I was posting and discussing her last week in a few of my MTG groups. I think she is the one I am looking forward to building. I don't have a 'lands matter' or a mono G deck in my collection yet.
A few cards that I am high on as I build this deck. 1. Riftsweeper - Someone Sword to Plowsharing your Gaea Incarnate means you lose Argoth forever. This allows you to get it back 2. Lotus Vale / Lotus Field - Ramps and puts lands into the graveyard 3. Glacial Chasm - Good way to help stabilize if you become the target especially if you are able to play more than one land per turn. 4. Dark Depths \ Vesuva \ Thespian Stage - Classic land combo that is easy to setup and reuse here. 5. Boseiju Who Endures - Good in any deck that can play green, but really nice here since we can channel it and put it into the graveyard and get it back later. 6. Awaken the Woods / Staff of Titania - New cards from BRO that essentially make Dryad Arbors! 7. Constant Mists / Sunstone - For the same reason Spore Frog is insane in graveyard decks focused around creatures. These can just take over the game and make some decks unable to do anything against us. 8. Crop Rotation is probably an auto include here as well. To a lesser extent Harrow/Roiling Regrowth are worth consideration as well. 9. Tamiyo's Safekeeping and the new Gaea's Gift are great interactions alongside Heroic Intervention. 10. Pir's Whim is another card that can fetch us Argoth or any other utility land and also serve as interaction against opponents. 11. Lastly I like Budoka Gardner as another win con that allows us to create giant elementals every turn.
Oh I forgot Mirrorpool. You can use it to copy things like a Beast Within or Rampant growth...or use it to create a copy of your commander in response to a Sword or Path to Exile and sacking the targeted copy due to the legend rule. This way you keep a copy of your commander in play, but Argoth gets put in the GY instead of Exile.
Those are some great suggestions! Just one thing: Dark Depths doesn't combo with Vesuva though since Vesuva will enter with 10 counters on it, too. Thespian's Stage will work, though.
For sure. You'd be surprised how many times an opponent has overloaded a Cyclonic Rift only for me to go "cool" and then leave all my nontoken creatures and land on the board, much to their bewilderment. Until they really read Ashaya 😂
No, because only creatures on the battlefield are also forest lands, not the ones everywhere else. Ashaya only affects creatures you control (i.e.: the battlefield).
That would definitely be an interesting take since Urza has the potential of storming off a la Jhoira but with W instead of R. However, he doesn't have a built-in draw trigger like Jhoira does.
@@TheCommanderTavern My take is artifact turns and reduction ... yes it can go stacks but that's overly done I'm on track for something fun but I just want someone tossing out their twist
@@TheCommanderTavern Like I feel he could do so much more than what's just the obvious, get his walker side going asap and have a plan B and a gimmick emergency brake glass plan c ... I'm thinking 2nd sun rise
@@bryankoenig7954 Melding him is certainly very easy to do in WU since there're so many W and/or U tutors that can get artifacts from your library. That way you can get The Mightstone and Weakstone out relatively quickly.
Similar to Titania you need to have a plan to deal with exile based removal. If someone exiles your planeswalker the artifact will go to exile while the creatures goes to CZ. Given tha Gaea is a creature and in green there are a few more options there, but still an important part to the strategy.
This is a deck you can accurately refer to as "self land destruction" and enjoy the looks
You know it! ;)

She's definitely a good choice for it!
Thanks!
Thank *you*! Much appreciated!
Zuran Orb is a reasonable target for Urza's Saga
Yup! That's why I put its art in the background ;)

@@TheCommanderTavern Forgot about that, thanks.
The best part of Ashaya to me is the protection from cyclonic rift & mass removal that says destroy all nonland permanents
For sure. You'd be surprised how many times an opponent has overloaded a Cyclonic Rift only for me to go "cool" and then leave all my nontoken creatures and land on the board, much to their bewilderment. Until they really read Ashaya 😂
if ashaya is on the battlefield when you meld would all creatures also return to the battlefield since they are also forest lands?
No, because only creatures on the battlefield are also forest lands, not the ones everywhere else. Ashaya only affects creatures you control (i.e.: the battlefield).

@@TheCommanderTavern Thanks
@@Skankhunt-sj7bk Thank you for reminding me!
@@TheCommanderTavern btw crop rotation also seems like an auto include and nissa who shakes the world could be cool too :)
@@Skankhunt-sj7bk Crop Rotation is definitely an amazing card here because it fetches for Argoth while also getting lands in the graveyard.
Urza lord protector cedh level will be nice
