Overview:
This Simic land-synergy deck leverages Omo, Queen of Vesuva to enable multi-type land strategies and creature typal synergies. The deck focuses on landfall triggers, locus/desert synergies, and a Dark Depths/Thespian's Stage combo as its primary win conditions. While capable of explosive plays through land acceleration and token generation, it lacks the interaction density and combo redundancy of higher-tier decks.
Primer:
Core Strategy: The deck aims to accelerate land drops using cards like Dryad of the Ilysian Grove and Tatyova, Benthic Druid, enabling locus networks (Cloudpost), landfall token armies (Scute Swarm, Avenger of Zendikar), and a Marit Lage finisher. Secondary plans include big mana payoffs like Hydroid Krasis and Apex Devastator.
Key Lines:
- Land Type Synergy: Use Omo's everything counters to enable Desert triggers (Hour of Promise), Locus mana scaling, and Gate synergies (Basilisk Gate).
- Dark Depths Combo: Tutor lands with Expedition Map/Sylvan Scrying, copy with Thespian's Stage for T3-T5 20/20 indestructible flyer.
- Value Engine: Landfall draw engines (Tatyova, Seer's Sundial) sustain momentum while building board presence.
Mulligan Priorities:
- Early land tutors or ramp (Growth Spiral, Elvish Rejuvenator)
- Locus/Gate/Desert enablers
- Protection for key lands (Blast Zone, Oblivion Stone)
Weaknesses:
Critical:
- No protection for Dark Depths combo pieces
- Limited stack interaction (only 3 counterspells)
Moderate:
- Slow recovery from land destruction
- Relies on 4 tutors for key combo
Minor:
- Some high-CMC payoffs vulnerable to removal
Most Important Cards:
- Dark Depths
- Thespian's Stage
- Cloudpost
- Avenger of Zendikar
- Scute Swarm
- Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
- Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth
- Mana Reflection
- Tatyova, Benthic Druid
- Ramunap Excavator
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 6/10
- Fastest goldfish win: T3 Marit Lage (requires perfect T1 Map -> T2 Stage -> T3 Depths)
- Typical explosive turns: T6-T8 through landfall armies or big mana payoffs
Resilience: 4/10
- Minimal protection for key pieces (1x Summary Dismissal, 1x Arcane Denial)
- Graveyard recursion limited to land-focused effects
Consistency: 5/10
- 4 land tutors + 6 card draw engines
- Redundant landfall payoffs but combo requires specific pieces
Interaction: 3/10
- 3 counterspells, 4 targeted removal
- Relies on sorcery-speed answers like Beast Within
Rating Justification:
The deck operates at the border of Optimized Casual (5.0) and High-Power Casual (5.5). While capable of T3 wins with perfect draws, its average goldfish speed (T6-T8), limited interaction (3 counters vs 10-15 expected at 6.0+), and combo fragility align closer to upgraded precon performance. The locus/desert synergies and landfall engines provide consistent value but lack the redundancy and protection needed for higher tiers.
Power level: 4.5 - 5.0
