Notes
Power level: 5.0 - 5.5 / Bracket 3
Overview:
This Radha, Heart of Keld deck focuses on land acceleration and combat-based value generation, leveraging landfall triggers and power-scaling creatures. While capable of explosive turns through land ramp and token generation, it lacks deterministic combos and relies on incremental board development. The deck operates at midrange speeds with moderate interaction and resilience.
Primer:
Core Strategy: The deck aims to flood the board with lands and landfall-triggered tokens while scaling creature power through land count synergies. Key phases:
Land Surge: Use multiple land plays per turn (Exploration, Druid Class) to trigger landfall effects from Scute Swarm, Avenger of Zendikar, and Rampaging Baloths.
Power Amplification: Equip Blackblade Reforged or activate Kessig Wolf Run on Radha/other creatures, leveraging the deck's high land count for lethal commander damage.
Board Conversion: Use mass pump effects like Overwhelming Stampede and Xenagos, God of Revels to convert token armies into lethal threats.
Mulligan Priorities:
3+ lands with at least 1 green source
Early ramp (Nature's Lore, Three Visits)
Landplay enablers (Oracle of Mul Daya, Augur of Autumn) Avoid hands without land acceleration or payoff cards.
Key Tips:
Sequence land drops before creature plays to maximize Valakut Exploration value
Use Heroic Intervention proactively before board wipes
Prioritize casting Ashaya, Soul of the Wild to turn creatures into additional land triggers
Avoid Traps:
Overcommitting to board before establishing protection
Holding interaction instead of progressing board state
Using Fling effects without guaranteed lethal
Weaknesses:
Critical:
No protection for key creatures beyond Heroic Intervention
Weak to land destruction/Confounding Conundrum effects
Moderate:
Slow recovery from board wipes
Limited card advantage engines
Minor:
Some high-CMC cards (e.g., Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger) risk being dead draws
Most Important Cards:
Ashaya, Soul of the Wild
Oracle of Mul Daya
Ancient Greenwarden
Avenger of Zendikar
Xenagos, God of Revels
Blackblade Reforged
Kessig Wolf Run
Scute Swarm
Overwhelming Stampede
Phylath, World Sculptor
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 5/10
Goldfish win potential around T8-9 through landfall token swarm or pumped commander damage
No fast mana or 1-2 card combos accelerate wins
Resilience: 4/10
Limited protection (only 3 protection spells)
Moderate recursion (Eternal Witness, Timeless Witness)
Vulnerable to stax pieces affecting land plays
Consistency: 6/10
8 land tutors and 3 card advantage engines
Redundant landplay effects but limited creature tutors
Topdeck manipulation through Radha/Augur of Autumn
Interaction: 5/10
10 targeted removal spells (mix of A/B-tier)
No counterspells beyond Tibalt's Trickery
Board wipes lack selectivity (Chain Reaction, Blasphemous Act)
Rating Justification:
This deck sits between "Optimized Casual" (5.0) and "High-Power Casual" (5.5) in the rubric. It exceeds precon-level power with focused land synergies and tutor density but lacks:
cEDH staples/free interaction
Turn 8-10 win consistency vs. optimized decks
Resilient combo finishers
The 15-interaction count and T8-10 goldfish align with 5.0-5.5 benchmarks. Upgrades adding Defense of the Heart/Craterhoof Behemoth and free protection would push it higher.
