Glancing through your cards, your deck's problem might be because you're building it based on best-case scenario, with tons of clones and blink synergies. (In my playgroup, Miirym always gets removed before her untap step, so the Miirym player does not rely on her sticking to the board.)

I'll suggest some upgrades for your deck based on making it more consistent and less dependant on Miirym:

1st. Ramp

Explosive turns with lots of cost reducers sound nice... if people don't blow up your dorks before you get any value from them.

2nd. You need more lands (36 lands + 13 ramp cards is a good starting point)

3rd. Better counterspells

4th. Better removal

5th. Better boardwipes

6th. More card draw

7th. Better win conditions

With the resurgence of the lands theme in the deck, I feel like I want one or two more utility lands. Options:

  • Crystal Vein
    Extra land drops + Crucible effects is a situation that the deck may get into pretty often.

  • Wasteland
    Strip Mine backup. Never not good.

  • Thespian's Stage
    Not as good as Thespian's Stage, but that doesn't make it bad.

  • Dryad Arbor
    Fetchable creature that can be sac'd to creature outlets and used with creature recursion.

  • Blast Zone
    Removal, albeit slow.

  • Cabal Pit/Barbarian Ring
    Creature removal. Random burn to the face with Ring if you have spare mana and land drops with nothing else to do with them.

  • Argoth, Sanctum of Nature  Meld
    Token maker, feeds recursion. But it's very slow and the ETB untap condition isn't reliable. It makes me consider Titania, Voice of Gaea  Meld so I can tutor for one when I have the other (and Titania's lifegain on its own isn't the worst either), but that's probably too many slots for an unreliable effect. The meld not happening until your own upkeep sucks too.

  • Tranquil Thicket/Barren Moor
    Go nuts with Loam, turn Wrenn and Six into a draw engine.

  • Kessig Wolf Run
    Wincon on a land. Though Korvold usually grows quickly enough on his own to do the job.

The deck is looking pretty tight, but I have some more thoughts on how to address your "pre-Sekki" concerns.

Farhaven Elf is a worse Wood Elves, but it's still ramp and an effective speed bump against and early attack.

Woodland Bellower isn't a bad inclusion since it can come down before Sekki and tutor up creatures like Tempting Licid, Ulvenwald Tracker, and Champion of Lambholt before Sekki comes down a turn or two later. You could also consider other creature tutors like Worldly Tutor and Green Sun's Zenith.

Thaumatic Compass  Flip isn't a ramp spell per-say, but it does guarantee your land drop for the turn and can turn into a better Maze of Ith to keep you alive until Sekki drops.

You could consider some of the cycling green lands like Tranquil Thicket as additional sources of card draw in the land slot. Play them as lands when you need them or just aggressively cycle them to dig deeper.

I also like Bushwhack as a fight spell/land grab.

As always, awesome deck!

Austin_Smith_of_Cards on Graveyard Maverick - My Tortex Brew

Made some adjustments to the deck to modernize a little; classic toolbox Golgari-style Tortex seems to have fallen slightly out of favor for Abzan aggro, but we don’t need no white mana!

+2 Eccentric Farmer, +2 Kitchen Imp, +1 Writhing Necromass

-1 Stinkweed Imp, -1 Perilous Myr, -1 Thoughtpicker Witch, -1 Barren Moor, -1 Tranquil Thicket

Eccentric Farmer does double duty filling our graveyard and recurring lands to meet our drops, so traded out one Stinkweed Imp and a Thoughtpicker Witch (who I’ve almost never needed to use in playing this list). With Farmer helping us meet our land drops better, dropped the two cycling lands to make room for a pair of Kitchen Imps to push early game aggro. Lastly, ditched the Perilous Myr for a big beatstick in Writhing Necromass to contend against the likes of Gurmag Angler or potentially even bigger creatures.

Cuts:

I did a lot of research on precon decks while building my Urza/Mishra partner deck. This is definitely above that, which is fine, but one of the more interesting things I saw in said research was that it isn't always best to include tutors because new players don't even know the cards in the deck, much less what to search for. Land ones are fine, obviously, because they tell you what to find. Cards like Chord of Calling is great as an upgrade, but it may cause an unintentional feeling of being overwhelmed with options. Cutting it would also save $6-7.

Bala Ged Recovery  Flip is another card that I'd cut just because it may be slightly confusing for newer players. It's also $4? When did that happen?!

Triumph of the Hordes is another cut I'd make with the same reasoning as above. Trying to explain the difference between combat damage and commander damage is probably enough for now. Again, great upgradefor later. This would cut about $12.

Cutting these three would shave off another $20-25.

Adds:

Growth Spiral is close enough to Bala Ged Recovery  Flip but without the added confusion of it also possibly being a land.

Speaking of lands, I think adding in two more would help smooth out any potential mana-screws, which are a horrible feeling as a seasoned player... and even worse than that as a newer player. Whether they be two more forests or something like Khalni Garden, Fertile Thicket or Tranquil Thicket, I think two more lands would help smooth things out.

I would also mention that while Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury is the deck's commander, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen and Marwyn, the Nurturer could also be the deck's commander. She's not necessarily locked in to just Freyalise.

The last thing I'll mention is that none of us here know the person you're making the deck for. If you see any of this advice and think "eh, I think she'd get it" or "She'll understand this pretty easily", then go for it! Build whatever you think they'd like the best.

I noticed you said land value was a concern, so I had some thoughts:

Some ways to keep your utility game strong could include the cycle lands like Tranquil Thicket and Forgotten Cave. Those provide draw when otherwise you don't need the colors.

Bojuka Bog, Temple of the False God, and Crumbling Vestige are other noteworthy utility lands that various people enjoy.

Check lands, like the more recent Overgrown Farmland and Rockfall Vale are (somewhat) cheaper ways to get your value on.

Burn lands like Shivan Reef and Yavimaya Coast are great ways to provide yourself with more options to do the thing without breaking the bank.

I'd recommend using something like Chromatic Lantern to help cover color needs. I know you said budget was a concern so maybe stuff like Utopia Sprawl or Trace of Abundance over things like Bloom Tender.

Considering how (most) WUBRG builds rely on green to do the heavy lifting, if you could spring for a copy of Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth it could really help a lot.

If you consider Bounce Lands (Gruul Turf, Simic Growth Chamber), you'd get more value back out of your cycle lands. Again, I'm unsure what the budget is but I wanted to provide a few interesting options to get you the colors you're in need of!

I hope this helps a bit! Best of luck!

Inventors' Fair might be worth making room for. It can find your sac outlets. You could include Darksteel Citadel, Treasure Vault, and Tree of Tales to ensure that you're able to use the Fair.

These might interest you too: Sakura-Tribe Scout, Skyshroud Ranger, Llanowar Scout, Budoka Gardener  Flip, Scaled Herbalist, Walking Atlas, Terrain Generator, Deserted Temple, Tranquil Thicket

Thanks for commenting, Lord_of_Cardboard!

This deck would do exceptionally well against a Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger deck. This is for the same reason that cards like Jace's Archivist do so well in the deck: if you have have Muldrotha on the battlefield, any cards you discard might as well still be in your hand cause you can simply replay them from your graveyard. If anything, an opposing Kroxa player is almost helping you by disrupting your other opponents' hands.

As for a budget version of the deck, here's some advice on budget options and replacements. Just note that this is advice specific to my Muldrotha deck, i.e., advice for the big mana and big X-spell strategy. If you'd rather play a more typical creature-based, swing-to-kill type deck, there may be better Muldrotha lists to look at.

The mana base makes up a large portion of the deck's budget, and I would leave that mostly up to your own discretion. Just keep in mind that fetch lands like Evolving Wilds and slow fetches like Bad River are good for being replayed every turn with Muldrotha. Also, for a budget version of the deck, it's important to run more basics than I do since you'll probably need to fetch more with your ramp. Cycle lands like Lonely Sandbar, Tranquil Thicket, and Barren Moor are fantastic, especially with Life from the Loam. Some other good options:

Which brings me to another point: if I had to pick one somewhat expensive card that's worth putting in a budget Muldrotha deck, it's this one. It's a one-card value engine, giving you card draw, mill, and lands. And depending on what utility lands you choose to run, it can do a whole lot more. And if you're worried about Kroxa in your meta, Life from the Loam is a great counter to it, allowing you to fill your hand with lands to discard.

Now to address key cards for the deck's "big mana" strategy. Important cards for generating a lot of mana include Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Cabal Coffers, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Crypt Ghast, and Nyxbloom Ancient. You could just replace these cards with normal ramp; casting X-spells for X=10 is still good and easy to accomplish without these cards. If that's unsatisfying for you, you could consider options like Zendikar Resurgent and Mana Reflection. Unfortunately there aren't many great cheap options for producing a lot of mana. This is an important part of the deck though, so it's up to you if it's worth spending some extra money on it.

To avoid this comment being any more lengthy than it already is, here's an extensive list of some budget alternatives for the deck. The great thing about Muldrotha is that being able to replay removal makes a lot of sub-par removal actually pretty good, so it's pretty budget friendly.

Win-Conditions: What's in the deck isn't too expensive, but here's some cheaper options.

Removal:

Draw / Mill:

Tutors:

Ramp:

Control and other good stuff:

If you have any other questions about budget options, let me know. I'm always happy to help!
