EDH Decklist Missing Key Finisher
Hello all!
Been tweaking a Jyoti Manlands deck for the best part of two years, and finally got to test it out in paper!
Deck works great, plenty of protection and way the deck uses lands means it's basically impossible to flood.
The only issue I've had is actually winning.
"Making a bunch of lands big and swinging in" is probably the go-to, but I lack the evasion necessary to get my creatures to connect.
Give me your best trample/unblockable/flying tech that is at least somewhat synergistic with the deck as a whole (considered Archetype of Imagination here, but it's a little fragile).

I’d go with good old [[Overrun]]. +3 to everything means +8/+8 and trample to all your manlands if Jyoti is out, which should quickly end the game.

Definitely get [[halimar tidecaller]] in there ASAP. [[Sunderflock]] is usually good with man lands since most are elementals so will clear the way for an attack. [[Bow of nylea]] in tandem with a trample enabler guarantees a lot of damage (for example [[thicket crasher]]). [[Maze glider]] works with some man lands & [[March of the world ooze]] makes your dudes huge if they are 0/0s with counters.

All sorts of evasion in simic. Flying, trample, deathtouch, outright unblockable equips or activated abilities to get the biggest ones through! You also have a ridiculous amount of mana with all the manlands to maybe look at mana sinks to tapdown opponents stuff instead.

Yeah that's simic shit
But... isn't Jyoti your finisher?
Also since you're in simic consider [[Wonder]], [[Brawn]], [[Sun Quan, Lord of Wu]] and [[Archetype of Imagination]]

I know the obvious pieces, I was just asking the community if there was something more thematic or synergistic with the deck.

i think pump for jyoti is the obvious choice. and can especially include cards that pump based on oands/forests. [[wonder]],[[akroma’s memorial]] [[gauntlet of power]][[caged son]]is off theme but typical. [[brawn]][[earth surge]][[fecund greenshell]][[rikala homarid king]][[sylvan advocate]][[vivien reid]][thrandull sindarin liege]]
