Cut-Rate Commander - Precon Upgrade Guide for the Tricky Terrain Precon from Modern Horizons 3 & its face commander - Omo, Queen of Vesuva. #mtg #commander #modernhorizons3 #edh
Hey folks! Submitted for your approval, we have our 3rd precon upgrade guide for Modern Horizons 3 - this time covering the Tricky Terrain precon and its face commander - The Shapeshifter Queen of Vesuva - Omo, Queen of Vesuva
In this upgrade, we’ll actually be focusing less on the lands aspect of the deck - which, to its credit, the precon has done a very admirable job in supporting - and more on the creature side of the build - as it appears that this precon has almost entirely ignore Omo’s ability to turn our creatures into pseudo-changelings, leaving all that potential untapped. So, in an effort to unlock and unleash that potential, we’ll be adding in a variety of tribal cards to the build - ranging from tribal lords to help empower Omo and eventually our board with the best effects our colors have at their disposal, to tribal payoffs to generate us more and more amounts of ramp, card advantage, and disruption as our we convert our board into all creature types.
We won’t be entirely be ignoring the land portion of our deck through, as we will be augmenting it just a bit more by adding in some additional ways to get lands into play to take advantage of the builds larger than average landbase, as well as some land tutors to get out best lands / land combos into play as reliably as possible - enabling us to bring the full might of Omo & Vesuva against our opponents until the succumb to the overwhelming flexibility and power of our lands/creatures.
Let me know if the comments below if you agree with my choices and/or what you would add to the deck instead.

    Yeah, that's the first thing that came to my mind too when this commander was spoiled. Honestly I was surprised that the deck went all in on lands rather than taking advantage of both aspects of Omo's kit, but hopefully this upgrade fixes that issue (if you consider it to be an issue in the first place that is).

    Thanks Grazzet! Never played a land focused deck before so this should be interesting. I'm thinking this might be something that Spelunking might come in handy to make our tapped lands enter untapped if you happen to draw it? Besides that, appreciate your work! 🙏

    Happy to hear you enjoyed it and I agree that Spelunking would make a good inclusion - this build as a large amount of lands that come into play tapped, so being able to speed them up is always going to be appreciated (and that fact that it cantrips & can potentially get us an extra land drop on top of that is also very nice upside). It sadly didn't make it into this version of the build due to budget contrants, but I could easily see the argument for swapping one of our extra land drop sources for it or just upping the budget a bit to include it. Great suggestion!

    Thanks for your work ! I'd have tried to go slivers road with a bunch of lords you mentionned in your list, especially Azami. I'd add Intruder alarm or Murkfiend Liege because of the tapping ability of many of the creatures you have, and i'd find a way to put Maze of Ith as a huge add to the list especially regarding Omo ability. My 2 cents !

  • @GrazzetMTG

    13 күн бұрын

    Thank you for enjoying it! Untapping effects for our creatures would certainly be solid inclusions to get us double the mileage out of our tap effects, particular our ramp since we have a handful of instant speed ways to spend it & Maze of Ith is a solid utility land too since we can use it both defensively to blank out opponents biggest creature or offensively as a way to remove Omo from combat after she swings to spread her counters and keep her safe (while she allows to tap for mana when we need it to). Great suggestion!

    These are pricey precons (especially the Eldrazi one, but all of them are a bit above average in price), so if budget is a concern - I would say skipping these may be warranted. The Explorers of The Deep precon is a really strong option our of the box and some sellers have it for under $40 before tax and shipping so, if you considering it, it is still be a good option.

    How are we going the get her triggered ability to happen though? She needs to swing, so shouldn't there be some dedicated evasion given to her?

  • @GrazzetMTG

    @GrazzetMTG

    13 күн бұрын

    Good question! The 1st pair of everything counters are free as she ETB's, so no problems there. And then as a low cost 1/5 she should be able to safely swing in for a few turns before enough blockers come up that can actually take her down to spread more counter. After that, that's where our lords come in - which will pump Omo's stats and provide here with keywords that will allow her to more easily survive combat. That said, if you want to add some additional sources of evasion you can certainly do so - especially if you know you group ends up with a lot of stalled baordstate.

    13 күн бұрын

    That would certainly make here better but the always on everything counters is probably overkill. The ability to blow up peoples lands is already frowned upon in our format, so a lot of players only have at most 1 piece of land spot removal (if that) - and making counters work whether on not she's on the field would make interacting with those lands far too difficult for the average deck. There's not a whole lot you can do against a Cloud Post that's tapping for 6+ mana on its own when your not running land removal or haven't drawn into the 1 piece you do have.

But you'll see why soon enough. And regarding Coram, we can probably find the hat and jacket equipment for him as proxies of something (Helm of Champions and Whispersilk Cloak maybe for a more voltron build?) but I may have to include a motorcycle too for the American Badass version, or an over the top edgy cloak for his Ministry of Darkness phase if we're going full gimmick. Also fling, and a creature altered to be Mike Foley/Mankind.

    Not a fan of this upgrade, and going this route feels like a trap. The deck at its core is a ramp deck. Leveraging loci and Urza lands to play large haymakers. Going this direction makes the deck too fragile. Since the tribal stuff needs Omo out constantly to do anything. Whereas in the ramp version you only need her long enough to deploy the big threats. Which is far more realistic.

  • @GrazzetMTG

    13 күн бұрын

    While I can see you point, I personally feel that flat out ignoring half of a commanders kit is doing a disservice to the commander. Simic has no shortage of lands/big mana commanders that can get gigantic threats arguable more efficiently than Omo - but there is no such commander can allow us cheery pick the best tribal synergies for us to take advantage of. That said, if you want to keep her all in on lands and use here as a ramp/big mana style commander - feel free. She can certainly get the job done with the insane amount of mana she can generate us.

    I feel like Omo operating passively helps with this. Rather than a commander that needs to be the bruiser, as long as you can get her back in play, you can swing big on the turn she comes back with the synergies, rather than waiting on summoning sickness to wear off for a bruiser or tap effect commander. Her getting removed is still a risk, but I think the strategy is two-pronged, ramp and synergy.

    Omo is extremely cheap. If your board is going to get wiped, it honestly doesn’t matter if she’s on the field or not. She is able to give any creature any lord effect you want. It’s like a reusable mask wood nexus. She ramps quite a bit. Her impact is quite a lot while she’s on the field, and is quite powerful while she’s on the field. Lord effects also act as evasion as well, which helps protect her.

    Dude what? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. If you want to ramp, just play another simic commander since there’s a lot in these colors that do that… you play Omo to use the abilities, if you want to ramp with her you can, but you’d be better off using another commander that can benefit that.
