Simic Landfall "Reap the Tides" Budget Upgrade Guide | The Command Zone 365 | Magic: The Gathering

can somebody explain to me why that's a Commander Legends product when there is not a single card from Commander Legends in it ?! I mean where pre constructed decks not supposed to give an insight of the set for people who don't want to go through the deck-building process ?

Won a game yesterday with the hydra, boardwipe to return all but krakens serpents etc to the hand and then pump the commander to 21, hit face.

Never liked the card before, but this seemed quite underhandedly cool.

What's better than 1 Tatyova? 2. And also Arixmethes. I'd slot those 2 before cutting all the sea monsters that are still around after you Whelming Wave.

Which you then plop the Archeomancer you just bounced back to your hand and get the wave back.

If you are going to take most of the sea monsters out you might as well take whelming wave out

My first game with this deck I replaced a forest and an island with Shark Typhoon and... some kinda counter I think? Either way, minus those two lands, it played beautifully

Why do I get the feeling they don’t use Lands matter decks very often

Maybe its just me but there feels like a missed opportunity for this. Hear me out.
When doing a video like this why is there not a link to cardkingfom with these selected cards in a bundle type "buy it now" option.
Card kingdom should have a page with link dedicated to "as seen on command zone" section. Not only is there the affiliate link but also using the creator code at checkout making it a double dip for command zone marketing.

chasm skulker is nice in this deck

I mean I rakdos charmed 100+ scute swarms so watch out lol

May I have a link to all the cards to purchase to upgrade my deck?

Basically you turned a good landfall beasts deck into a token deck. And stole 40 minutes of my day. Well done

gotta say, the g-fuel ad in the middle was pretty good guys

Mine is a sea monster tribal with ramp creatures, ramp artifact, ramp spells, ramp enchantments and good stuff (I made mine a no format 200 card deack)

My 2 favorite combos in this deck, evolving wilds and ramunap excavator, as Well as avenger of zendicar and spitting image, I love building up a metric ton of plants and hitting my opponent with them

A few suggestions for the big sea monster route-
Arixmethes- 2BG: Starts as land that ramps you until you've cast 5 spells with it on the table... and turns into a 12/12 that still ramps you
Stormsurge Kraken-3BB: A Hexproof 5/5 BUT as long as you control your commander gets +2/2 and can draw you 2 cards if someone blocks it
Nadir Kraken- 1BB: 2/3 Kraken that can get a +1/1 and make a 1/1 Tentacle Creature Token every time you draw a card if you pay 1 Generic
Tidal Barracuda-3B: 3/4 Fish Any player can cast spells as though they had flash AND
Your opponents can't cast spells during your turn
Koma, Cosmos Serpent-3GGBB: 6/6 Serpent that can't be countered and makes a 3/3 Serpent at the beginning of EACH upkeep.
You can then sac a serpent to tap a creature and blank its activated abilities for a turn OR make Koma indestructible

What about dragon shield stuff:(

pair this with a lvl 3 wizard class and Retreat to Kazandu and the flow is insane

Jace, Wielder of Mysteries for that win condition (that I've actually hit with this deck because, yes it can draw THAT MUCH) ~$5
Blackblade Reforged to boost something an insane amount in this deck ~$0.85
Gush to bounce lands and draw cards ~$0.50
Multani, Yavimaya's Avitar for a trample creature that bounces from the graveyard AND is insane strong in a deck like this ~$1.50
Crop Rotation, Animist's Awakening or Nissa's Pilgrimage for a better land hunt (swap with something like Search for Tommorrow) ~ $1.05, $0.90 and $0.25 respectively
Ruin Crab for making opponents mill cards (Note: not great against graveyard loving decks)~$1.10
Rogue's Passage for getting the big creatures past their defense ~$0.25
Mana Breach for the land bounce that also forces opponents to land bounce ~$2.55
Druid Class for lifegain and extra land play ~$0.40
Wizard Class to have no max hand size which is key in this deck ~$0.65
Broken Bond for target destruction (swap with something else with destruction in deck) plus land drop ~$0.30
Parcelbeast for land drop and card draw ~$0.25
Horn of Greed for extra card draw for everyone (because why not) ~$9
Tada! Look how far I stretched that $25 budget to upgrade this deck!

Also, do NOT remove Nezahal! Can't be countered, no max hand size, card draw that forces opponents to be picky in what they play, AND can be bounced/recast by discarding 3 cards? Sorry Command Zone but you just don't know what your talking about when you say remove this one.

I run this deck at my game store, SuperPowerPlay in Tazewell Tennessee. It’s one of my favorite brand new decks!If you actually play the deck rather than just critique it about how you think it does you find out that it’s really powerful against one player for sure even two players, but has difficulty with three or more. However that being said, if you have access to really good cards, this deck can become a control bounce deck from hell! Adding counter spells like forbid, familiars ruse, and great bounce spells like capsize and Cyclonic Rift, along with creatures like mystic snake, Timeless and Eternal witnesses, Hull Breaker Horror, Memnarch, Gilded Drake, Waterfront Bouncer, Genesis, Zhalfir, a few enchantments and artifacts like Exploration, Survival OTF, Words of Wind, Archmage Ascension, Quicksilver fountain, etc, You could even add great sorceries like Time Stretch, Rite of Replication, this deck teaks of reusable control at the height of efficiency!

First game I played with this deck I drew 66 cards, played 29 lands in under 14 turns, summoned 22 tokens, played my commander four times, completely recovered from a Massacre Girl/Liesa forgotten archangel combo in two turns; and won the game by swinging in for 78 damage. Not to mention the Massacre girl exiled the 10 2/3 plants I got from Avanger of Zendikar. I got all the counters in one turn, the table just immediate removed AOZ. Barely even affected the deck, this thing is such an engine. By the end of the game the only thing I was scared of was running out of basic lands to play. Oh, and I didn’t make a single deck modification. You win again, 20$ simic precon.

You know whats broken? Replacing meteor golem with Alhammaret's Archive. It DOUBLES life gain you could get every land you cast from from Retreat to Kazandu. 4 LIFE PER LAND. and it DOUBLES your card draw for every land you play. Your welcome. Mana is cake in this deck so that just breaks the game cause it only costs 5 colorless mana.... bye

I tryed this precon as one of my first decks i rebuild and got the hydra to a 15/15 in the late game and a lot of ramp
Next 4 other bigshots some times works well some realy not.

saw one guy go scute swarm then Boundless realms, we calculated close to 800k scute swarms. Next player took control of all of them and won. Lol

What I have been taught is that cards like Azusa giving you extra Land drops or Coiling Oracle are no Ramp because Ramping means directly providing oneself with Mana in Form of Lands from the deck or Mana from an effect like Sol Ring, Signets etc. As you already mencioned, those effects dont help you Stack up Mana/ Lands if you dont hit those lands

Bought this deck the other day and played nemesis. 2 against me and I still won with it being just as it is.. this deck is crazy.

Oh man... Such bad decisions about cards to remove...

This is the deck that got me into mtg and I love it! It seems like everything is so expensive but I have had over twenty lands sometimes and can just go ham!

“You’ll maybe have 8 lands in play” me “ok when avenger enters the battle field I’ll create 21 0/1 plant tokens”

Also here is a fun combo “ramunap excavator with swift foot boots playing evolving wild getting 4 land drops per turn (with commander) or 2 land drops with retreat to Kazandu either gaining 8 life per turn or add 4/4 to any creature or gaining 4 life or adding 2/2 to any creature while drawing 4 or 2 cards

Also with stumpsquall hydra if you pay 8 mana for x or any other mana choose how many +1/+1 counters goes on that target you don’t have to distribute them evenly

“A 7 mana 7/7 and discard 3 cards doesn’t seem where you want to be” me with 20+ lands in play 34 cards and opp is at 17 life and me at 45 because of retreat to kazanma

I got this as my first deck and trupsquall hydra is actually good. I always save it for when I have lots of land from the other cards.

Reap the tides was the first commander deck I bought and I have never lost a game with it

I am new to magic. I purchased this deck. I do like it alot. It allowed to last longer in games but not finish my opponents off

I know this is a year late but Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle is a great card for this deck. I find it works better as the commander. Stumpsquall Hydra can put the counters on him while he is a land, and with him being a 12/12, if you play it right, you can one shot someone after a board wipe. He triggers landfall and is immune to those boardwipes too. And being a land makes it harder to destroy, until you need him as a creature.

Step one: get both Land's Wrath and Reap the Tides decks. Step two: get Omnath, Locus of Creation. Step three...Step four: profit

I feel like this change is sort of missing the point of the deck. I'm sure you could make anything focused on tokens or landfall mechanic, but probably that's not what most people who are interested in this deck want to be going for. I think you'd want to play this for big sea monsters, and you switches don't really help much with that if you're just removing all of those monsters.

Got the deck and made a sea monster bounce deck. The return to hand board wipes are imo pretty good, gets around hexproof/indestructible/ward and makes them waste their turn setting up again. Throw in a eternal witness and mystic sanctuary and you can get your board wipes back and do it again every turn, play your board wipe, play EW, bounce all non sea monsters, get EW back in hand, play EW get board wipe back and repeat. Build your board full of sea monsters and bounce everything else and attack directly. Make your opponents choose between building their board or stopping you. Aesi is just there if you want to dig through your deck even faster. Add in unnatural growth and your sea monsters hit for 10+ per creature or Imoti and cascade into other sea monsters.

does anyone have a cardlist of this deck improved?

I just played Magic for the first time with a friend and i'm looking for this deck. I like ramp/big creature decks. I've played other games with that style. It's $45 on Amazon right now. Is that worth to pay that to get a precon commander deck? Any other places i can look for a cheaper option?

Do you guys play with the deck before reviewing it??

i used stumpsquall to turn my aesi into a 21/21

My favourite deck to this day so many ways to build it the commander boring yes but simple and good can’t go wrong even as a precon

funny how 2+ years later, I see this deck on a "Most powerful Precon" episode of the command zone. Had been looking for a new deck, and bought it immediately. Now, I'm looking for upgrades to it to replace semi-obsolete cards like Meteor Golem, and all this video is is slandering Aesi and mana costs. I just got this precon in and had 30+ lands by the time I won.... I know this is old but i'm newish to magic and mtg content lol

Ive had so much fun with this deck already. Ive made a few tweaks and plan to make more, but this thing is super solid as is. I personally think that by getting rid of all the high mana creatures you got rid of what the deck is supposed to be though

No walking atlas???

Personally, I gotta disagree with most of the modifications in this one, the deck as it is is so fun and so cool. By far my favorite commander deck I own. I’ll definitely consider taking out the hydra though, I appreciate how you guys talk through the thought process on making alterations
