ANALYSIS

Overview:

This mono-green lands/combo deck leverages Lumra, Bellow of the Woods to turbo-ramp and execute infinite mana combos through Food Chain/Eternal Scourge and land synergies. The deck combines cEDH-grade fast mana with stax elements (Trinisphere, Null Rod) and robust land recursion to power out explosive wins while disrupting opponents.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
This deck aims to assemble infinite mana via Food Chain/Eternal Scourge or land-based engines (Amulet of Vigor+Ashaya, Soul of the Wild), then cast Lumra repeatedly to mill lands and flood the battlefield. Key phases:

  1. Turbo Setup: Use Mana Vault, Mox Diamond, and Elvish Spirit Guide to power out stax pieces or Food Chain by T2-3.
  2. Combo Execution: With infinite mana, cycle Lumra to return all milled lands, creating massive board presence. Finish via Finale of Devastation for lethal or Field of the Dead zombie swarm.
  3. Stax Backup: Lock opponents with Root Maze/Collector Ouphe while developing lands.

Key Tips

  • Mulligan aggressively for T1 accelerants or Food Chain.
  • Use Sanctum of Eternity to dodge commander tax once infinite mana is achieved.
  • Life from the Loam enables recursive land access to bypass graveyard hate.

Avoid Traps

  • Don't overextend lands pre-Amulet of Vigor.
  • Prioritize protecting Food Chain over early stax deployment in fast metas.

Weaknesses:

Critical

  • Fold to Rest in Peace/Leyline of the Void shutting off land recursion
  • Food Chain removal leaves only Planeswalking beats as backup

Moderate

  • Limited stack interaction (only Force of Vigor as free answer)
  • Blood Moon effects disrupt nonbasic-heavy mana

Most Important Cards:

  • Food Chain
  • Eternal Scourge
  • Gaea's Cradle
  • Ashaya, Soul of the Wild
  • Life from the Loam
  • Amulet of Vigor
  • Finale of Devastation
  • Natural Order
  • Force of Vigor
  • The One Ring

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 9/10
Theoretical T2 win (T1 Mana Vault → T2 Food Chain + Eternal Scourge + cast Lumra 3x). Average goldfish win by T3-4.

Resilience: 7/10
Multiple protection layers (Heroic Intervention, Sylvan Safekeeper), 14 land tutors, and Sanctum of Eternity mitigate commander tax. Weak to graveyard exile.

Consistency: 8/10
16 tutors (including 5 creature tutors), 10+ draw engines, and Life from the Loam recursion. Food Chain combo has 3 enablers (Worldly Tutor, Chord of Calling, Finale).

Interaction: 6/10
Focused on permanent-based disruption (7 stax pieces) and targeted removal (Force of Vigor, Beast Within). Lacks stack interaction beyond Vexing Bauble.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at cEDH speeds (T2-3 potential) with high-tier mana acceleration and combo density but lacks the interaction suite and consultation-style wincons of top-tier lists. The stax package provides midgame backup but doesn't fully lock out opponents. It exceeds Tier 2 cEDH's speed but lacks the resilience of Thrasios/Tymna piles.

Power level: 8.5 - 9.0
