Modular Landfall Series: Part 1 (Gx Landfall, 2 Decks In 1)

[ComingUpCway84]

Hi there! Welcome to the core of my Modular Landfall deck (based on the articles that Tomer from MTGGoldfish released about Kicker and Auras).

I always find it really hard to decide what deck to build, and what strategy I want to focus on on a particular day. I also struggle with wanting to make decks with *similar* themes, but not exactly focused on the same thing. That's why I gravitated so quickly to the idea of a "Modular" EDH deck- a deck that consists of a mono-colour Core (in this case, green), and two sets of augmentative cards of a different colour that allow you to explore the 'core' strategy you're focusing on in different ways!

This core in particular is focusing on Landfall, and currently consists of two decks- one UG Aesi deck (based on my previous list here: https://deckstats.net/decks/13738/1135456-one-hell-of-a-land-lady-2021-r/en) that focuses on generating tons of card advantage and value to win the game using one of several combos; and one GW Maja, Bretagard Protector deck that wants to use our lands to flood the board with tokens and overrun for the win instead! I'm currently working on RG Omnath fatties and BG Gitrog as well, so stay tuned for those!

I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I'm looking forward to tweaking the decks further as I go! For simplicity's sake, I'm going to link both the 'upgrade packs' of cards to morph this core into one of the above strategies, as well as the full decks themselves here. Please feel free to provide feedback, and if you have any other ideas for me I'd love to hear them!!

Hi, we're looking forward to moving this to the primers section of the forum. I have a few questions regarding the primer.

- A technical aspect: could you edit the URLs of your decks to have the "#show_description" argument? Simply add it to the end of the link. It makes it so that the deck description is also shown here. Preferably add most of the body of the text of the primer to the appropriate descriptions. This way you don't have to maintain two instances of guides.

- Could you specify the philosophy behind the budget? What's your overall target, did you have a per-card budget as well?

- What is the use case for this modular deck? What kind of a person would be interested in it and why? Is it for beginners?

- You've outlined the combos pretty nicely but the rest of the deck lacks "instructions". Could you write a detailed guide on how to play the deck: what are keepable hands, what's the game plan before laying out the combos etc. Imagine you were just given this modular deck and you don't know anything about it.

- I'm not seeing a single card discussion anywhere. How did you end up with the combos you did? Why did you exclude cards that would be good for this deck? Why did you include the cards you did? You don't have to go through every single card in the modules but you should make an attempt at pre-emptively answering the "what about X card?" questions.

- Could you elaborate a little on some possible upgrades to this deck? Imagine someone buys this modular deck and they love it: what kind of cards would you recommend for the deck if they have some extra cash?

- It's a little unclear how to modules work. The GW package has two more cards than the UG package.

- Cosima isn't showing up properly in the UG package.

- It says "part 1" in the title. Will there be a sequel?
