The Budget: I'm trying to keep this budget. What that means differs from person to person, but for me it means card suggestions should be around the the $5 or less range. Some cards break the budget rule because I had them already.I would be willing to break the budget (aprox. $10-15) for an exceptional card if it absolutely would be a game changer for the deck and it's on theme. However, as it stands cards like Doubling Season are just way too expensive and unbalancing for myself and my current meta.

Deck Construction Philosophy: I'm also not a fan of infinite combos or tutors. I want a fun and dynamic deck that takes advantage of producing lots of tokens. I like commander decks that are built around the general, but also have the option of winning without them if the commander tax gets too high.

The Game Plan: This deck is trying to amass a large saproling army and smash face in a blitz attack.The alternate win condition is getting enough +1/+1 counters on Ghave to win with commander damage.

Types of Card Suggestions I'm Looking For: After play testing this weekend I found that the deck could use more ways of giving my creatures (especially Ghave) that are loaded with +1/+1 counters trample. Also, I feel like this deck needs for graveyard recursion to get better use of Ghave's sack ability and just get creatures back in general after a board wipe or targeted removal.
