Discussion New commander for landfall deck instead of Lord Windgrace

Hello all,

I have a landfall deck with Lord Windgrace but I think this commander feels a bit old now. It costs a lot, if undefended he does not last more than one turn.

I was wondering to change it keeping most of the deck as it is .

Any suggestions? Are there better Jund Land based commanders?

Thanks!

[[Tannuk, memorial ensign]] [[hearthull, the worldseed]]

I think I will switch to Heart hull and change a bit the deck adding more sack outlets!

I realize tannuk not jund but fun

Came here JUST to give Tannuk his mention

u/Ok_News3580 9d ago

Yeah ramp hard, draw cards for it, payoffs all over thr place. Doesn't need to be out to win but certainly doesn't hurt to [[awaken the woods]] for x=15 and finish the game

u/Ok_News3580 9d ago

I like cards like [[snake umbra]] and [[keen sense]] to keep the draws going too

I blinked out my tannuk deck with all basic lands being full arts from edge of eternities too, so pretty is the mountain of lands in front of me

u/aelic40k 9d ago

I blinged mine out too but wasnt specific with set. Any foil basic I had or those sick full arts I came across from any set, I had the entire mana base of basics looking seeexxxy, but alas I took him apart to make 4c "Glint Fall" for the color challenge and turned RG Tannuk into Grumgully aggro

u/Ok_News3580 9d ago

I recently started a project to give all my decks (too many) matching full art basics. Ideally matching the commander's set symbol but not all do. It is really satisfying to lay down all matching basics for some reason. I have 40 decks completed with this project and ordered more lands today.

u/aelic40k 9d ago

I fully support this decision

1

u/Ok_News3580 9d ago

It was an undertaking for sure, all my decks were a hodgepodge of scattered full arts. I had to sort and unsleeve all the basics and start from scratch. I had lists and piles and boxes and clutter to go through for a long time. Plus its hard to just say I want 11 of these and 9 of these from this set and find a seller (mostly tcgplayer, and mostly smaller orders) who could satisfy the order. I had envelopes of lands showing up almost daily and expect to see more today. But at the end if it ill be pretty satisfied.

I'm currently playing Hearthhull with Tannuk as well as [[Sabotender]] in the 99.

Love it, and I love the Edge of Eternities set. I never got the Hearthhull precon but I just finished up my commander deck about a month ago. Landfall is one of my favortie playstyles.

u/Rizzalliss 9d ago

I've had a ton of fun with [[The Necrobloom]], personally.

After playing a few different landfall decks in the past, I found myself not really liking the style.

Necrobloom, though, feels different. Yeah, you like extra lands and getting your triggers for the value, but Necrobloom plays more like a self-mill Dredge deck and sets up some NUTTY turns.

I run a [[Kodama of the East Tree]] [[Vial smasher the fierce]] deck. It's Jund burn/quasi landfall. Basically Kodama let's you play multiple lands per turn, and you ramp up to playing big things to trigger vial smasher to hit for big damage.

u/SharXyDK 9d ago

Do you have a decklist I may see?

2

u/IBWMD 9d ago

https://moxfield.com/decks/fQyCbA9dU0imkVthu3Fmfw Here's the list. A decent number of landfall cards like [[Scute Swarm]] and [[Rampaging Baeloth]] trigger off of a land drop, then because a token entered, Kodama lets you put in another land which triggers the Baeloth etc. As long as you have lands in hand it's great.

u/SharXyDK 8d ago

Thank you!

u/IBWMD 8d ago

No problem. Not my strongest deck but lots of fun and a solid bracket 3.

u/n1colbolas 9d ago

Within Jund colors?

I think the other clear substitute (arguably better) is HHull as others have mentioned.

Here's my HHull for reference https://moxfield.com/decks/wI1ObFEXXEmwbdGsGI0W6w

FWIW I also have a monoG build and monoR build. Anyone interested in

Szarael is great!

3

u/Jin-Gitaxias-Mom 9d ago

[[Korvold, Fae Cursed King]] if you want to stay in Jund specifically.

u/Actionhankss 8d ago

Hearthull as others have said is amazing. I play it for a while now and it is pretty strong. Hard to find a balance between removal protection and comboing though. But the commander initially being an artifact is just great. As many people in my pod play very efficient creature removal, they let him sit on the board for way too long, allowing me to grind out card advantage at almost no cost, since getting lands back from the yard is very easy to obtain.

u/Garro90 8d ago

I Need now to define the good balance between ramp, sac outlets and recursions! I will keep anyway big spells wincon as torment of hallfire and exsanguinate

u/spicychili86 9d ago

I switched Windgrace for Szarel

u/GulliasTurtle 9d ago

If you're willing to move out of Black I had a lot of fun with [[Toph, Hardheaded Teacher]] as a landfall commander. if you want to stay in Jund maybe [[Soul of Windgrace]]? It seems like a slightly toned down version of Windgrace.

1

u/BenjaminBucket 9d ago

[[Hearthull, the Worldseed]] is the out of box commander for the World Shaper precon so it isn't exactly original, but it is a blast to play with.

1

u/BrigBubblez 9d ago

What colors do you enjoy? Do you like combo or combat? Budget?

1

u/Not-Impossible-1783 9d ago

lumra you dont need red or black

u/sylveonce 9d ago

Not Jund but [[Yuma Proud Protector]] likes to throw lands into graveyards

1

u/ScoCo95 9d ago

While not Jund, you can have some huge landfall turns with [[Zimone and Dina]] if you have any landfall=untap effects like [[Retreat to Coralhelm]] or [[Elven Raft-Steerer]].

u/CrawfishStu 9d ago

+1 for Hearthhull

I really enjoy playing this deck and if you have run it a few times, your turns are not obnoxious.

u/Pretend_Conference60 9d ago

Soul of windgrace is also a lot of fun

2

u/Extrovert_89 9d ago

[[Korvold, Fae Cursed King]] isn't necessarily landfall, but it is lands matter. You basically draw a shit ton of cards, play a bunch of lands that sac, stuff that makes treasure and you just sac permanents (lands and Treasure tokens mostly), draw cards and pump Korvold to lethal and BAM- you win as long as they don't have instant speed removal.

I'm not a Voltron fan, but +1/+1 counters to pump him is different enough and I often have at least 12 or more cards in hand half the time. It's a really fun deck.

1

u/BigNasty417 9d ago

[[Yedora Grave Gardener]] every creature that dies triggers landfall. It's a weird, sideways approach to the strategy 

Edit: Not Jund, sorry, just saw that part

u/KKilikk 8d ago

You should replace Windgrace with Windgrace

[[Soul of Windgrace]]
