Homer turns every landfall event into scalable mill. Lands determine how often the trigger happens, qualifying creatures determine X, and flexible targeting lets the same engine attack opponents or stock a Sultai graveyard.

Commander Overview

How This Commander Plays

Homer is a preview-state Sultai landfall-mill commander. Lands create triggers, qualifying aquatic creature types set the mill amount, and flexible targeting lets the deck pressure opponents or fill its own graveyard.

Core Game Plan

  1. Develop Sultai mana and qualifying creatures.
  2. Resolve and protect Homer before committing a large landfall turn.
  3. Increase the qualifying count with natural types, changelings, or type-changing effects.
  4. Generate land entries through fetch lands, ramp, land tokens, or land recursion.
  5. Choose opponents for offensive mill or yourself for self-mill setup.
  6. Convert graveyards through recursion, drain, theft, or alternate mill wins.
  7. Finish through mass landfall, repeatable landfall loops, graveyard payoffs, or toughness combat.

Build Paths

Landfall Mill

Use fetches, extra land drops, land recursion, and qualifying creatures to turn each land into a multiplayer mill trigger.

This is the default Homer plan and should not be reduced to generic Crab typal.
Self-Mill Graveyard Value

Target yourself when graveyard cards matter, then convert milled cards through recursion, land replay, and graveyard payoffs.

This overlaps with Reanimator as package context, not as a claim that Homer is a normal reanimator commander.
Type-Changing Count Engine

Use changelings and type-changing effects to make more creatures count for Homer's X calculation.

This branch cares about creature type at trigger resolution, not permanent typal identity alone.
Landfall Combo Finish

Assemble repeatable land entries, trigger copying, or land-recursion loops, then convert repeated Homer triggers into table mill.

Combo claims stay candidate-only until loop prerequisites and outlets are independently verified.

Homer combo research is preview-only. Repeatable landfall plus a sufficient qualifying count can become a deterministic mill engine, but every loop still needs exact land recursion, land-entry, target legality, and interruption checks.
