Desert Bloom Commander Deck Upgrade Guide

Angel of the Ruins is a seven-mana flier that exiles two artifacts or enchantments. It is played in about one Yuma deck in nine.

Desert Warfare costs {3}{G}. Whenever you sacrifice a Desert or a Desert card is put into your graveyard from your hand or library, you put it onto the battlefield at the beginning of your next end step, and at the beginning of combat with five or more Deserts you create that many Sand Warriors with haste. With Dune Chanter every land is a Desert. It is the highest-scoring card the precon leaves out.

Genesis Hydra is an X spell that puts a nonland permanent from the top of the library onto the battlefield. It is played in about one Yuma deck in eight.

Scaretiller is a four-mana 1/4 that returns a land when it becomes tapped. It is played in about one Yuma deck in eight.

Splendid Reclamation costs {3}{G} and returns every land card in your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. Yuma's discount fills the graveyard, and this brings them all back at once.

Worldsoul's Rage costs {X}{R}{G}: it deals X damage to any target, and puts up to X land cards from your hand and graveyard onto the battlefield tapped. A removal spell that is also a land recursion spell.

Marshal's Anthem gives your creatures +1/+1 and returns creatures with multikicker. It is played in about one Yuma deck in six.

Descend upon the Sinful is a six-mana sweeper that exiles every creature, including your Plant Warriors. It is played in about one Yuma deck in five.

Zuran Orb is a free artifact: sacrifice a land and you gain 2 life. A way to put lands in the graveyard at no mana, which makes Yuma cheaper and creates Plant Warriors.

Undergrowth Recon costs {1}{G}{G} and returns a land from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped at the beginning of each upkeep. A land comes back every turn, so every land you sacrifice is a land you keep.

Angel of Indemnity is a 5/5 flying lifelink Angel for {5}{W} that returns a cheap permanent. It is played in about one Yuma deck in four.

Rampaging Baloths is a 6/6 trampler for {4}{G}{G}. Whenever a land enters under your control you create a 4/4 Beast. With land recursion every land drop is a Beast.

Felidar Retreat costs {3}{W}. Whenever a land enters under your control you choose one: create a 2/2 Cat Beast, or put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control and give them vigilance until end of turn. Another landfall payoff, in the one colour that needs it.

Sunscorched Divide is a land that costs {1} and a tap to add {R}{W}. It is played in about one Yuma deck in three.

Arid Archway is a Desert land that enters tapped and returns a land you control to your hand, and taps for {C}{C}. It surveils if the land it returned was another Desert, and the returned land can be played again later, which is another landfall trigger.

Swiftfoot Boots is a two-mana Equipment that gives hexproof and haste. It is played in about one Yuma deck in three, and does nothing for lands.
