Cool decklist! I got 5 different Imoti decks in paper (Artifact, creature, eldrazi tribal, spellslinger and a mix of everything), 3 on historic brawl: with/without keruga and one creature tribal emerge, got 3 decks on MTGO too, 1 goodstuff, 1 budget, 1 extra turns/eldrazi focussed). I might have some possible suggestions for MTGA that you can look into if you want. - Aetherflux reservoir (my only below 5 cmc card that doesn't ramp because it's just that good). - Tireless Provisioner is great with all the land ramp (I'd take it over Lotus Cobra or get Nissa, Resurgent Animist because that will also give card advantage). - Gyre Engineer is also a 3 cmc creature that ramps you too. - Cloud Key and Nylea, keen-Eyed, Defiler of Vigor are amazing if you're that focussed on creatures: 1 cost reduction. Nylea is also card advantage and Defiler of Vigor is an amazing finisher. Goes crazy fast! - Harrow: tap 3 mana to deckthin and to get 2 mana back straight away. If you cascade into it, you basically gain 2 mana. - Grow from the Ashes: if you cascade in it you can pay 2 mana to instantly get 2 mana back or not pay extra and get 1 untapped mana. - Skyclave Relic: ramp 1 or ramp 3 if you got 3 mana extra to spare. - Artistic Refusal: has convoke so can cast it for free in a lot of cases, is a counterspell to protect you and draws cards, if cascaded into it, you just take the draw side to keep on cascading. Sublime Epiphany is similar but without convoke. - Storm of Saruman: if they keep killing your Imoti, you don't just get your imoti cascade but you get an extra ramp spell per turn or a double legendary like kogla or gwenna. - Rishkar's Expertise: cascade, card draw and a free ramp spell from your hand, what would you want more? - Sawtusk Demolisher: mutate 4, cmc still 6, cast it on imoti to get a beefy 6/6 instead of a 3/1 that dies from anything, oh and by the way, it's removal too! - Surrak and Goreclaw: haste enabler, tramplegiver and pumper for your mana dorks and your beefy creatures! It's a must include. - God-Pharaoh's Statue: basically deramps your opponents by 2 per spell they want to play. - Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant: double up your spells, deny opponents spells - Nyxbloom Ancient and Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger: Imoti gets killed a couple of times, you cast these and you get times 3 or times 2 your mana. - Tyrranax Rex: Big beefy boy with haste, hard to remove and deals toxic 4. A good closer. - Nissa, Ascended Animist: 7 cmc but can cast for 5 and 4 health but cascades on 7 cmc. -- Colossal Skyturtle: just a huge fan of this, can disrupt opponents, can return something from the gy, can save imoti if she costs a lot from command zone to set up for next turn, can be regular cast for 7 with ward, ... For lands I also included Hall of Storm Giants and Lair of the Hydra as finishers if you'd run out of gas or have like 20 mana so you can hit the opponent with them. Hope you at least found or try 1 new card with this typed out :) Greets
Didnt realise some of these like provisioner were on arena! They print things all over lol. Good list to look into, I'll try some out :) Dont like the taplands tho! P.S. You don't have Imoti PauperEDH listed and that's my most recent build, hope to get to test it tomorrow!
@@OnlyCascades Well I saw some taplands in your decklist too, these get into play untapped if they are land 1 or 2 :) A few are ok, especially if you play Keruga as you can play tap lands the first turns without negative effect on your game =) PauperEDH on paper or MTGO?
Spectacular suggestions! You do look incredibly experienced with this commander and its multiple deck variations. I have some questions for you! 1. If you happen to have ANY of those decks listed online, please do share them!! 2. I play Commander on paper, what deck version is the strongest/most fun in your opinion, of the ones you mentioned? 3. How many 1-mana elves should we have? Rather bad to cascade into those. I understand that we want to hit them to get to turn-3 Imoti but IMO with 4/99 cards, that's very unlikely. I think we get to Imoti on turn 4 90% of the time, playing 2-mana spells instead of 1-mana would make the deck more reliable by removing the worst-case scenarios. (I know what you are thinking and yes it sounds like Keruga XD I would love to see your deck) 4. How do we find the balance between Creatures-tapping-for-mana ramp vs Land-searching ramp? I guess Prototype has us biasing towards creatures, and is a point towards not playing Keruga 5. Feelings on Myriad Landscape? It does provide you with another 3-mana option to ramp to play Imoti next turn. It's not ideal but it's a backup plan.
@Thundercall1991 sorry I forgot to ask the most important one. How do you manage to keep Imoti alive? Because in a 4-player edh game, it's going to be hard to untap with her. Do we just keep ramping or have you found ways to keep her alive? (I saw your Sawtusk Demolisher suggestion, and while I like it, it is super slow)
Amazing deck!! Loved the editing too, although some things were said a bit too fast to understand them 100%. I do play Commander on paper, what do you feel would change in that scenario?
I have Imoti in paper for pauper edh, and it played pretty similar to the uncommons/commons list I posted. For 'proper' edh, animatou's augury wins the game by itself really. I played it for a bit and keep to the same general idea just with a bump in power. I enjoyed using Keruga in edh, as you can afford to be a tad slower in any meta I played in and the card draw is a good reward.
Aminatou's Augury Needs to be in the format. it is a huge bomb as anything it casts also cascades. I have the deck in both paper and brawl. I love this general. I do play some cards under 5 that are not ramp. Like beanstalk which will draw you tons of cards

@@OnlyCascades I am starting to lean on Keruga too for edh! Also, Aminatou's Augury sounds bonkers with Imoti in play, cascade waterfalls incoming.

Resolving this card might just crash arena! I resolved it in paper once and the game ended there
