Overview:
This Abzan (W/B/G) landfall deck leverages The Necrobloom's token generation and graveyard recursion to create overwhelming board states through land-based triggers. The strategy revolves around accelerating land drops, recurring lands from graveyards, and amplifying landfall triggers through effects like Ancient Greenwarden and Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines. Win conditions include massive token armies (Plants/Zombies/Beasts), Exsanguinate/Ob Nixilis, the Fallen lifedrain, and land-based value engines like Field of the Dead.
Primer:
Core Strategy:
- Land Acceleration: Use Burgeoning, Exploration, and multiple land-per-turn creatures to deploy 3-4 lands per turn cycle.
- Graveyard Recursion: Crucible of Worlds effects enable land recycling while fueling The Necrobloom's dredge ability.
- Trigger Amplification: Ancient Greenwarden and Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines double landfall triggers, enabling explosive token generation.
- Payoff Conversion: Convert landfall tokens into wins via Eerie Ultimatum recursion, Finale of Devastation finishers, or Squandered Resources mana into Exsanguinate.
Key Lines:
- T2 Burgeoning into T3 5+ lands
- Scapeshift + Splendid Reclamation for 10+ landfall triggers
- Field of the Dead + Thespian's Stage zombie swarm
Mulligan Priorities:
- 3 lands (at least 2 untapped)
- Early ramp (Exploration/Azusa)
- Land recursion (Ramunap Excavator/Conduit of Worlds)
Critical Sequencing:
- Play recursion enablers before mill/dredge effects
- Time Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines after establishing multiple landfall sources
- Hold Heroic Intervention for board wipe turns
Weaknesses:
Critical:
- Rest in Peace/Leyline of the Void nullifies graveyard recursion
- Blood Moon/Back to Basics disrupts multicolor manabase
Moderate:
- Board wipes reset token armies
- Limited stack interaction (only Veil of Summer for protection)
Minor:
- Commander-dependent value (mitigated by other landfall payoffs)
Most Important Cards:
- Ancient Greenwarden
- Scapeshift
- Field of the Dead
- Splendid Reclamation
- Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines
- Squandered Resources
- World Shaper
- The Gitrog Monster
- Demonic Tutor
- Eerie Ultimatum
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 6/10
Goldfish T6-8 wins through token overrun or Exsanguinate. No fast mana outside Sol Ring, but explosive land chains enable early Avenger of Zendikar/Rampaging Baloths.
Resilience: 7/10
Multiple graveyard recursion engines and landplay redundancy. Heroic Intervention/Teferi's Protection protect against wipes. Weak to permanent exile effects.
Consistency: 8/10
11 land tutors, 7 recursion engines, and 8 extra land effects. Sylvan Library/Abundance provide card selection.
Interaction: 5/10
Efficient single-target removal (Swords, Assassin's Trophy), but limited counterspells and no board wipes.
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at the border of optimized casual and focused competitive. It exceeds precon-level decks through tutor density and combo potential (Scapeshift lines), but lacks:
- Fast mana (no Mana Crypt)
- Free protection (no Fierce Guardianship)
- Instant-win combos
Comparable to upgraded landfall precons but with better recursion and threat density. Falls short of cEDH due to linear strategy and T6+ win speed.
Power level: 6.0 - 6.5
