Culling Scales
Artifact
At the beginning of your upkeep, destroy target nonland permanent with the lowest converted mana cost among nonland permanents in play. (If two or more permanents are tied for lowest cost, target any one of them.)

I never saw Kibo before. I need one now.
Seeds of Innocence, Rampage of the Clans
Molder Slug and Culling Scales (maybe?). Ratchet Bomb can be played and tapped immediately to destroy all the 0 CMC bananas you are giving out
Instill Energy, Nature's Chosen or Patriar's Seal for double banana
NOT A MONKEY : Hellkite Tyrant is a wincon if you save up bananas and steal a few extra artifacts. It will at least force players to burn the bananas without using the mana for anything.

Culling Scales can pick off one token at a time, to add to Squee_Spirit_Guide's list.
If you have artifact recursion, Ratchet Bomb can clear the field of tokens. Engineered Explosives also works, but it's not exactly a budget card.

Vadrok looks really sweet and fresh! I’ve been brewing it after seeing your requested commanders video.
My comfort zone is green creatures, stompy, and overrun, so I might use this to branch into a stax/control style. It’d punish crazy ramp and board states, bringing them down to my level, white—style. Recurrable ones include Restore Balance , Smoke , AEther Barrier and Soul Barrier , and your Culling Scales . Some cost more than 3 but are still effective - Damping Engine , Portcullis , Noetic Scales , Incite Rebellion .
I guess from there, win by attacking? Or find a combo. It’s a case of decision paralysis atm, but it’ll be easier to shave down once I decide on a direction.

@psionictemplar I have never heard of Culling Scales... that just seems like a very neat card in general lol....I suppose it isn't just/only about being slowed down and more so the fact that I flat out couldn't think of a single practical means to get rid of Stony Silence (in Mono-Red) on my own; but the community as always pointed out many ways to handle it.... although its probably best just to play around/through stony silence and not worry about it... its one of those cards i forgot about and when it came down and I couldn't get my draws as i am used to it just bugged me!
@DragonSliver9001 I got the idea/guidance for mainboarding Pyrite Spellbomb and Relic of Progenitus from a primer here on tappedout. Do you have other recommendations for either utility/cantrips?

I suppose there is always Culling Scales as a board control card. It being an artifact would synergize with your other things.

Haha I once built an entire deck around Porphyry Nodes complete with stuff like Myth Realized/Mutavault, Gideon Blackblade, Forbidden Orchard and even Culling Scales (although it doesn't mesh well when its on the battlefield together with nodes, had to get two Greater Auramancy in play for it to work). It was really stupid and didn't work 90% of the time, but it was a blast to play against creature decks when it did (against non-creature-heavy decks I just conceded).

I really like your list, because my list is almost the same :D
But I have a few questions:
-
I don't really get why you play Culling Scales and Pull from Eternity? Is there a specific reason?
-
What do you guys think about: Dawn of Hope, Supreme Verdict and Crush Contraband?
