Winota Army (EDH / Commander) [Revision 29]

Winota is a super cool Commander! Pretty fast, very fun. Board can go from 3 to 15 creatures very quickly.

The goal of this deck is very straight forward, play non-human creatures, play Winota, get the human boi's out, swing fast and hard. The rest of the deck is centered around buffing the boi's, and protecting the boi's. The deck is still in its early phases, but I'll be working hard to optimize it to the best of my ability.

Some wish-listed cards for the deck are definitely arid mesa, enlightened tutor, mana crypt, and plateau (but they're expensive haha).

I'm interested in exploring additional combat spells because I think that would be a cool avenue to explore, it just also requires that I give my creatures haste. But I'm also not 100% sold on the idea...

The cards currently at the forefront for being put into the deck are Archetype of Aggression, Boros Charm, Chance for Glory, Eldrazi Monument, Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero, and Palace Jailer. Aggression for Trample (something that I feel the deck could use from time to time), Charm as a different protection spell (maybe?), Glory for well... glory, Monument (over Cathars') for protection and buffs, Gerrard for board wipe protection (replacing an instant, my thought being that I'm more likely to flip Gerrard onto the board than draw a protection spell, maybe replace broodmoth?), and Jailer for spot removal (and monarch).

After playing a handful of games with the deck, I'm fairly confident that removing Helm of the Host was a good idea as it didn't quite fit (too pricey and often too slow). Adding Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx has been amazing since this deck gets a lot of creatures out, and most of them do a good job contributing to devotion. I still enjoy the idea of Embercleave, but again, I'm not sure how effective they'll be in the deck, I haven't seen it yet and I usually will want Godo to pull something else onto the battlefield, namely Sword of the Animist (ramp) or Sunforger (protection).

Last note, The sideboard is full of cards I'm considering adding to the deck, and the maybeboard is now full of cards I've recently cut from the deck.

If you've read this far, thanks! Let me know what you think and where you think I can improve the deck, this is definitely a new favorite among my decks and something I'll be working on for a while.
