For week 5 of the Year of Brew, we’ve officially gone off the deep end. Small talk be damned, this is a Landfall deck…. with no GREEN. We’re playing on Hard Mode now, kids. Let’s See what tricks we have up our sleeve.

Deck 5: WUBR (Yore-Tiller)

I love the Landfall mechanic, and this deck is all about triggering it. But I already personally have a Tatyova, Benthic Druid deck, and playing the numerous and busted ramp spells found in green is wayyyy too easy. Let’s liven things up with every color BUT green in this monstrosity.

Before we discuss how we’ll actually get all those triggers, let’s talk payoffs. Roil Elemental and Geode Rager are phenomenal for disrupting our opponents and letting us get aggressive. Emeria Shepherd gives us necessary recursion and we have a number of Spitfire Lagac -esque cards to burn down our opponents.

Now, on to doing the green thing, without the green. We have all the classics, Solemn Simulacrum , Burnished Hart , and Wayfarer’s Bauble , as well as new “catch-up” cards like Cartographer’s Hawk and Keeper of the Accord . Another spicy include is Dreamscape Artist , a repeatable Harrow on a stick in blue.

Another way to keep our Landfall triggers happening consistently is to hit land drops every turn. Bounce lands a la Boros Garrison , as well as mana rocks like Fieldmist Borderpost keep a steady stream of lands for us to play. Plus, keeping our land counts lower than our greedy green opponents makes our Magus of the Balance and Fall of the Thran that much better… teehee.

Lastly we have a ton of ways to recur lands. Sun Titan is just good, but Brought Back and Second Sunrise are perfect after a turn of cracking multiple fetchlands or… a massive Nahiri’s Lithoforming .

Oh, and our commander is Breya, Etherium Shaper . Not that I don’t appreciate the most metal (literally) of sorceresses, but she’s our first commander who doesn’t really matter to the deck. Feel free to switch out to a partner combo as you please, though Breya is nice value if plans aren’t executing smoothly.
