+Shaun Marvin I also liked the idea of the "sac if cost isn't paid" lands, but really only if you're playing a large excess of lands (like he is, and others do... 46 count here). They're good draws in the late game when Titania is in play, and at worst they're still subpar turn 2+ lands that can make green mana.
You said something about not wanting to get 2 5/3's out of titania with the fetchlands so you coke,d return on to your hand, but you can do this(If I'm correct). When Titania enters the battlefield, her "return a land" abilty goes onto the stack. You could crack the fetch in response, making a 5/3, then have the abilty resolve, returning the fetch so you could get another 5/3 out of it.
CMDRDecks You can't do that. As she enters the battlefield, her ability goes on the stack immediately and must target a land card at that point. If the fetch is sacced in response to get the 5/3, it won't be in the graveyard in time to be targeted. What you said in the video is correct :)
Stripmine, wasteland and those lands that destroy lands can actually be used to make more elementals before your turn, targetting your own lands, for a bigger swing for the victory :D especially when the lack of haste is a huge problem in this deck
egyptcraze Lotus Vale is such a dangerous card to play in other decks that I have always shied away from it, but this is probably the one deck that really wants it!
Pedro Francisco I didn't want to add Terastodon since it is in every other one of my green decks. Horn of Greed is good, but I haven't found myself struggling with card draw yet and I don't want to give cards to the other players if I can help it.
your not using natural balance correctly then. tap all your land to pool sac all of them then play natural balance and every bodies at a happy five. you dont have to make others loose land. its for you to get more. your opponents loosing land is just a bonus if it happens.
***** Scapeshift was part of the original plan for the deck but when I went to make it I realized I didn't have one, so now I am looking to pick one up for it.
Cool deck, but auto add Sol Ring regardless of theme always makes me sad in a theme based format. Also I know this video is older than this card, but just fyi they printed a better Kavu Lair that only triggers for you: tappedout.net/mtg-card/elemental-bond/
Dont want to sound negative; but how do you survive board wipes??? It seems like your entire deck is based around your lands... but as soon as someone denies Titania / Her ability, you have nothing... Say, I enchant her, she's now a 0/4 treefolk with no abilities... How do you come back from that? From what I can see, you don't. I can see a white player casting 2 spells: 1st Grand Abolisher, you now can't activate abilities in his turn. 2nd, Darksteel Mutation. 0/1 indestructible insect... What if you've sued your krosan grip? Do you just scoop?
I would like to point out, Titania is my strongest commander. I have won MANY a game with her, and her OP ability. To the point where I've had people see my combo hit the field and they scoop/fold. I just think this is a very poor example of how to play a deck of her... You dont need taht many "land" related cards. Where is your landfall token spawn? Where is parallel lives and doubling season? Where is your OP as all hell card draw [exception of that 1 card?] Where is your artifact and enchantment hate [you're green FFS]?
+Tprickle Board wipes are tough, but because I have so many ways to get lands on the battlefield I am usually easily able to get her back on the field the following turn. I have never had Titania turned into an 0/4 treefolk nor 0/1 insect. I've also never had a problem with Grand Abolisher, in multiplayer I can just make creatures on another opponents turn.
Sweet land based deck. Very clear and not the easiest commander to build a deck for. Well done ;)
I'm building this! Looks like so much fun
Did some land browsing, rupture spire, transguild promenade, scorched ruins would probably find a nice home here.

Asher Quirion Wow, I think you're right, I never considered that it could work that way, thanks for the tip!
CMDRDecks You can't do that. As she enters the battlefield, her ability goes on the stack immediately and must target a land card at that point. If the fetch is sacced in response to get the 5/3, it won't be in the graveyard in time to be targeted. What you said in the video is correct :)
***** Good to know, thanks!

danielspieluhr You're right, I have used that tactic a few times with the deck already!
I just built an Omnath deck running ways to abuse Titania. I've found that her favourite land to play is Lotus Vale! :)
egyptcraze Lotus Vale is such a dangerous card to play in other decks that I have always shied away from it, but this is probably the one deck that really wants it!
Should consider Hickory Woodlot. It's the tech!
***** If Hickory Woodlot didn't come into play tapped I would be all over it!
dat beard! Sweet deck as always.
Woohoo Titania :)
Built a deck around her as well, Its made for duel commander and its surprisingly strong. Really enjoy it.
This deck is absolutely begging for Scapeshift. Put it in there nowww!!
lefty5736 Alright, alright!
Surpised to see no horn of greed in a deck about playing tons of lands
And I forgot about living wish
needs moar Sprouting Vines
How do you feel about Overlaid Terrain in this type of deck?
Jim Mayland I don't like it, because it forces a sacrifice of all of my lands a removal spell pointed at Titania with it on the stack would hurt.
No Crucible of Worlds?
Jordan Groblewsky Caged sun is also very good. A mana doubler that acts as an anthem for all your creatures
16:40
How about Doubling Season to get two 5/3s from a single land? The more, the better I tink and it would just use a single slot to be effectve.
Neato deck. Why no shamanic revelation?! :'(
***** Shamanic Revelation could be good for this deck, I haven't made any updates with Fate Reforged to any of my decks yet.
how about a Horn of greed and a terrastodon on the deck. horn seems op with all the exploration efects
Pedro Francisco I didn't want to add Terastodon since it is in every other one of my green decks. Horn of Greed is good, but I haven't found myself struggling with card draw yet and I don't want to give cards to the other players if I can help it.

No Scapeshift?

What about Scapeshift?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Michael Dechentreiter Scapeshift has now been added to the deck.
Cool deck, but auto add Sol Ring regardless of theme always makes me sad in a theme based format.

+Tprickle I think Titania is so OP already that the deck doesn't need a bunch of good landfall cards or token multipliers.
Building as we speak LOL
