Terrian, World Tyrant Commander Deck Tech

Terrian, World Tyrant

by Nicholas Gregory

Ooze the Best Dinosaur? Terrian!

Not all dinos are carnivores; unlike Tyrox from last week, Terrian, World Tyrant

High-Power Creatures

In green, we want the beats to start early and often. Ideally, we'd start with a mana dork and then proceed to add big, beefy bodies to the board turn after turn until our opponents are dead. With enough of those bodies, including our commander, we won't run out of creatures anytime soon.

For the most part, we want our big beefy beatsticks to single-handedly qualify as a board state, like Tyrranax Rex

Verdurous Gearhulk

While we have enough threats that we don't need to draw deep into the deck, as our topdecks are fairly strong, it's still helpful to weave some card draw into the deck. Garruk's Packleader

Ramp

Drumhunter

Fanatic of Rhonas

Shaman of Forgotten Ways

Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma

Board Effects

One of the dangerous aspects of stompy decks, and a big reason I hesitate to play them, is that they are susceptible to board stalls. While we can keep adding to the board, and some of our creatures do not have finite power, we need cards that grant our board evasion, like Roughshod Mentor

Garruk's Uprising

Removal

Our removal choices are... non-traditional, to say the least. Like with the rest of the deck, we want as many incidental bodies as possible. As a result, we use Druid of Purification

Beast Within

The general plan is to make ramp the first couple of turns, then start beating in with large creatures and break board stalls if and when they arise, via board buffs or timely removal spells.
