I picked up the Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry combo recently, and based on cards I already own, this is what I made.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, including who should be my commander! Dakkon was just the only one I owned in the colors (colors I would prefer to stay in . . . Sorry Breya).

I'm relatively new to combo decks, so ways to execute it would be appreciated. I'm thinking I need more tutors for the combo and more combos in general. Budget is important so I'd prefer no suggestions to be over $5 to start. I will love some suggestions for future purchases (land base is already on my to do list). As you can see this deck is overwhelmingly casual goodstuff. I wanna change that.

People know me well enough around my LGS now that they bring out their more powerful decks. I need something that can compete. Not cEDH, but maybe around 60-75%? Somethings in there are just for fun currently, this was originally gonna be an esper flicker deck but I decided combo might let me win a bit more. I know some things to take out such as Elbrus, the Binding Blade   etc.. I just need suggestions. I've been over EDHREC but cards without explanations never helps me learn.
