      Yeah, that's the first thing that came to my mind too when this commander was spoiled. Honestly I was surprised that the deck went all in on lands rather than taking advantage of both aspects of Omo's kit, but hopefully this upgrade fixes that issue (if you consider it to be an issue in the first place that is).

    Omo should have Changeling, and everythign counters should work even without Omo on the field!

    • @GrazzetMTG
      @GrazzetMTG  2 місяці тому +2

      That would certainly make here better but the always on everything counters is probably overkill. The ability to blow up peoples lands is already frowned upon in our format, so a lot of players only have at most 1 piece of land spot removal (if that) - and making counters work whether on not she's on the field would make interacting with those lands far too difficult for the average deck.
      There's not a whole lot you can do against a Cloud Post that's tapping for 6+ mana on its own when your not running land removal or haven't drawn into the 1 piece you do have.

    @duydavidnguyen 2 місяці тому +1

    Thanks Grazzet! Never played a land focused deck before so this should be interesting.
    I'm thinking this might be something that Spelunking might come in handy to make our tapped lands enter untapped if you happen to draw it?
    Besides that, appreciate your work! 🙏

    • @GrazzetMTG
      @GrazzetMTG  2 місяці тому +2

      Happy to hear you enjoyed it and I agree that Spelunking would make a good inclusion - this build as a large amount of lands that come into play tapped, so being able to speed them up is always going to be appreciated (and that fact that it cantrips & can potentially get us an extra land drop on top of that is also very nice upside). It sadly didn't make it into this version of the build due to budget contrants, but I could easily see the argument for swapping one of our extra land drop sources for it or just upping the budget a bit to include it.
      Great suggestion!

    @eugeneinfernal561 19 днів тому

    Omenpath Journey is a super scary card, if it gets removed, you lose the best 5 lands in your deck, and will never see them(( And if you were looking for the best ramp lands in your deck, like Cloudpost or Urza land, or win Condition lands, like Dark Depths and say, Thespian's Stage, or maybe you put in your deck Maze's End, and found it with Omenpath Journey as well - you lose them and probably the game)

    • @GrazzetMTG
      @GrazzetMTG  19 днів тому

      Yeah, but if it doesn't then you'll be guaranteed to get your the 5 best lands into play - making it a high risk / high reward style card that (at least in my opinion) is worth the risk... at least until you get blown out by a Beast Within, Generous Gift, etc and question why you ever put it in the deck in the first place.

    How are we going the get her triggered ability to happen though? She needs to swing, so shouldn't there be some dedicated evasion given to her?

    • @GrazzetMTG
      @GrazzetMTG  2 місяці тому +2

      Good question! The 1st pair of everything counters are free as she ETB's, so no problems there. And then as a low cost 1/5 she should be able to safely swing in for a few turns before enough blockers come up that can actually take her down to spread more counter. After that, that's where our lords come in - which will pump Omo's stats and provide here with keywords that will allow her to more easily survive combat.
      That said, if you want to add some additional sources of evasion you can certainly do so - especially if you know you group ends up with a lot of stalled baordstate.

    I'd have tried to go slivers road with a bunch of lords you mentionned in your list, especially Azami. I'd add Intruder alarm or Murkfiend Liege because of the tapping ability of many of the creatures you have, and i'd find a way to put Maze of Ith as a huge add to the list especially regarding Omo ability.
    My 2 cents !

      @GrazzetMTG  2 місяці тому

      Thank you for enjoying it!
      Untapping effects for our creatures would certainly be solid inclusions to get us double the mileage out of our tap effects, particular our ramp since we have a handful of instant speed ways to spend it & Maze of Ith is a solid utility land too since we can use it both defensively to blank out opponents biggest creature or offensively as a way to remove Omo from combat after she swings to spread her counters and keep her safe (while she allows to tap for mana when we need it to). Great suggestion!

      These are pricey precons (especially the Eldrazi one, but all of them are a bit above average in price), so if budget is a concern - I would say skipping these may be warranted. The Explorers of The Deep precon is a really strong option our of the box and some sellers have it for under $40 before tax and shipping so, if you considering it, it is still be a good option.

    Not a fan of this upgrade, and going this route feels like a trap. The deck at its core is a ramp deck. Leveraging loci and Urza lands to play large haymakers. Going this direction makes the deck too fragile. Since the tribal stuff needs Omo out constantly to do anything. Whereas in the ramp version you only need her long enough to deploy the big threats. Which is far more realistic.

    • @GrazzetMTG
      @GrazzetMTG  2 місяці тому +27

      While I can see you point, I personally feel that flat out ignoring half of a commanders kit is doing a disservice to the commander. Simic has no shortage of lands/big mana commanders that can get gigantic threats arguable more efficiently than Omo - but there is no such commander can allow us cheery pick the best tribal synergies for us to take advantage of.
      That said, if you want to keep her all in on lands and use here as a ramp/big mana style commander - feel free. She can certainly get the job done with the insane amount of mana she can generate us.

    • @evanreid8935
      @evanreid8935 2 місяці тому +2

      I feel like Omo operating passively helps with this. Rather than a commander that needs to be the bruiser, as long as you can get her back in play, you can swing big on the turn she comes back with the synergies, rather than waiting on summoning sickness to wear off for a bruiser or tap effect commander. Her getting removed is still a risk, but I think the strategy is two-pronged, ramp and synergy.

    • @nutellakinesis
      @nutellakinesis 2 місяці тому

      Omo is extremely cheap. If your board is going to get wiped, it honestly doesn’t matter if she’s on the field or not. She is able to give any creature any lord effect you want. It’s like a reusable mask wood nexus.
      She ramps quite a bit. Her impact is quite a lot while she’s on the field, and is quite powerful while she’s on the field. Lord effects also act as evasion as well, which helps protect her.

      Dude what? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. If you want to ramp, just play another simic commander since there’s a lot in these colors that do that… you play Omo to use the abilities, if you want to ramp with her you can, but you’d be better off using another commander that can benefit that.

Also fling, and a creature altered to be Mike Foley/Mankind.
