Landfall Scry by DarkPuma

Format: Commander

Commander: Galadriel of Lothlórien

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Galadriel of Lothlorien helms a Simic value deck that turns the scry mechanic into a land-ramp engine. Whenever the Ring tempts you (with another creature as the Ring-bearer), Galadriel scries 3, and each scry can reveal the top card - if it's a land, it enters the battlefield tapped. The deck packs a dense core of extra-land-play effects (Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Exploration, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Summer Bloom) and landfall payoffs (Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Scute Swarm, Mossborn Hydra) to generate overwhelming card advantage and a wide/invincible board. Although it lacks traditional tutors and fast combos, its redundant scry triggers and land-drop effects act as virtual tutors for its plan. The primary win condition is combat - either a swarm of Scute Swarm copies, a giant Mossborn Hydra or Cultivator Colossus - backed up by the occasional mill from Hedron Crab and Ruin Crab.
