Omnath Landfall
High-power (~8) four-color landfall. The plan is extra land drops + fetches so
Omnath’s 1st/2nd/3rd landfall triggers fire every turn, then bury the table in
tokens and close with Craterhoof or Finale.

Why this commander
Omnath, Locus of Creation
is the best “fairly competitive” landfall seat: four colors, real card/mana/life
for stacking landfalls, and a stack that scales with premium fetches and
Exploration effects. Not full cEDH — it wins through value and board, not
turn-2 Thoracle — but it will punish mid-power pods and keep up at strong tables.
Game plan
Early (T1–T3)
- Ramp with Birds / Delighted Halfling / Sol Ring / Nature’s Lore
- Get Exploration, Burgeoning, or Azusa online
- Omnath on curve; fetch on opponents’ turns when possible
Mid (T4–T6)
- Stack Lotus Cobra + Tireless Provisioner + dryads
- Scute Swarm / Avenger / Felidar Retreat go wide
- Hold Fierce Guardianship / Teferi’s Protection for the blowout
Late / kill
- Craterhoof or Finale of Devastation for X≥10
- Scapeshift → Field of the Dead / Valakut piles
- Splendid Reclamation + Greenwarden for a second explosion
What you beat / lose to
- Favored: fair midrange, battlecruiser, greedy value
- Struggles: true cEDH combo, stax that locks lands, heavy counter wars

Piloting tip
Omnath’s third landfall each turn is the card draw — sequence fetches and
extra drops so you hit three lands in a turn when you need gas. Don’t crack every
fetch on your upkeep if the table is holding interaction; often crack on end step.

Mulligans & sequencing
- Keep hands with 2–3 lands + a ramp or Exploration effect. Four-color greed hands without a green source usually go back.
- Prioritize hitting Omnath on curve over casting a greedy 5-drop first.
- With Scute Swarm out, fetch aggressively; without it, conserve life vs burn/aggro.
- Crop Rotation for Field of the Dead once you have enough differently named lands, or Valakut when mountains are online via Dryad/Yavimaya.
- Don’t cast Craterhoof into open Force — bait interaction with Avenger first when needed.
Budget / power dials
Cheaper: cut Ragavan, original duals/fetches → shocks + more basics; swap Fierce Guardianship → Negate; Great Henge → Beast Whisperer.
Harder: add original duals, Mana Crypt/Chrome Mox (if your group allows), Deflecting Swat, more free interaction — approaches fringe cEDH.
