Strider Landfall by talimus

Format: Commander

Commander: Strider, Ranger of the North

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Gruul landfall value deck helmed by Strider, Ranger of the North, built around one central loop: play far more than one land per turn and cash every landfall trigger in for tokens, burn, and mana. The engine is a classic landfall package - extra land plays from Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Exploration, Druid Class, and Mina and Denn, Wildborn, paired with land recursion from Ramunap Excavator, Crucible of Worlds, and Ancient Greenwarden to chain multiple land drops every turn. The payoff density is high: Omnath, Locus of Rage, Rampaging Baloths, Scute Swarm, Zendikar's Roil, and Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer flood the board with tokens, while Valakut Exploration, Tunneling Geopede, and Spitfire Lagac convert landfall into direct damage. The primary finisher is Moraug, Fury of Akoum, whose landfall-triggered extra combat phases turn a wide token army into a one-turn kill. Strider himself is a modest combat buff - a repeatable +1/+1 and first strike - rather than the engine.
