Dies to Removal

Leyline of Lifeforce

Pros:
- Uncounterable creature spells mean you definitely get your land. Having uncounterable creatures is nice by itself too.

Cons:
- Somewhat obvious target for removal.

Karametra's a cast trigger, so whether the creature is countered, you still get your land.

Fair.

Chord of Calling

Pros:
- Basically a free creature in a deck with a ton of ramp and bodies.
- Puts tutored creature directly into play, which is pretty broken.

Cons:
-

[card]Faith's Reward[/card]

Pros:
- See Rootborn Defenses.

Cons:
- See Rootborn Defenses, +1 the mana.

Whenever I run a ton of creatures I'm always hyper-aware of how much I could get boned by a wrath.



Rootborn Defenses

Pros:
- Fuck yo' board wipe.

Cons:
- 3 mana is a lot to keep open just tot stop one board wipe.
- Offers no protection from tuck, bounce or exile wipes.

On the subject of anthems...



Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

Pros:
- See Angel of Jubilation, minus the ability to stop shenanigans but with the added benefit of doing slightly more to an empty board. Unless your opponents don't have one either.

Cons:
- See Angel of Jubilation again.

I don't want to assume it will be a normalcy, just shore up defenses against something that could shut Karametra down. But yeah, it can make Wasteland and Strip Mine effects repeatable too. That's a point in it's favor.

Yeah, Dryad Arbor isn't a spell.

Assuming there will be some amount of land destruction, what about...



Helps come back faster from a mass land destruction wipe, and makes Fetches reusable.

Our Karametra player can routinely have all 37 of his lands in play by turn 8-10. I come from a meta where there is no land destruction at all, so my suggestions will likely be jaded by that.

If we're running lots of cheap, little creatures and a ton of land I think this is a good inclusion.



Pros:
- Turns a bunch of little dweebs into a bunch of hulks.

Cons:
- Needs a board presence to be really explosive.

Soul of the Harvest literally has no drawback. Getting a 6/6 for 6 is fair in any color, but adding Trample and a draw engine to that is insane.

Avenger of Zendikar



Pros:
- Win condition if played appropriately.

Cons:
- Basically asks someone for a board wipe.
