Since the banning of Ramunap Ruins from Standard, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering’s Desert land type has f꧟allen off the radar somewhat. All that is set to change in Outlaws of Thunder Junction, however, which not only brings some hot new Deserts to the table, but a whole Commander deck dedicated to them in Desert Blo𝕴om.

This is a deck all about lands, Desert lands mostly, and stuffing them👍 into your graveyard as quickly as possible to power up some truly nasty syneඣrgies and combos. It’s a flavor home-run to be sure, but the deck also features some seriously powerful cards for Commander and beyond. For us, these are the brightest Blooms the Desert has to offer.

10 💝Sand Scout

Two Throwbacks On A 2/2 Body

Reading S🔜and Scout’s text box is like being repeatedly punched in the face by the past. Not only is the first ability a dustier variant 🐲on Knight of the White Orchid’s, but the second creates tri-colour Sand Warrior tokens that harken back to Hazezon Tamar, one of the titular legends from Legends.

There’s more to enjoy here than just nostalgia, however. Dedicated Desert decks will often find themselves down on lands due to sacrificing them, making the first ability 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:near-guaranteed ramp. The second, while afflicted with the dreaded ‘once per turn’ clause,🌌 is also a great way of building board presence as you shenaniganize elsewhere.

9 Yuma, Proud Pr🥀otector

Scorched Earth Made Flesh

If you’re planning to go all-in on the ‘lands in graveyard’ sub-theme of Desert Bloom, then Yuma is the commander to do it with. Not only does he cost less f🦄or each land you stack in your yard, handily dodging much of his commander tax, but he also rewards you with tokens whenever you toss another on the pile.

The latter ability only works withꦍ Deserts, of course, but there are plenty of those to choose from, and the synergy with Dune Chanter (more on that later) is as powerful as it is obvious. He’s cheap, he draws you cards, he makes 4/2s: what’s 🎃not to love?

8 ꦓ Cataclysmic🌼 Prospecting

Get Cashback On Your Board Wipe

Red has no shortage of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:great board wipes to choose from in Commander, but Cataclysmic Prospecting brings a unique edgℱe that may just earn it a spot regardless. While it’s not p💜articularly efficient in its cost-to-damage ratio, any Desert mana you spend on it is refunded in the form of tapped Treasures.

You can use these Treasures to fuel huge plays on your next turn, which you’ll likely survive until since you’ve just cleared the board. It feels fair since the Treasures enter tapped, but that doeꦚsn’t stop Prospecting from being a🍌 great addition to any Desert-focused deck.

7 💃 Dune Chanter ✅

Turn Your Deck Into A Sandpit

It may not be one of the face cards of Desert Bloom, but Dune Chanter is nevertheless theꦺ most important card in the deck. Not only does it turn all your lands into Deserts, making up for the limited options available in the land type, but it also lets you mill cards, enabling many of the ‘lands in graveyard’ synergies the deck offers.

Both of these effects are interesting and powerful enough to land the Chanter a spot in many green decks, and that’s before you factor in the mana-fixing ability: ಞan effect that feels unnecessary but welcome. Give the Chanter a go and you’re sure to be singing its praises before long.

6 💞 Embrace The Unknown

What’s That? It’s The Unknown!

Drawing two cards for three mana hasn’t been exciting outside of Limited for a long time, but throw retrace into the mix and suddenly everything changes. With that small addition, Embrace the Unknown goes from a mediocre draw spell to a late-ga𓂃me value engine, and one that can fuel Desert Bloom’s overall gameplan to boot.

🔴The cards you ‘draw’ with Embrace are, unfortunately, temporary, but that hardly matters when you consider the raw card advantage it can get you over the course of a game. Ever wished you could swap a late-game land for two real cards? Embrace lets you do just that, as many t💃imes as you like.

5 💯 Cactus Preserve

Spiky In Form And Function

Move over Dark Depths, there’s a new 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:powerhouse creature land in town. Cactus Preserve can, for a mere three mana, become a creature with stats equal to your commander’s mana value. An ability that,⛦ crucially, doesn’t even require your commander to actually be in play.

This means that you can be swinging with a 12/12 as early as turn four in the right deck, threatening to take over 25 percent of an opponent’s life away before they&rsqu💎o;ve finished setting up their mana rocks. The card has incredible synergy with Ghalta, Primal Hunger, but works just as well with Eldrazi Titans, too, if that’s 𒅌more your bag.

4 Rumbleweed ♏ ꧋

A Terrifying Force Of Nature

Since the surprise breakout of Lumbering Megasloth♐ from the Fallout Commander decks, the collective eyes of the playerbase are, more than ever, trained on cards like Rumbleweed. And while it likely doesn’t have quite the same eternal potential as its Mutant cousin, Rumbleweed is still a card with applications in Commander and beyond.

In the right deck, it can come down as an 8/8 fไor just one mana and do a very passable Craterhoof Behemoth impression, turning a board full of tokens into a game-ending threat. Any kind of self-mill or Dredge strategy can probably do this fairly early, and it may even find its way into modified versions of Elves, too.

3 Angel Of Indemnity 🅰

Bring Your Best Back For More

At a base level, Angel of Indemnity is an extremely efficient card. It’s been a while since a 5/5 flier with lifelink was exciting for six mana, but getting to reanimate anything that costs four or less is a very nice addition, giv♉ing you scope for all sorts of shenanigans. Oh, and did we mention it has encore too?

Eight mana for, at minimum, three 5/5 lifelinking fliers swinging in and three permanents from your graveyard, is an absurd rate. It’s the kind of card that can swing a losing game in your favor, rebuild after a board wipe, or even just 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:assemble a full combo from your graveyard in one swoop. There are few white decks that wouldn&rsquo෴;t benefit 𒈔from including this beast.

2 Kirri, Talented Sprout 💮 🍒

How Does Your Garden Grow?

As befits his offbeat art, Kirri is one of the more unusual Lords we’ve seen in a good while. He buffs the power of your Pla𝔍nts and Treefolk, ope♌ning up aggressive strategies for both, and also lets you dig one up from your graveyard each turn, to replace those that fall in battle.

These two effects combine to create a solid Aggro commander, poor statꦰs aside. The fact that he can also recur lands is what really pushes Kirri over the edge, however, letting him serve as a Crucible of Worlds-esque effect if you need it. Fans of landfall, channel lands, and the like will find a lot to love in this little guy.

1 Vengeful Re🎃growth ꦅ

Sow The Seeds Of War

In a normal deck, Vengeful Regrowth’s ability to reanimate three lands wouldn’t be much to write home about. But in Desert Bloom, and indeed any deck with any kind of self-mill theme, it&rs🉐quo;s a powerful source of mid-game ramp that builds you a board in the process.

The 4/2 Plant tokens address a common problem with ramp cards, that they make you ‘pass’ the turns where you cast them, giving Regrowth a leg-up on the competition. The flashback also serves double duty here, both 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:synergising with self-mill decks and all🌟owing double value if you do happen to draw the card rather than mil🔜l it.
