Howdy! Note that you cannot use Archangel of Wrath, because although it is a white creature it has black in its color identity because of the {{b}} kicker cost.

Have you considered adding Sol Ring, Boros Signet, and Talisman of Conviction? They are excellent mana options.

I also would consider adding (2) more lands - your commander is (5) mana, so you want to make sure you can cast her.

Also, giving Karlach haste will speed up the gameplan - consider cards such as Lightning Greaves or Rising of the Day. I especially recommend Rising of the Day, because it also gives your commander +1 power - so you can one-shot a player every turn with commander damage.

You have a generally high average mana cost for the deck, so I would consider removing some of the higher cost cards or add more ramp, such as Worn Powerstone and Thran Dynamo.

I would consider removing Earth Tremor and replacing it with Swords to Plowshares. Generally you want your removal spells to be around 1 or 2 mana, so that you aren't spending all the mana in your turn just to remove one threat.

I would also consider updating the lands you have - there are lots of cheap lands to consider, such as: Command Tower, Needle Spires, Battlefield Forge, Temple of Triumph, Clifftop Retreat, Boros Garrison, Furycalm Snarl, Wind-Scarred Crag, Sacred Peaks, Boros Guildgate, Alpine Meadow, Stone Quarry, Rustvale Bridge, and Lorehold Campus.

Hope this was useful!

To be frank I've noticed that most of the people I know play rather slow decks. Unless I am facing aggro, I don't think Eidolon of the Great Revel will be very useful. Three mana cost cards are really somewhat small in the grand scheme of MTG. Also, since Eidolon of the Great Revel is , it's kind of unwieldy to have multiple reds in my mana pool, but considering my manabase, I don't think that will be a problem. The whole reason I have 8 jeskai tri-lands is so that I can be 100% sure to cast everything I ever have in my hand, especially one or twice in a row. Should I swap out Izzet Guildgate and Boros Guildgate for simple 1x Plains and 1x Mountain? Surely the two latter than the two former are more valuable for the respective tempo than the variegation.

Another simple way to ramp is to cut Boros Guildgate and Stone Quarry, a land that enters tapped with no other upside is just gonna slow you down. Temple of Triumph while still entering tapped, can give you the same fixing with at least a bit of card selection. Speaking of lands, Slayers' Stronghold and Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion will allow you to add keywords to creatures.

I would recommend adding more copies of key cards in your deck for consistency. Play around with it, find out which cards are good and synergistic, and which ones are cards that generally don't come in handy, or are just cards that sit in your hand the whole game.

Here are some improvements that could be made with your mana base on budget: Wind-Scarred Crag , Needleverge Pathway  Flip, Temple of Triumph , Battlefield Forge , and Needle Spires . Coming in at the highest price for budget lands is Clifftop Retreat at $5.75 US. All of these are better than Boros Guildgate

Don't include all of those lands, lol. Cut cards from your deck until it is 60 cards (for consistency) and then have 24 lands as a base. Add more or cut more depending on how aggressive you are. Basic lands should be the majority of your land base unles you are looking for an expensive mana base, but 8-12 of the lands I listed above should help.

Hey, very good upgrade of the precon while still keeping budget. Nice Doubling Season and Xenagos, God of Revels is some spicy tech with Obuun :)

My advice is consider cutting a few land ramp spells and adding some repeatable draw sources such as Valakut Exploration, Garruk's Uprising and Tireless Tracker. Exploration uses landfall to play cards from the top of your library including lands. It can also be graveyard fuel for Trove Warden, Sun Titan and Emeria Shepherd. Uprising is an amazing budget card in Commander with creature strategies especially with Omnath, Locus of Rage and Rampaging Baloths since it triggers when a token is created. Tracker, Mystery Booster version, creates clues with landfall and clues can sac to draw.

Crop Rotation can tutor for any land which is nice with Bounce lands, Fetch lands, Kessig Wolf Run and Gavony Township. Emeria Angel and Scute Swarm are build your own army with landfall which is very good with Doubling Season, Felidar Retreat, Township and Beastmaster Ascension.

Cinder Glade and Canopy Vista are some land upgrades for the manabase because they have good interaction with lots of basic lands and they're two different land types. Farseek, Nature's Lore, Grasslands, Mountain Valley can search for one of these dual lands. Krosan Verge and Skyshroud Claim can get both of them. These Battle lands are $2 or less each at TCGPlayer. Exotic Orchard is a budget Rainbow land that's quite good in multiplayer Commander.


Cards to consider cutting:

Good luck with your deck.

You made some nice additions and fixed your rock ramp up nicely. Like I said on the previous version of this deck though, I would've used the lands I recommended to replace your lands that come in tapped and not your basics. I believe this deck would perform a lot better if you were running ordinary Mountains and Plains instead of cards like Ancient Amphitheater, Boros Guildgate, Stone Quarry, Temple of Triumph, either of your vivid lands, and Wind-Scarred Crag.

I like the changes you made though. Really nice deck for the budget you're working with! Nice job. :^)

Hey bud, suggestions for some changes:

Lands (I cut the two basic fetch lands, you will be running nice green ramp so won't need em, prob just slow you down otherwise)

Others
