This is a budget / casual deck with Kraum, Ludevic's Opus and Tymna the Weaver as partnered commanders. It actually started with comparing Kraum to every other Partner mechanic creature in Commander 2016, and when I got to Tymna, I was immediately reminded of Well of Lost Dreams and Words of Worship combo pack that I used to run in my "Elv-a-geddon" Legacy deck a million years ago. From there I wandered into Melee and Myriad abilities (yes I know they're "Nombo" with one another, but I ran it that way for awhile anyway...then ditched most of the Myriad creatures)... And then started to flesh it out with a decent balance of aggro and;

Draw power

Life Gain

Creature Evasion

...and a minor amount of Shenanigans.

Suggestions and input are for sure appreciated, but please keep in mind this is BUDGET (if I don't already own 1, and it costs more than $2.00, then its "backburnered" with a huge line in front of it) and CASUAL (no spike-ish/combo nonsense, toned down to 75%-ish) and MULTIPLAYER.

EDIT-1 Moved the deck's original discard package (9 cards) to "The Sideboard," henceforth to be known as "Cards that used to be in the deck." The hand disruption package seemed cool, and was when the games went that direction...but in general, having it in the deck just convoluted it more...and it's still a little convoluted without out it.

EDIT-2 Removed Lavinia of the Tenth which in the last five games, twice now it's created an unintended, degenerate, non-casual board state while interacting with Feldon of the Third Path . Replaced it with Thada Adel, Acquisitor for the time being.

EDIT-3 Shuffled a few things out to throw at other decks and to make room for a few more lifegain cards from mail day. Ditched all the Myriad except the red creature and the sword as well.

EDIT-4 Removed countermagic and some less efficient cards for stronger beats and faster ramp.
