Deck overview

This deck is an Abzan midrange engine helmed by Kodama of the East Tree and Ravos, Soultender, built under the companion restriction of Umori, the Collector where every nonland card is a creature. The deck leverages mana dorks and land-searching creatures to accelerate into Kodama by Turn 5. Once Kodama resolves, every land and creature drop cheats additional permanents into play, enabling explosive turns with landfall engines like Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths, and Scute Swarm, or infinite token generation when combining Kodama with a bounce land and a landfall token creator. Ravos, Soultender and a rich suite of reanimation creatures like Sun Titan, Karmic Guide, and Karador, Ghost Chieftain ensure continuous card recovery and long-game resilience. The deck wins by generating a massive token army on Turn 6 and swinging for lethal on Turn 7.
