So this is my first draft of Yeva. She's a solid commander. These are all cards I already had but I'm looking to improve the deck so any suggestions are appreciated!

Kaleo42

Im short on time so i wont look at all of them till later, but it seems like a good start. It's similar to the omnath edh build so i would look through the two recent posts of those for ideas.

BlackJester

I really like Yeva right now too!

If you're running ramp and ETB effects, how about {Cloudstone Cuiro}?  I think, especially with {Seedborn Muse} you could really abuse those effects, as well as bailing out creatures in combat.

What about {Wild Pair}, or {Thragtusk}?

Moneekahh

I find thragtusk to be pretty underwhelming in commander unless you're playing riku. Is  it just me??

By himself, yeah, I can see thragtusk being lackluster in the format. In commander, it's great for combos ({Riku of Two Reflections} as you mention, and flicker or bounce like {Conjurer's Closet} or {Roaring Primadox}) but not too great by itself.

BlackJester

I'm a sucker for synergy/combo. Not too familiar with the format to know what's good though.

Karrthus

❤ the deck, more importantly I love that you put {Lignify} in it. It's very important to annoy your opponent lol

JoeHall

I second BlackJester's suggestion of {Cloudstone Curio}. {Thragtusk} may not be overwhelming in Commander by himself but when paired with the Curio and other Comes-into-Play effects such as {Wood Elves}, {Eternal Witness}, and {Primeval Titan}, he becomes much more of a house.

...maybe that is more "durdly" than you want the deck to be.

Moneekahh

Wow {cloudstone curio}! What an awesome card! 😍

Another awesome card is {Beastmaster Ascension}!

I've had great success with {Praetor's Counsel}.  It really recharges your beats late game.  {Genesis Wave} has proved amazing in my Thrun deck but it's mainly permanents so hits more good things.  {Akroma's Memorial} is amazing on its own but shines when waved out with a bunch creatures.  Other suggestions:
{Avenger of Zendikar}
{Omnath, Locus of Mana}
{Creeping Renaissance}
{Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary}

Moneekahh

Great suggestions guys! I took out {turmtimber basilisk} for {omnath, locus of mana} already. I had a {praetor's counsel} in but ultimately decided against it. I have trades for a {vigor} and a {woodfall primus} in the works currently! :)
