Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, you gain 4 life if this is the first time this ability has resolved this turn. If it's the second time, add . If it's the third time, Omnath deals 4 damage to each opponent and each planeswalker you don't control.
Omnath, Locus of Creation is a four-color landfall value engine: you ramp aggressively, play multiple lands per turn, and convert each land drop into life, mana, and direct damage. The deck grinds incremental advantage off lands while building toward explosive turns where extra land drops generate huge mana and burn the table. You win by snowballing land triggers into big payoffs or by pinging everyone repeatedly with the third landfall trigger.
Built-in card draw, ramp, life gain, and damage all in one commander
Four colors gives access to the best ramp, removal, and card advantage in the format
Extra land drops convert directly into mana and free damage, enabling explosive turns
Resilient value engine that keeps producing even through removal
Color-intensive mana base requires careful fixing despite the help
Wants extra land drops and landfall payoffs to truly shine—weak without them
Can be slow to close games without dedicated win conditions
High visibility makes Omnath a removal magnet, and recasting gets expensive
Landfall payoff that floods the board with Plant tokens scaling with every land you play.
Tighten the mana base with fetchlands, duals, and shocks to enable cheap, repeatable landfall triggers and consistent four-color casting. Add fast ramp (Nature's Lore, Three Visits, Lotus Cobra) and extra-land-drop enablers (Exploration, Azusa, Burgeoning) so you reliably hit the third trigger early. Cap it with deterministic finishers—Scapeshift plus Valakut-style payoffs, Craterhoof Behemoth, or land-loop combos with Strip Mine and Crucible of Worlds for inevitable wins.
