Elemental Mastery
When reality trembles and the multiverse shudders, there is no force more primal than the raw power of the elements. Horde of Notions stands at the heart of this deck, a conduit for summoning colossal elementals by reanimating them directly from your graveyard. Here, the living earth, flowing water, rushing air, and searing flame become your arsenal. Every grave becomes a potential doorway to unstoppable elemental fury.
Kindling the Flame
No elemental army can rise without being fed from the roots of the world. This deck draws upon potent ramp to ensure that every turn, your mana springs into being. Spells like Growth Spiral, Rampant Growth, Explosive Vegetation, and Khalni Heart Expedition coax lands into play with uncanny speed. Utility lands such as Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse guarantee the right colors at the right time. Mana rocks such as: Commander's Sphere, Arcane Signet, and Darksteel Ingot keep your colors bursting with potential. Jegantha, the Wellspring stands as a living font of mana, her presence alone able to generate the five colors of mana needed to fuel Horde of Notions' ability. With every root and every artifac, you'll gather the resources needed to unleash world-shaking elementals.
Rekindling the Flame
Before you can unleash the elemental onslaught, you must first seed your own graveyard with prime targets. Spells like Faithless Looting, Tormenting Voice, and Thrill of Possibility let you draw and discard with abandon, quietly placing costly elementals such as Woodborn Behemoth, Verdant Force, or Tornado Elemental into your yard. Fact or Fiction forces opponents to agonize over how to organize the two piles, allowing you either to dig up the cards you need or to discard your hefty elementals for later revival. When it’s time to strike, Buried Alive lets you choose three high‑cost elementals, perhaps Magmatic Force, Splinterfright, and Shroudstomper, and place them straight into your graveyard. Then, with Horde of Notions, you activate its power by paying their costs to cast any one of those elementals from YOUR graveyard, bringing the embodiment of elemental fury crashing back into the world.
Calling Forth the Elements
The elementals in this deck offer unmatched adaptability and raw power, each capable of reshaping the battlefield in its own way. Cavalier of Flame brings a threefold boon: granting haste and +1/+0 to your entire army for a little amount of mana, It also lets you discard any number of cards to draw that many cards and finally when it dies it will burst into flames, dealing damage to all your opponents equal to the number of lands in your graveyard, Tornado Elemental soars above ground forces, wiping out any flying threats each time it enters the battlefield, and it's basically unblockable thanks to its mighty winds. Greenwarden of Murasa returns any card from your graveyard to your hand whenever it enters the battlefield, ensuring you can reuse key elementals or utility creatures. Verdant Force floods the battlefield with 1/1 Saproling tokens each upkeep, creating an army of useful bodies. Magmatic Force punishes your adversaries every upkeep by dealing 3 damage to any target, making each turn a potential roasting.
Tyrant of Discord leaves utter devastation in its wake, destroying many permanents when it enters the battlefield, bringing the game state to your advantage. Foundation Breaker and Ingot Chewer provide surgical removal of problematic artifacts and enchantments, while Putrefy and Mortify eliminate creatures, artifacts, or enchantments with brutal efficiency. Night Incarnate ensures that when it dies, its final breath applies –3/–3 to all creatures, wiping away smaller threats in a single stroke.
Reveillark can return two creatures with power 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield when it leaves the arena, reviving staples like Risen Reef, Forgotten Ancient and Embodiment of Spring, or other small elementals for additional value. Shriekmaw destroys a nonblack, nonartifact creature each time it enters the battlefield, serving as removal of troublesome blockers or attackers. Finally, Fertilid ramps your mana by removing one or more +1/+1 counters from itself to fetch a basic land from your library, ensuring your mana base remains as fertile as the forests from which these elementals spring. With these titans at your command, every turn becomes a maelstrom of elemental power and devastation, your opponents will quake beneath each reshaped battlefield.
Turning Ephemeral Into Eternal
In most decks, evoke represents a fleeting flash of power, cast a creature for its evoke cost, enjoy its ETB (enters the battlefield) effect, and then watch it perish before the turn ends. In this deck, however, evoke becomes a pathway to endless value thanks to Horde of Notions. When you cast an elemental such as Mulldrifter or Shriekmaw for their evoke cost, they immediately head to the graveyard once their ability resolves. Rather than lament their departure, you celebrate it! Because each elemental in the bin is another candidate for Horde’s reanimation magic or blink them again when needed in order to trigger their ETB's again with Flickerwisp and Nahiri's Resolve.
Horde of Notions is also capable of unleashed a very special interaction with Crib Swap, by using his ability, he will be able to cast the instant again and again for his pentacolored cost, every single time after being resolved, the white spell will go back to the graveyard, ready to be used again in time of need. If you have Reflections of Littjara you will even be able to copy Crib Swap throwing your opponent boards in complete disarray.
