Budget version of my Experiment Kraj deck. The maybeboard is the removed cards due to being too expensive. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for replacements.

A casual Experiment Kraj designed to work without having to go infinite.

The deck works by getting out a mana dork that produces 2 or more mana, and then giving said dork a +1/+1 counter so that kraj can use its ability. I then need to acquire a way to untap kraj, such as Horseshoe Crab or Freed from the Real.

Now when I have a mana dork and a way to untap kraj I can turn each of my islands into 2-3 mana, which then lets me play out my large cards such as Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger or Blightsteel Colossus

I continue to play cards through kraj until I win the game through sheer mana advantage.

In play testing the issues I have experienced are a lack of board presence until I can dump my hand, and struggling to rebuild after board wipes.
