Deck Description

Compost- recycled lands that produce food.

Here's the theory: lands synergize with recycling effects, which can be used for massive card advantage and combo into win conditions. All of this goes well with Azmoranblah and Cookbook.

Wrenn and Six and/or Life from the Loam throw this build into overdrive, as they recycle what you need to give you massive advantage, and both are cheap. Get them both going and you'll have more mana than you need and all the card advantage you could ever want every turn.

28 lands seems like a lot, but the three Forgotten Caves and three Tranquil thickets are essentially 1-drop instants that say 'draw 1 card, wait in grave to be recycled'. So there's really 22 lands with the bonus of the build realistically never having to mulligan due to lack of lands. They also are perfection with Wrenn and Six and/or Life from the Loam as well as Asmoranblah's discard necessity. They are also nice grave fillers for Elvish Reclaimer's 3 land requirement. That's picture perfect synergy.

The idealized combo is turn 2 discarding a land and casting Asmoranblah, which fetches a Cookbook. Turn 3 drop Wrenn and Cookbook and start recycling lands to pump Food tokens to build toward the win condition and/or keep you alive and/or remove threats via Asmoranblah's damage abil.

Other than that, it's all land synergy and relying on the ridiculously low curve to get the jump and out material opponent.

Some other fun synergies are:

Elvish Reclaimer will almost certainly be a 3/4 beatstick and can be used to fetch lands/fill the grave/synergize with land recycling. It can also fetch grave hate via the Bog.

Tireless Tracker generates material like crazy in this build and synergizes with high land count/recycling and acts as a win condition as well as upping artifact count if needed.

Urza's Saga fixes grave problems, is recyclable, generates a win condition, and fetches Cookbook if needed.

Buried Ruin recycles fetchable artifacts and is recyclable, so continuous grave hate and/or life gain is possible, as well as landfall for Tracker.

Cookbook and Life from the Loam work great along with Wrenn when necessary, as you can toss the Loam, pull back a cycle land, trip it to draw, redirect to grab Loam and throw lands into the grave. Once you've got enough targets, use the Loam to start fetching and building and you're in MTG synergy heaven. Get mana to get material to get mana to get material.


Use all that synergy to grind out opponent at relative speed into a win.

Feedback appreciated.
