Yedora is fun for recycling morph creatures, because for some reason they can morph back from forest form to normal creature mode. Very silly stuff.

[@amiablereaper]

TRANSFORMERS! FORESTS IN DISGUISE!

[@MistaHoward]

Because Morph doesn't actually let you turn a creature face up at all. It just lets you cast the spell for 3 mana as a face down 2/2 creature. Every Morph creature just incidentally has a separate activated ability that turns them face up.

[@maldhound]

God that’s so messed up

[@Ryodren]

My favorite combo is yedora with branchsnap lorian or kin-tree warden and then altar of dementia. Being able to tap the flipped forest to morph then sac it again and again has got to be one of the funniest ways to win. Most new people I've played against never see it coming!

[@alicetheaxolotl]

What's even better about Yedora is if you play Morph creatures, they become unkillable because you can Morph them and turn them back into creatures so they can turn into compost again and again :) (Although monogreen is pretty limiting for Morph, so i prefer it in the 99 of a Morph deck rather than as the commander)

Exactly this; it's an extremely deceptive deck, like I think people understand the intuitive value of creatures coming back as ramp and the lack of LD in EDH makes this very nice. But all the shenanigans with morph, life&limb style effects make everything in the deck disgustingly resilient . I'll even morph up creatures w/destroy enchant type effects to turn off the lands creatures effect and save my board from exile or cycrift style board wipes@@psycoNaughtplaysMCPC

[@aboyes9835]

Armageddon would destroy all lands. All the Yedora player's lands are non-tokemn creatures. Therefore, when they die, put them back onto the battlefield, untapped. They are still saprolings too. No haste, though.

[@panthshah8991]

Ok but the true epic way to play Yedora is mono green aristocrats(UNHEARD OF) and animate your lands repeatedly and sac them to fuel your mono green aristocrats shenangians

[@Tuss36]

The best thing to do with Yedora is to make an unkillable board by using Living Land and other similar effects to turn all your lands into creatures. Others have suggested morph which is probably a more fair way to approach a similar strategy. Personally I take the Living Land approach because where else can you run those kinds of things, but I make sure not to run any infinite sac outlets 'cause then it's just dumb.

[@scizormaster6624]

Or you can run morph, land animation and sac outlets and make your friends hate you lol

The best version of this uses Yedora as part of the 99, so they can Armageddon.

I hope one day you'll cover my Girl, Thantis, the Warweaver. For a Jund commander, she doesn't throw nearly as many goons off cliffs, compared to her peers. And she kinda goads everything, so lots of cards going sideways. (Some people run her as tubo fog, which you'd probably hate, but I run her as anti-solitaire with lots of targeted permanent removal and board wipes that don't kill Thantis)

[@joshdavies1009]

Your stuff's usually pretty good, but this one was especially top-tier. The Weekend at Bernie's comparison, the falling off your bike metaphor, all of it was great. And I can't help but love Yedora because they're great in my Kadena morph deck. Nothing quite like using Willbender on you opponent's kill spell, letting Willbender die, and seeing the look on their face as they realize you can and will jumble their spells over and over again. (Also, Mairsil the Pretender, please.)

Up until now though, aside from other decks on my pipeline, I've just kind of slept on the idea because, at the end of the day, that's where the ideas for that deck end and I don't know how much milage I'd can get from "Make a bunch of lands that can't die turbo."

If a link is lost, another will come up. I don't play competitive since a couple of the cards may be banned, I like to play to see what my decks can do, and what my friends' decks can do.
