Omnath, Commander Of Elementals

Omnath is already great with a land recursion theme, but powering up your elementals could make this great. Shared Animosity also helps if doing this aggressive tribal build that doesn’t mind losing creatures.

Welcome to another Gruuling Wednesday! This week’s article features a very irate elemental: Omnath, Locus of Rage!

The primary focus of this deck will be Elemental tribal with a small supported sub-theme of landfall. The former is unique to Omnath, Locus of Rage. There are many unique utility cards, including an Elemental tutor in the form of Flamekin Harbinger. The deck also runs fetch lands to trigger landfall additional times, churning out as many elementals as possible. The flashiest thing  is to sacrifice multiple elementals to Ashnod’s Altar or Seething Pathblazer while Omnath Locus of Rage is equipped with Grafted Exoskeleton, to close out the game quickly through infect damage.

    The second theme in the deck is positioned around the card Scapeshift. When paired with Prismatic Omen, all lands become mountains, meaning each additional land entering the battlefield triggers Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle.

A few similar-yet-different variations on Scapeshift appear in the forms of Boundless Realms and Splendid Reclamation. The former is a massive ramp spell searches out a number of basics equal to the number of lands you control, and the latter returns all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield. Keep in mind that all three of these (Scapeshift, Boundless Realms, and Splendid Reclamation) will trigger Omnath, Locus of Rage’s landfall ability, creating a 5/5 Red and Green Elemental for each land that enters the battlefield. In order to further capitalize on this, the deck contains both Fires of Yaviama and Anger to give creatures you control haste.

Another noteworthy Elemental that benefits off of fetch lands and Scapeshift is Titania, Protector of Argoth. Not only does she create more elementals for Omnath, but she also can return a valuable land like Valakut to the battlefield in case it gets destroyed. In a way, she serves as a secondary general to the deck in the instance that Omnath has either died too many times, or is simply unable to be cast.

Crucible of Worlds and Ranumap Excavator continue to allow this deck to use fetches to generate elemental tokens and stay in the game. Nissas Vital Force and Worldwaker also continue to provide mana acceleration while providing elemental synergy as well. The rest of the decklist can be found here:

My Locus of Rage deck, We Have an Army, We Have An Omnath on tapped out

Another Omnath, Locus of Rage question: If I have one on the battlefield, and cast a second one. One of the Omnath's will have to be 'sacrificed' due to Legendary State-based effect. If I choose to Sacrifice Omnath #1 on the battlefield, does his LTB ability trigger? Does it also trigger Onmath #2's triggered ability?

Both Omnaths will trigger when one of them dies to the legend rule.
