Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"Rydia synergizes well with Elementals that trigger off landfall, such as Omanth Locus of Rage, Titania, Greensleeves and the ever present Avenger of Zendikar. \n\nAs you play lands, you discard lands to Rydia's landfall ability in order to get cards that either put more lands into play such as Scapeshift or pull them from your graveyard like Splendid Reclamation. This triggers Rydia again, letting you continue to dig until you have an Elemental token-creating payoff or another win con such as Magmakin Artillerist. \n\nIn most games you will see nearly every card in the deck, which is a big plus if you feel you don't get to enjoy certain cards.\n\nPath to victory and things to know:\nAlways get Rydia down on turn 2"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Get a card like Spelunking, Tiller Engine or Amulet of Vigor down early - these will be the primary enabler of your mana base"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Don't be afraid to discard lands, you'll get them back eventually"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Play fetch lands whenever you can - they give you 2x Rydia triggers each time they land and with an \"untapper\" like Spleunking you can use the mana immediately"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Only put 1 Elemental value engine, like Omnath Locus of Rage, into play at a time - they will eat removal quickly so you need backups available"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Prioritize Anger in your graveyard over Concordant Crossroads and try to save it up for a big turn"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"You will generate large amounts of mana, so Jaya's Immolating Inferno provides a backup win con"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Rydia's secondary ability regarding Sagas does allow shenanigans with Mending of Dominaria and Summon: Titan but this is only if you have nothing else to do"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Quirion Ranger + Ashaya enable an infinite mana combo but in this deck the primary purpose is to get a new landfall trigger by bouncing the ranger and returning it as a forest"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Always get Cool but Rude to the second level, this can burn the table down quickly, especially if Ashaya is in play as every elemental that enters triggers Rydia again"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Don't be afraid to sack all of your lands to Nahiri's Lithoforming or Hew the Entwood - with 40 lands you will find more and with graveyard recursion you will be able to play those lands again"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Likewise don't be afraid to sac lands to Zuran Orb or Sylvan Safekeeper just to enable more land plays from the graveyard, this allows you to dig for solutions if a threat is causing problems"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Recur Decimate when possible to heavily disrupt your opponent's board state"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Summer Bloom + Crucible of Worlds is bonkers with a fetch land as it gives you 6 additional Rydia triggers - Summer Bloom is worth recurring"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Shifting Woodland is another all star for obvious reasons - its hard to remove and lets you effectively \"get back\" an Elemental that was lost to removal. When in doubt, this is what you use crop rotation to find."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth allows your fetch lands to be useful after you've grabbed every basic land"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"This deck is resilient to graveyard hate since it only cares about land in the graveyard in general and not a specific set of cards. You can go off during your turn with cards like Lumra and not need a huge graveyard; however, Endurance is in the deck as a panic button in case you get targeted and want to protect your graveyard. It also serves as a panic button if you would run out of cards."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nGood cards intentionally removed:\nAzusa Lost but Seeking, primarily because she's not an Elemental but otherwise she's an S-tier card in this deck"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Explore is very good in this deck but replaced with Summer Bloom for a spike turn"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Staff of Domination and other infinite mana outlets - Quirion Ranger + Ashaya can get you infinite mana but this deck doesn't need it so the payoffs were removed"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Taiga and Wheel of Fortune - I run these in my physical deck b/c I'm old and have had them for a long time but they aren't really needed - if you wanted to add one, I recommend Wheel - I wanted to keep the price of this deck down since many of the cards aren't cheap"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Most of the good tutors like Worldly Tutor - Rydia digs so fast when you get your engine going that she doesn't need them"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"}]}
