With our return to zendikar, one of the most powerful mechanics in the game returns. Landfall allows abilities to trigger as you deploy lands onto the battlefield. Lucky for us, returning to this plane brings the return of cards that let you ramp up fast and explore your deck for the lands you need to get these triggers.. Here we go with the best landfall decks in the arena right now.

5) Mutate & the beasts

Fables tell of a passage to a land full of beasts

The power of mutating is not going away folks. This mechanic allows you to take those creatures you have with landfall and just make them better. Why settle for a regular creature with a landfall trigger, when you can mutate it to wreck hard?
