Loot, Exuberant Explorer

Mana value3EDHREC#956

The Commander

You may play an additional land on each of your turns.

{4}{G}{G}, {T}: Look at the top six cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card with mana value less than or equal to the number of lands you control from among them and put it onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.

Guide

Gameplan

Ramp hard, drop extra lands every turn, and use Loot's activated ability to cheat fatties into play for free once you have enough lands. You snowball mana and board presence, then close with big creatures or a landfall/big-mana payoff. Treat the extra land drop as the core engine even before the activation matters.

Strengths

  • Built-in card advantage and ramp via the extra land drop every turn
  • Activated ability cheats expensive creatures into play, dodging cost and saving mana
  • Scales naturally—more lands means bigger creatures off the activation
  • Mono-green keeps the mana base clean and consistent with strong ramp/tutors

Weaknesses

  • Activation is expensive at six mana and taps Loot, making it slow to come online
  • Vulnerable to creature removal; losing Loot stalls the engine
  • Mono-green struggles with interaction, board wipes, and flyers
  • Land destruction or Stax shutting off extra land drops hits hard
  • Activation whiffs if your library is light on high-mana-value creatures

Key Cards

  • CultivateCheap ramp that also fixes and works alongside the extra land drop to accelerate Loot's activation.
  • Crucible of WorldsLets you replay fetched and sacrificed lands, maximizing the bonus land drop every turn.
  • ExplorationStacks with Loot for two extra land drops, supercharging your land count and big-mana plays.
  • Craterhoof BehemothA perfect huge creature to cheat in off the activation for an instant overrun finish.
  • Ramunap ExcavatorRecurs lands from the graveyard to keep dropping extra lands and reload fetch effects.
  • Tireless ProvisionerGenerates treasures and food off your extra land drops, turning landfall into resources.

Upgrade Path

Add more extra-land-drop enablers (Azusa, Lost but Seeking; Oracle of Mul Daya) and land recursion (Crucible, Ramunap Excavator) to make the engine relentless. Tighten the high-end with efficient bombs worth cheating in and tutors like Green Sun's Zenith and Worldly Tutor to find them. Round out with green's best ramp and protection (Heroic Intervention, Veil of Summer) so the commander and your big plays survive interaction.
