World Shaper Commander Deck Upgrade Guide

World Breaker is a seven-mana 5/7 Eldrazi with reach that exiles an artifact, enchantment or land when you cast it. It is not a card Szarel decks usually play.

Tannuk, Memorial Ensign is a 2/4 for {1}{R}{G}. Whenever a land enters under your control it deals 1 damage to each opponent, and the second time each turn it also draws you a card. It is the highest-scoring card the precon leaves out apart from Zuran Orb, and a three-drop that pays you for every land.

Wastes is a colourless basic land in a three-colour deck with 42 lands. It is played in about one Szarel deck in ten.

Nahiri's Lithoforming costs {X}{R}{R}: sacrifice X lands, draw a card for each, and you may play X additional lands this turn. Each sacrifice pays Szarel, and each land you replay from the graveyard is landfall.

Groundskeeper is a 1/1 that returns a basic land from your graveyard to your hand for {1}{G}. Szarel already lets you play lands from the graveyard.

Sabotender is a creature with reach for {1}{R}: whenever a land enters under your control, it deals 1 damage to each opponent. A two-drop that pings on every land.

Satyr Wayfinder is a 1/1 for {1}{G} that digs four cards for a land, which is not much in a deck with 42 lands.

Ride the Shoopuf costs {1}{G}: landfall puts a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control. Every land makes a creature bigger, and it becomes a creature itself late in the game.

Formless Genesis makes an X/X Shapeshifter where X is the number of lands in your graveyard, and has retrace. It is played in about one Szarel deck in six.

Ob Nixilis, the Fallen costs {3}{B}{B}: whenever a land enters under your control, you may have a player lose 3 life, and if you do, he gets three +1/+1 counters. A big body that drains for every land.

Centaur Vinecrasher enters with +1/+1 counters equal to the number of lands in all graveyards and can be returned for {G}{G}. It is played in about one Szarel deck in six.

Mightform Harmonizer is a 4/4 for {2}{G}{G}, or {2}{G} with warp. Whenever a land enters under your control it doubles the power of a creature you control until end of turn. Every land is a big attack.

Uurg's power equals the number of lands in your graveyard, it surveils each upkeep, and for {B}{G} and a sacrificed land you gain 2 life. It is played in about one Szarel deck in five.

Zuran Orb costs {0}: sacrifice a land to gain 2 life. It is a free sacrifice outlet, so every land you sacrifice on your turn pays Szarel, and Szarel lets you play it again from the graveyard.

Binding the Old Gods is a four-mana Saga that destroys a nonland permanent, fetches a Forest and gives deathtouch. It is played in about one Szarel deck in five.

Azusa, Lost but Seeking is a 1/2 Human Monk for {2}{G} that lets you play two additional lands each turn. Szarel's lands come back from the graveyard, and this gets them down faster. It is the highest-scoring card the precon leaves out.

Scute Swarm is a 1/1 Insect for {2}{G}. Landfall: whenever a land enters under your control you create a 1/1 Insect, or a copy of Scute Swarm if you control six or more lands. A land every turn is an army by the end of the game.
