Start with jobs, not hype
Every Omnath, Locus of Rage deck still needs the usual Commander jobs: ramp, card draw, interaction, and finishers. The best inclusions are the ones that pull double duty by also supporting Omnath, Locus of Rage's engine. If a card helps your lands, landfall, and elementals plan while covering a baseline role, that is exactly the kind of slot efficiency you want.
Ramp and mana
Ramp is best when it fixes the turns that matter most. If Omnath, Locus of Rage wants to commit early setup, prioritize cheap acceleration that lets you deploy that setup on curve. If the list is heavier, bias toward ramp that jumps you cleanly into your commander and first payoff turn.

Card draw in Omnath, Locus of Rage should usually reward what the deck was already trying to do.
