Thanks my dude this has given me some insight on lands I need to put in my decks

A while ago, when Golos was still unbanned, I decided to make a 99 land commander myself. It had gates and stuff, but it mostly focused on doing stuff with tokens from Field of the Dead and manlands like Treetop Village. Although it also had a gate package and cards focused around swinging with your commander like Kessig Wolf Run. I still have it uploaded on Tapped Out under the name "Oops! All Lands" for anyone who cares (I'd give the link but it seems either KZread or the channel automatically deletes 'em, just look for the one made by Lobster Emperor!

I played a deck similar to this a number of years ago and people always thought I was getting screwed with all the lands until they realized what I was doing.

This is such a fun idea. I am totally going to adjust this and make a similar deck. I already have Child of Alara as my 5-colour commander so this is a really crazy idea. My casual playgroup won't know how to react.

I built a deck a lot like this once, except in place of a couple lands was Ad Nauseum and The Great Aurora, along with a few tutors. After a few games the child of alara hate gets super real and you stop expecting child to resolve, but it's still fun

Technically commanders hit the graveyard even when going to command zone, the choice you make is whether or not to leave it there.

Use Arixmethes as the commander and it can be a 100 lands deck. It probably wouldn’t work but it would be a 100 land deck.

I have a 99 nonbasic land deck with a Rule 0 commander of Genju of the Realm. The Rule 0 discussion around this card involved clarification that the enchanted land does not do commander damage. And the nonbasic land restriction was to prevent taking advantage of group ramp spells that were prevalent at the time. Super fun

The only Alara deck I've played against didn't really have an overarching theme other than a lot of recursion, but the closest it came was land tribal. It also usually got at least close to winning with Maze's End.

This is a fun deck, and I have already built it for my next get together with my friends. However, so many enchantments can render Child useless until it's destroyed, and the only thing that combats that is Ondu. Regardless, it'll be priceless to see my friends' faces when I run this for the first time. Thanks Mitch

built a very similar list to this, some changes I had were some key nonland cards to help me get Child back whenever it dies and to give it haste for attacks. Even still, I think this list needs a way to find your sac lands, as it struggles if you can't find it. I've been leaning toward running a couple cards like crop rotation /or expedition map to find them.

Barely touched a Magic card in the past 4 years.... but I'm totally adding this deck to my collection ^^

Built this a while back but with Kenrith in the zone and Zirda as companion. But there's also a build that's won more with Kenrith and Obosh and 99 basic lands.

Golos really made my Maze's End deck, Child of Alara is next up but I'm gonna miss all the nonland permanents that boosted to the end.

This is hilariously similar and the antithesis to my Oops No Lands deck that uses the zendikar lands and the weird "mill until you hit a land" cards to lab maniac or thassas oracle myself.

Cool idea. I want to build this. There`s probably a few companions that would fit this deck for free. Obosh, Keruga, Umori... maybe something else too.
