ANALYSIS

Overview:

A classic Omnath, Locus of Rage landfall strategy that aims to generate value through land drops and elemental tokens, while using various damage-dealing enchantments and abilities to close out games.

Primer:

This deck operates on a landfall-based strategy, using its commander Omnath, Locus of Rage to create 5/5 elemental tokens whenever lands enter the battlefield. The deck includes numerous ramp spells and fetch effects to trigger landfall multiple times per turn, while also incorporating various damage-dealing enchantments like Warstorm Surge and Impact Tremors to amplify the impact of token generation.

The secondary strategy involves using Omnath's death trigger ability alongside sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment and Greater Good to convert elementals into direct damage. The deck can also go wide with tokens through cards like Avenger of Zendikar and Scute Swarm, while Field of the Dead provides additional token generation through regular land drops.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on its commander being in play to function optimally, making it vulnerable to repeated removal. The mana curve is relatively high, which can lead to slow starts if early ramp isn't found. The deck also lacks sufficient instant-speed interaction to deal with combo-based strategies, making it vulnerable to faster decks.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Scapeshift
  • Ancient Greenwarden
  • Purphoros, God of the Forge
  • Avenger of Zendikar
  • Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
  • Field of the Dead
  • Warstorm Surge
  • Lotus Cobra
  • Perilous Forays
  • Terror of the Peaks

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 5/10
  • Resilience: 6/10
  • Consistency: 7/10
  • Interaction: 4/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits firmly in the optimized casual range, with its ability to generate significant value through landfall triggers and elemental token generation. While it can create explosive turns with cards like Scapeshift, it typically doesn't threaten wins before turn 8-9. The deck is more powerful than typical precon-level decks (4.0) due to its enhanced consistency and synergy, but lacks the speed and interaction to compete with focused competitive decks (7.0).

Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
