GrimlockVIII on Simic Primal Surge Eldrazi. Help, please!

I can list some good pieces of removal in the form of permanents if you wish.

Amphin Mutineer straight-up exiles a creature on etb, and you can do it again through his encore effect once he hits the yard.

Kitesail Larcenist turns 3 artifacts/creatures into useless treasures (one for each opponent), and he can technically hit something of yours like a Fierce Empath or a Reclamation Sage after you're done with their etb effects but need a little extra mana to cast something big.

Amphibian Downpour is basically an instant speed Imprisoned in the Moon that can copy itself depending on how much you or an opponent storms off.

Sapphire Dragon's adventure half is a neat counterspell option in the early game, and you can cast him later as a seven mana dragon to still trigger Imoti later on. Same principle applies to Emerald Dragon, Stormkeld Vanguard, Sword Coast Serpent, and Horned Loch-Whale. Galvanic Giant is also kind of nuts since you're effectively locking down something your opponent controls every time you cast a big spell while also having the option to have a massive draw spell on the side should you need it.

The Phasing of Zhalfir is such a good blue "boardwipe", especially since you can choose to protect one or two of your creatures before the third chapter goes off, or you can immediately skip to the third chapter if you really need the boardwipe to happen the turn you cast it.

Bane of Progress is a good boardwipe against artifact/enchantment-centric decks.

Kenrith's Transformation is a lignify/imprisoned in the moon that replaces itself on etb.

There's of course removal in the form of colorless artifacts. You got Meteor Golem, Cityscape Leveler, Portal to Phyrexia (which also acts as reanimation), and boardwipes like Nevinyrral's Disk and Perilous Vault. If you can wait till your stuff is untapped then False Floor has the potential to be a one-sided wipe that also slows down opponents with hastier decks.

Otawara, Soaring City and Boseiju, Who Endures are interaction in the form of lands. They're also generally harder to counter given that you're activating them as abilities rather than casting their channel effects as spells.

There's also ways to force your opponents to block one of your big guys with all of their creatures so you can let through all of your other big guys through and also kill off some chump fodder in the process. Something like Taunting Arbormage or Shinen of Life's Roar come to mind.

That's all I got for now, but good luck upgrading your deck!

I think you need to get rid of the Broken Bond cards and replace with more fight. also missing Scheming Symmetry as the easiest tutor. I like Culling the Weak a little better than D ritual, as you can put a 1 mana scrub like an elf or Ulvenwald Tracker out there and sac him to get your big dude, but ritual is good too..

I mean really, why not just throw a couple old skool Lure in there, Alluring Scent, Revenge of the Hunted, Shinen of Life's Roar, etc..

Arena, though I think it is generally a bad card might actually be decent considering your build is around PO.

Also you maybne think of one card draw engine. Like Phyrexian Arena, etc..

Lets say I channel Shinen of Life's Roar onto a Ichorclaw Myr. I swing in, and they are forced to block with all of their creatures. Does the Ichorclaw Myr get buffed for each creature? Does Flanking with (for example) Mtenda Herder give all blockers -1 -1?

(If yes, I totally won't make a whole deck based off of this interaction ;).)

Super fun deck! I have a few suggestions that I think may be fun.

I think one of the more fun mechanics to play with having Wulfgar out is myriad. For instance Caller of the Pack or Warchief Giant or Blade of Selves.

Any cards with Lure effects like Shinen of Life's Roar or Roar of Challenge are fun ways to get extra damage through.

I would also consider some recursion since the deck runs so aggro, like Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip or Regrowth to get some of those heavy hitters back.

Super fun deck! Looks like a lot of fun!

How do you fare in the mid/late game? If you need some extra evasion to get around clogged boards after your first kill, Glaring Spotlight and Shinen of Life's Roar might be cards to consider!

Infiltration Lens.

For each creature blocking it you draw 2 cards so if the creature has menace you draw 4 cards or if you play Shinen of Life's Roar and attach Infiltration Lens to it you'll draw tons of cards.

Shout out to libraryjoy because Spirit en-Dal is also one of my pet cards

For me, I run Shinen of Life's Roar in every green deck I can at the moment. I have like 3-4 copies in foil now.

The ability to throw out alliances, force removal or bad blocks, or let someone go for a kill or huge attack is brutal. Especially with how prevalent the Monarch is in my current meta, and the common "can I attack you with my 1/1 to get the monarch" deals being made.

EnbyGolem on Yisan Tames the Savage Beasts - Ultrabudget EDH

I really love ultra-budget builds like this! And I love how packed your creature list is :)

I noticed you have Taunting Elf in there! If you are in the market for a similar effect, I've had a lot of success with Shinen of Life's Roar . It's a little more expensive but Glaring Spotlight is another, more direct way of giving board evasion for those massive late-game attacks.
