. Just got a playset of each of the fetch lands in expedition :D Pretty similar looking list, although I have shoehorned in valakut with scapeshift and Nahiri's Lithoforming :D Thanks for sharing!

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @AzurielMist, thanks for stopping by. The new expeditions are amazing looking. I originally had those cards in the deck, but decided to go with the creature tutor package instead. Tell me how the Valakut/Scapeshift package goes, seems like fun!

[@rhainex5952]

If you included prismatic omens you would get a ton of triggers off of valakut with the scapeshift.

[@TheGirthiestSausage]

@@rhainex5952 dryad does the same thing too

[@sphiedd]

super nice. your deck is very similar to mine of course no vesuva but i do have emeria sky ruin just in case board hate comes. and also morag the combat boy of landfall is just busted.

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @sphiedd, thanks for stopping by. Yeah, in hindsight, I should have added Moraug to the deck, thanks for the heads up!

[@amyrichards690]

Great deck list! Thanks for the tech. Curious, what sleeves do you use?

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Amy Richards, thanks for stopping by. I use Black Dragon Sleeve Classics for all my decks. I have about 3,000+ of these so I can easily swap cards between my decks.

[@ivan17villa]

That is a super nice deck, but all its greatness comes at a very high price, it just hurts to see that some of them are also foil, thank you very much for your tech, but no, way to expensive, but keep doing videos, it works to get a guide and know what cards can go and what kind of things i should look for but in a cheaper version

[@vex_mtg]

I feel you @Villa Ivan, commander cards have gotten very expensive in the last couple of year. I don't see anything wrong with going budget. Good luck with your build and tell me how it goes.

[@jonathanbaago5312]

Great list! Consider scapeshift and glacial chasm

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Jonathan Baago, thanks for checking out my video. I considered these cards and my opinions are: Scapeshift is either a wins more card, a card that takes a long time to resolve because you have to track the lands you have on the battlefield + graveyard + library to make sure you don't stone rain yourself, and a do nothing/very little card if you don't have any landfall cards on the battlefield. For those reasons I cut the card. Glacial Chasm is a great card on the other hand. The reason I cut it is my play group doesn't run too much land destruction and with the new Ancient Greenwarden, it's easy to recur and lock everyone out of the game. It's just unfun to play against and seeing my friends just throw their hands up and agree to concede isn't that much fun. However, if your play group is willing to endure the card, I would say run it!

[@josecisneros7730]

Omnath will read “landfall- destroy as many permanents as your little heart desires”

[@vex_mtg]

@Jose Cisneros, that sounds about right for the Omnath V.

[@danielegiuntini8844]

I'm testing too a more landfall focused deck. This general needs crazy amount to card draw to work. I cut Nissa because it's impossible to defend and horn of greed (never help strong opponents!!!, also they can use all their draws against you when you are in a better position) but I play Consecrated sphinx, nezhal, rhystic study, Zendikar Resurgent, Valakut exploration and i've a good feeling with urban evolution, escape to the wilds and sea gate restoration, and i'm considering Tishana and temur omnath. My best finisher is Craterhoof after many landfall token triggers. Bala ged recovery is better than eternal witness in this deck. Other t1 play are Sakura tribe scout and skyshroud ranger, i win with them thanks to retreat to corahelm.

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Daniele Giuntini, thanks for the wonderful insight on your deck configuration. It seems like it'll never run out of cards, which is a good thing for grindy games. I would love to see a decklist if you have one. Thanks for stopping by!

[@NerdieCop95]

The only thing I noticed is omnath landfall abilities only happen 3 times they don't keep going every turn once you play 3 lands while he is out his landfall is done

[@vex_mtg]

That's correct @Dkillyou8, but usually three triggers is all you need to take advantage of Omnath.

[@tonyontilt3522]

Check out ghost town with Burgeoning. My favorite wombo combo

[@vex_mtg]

That's a pretty neat combo @Tony on Tilt.

[@vex_mtg]

I didn't mention this in the video because I thought it didn't work, but FYI: You can play the land face of all the Modal DFCs with Crucible of Worlds and friends: twitter.com/WotC_Matt/status/1301553610208112640

[@Aljo-sn3hv]

nice

[@johnnyvegas3979]

did i miss the fetch land suite? currently building this deck

[@vex_mtg]

I included all of the non-black ones + Prismatic Vista and Fabled Passage, but you can just include all 10 if you want more double landfall triggers.

[@singleservingfriend2817]

Currently building an omnath deck. My iteration is more of a control shell. Would it be too greedy to play valakut with dryad and prismatic omen? Could also use Pulphoros, god of the forge to machine gun everyone with field of the dead

[@minneapolissportscards6871]

Could u pls do budget version of this deck

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Minneapolis sports cards, thanks for the request. I'm currently working on other budget decks, however I don't have plans on doing Omnath (KZbin is weird about having 2 similar videos when you don't have a ton of subscribers, it'll only show one of them when scrolling through thumbnails). But you're in luck, The Command Quarters has got your back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH6yYmenqs2ihqc .

[@TheGirthiestSausage]

You did have the extra blue for roil elemental you just couldn’t trigger landfall for it that turn tho

[@vex_mtg]

I guess what I meant was I don't like to play a naked "Roil Elemental".

[@baconsir1159]

No flicker cards? They let you get more omnath triggers and reset his landfall count. Ephemerate is just a 1 CMC draw 2 that resets Omnath’s landfall count and protects from targeting effects. Ghostly Flicker does the same and can also flicker lands to trigger landfall. Ashaya lets ANY flicker card trigger landfall. It’s not just Omnath either, flickering Titania nets you a land from grave. Flickering Avenger of Zendikar doubles the amount of plant tokens, etc.

[@vex_mtg]

@Bacon Sir, I do like flicker cards with Omnath, but I just wanted to go a different direction, but I do like the theme.

[@baconsir1159]

Understandable, though I highly recommend Ghostly Flicker regardless. Even if you don’t need to reset Omnath, it’s still two landfall triggers

[@baconsir1159]

It also essentially refunds two mana when you exile two lands

[@vex_mtg]

@Bacon Sir, I'll definitely include that in the deck, now what to cut?!?!?!

[@bobross9253]

Yo what sleeves are you using they look amazing I want them

Thanks!

[@R1S3_0F_D3ATH]

Idea Nyxbloom Ancient, terror of the peaks, Scute Swarm, or Banefire

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Michael Helton, Scute Swarm seems like a very good inclusion. You should experiment with those other cards, I'm not sure about those. If you do experiment, tell me how it goes!

[@R1S3_0F_D3ATH]

@@vex_mtg well, the scute swarm would pair well with the terror of the peaks due to terrors etb trigger and since there's gonna be some cases of multiple lands entering the field it'll snowball like a MF

[@justinbafia5818]

I have a three color omnath deck and now I want to save money to buy the new one and make this deck

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @ Justin Bafia, that's sweet you have a starting point on making the new Omnath IV deck with your Omnath III deck. You might have to start looking at black cards for whenever Omnath V comes out!

[@schlessinger90]

Why not Natural Order as tutor as well? Just wondering...

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Enrico Donisi, It's hard to find space for everything. I wanted to include more tutors like Natural Order and Wordly Tutor but just couldn't take out anymore cards. I'm also not a fan of too many tutors because it reduces variance in the games you play. My play group doesn't like seeing me play the same cards every game (Bane of Progress), I actually remove all except maybe one tutor when playing. Thanks for checking out my video!

[@schlessinger90]

Land destruction!!!!!

[@vex_mtg]

@Barry Rott, yes, we need more of that.

[@electrohouselover07]

I don't think you should be running Phylath, World Sculptor in a deck that only has 11 basics lands.

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @david C, thanks for your insight. I believe Phylath, the World Scrulptor is still a good card in the deck, even if I can't get max value from them. I'm okay with making only 2-3 tokens as the landfalls triggers are still very powerful, being able to pump those plants. With that said, it would be one of my first cuts if I need to make room.

[@jollygreenjackson5787]

Card draw seems way too low, do you not have issues with that often?

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Jacob Creel, I don't usually have an issue with card draw/card advantage with the deck. There's lots of ways to get card advantage like Radha, Courser, Oracle, Uro, Omnath III, Tatyova, Tireless Tracker, Horn of Green, Emeria, Nissa, Wrenn, Horizon Lands, etc. I also forgot to draw a card from Omnath's ETB trigger in the video.

[@andylemieuvre3748]

Plus you ramp so much that you don't struggle getting what you need since a lot of land are on the field and not in the library anymore ^^

[@catit6599]

Do they call them horizon lands cause of the first one or because they printed more of them in modern horizons?

[@vex_mtg]

Hi @Tom Scott, I call it because of the first one, but I can see it go either way ... or even both ways!

[@Brainlessman]

Sadly u left out poor old original omnath locus of mana who is pretty good himself
