You might want a bigger Grozoth cmc-9 package.

@WicKid52 I certainly wouldn't be opposed. Did you have any favorites in particular? The one that semi-interests me is Bringer of the Blue Dawn. All of the other ones I've seen (Leviathan, Polar Kraken, Thing from the Deep) have those sac land costs that I want no part of.

I am also currently working on a Braids deck and I would highly suggest adding more protection for Braids, in my playgroup people will constantly take advantage of the Braids trigger and then end-of-turn kill her in order to gain advantage. Basically, I'm just suggesting that you run some things that give Braids hexproof/shroud or indestructibility.

@Elevor Thanks for the comment. So protection can get a little bit expensive outside of Swiftfoot Boots and I want this to remain a budget deck. However, we do have Teferi's Veil, Vanishing and Vodalian Illusionist which are even better. Since Braids won't exist on the board state, your opponents will get no benefit from her and she'll come back into play just in time to let you put down a big beefy Eldrazi or sea creature.
