Hello and welcome to Daily Commander!

Today we are going to be talking about Titania, Nature’s Force!

Titania is a six mana 6/6 that let’s you play Forests from your graveyard and whenever a Forest you control enters you make a 5/3 Elemental and when an Elemental you control dies you may mill three cards.

Focusing on only one land type is an interesting way to build a deck, and in green it is not going to be that hard to get a bunch of Forests out onto the battlefield and make the most use out of them.

Our goal is to get a huge number of Forest and play with all the cards we can that care about Forests, and let me tell you that is a lot of cards.

Not only that, but with all of the mana that we are going to be producing, this is actually ideal for a Big Green deck, which is personally one of my favorite deck archetypes.

To facilitate being able to cast a bunch of things or one big thing, we need a ton of mana at our disposal. Vernal Bloom adds more mana as does something like Utopia Sprawl, which helps us ramp tremendously, though be aware that Vernal Bloom does affect all Forests, not just yours.

There is also Castle Garenbrig, which adds six green mana for four mana and tap, though that mana can only be used to cast creature spells and activate creature abilities, which is something to keep in mind since because our Commander is also six mana.

There is also Arbor Elf, which untaps a Forest, which if we have either Vernal Bloom or Utopia Sprawl, means we get even more mana from a Forest.

In terms of the best way to get the most mana out of our Forests, that would be Nissa, Who Shakes the World, which makes our Forests get double mana and a has the ultimate of potentially getting all of our Forests onto the battlefield tapped.

The best way to make use of all those Forests are things that are creatures that rely on having more Forests.

Oran-Rief Hydra has decent stats already, but has a Landfall ability where it gets a +1/+1 counter when a land you control comes into play, but it gets two counters if it’s a Forest, which if we manage to get this out and then ultimate Nissa, then we have a big hydra.

We also have Baru, Fist of Krosa which gives all your green creatures +1/+1 and trample whenever a Forest comes into play, which we should be doing at a regular basis to make big threats even bigger threats.

If you want to go wide then there is Beacon of Creation, which makes a 1/1 green Insect creature token for each Forest you control that then shuffles itself back into the deck so we can make use of it later and shuffle our deck if we think we need it.

Also keep in mind that whenever a Forest enters the battlefield we are getting an Elemental from Titania, which means that we are potentially going very wide.

That doesn’t mean we can’t go tall.

If we are able to go wide enough and have enough mana so that even if our opponents have no creatures, then Primeval Protector can make all of our things bigger.

We also have access to anthem effects and power boosting effects in either Sylvan Anthem for the former or Unnatural Growth for the latter, with Unnatural Growth being a better option overall because it makes all combats err on our favor.

With access to a bunch of mana we can also have a bunch of X spells at our disposal, with my personal choice being Neverwinter Hydra which has you roll X d6 to gain counters equal to that roll and trample and Ward 4.

If we go at 38 lands, subtract 2 for the green pips and half to 18 because of Neverwinter Hydra’s XX cost, our minimum is 18 counters while our maximum is 108 counters, averaging about 63 counters. And that’s just lands, not counting extra mana generation.

I love Big Green, mostly because it is very simple to understand numbers go big and we win that way, but in general I have found it difficult to find a Commander that would work with that play style that I enjoy.

Titania might just be that Commander, mostly because it also introduces a go wide strategy to fall back on if we can’t get a big creature to stick. I really like this Commander and may actually build this deck.

Thank you for reading, see you tomorrow for the next Daily Commander!
