This is my first forum post so please be gentle with me. I usually play my Grixis EDH with Nekusar as my main general and I finished it recently. My goal now is to slowly move into colors I am unfamiliar with so that's why I'm trying to make a BUG EDH with Damia at the helm. I know how to do a couple things within these colors, but I just can't get them to work with her. Here is the Decklist I had made on tappedout: Damia EDH
If you could help me out guys, I'd be really grateful.
If you want to take advantage of Damia herself, you need to empty your hand or be near it each turn. That means mana. Mana reflection, mana rocks, and ramp(oracle of mul daya for one. Damia draws you a ton of land and hey, oracle lets you play them). Also, things that let you play anything at instant speed helps so that you can dump your hand at the last EoT before yours and draw X more. Just some things to think about. Damia only works(her ability) if you have 5 or less cards when she triggers.
Because conservative bias is a far, far worse thing. Liberal bias doesn't, statistically speaking, make people stupid. Conservative bias (or at least Fox's version of it) does.
you need to put Insidious Dreams into this deck dude. cast it right before your turn, dump your hand, literally sculpt a new one and then draw all of with Damia at your upkeep. Even if it gets countered you still get to draw a new grip next turn

I will be typing up deck lists as soon as I an be bothered, I really only play EDH:
Whilst I realize that the cloister you would effectively be able able to draw an extra 8 cards each turn since you stack the upkeep triggers correctly, not having a hand to be able to respond to any threats played seems like it could be bad. Also if it is destroyed while your hand is exiled your not going to be able to get it back since you will have no hand in which to protect it with.

It's definitely a tradeoff and a risk running it. Personally I wouldn't run it if I had a Damia deck since I like to interact with my opponent's spells, but I've seen it used effectively by other Damia decks to bring it up.
I run a fairly effective 'landfall matters' Damia deck, with a ton of Explore/Sakura-Tribe Scout effects, spellshapers (<3 Dreamscape Artist), the few actual 'landfall' effects worth running (Khalni Heart Expedition, Seer's Sundial, Lotus Cobra, Avenger of Zendikar and Eternity Vessel), things like Trade Routes, Groundskeeper, Crucible of Worlds to keep my land-related engines running, a number of Fog effects (Constant Mists being an absolutely all-star) because it is actually both profitable and amusing to keep people guessing... and of course a fairly hefty removal/protection/counterspell package for the lady herself because even in this kind of deck, seven mana is a lot and for some reason Damia makes people scramble for their removal...
Not quite your typical Damia control/combo, but it's fun to play.

The deck wins with some combination Avenger of Zendikar, Words of Wilding, Words of Waste, Words of Wind, Pack Rat, Spitting Image, Psychic Spiral (I often am near decking myself before the game is over), Sisters of Stone Death, Vulturous Zombie, Worm Harvest, Dokai, Weaver of Life and Mindleech Mass.
