I Accidentally Made a Selesnya Storm Deck... Karametra, God of Harvests EDH Commander Deck Tech 2024 

Thanks so much for the support everyone it means a lot you’ve enjoyed it 🥳 most of my other deck techs are in a similar style if you want to check those out, and I have many more planned if you’d like to subscribe 💜 I just released another one here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_l478Nq67uQ.html

see this is the type of stuff i want to see from a casual commander deck. focus, acknowledgment of pet cards that still have a purpose, and doing things off the beaten path you see every other deck do

The best part of this video is using the art for the next card as the background and then zooming it into the foreground when it's turn is up. Basically everyone uses on theme mtg art as backgrounds but the editing here is top notch.

I loved how you played the lion, then to throw all of the lands agressively into play

This is the first deck tech on a RU-vid video that I’ve ever been tempted to replicate as it does look like a lot of fun. You did a great job man

Karametra is one of the most versatile Selesnya commanders in the game. I built it around generating +1/+1 Counters, relying on things like Felidar Retreat, Evolution Sage, and other abilities of the like. It's honestly really fun and is built similarly to this storm deck with the exception that there are abilities like Unnatural Growth and cards that grant trample

Awesome deck tech bro, I love how u get through the cards quickly! All the other deck techs I’ve seen read every single card and explain why they work. U seem like a no bs dude😂 respect 👊

Yoooo I've played the core of this deck for years! I'm so happy to see someone else enjoy it!

I've played Karametra for years now, and it is by far my favorite and most powerful deck. It's really cool to see another take on it that isn't enchantress. Great video!

Awesome deck tech! And Fantastic editing too! Will be looking forward to seeing future videos in this style.

As a combo player I've found that even folks I just met for the first time are pretty good about letting me shortcut a combo once the loop has been demonstrated once or twice. So long as you properly explain it to them and haven't been an ass xD Also they typically want you to play something else afterwords but such is the life of combo player....

Fun decklist, I've always wanted to run karametra as a commander. you've just reinvigorated that desire. Thanks for sharing :)

Just finished a list built around Emeria the Sky Ruin, was heavily considering Karametra. Always been a big fan of this card and love the direction you took it in!

Very nice and well made video man love the idea of the deck

Karametra was one of my first Commander decks i buld. i still play her to this day and i just love her mechanics!

Zoran orb and the three green cards that let's you play all your lands taps from your grave yard perfect for this deck

Cool decking seems powerful, I like your stile of videos.

Very engaging man keep it up!

Believe I'm not the first to mention it, but I'm suprised that there isn't an Amulet of Vigor in the list out the gate. That said, a deck where Panglacial Wurm isn't just a meme include but an honestly good card given the deck's strategy is a win in my book.

built rhis deck when karametra was in standard. Superb deck. Very resilient. Hard to lose.

Love this. I had something like this (inspired by a deck seen on a Muddstah video) a few years back, but it had some light stax instead of the combo kill. Subbed. Great stuff.

Pretty good video. Ill try that deck when i next play with my group. I'd also go as far as adding a rite of harmony to draw my entire deck just for the memes and some possible failsafes for that secondary plan

Amazing deck tech, may have to build this myself (with a few tweaks to make it a bit more budget friendly)

This seems like alot of fun.

This looks incredible, I wish I had had this idea before

I like this, the izzetification of non izzet is what I want

Hey man, selesnya enjoyer here. Have my own Karametra list with Primal Surge and no other sorcs/instants but wanted to try something new, found this vid on my recommendations and I really love your take. Will try the list online and maybe brew something similar myself later, thanks for inspiration! Leaving a sub, hope for more similar videos :)

I built a similar deck recently and I highly recommend amulet and concordant crossroads. Have had games where I just combo off and go craterhoof into concordant crossroads and just get lethal that turn. Finale of devastation also facilitates the haste-y strategy, and since most board wipes are sorcery speed I just swapped out a few of those for the haste, tho that most likely made the deck less consistent since if both hasters were on the bottom of my library I could fizzle and get board wiped the next turn.

This is a deck I would love to see a gameplay of. Karametra has long been a favourite of mine, and used to be the alternate commander for my Gerrard cEDH deck to lower its power level.

Great vid

Nice primer!

Wow thank God it’s not another enchantress deck. Really smart design and will definitely be stealing this as I’ve always wanted to make a creature-focused Karametra deck, but could never figure out how to do it as synergistically as you did here. Nice video.

What a fun list! I'd probably run a couple snow basics just to make more different names for field of the dead! This is a very exciting build!

[[Early Harvest]] might be a fun include in this deck? so when you have your whole manabase out and about, you cast this and untap everything

Please do more videos on this format!

Greenbelt rampager is a 3/4 that gives you 3 creature cast triggers for just 1 green mana 3 times. It's great in Animar, and would be great here too

Some of the pet card can be a part of a combo with a sac outlet I am talking about sun titan and saffi. It is not required to do so, just recommendation in case you want to make them part of the plan. An actual recommendation that I like when my commander has important keywords is odric lunarch marshal. Giving all your creatures indestructible in every combat is insane. I had a game with atraxa (4 CMC one) and glissa out. I won that game with 6 spells casted because none of the creature decks on board could get through the flying first strike death touch vigilance lifelink squad. It is not the same but straight up indestructible to all your board so no grull player can get over you sounds great

Super cool deck tech! Karametra was my first ever legendary and mythic I pulled from a booster back in the days. Just a quick thing: (2:19) you are not allowed to look at the top card of your library, let alone play those spells while the permanent that allows you to is on the stack. These static abilities are in effect once the spell has resolved and the creature is in play.

The meta of my playgroup is very board wipe heavy (even creature decks kinda HAVE to use a lot of boardwipes to avoid opponents from snowballing) my karametra deck is very similar to this one, but I also play boardwipes that put all creatures back to the bottom of the deck and Great Aurora to reset the field in my favour once I have tons on lands on board.

i run something similar in a selesnya landfall deck with maja, bretagard protector as a commander, and karametra carry the whole deck

I need this deck in my life ahah

this sounds a lot like the strat for Chulane, Teller of Tales. Interesting version.

Sigarda, Font of Blessings in exchange for Shalai is great! (IMO)

That’s crazy- I legitimately JUST made a deck very similarly on Moxfield. It’s a little bit more budget, but incredibly similar. It doesn’t really loop as well but that’s the cost of budget.

I'm building this as a Primal Surge deck, which went a lot easier then expected. G/W has a lot of permanent based interaction

Hmm. I have a good chunk of the important cards in here. I may have to do some shenanigans

I run a list with similarities but it runs primal surge so drops all the no permanent you mentions. It is a little less small creature and a little ore big bomb. Very similar ramp package but uses wild growth rather than some of the slower ramp options. Mine is probably a little higher power overall as I do run gaiaes cradle, mox diamond etc. To really have some ore explosive starts. Survival of the fittest as well to put together a couple combo wins...

If i may make a couple points as i am upsessed with making the PERFECT karametra deck. If you're playing devoted druid, vizier of remedies is a MUST as it gives you unlimited mana. Also, heliod the sun crowned + walking ballista is a guaranteed win if not countered. Next, winds of Abandon is a huge help as it clears all boards except your own. emeria shepherd + Sakura tribe elder combo gets all your plains out for free, and they're good cards on their own if you're unable to pull off the combo. Finally, elesh norn, mother of machines is a great card to have as karametra and all etb procs twice, shuts down many of your opponents effects, and has great synergy with many cards in the deck such as making scute swarms effect activate FOUR TIMES for every creature you cast, potentially (easily) getting you 1024 scutes in one turn. Any thoughts on these?

Cool build fellow hareruya enjoyer

banger vid

Nice glass canon!

I don't usually watch these types of commander deck videos, although I've played my fair share of commander games, but this vid was great. Short, sweet, and to the point, and it looks fun without being overly complicated, but just complex enough that as someone who plays the game I didn't need to replay the vid to get anything. Fun deck nobody expects. If that's the full list, I'd consider path/swords/nature's claim/ some sort of removal. Doesn't seem like you really need tutors with your redundancies but could consider it.

The "Play lion, trigger" part was so effing funny, I was struggling to get out of my bed, was doomscrolling, clicked on this vid and that *slams 30 lands on the battlefield*made me laugh so hard, I felt good enough to get up.

i run a karametra cedh deck that uses some similar game plans. its admittedly fringe but its beaten out some tier 1 tables. i HEAVILY recommend finale of devastation. give youre entire board at least +10/+10 and tutor out a protection piece

aeve, progenitor ooze and ulvenwald oddity would seem fun in this list

admonition angel works incredibly well with flash cards like yeva here as it uses the old formatting for this type of effect with 2 triggers e.G. admonition angel comboing into 10 flashed out creatures (keeping the landfall on the stack) then lion returning the angel to hand before the exile triggers resolve thus never letting the exiled permanents return sadly since karametra is a cast trigger we can't just wipe the entire board permanently like this with just lion+angel+commander

I basically made this deck back around 2018 out of spite because I was going nuts at the fact that every Karametra deck I saw was an Enchantment deck, which completely ignored her main line of text. My list was a little more mean with using The Great Aurora and Goblin Charbelcher as my primary wincons, assuming I didn't just outvalue the hell out of people with stuff like Tireless Tracker and Bygone Bishop. Also Uncage the Menagerie for X=2 finds any combination of Lotus Cobra, Silvermane Lion, Kor Skyfisher, or if you're just being a terrible person, Devoted Druid, Vizier of Remedies, Duskwatch Recruiter, etc. Also works to just find generically good cards like Selfless Spirit for insurance. Uncage has since become a permanent mainstay in pretty much any Green deck I play due to this deck.

Felidar Sovereing + weather the storm can some how be a way to win if u set up karametra fast and a vedalken orrery and a litle bit luck

I'm so close to 1000 subscribers so each sub is vastly appreciated, thank you! ru-vid.com/show-UCRDVTXywj0lb0_9hCmkroOw

Yo I have this deck! It's hella fun to ramp with if you get the right combos. My main win con for it is Helix Pinnacle as a meme

Great deck tech. But I think with low mana curve and no tutor, it's very risky to have only Beast Whisperer and 3 look at top library style. And then for scaling, I recommend to have mana doubler or even tripler.

Longtime Karametra stan here. The best card I'm not seeing here is Aluren. It's reserved list so it might be out of budget, BUT it kinda just breaks her wide open, especially if the rest of your deck is so low-cmc (basically is just a two-card combo with Whitemane to get all of your lands out). Definitely worth an include if you're on the fence! It might benefit an opponent too, but nine times out of ten you're going to benefit from it significantly more (perhaps running a Kutzil or something to keep your turn interaction free?).

Very sweet. How does the deck play if it doesn't combo off?

Theres that new card that stuff comes in the battlefield untapped too...

there's a green creature card for 4 mana with landfall that makes 2/2 wolves

Starlight parade is one of my fav ways to win due to high creature count

Cloudstone curio would fit too

Is there a Budget Version? I have a quite expensive Sythisdeck and would Like to use some if the expensive pieces while investing on a Budget for a functioning landfall Deck

So…why no Earthcraft? Looks so perfect for the deck.Any reason for the cut? Maybe budget constraints? But you run a Savannah 🤔

Clouds tone curio should be in the deck so lanowar elves can go infinite with a cobra or landfall/ untapped lands effect

I’m genuinely interested in this as a stax commander 😬🤣

You should see my Atogatog edh deck that used slivers and changelings…

Considered including Tangleroot? It's another card that enables Whitemane Lion/Kor Skyfisher spamming.

just off the top of my head I think "Rite of Harmony and Aura Shards" would both me good cards

Panglacial Wurm gaming

5:30 Dawn Charm is weeping rn

I discovered your channel and you may have answered my nagging self inquiry… can I make a GW landfall-ish deck? HELL YEAH!!

Two card suggestions. Delney Streetwise Lookout, and Stone-Seeder Hierophant What do you think about them?

Jeremy @scgcommander needs to play this!!! #CMDRVS

Will you give decklist on Moxfield

nice! any lower cost alternatives?

Neat

Another player lent me this deck when I arrived without any cards. He had to play for two people as I didn't know the combo :(

If you haven't already updated your deck w/ "Amulet of Vigor" or "Spelunking", I highly recommend that you should.

You might live Greensleeves Maro-mancer in this deck. For an unstoppable wave of badgers

Why Saffi instead of Selfless Savior? Karametra doesn't trigger on ETB only cast, and if it's Karametra being removed she's already got indestructable so rarely going to graveyard?

I lihe Dust Elemental because you can save Creatures from removal and cast them again =)

It’s like “worse Seton”. I like it.

Og elesh norn would be a great anthem as well

As soon as Whitemane came down I was down bad for this build. absolutely broken.

If you run rootpath purifier you can effectively search for every land in your deck

Would add aura shards

You should play this at a Japanese EDH table, they love this sort of thing ;)

Bro where is your amulet of vigor? Makes the mana even easier to get

This feels very weak to interaction. Like you removal/protection slots require your engine to already be online. If something goes wrong you have no way to protect Karametra. And without Karametra you gotta rely on having enough dorks to recast her. Plus if a board wipe comes down and you don't protect against it you have no way to rebuild.

This deck would get me put down so quickly in the next game, lmao

I wanna see you play this deck now, perhaps on mtgo

someone cooked here, im gonna borrow this shell for my mass land destruction and mass land resurrection deck im building >:)

Bro cooked

Whitemane Lion, Trigger... *plops 30 lands*
