Homer, the Hermit

Homer, the Hermit Commander Deck

by zenith_ally100 cards

A cEDH-style lands deck that turns land drops into mill and value through Homer, the Hermit. Homer counts Crabs and similar creature types, so changelings, Arcane Adaptation (naming Crab) and token copies multiply his landfall mill, which can hit opponents or the deck itself. Self-mill feeds lands back onto the battlefield through Hedge Shredder, graveyard land-play effects and mass land reanimation. Extra land drops, fetchlands and land sacrifice outlets keep the landfall chain going, backed by fast mana, tutors and a free counterspell suite. How it wins: Homer, the Hermit with Hedge Shredder loops self-mill into lands entering, landing nearly the whole library and milling every opponent out, while Thassa's Oracle can also win off an emptied library. Key roles: - Crab count multipliers: Making the board full of Crabs raises the number of cards each of Homer, the Hermit's landfall triggers mills, turning every land into a lethal-sized mill hit. (Arcane Adaptation, Springleaf Parade, Spark Double) - Mill-to-battlefield loop: Effects that put milled lands onto the battlefield turn self-mill into more landfall, so Homer, the Hermit can mill the deck into play and opponents out. (Hedge Shredder, Icetill Explorer, Colossal Grave-Reaver) - Extra land drops and land recursion: Extra land plays, playing lands from the graveyard and returning all lands at once create bursts of landfall triggers in a single turn. (Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, Aftermath Analyst) - Landfall payoffs: Additional landfall creatures add mill, tokens, mana and card draw, and Traveling Chocobo doubles each trigger. (Hedron Crab, Ruin Crab, Traveling Chocobo) - Land sacrifice and fetch engine: Fetchlands and sacrifice outlets give two landfall triggers per land and feed lands to the graveyard for recursion and card draw. (The Gitrog Monster, Squandered Resources, Scapeshift) - Alternate win and tutor package: Tutors, creature search and reanimation assemble the combo or land Thassa's Oracle once the deck has milled itself near empty. (Thassa's Oracle, Finale of Devastation, Demonic Tutor)
