BruhYouFarted on The Biggest Brain Combo Deck (Black Mamba MKII)

taylorfisdboss if you're asking if I have trouble casting Tragic Poet and the other non-black cards, I'd say no. For starts, I don't usually cast Poet that often, neither do I Golgari Brownscale, so I don't really see the purpose of leaning that hard into manafixing to support them. Adding in Taplands will only slow down the combo, and most of the time won't be necessary. Blood Celebrant has always been there whenever I needed to cast a Poet. For the sideboard, the two extra Celebrants helps your issue greatly.

TLDR: I understand your concern, but I really don't get into any color fixing issues because of Blood Celebrant, and the Alternate Uses for those cards.

Maybe some Dredge for additional mechanics filling the graveyard? Like Shambling Shell or Golgari Brownscale?

Winding Way is better than taigams scheming. You can get always smfn from it (but it is not going to be great tho) or creature alternative - Satyr Wayfinder. Golgari Brownscale maybe?

I've never actually seen a full Golgari deck dedicated to Fogging someone to death. Kudos!

Tortured Existence decks often run the combo of Spore Frog and a dredger (most often Golgari Brownscale for the life gain) in order to loop their frogs forever. This could be an interesting direction to take your deck that would take up way less deck space than all your fogs.

You appear to want to win through combat damage. This will not be an effective strategy when you are also blocking out combat on your turn, which will leave stalled out board states. Try something like Evincar's Justice, which can eventually kill your opponent AND often wipe the board, which is usually better than fogging.

You are missing out on the best Fog effect in Pauper: Moment's Peace. Bonus points for interaction with Grisly Salvage. I would replace Clinging Mists or Darkness with that.

I suggest running 3x Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath and another copy of Careful Study, and for the sideboard, Golgari Brownscale if you play a lot of aggro/burn decks.

Intuition and Deep Analysis could also find a home here.

I like your substitute for Intuition. Very nice. Personally, I would cut one Careful Study since you aren't playing Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, and in it's place I'd play an additional Just the Wind or a Savage Swipe for removal.

For budget land upgrades I would suggest running 4 Hinterland Harbor and removing 2 Simic Guildgates and 2 Woodland Stream.

Your sideboard is going to need a way to deal with other decks that toolbox the graveyard. If you cannot afford Echo of Eons I would recommend just playing a few copies of Tormod's Crypt. The burn matchup can be tough without Uro. For this reason, I recommend you also side two copies of Golgari Brownscale as well.

Job well done on making the deck more budget. I look forward to watching the deck's progress. Cheers!

Maybe Death's-Head Buzzard could be okay, but I feel like the others don't really fit in the more aggressive deck. I actually played Gnaw to the Bone for quite a while with this deck, but it was often too slow to fight Burn effectively. Golgari Brownscale has been my go-to way to fight them. Looping two back and forth usually prompts a concession.

Golgari Brownscale is really good with torex but probably not worth putting it. Worth a look though
