This is pretty rad! My friend and I have been trying to make superfriends work in modern for a while. You seem to be on a budget here, so I'll give suggestions accordingly.

Unsummon - I feel like that could definitely be replaced with Vapor Snag.

Primeval Titan - He works here so hard with all of the ramp here. He does his job.

Explore - Because land is nice. I would trade out for Karametra's Favor.

Keranos, God of Storms - He's a super good one-of. Free card draw, and gets rid of other threats, or deals damage to face.

Check my deck?

I think I'm going to add primetime. I mean, why not? I even have one sitting around in my rare collection anyway. Explore is great, but the part about Karametra's Favor that I appreciate the most is enchanting Gilder Bairn so that I can get to his untap ability and effectively reduce the cost of it.

I really appreciate the budget-minded suggestions. I think Doubling Season would otherwise be the obvious choice for a deck like this.

I was planning on throwing in Keranos, God of Storms from the get-go when my buddy pulled a foil in a booster, but he has since sold it. I might have to add it, but my concern is that it will paint a bigger target on me since I usually play multiplayer. It's definitely the type of suggestion I am looking for, anyway.

This description should definitely start with "the one with..." :)

@Luutamo Done. I wil definitely be making the description more flavorful.

This look like so much fun! I really want to build this deck and play it! This is an amazing idea! +1 and great work!

How about Elspeth, Knight-Errant? She would give you blockers, boost your Gilder Bairn if you need to attack with him so he doesn't die and can still tap, and her ultimate pretty much means you win the game.

Plus, you can ultimate her the turn that you play her. She's awesome. I would definitely run her, but the WW would be cumbersome with my current build. I've considered splashing white before for the various Ajanis, but I just kinda like the way things play currently.

TBH, White reallly does make a lot more sense than Red, considering Chandra is pretty useless, but I like the current flavor. Definitely give it a build and let me know what you think. It's quite budget-minded and the land can be improved on immediately, but it will make your friends hate you in a multiplayer setting. Thanks a ton for the suggestions!

You're right, and I looked over your build again and it doesn't even make sense to try and splash white or replace any color with it. Adding a fourth color typically destabilizes a deck and you need every color you currently have for your combos. I agree, I like the way this looks like it'll currently play.

It's worth trying, I think. Sylvan Caryatid on top of Birds of Paradise might make it even more feasible. I am going to playtest some caryatid when they drop in price a bit because I think a hexproof blocker would come in handy especially early game when I would need it. That would probably make Elspeth much easier to cast on top of protecting friends when they hit the board. Definitely leave another comment if you try anything out.

Do you mind if I make a less budget version of your deck listing? I will give you full credit for this awesome deck.

I do not mind at all! Please go for it, I'd love to see how these friends can be abused. I look forward to checking it out.

I see you are have Explore in your maybeboard. Instead of that, have you thought about Asceticism? Also, I would definitely swap out your Unsummon for Vapor Snag unless you often unsummon your own creatures.

May I ask why you are running Lumbering Falls? It doesn't seem to benefit this deck that much.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but wouldn't Paradise Mantle be better than Karametra's Favor, especially if you need to bounce your gilder to save it? Favor does draw a card, but only needing 1 to equip may be better in some cases than needing to cast a 2 mana enchantment.
