amarthaler Hey thanks! Lol I'm surprised you found this I haven't deckcycled it at all yet... Right so I built this around Mold Shambler being a Sowing Mycospawn impersonation for pauper since land destruction on a body is really good for obvs. reasons. So far the deck seems to be able to ramp into them pretty well, if you curve out perfect it's Turn 1 Arboreal Grazer > Turn 2 Thermokarst > Turn 3 Mwonvuli Acid-Moss > Turn 4 kicked Mold Shambler, so that feels pretty sick when it happens. And Faultgrinder is there to infinitely recur using Evolution Witness+Treetop Snarespinner blowing up lands every turn at the top end. Thresher Beast is a cool rec but I think it might fall a bit short in the face of killspells, since it has an attack trig and not an ETB? Thanks for checkin' out the deck!

I like it! Looking forward to hearing how Faultgrinder and Mold Shambler works out. If you end up looking to replace them, consider Thresher Beast which I use in my Ponza list. It works pretty well!

Hey, interesting strategy on a budget using Saproling tokens from Fugus to trigger Esix.
Sol Ring and Arcane Signet are two budget staple mana rocks for Commander. Sol could replace Commander's Sphere and Arcane could replace Fractal Harness.
Fugus need spore counters to make Saps; more repeatable proliferate from Evolution Sage can help just by playing a land. Landfall also from Tireless Provisioner can trigger Esix just by playing a land. It's ramp with treasures and treasures are tokens.
Neoform is sac any two drop creature to tutor for and cheat Biovisionary onto the battlefield or sac a four drop and tutor for Mycoloth. Scatter the Seeds can create three Sap tokens at one time for Biovisionary + Esix and all creatures as well as creature tokens you control can help to cast Scatter with convoke.
Beast Within, Rapid Hybridization, Pongify are instant removal spells that create a token creature after destroying. They can be used against an opponent or destroy your own permanent to trigger Esix.
Timeless Witness can recur any card; it's a budget creature to make a copy of and when it's in your graveyard you can choose to embalm it to create a token of Witness. Card recursion is one area your deck currently lacks.
Some cards to consider cutting:
- Commander's Sphere
- Fractal Harness: four mana to make a 1/1 token and then you have pay more mana to equip it.
- Mold Shambler: is too much mana for what it does and if you copy it you don't get it's enter the battlefield ability because you can't pay kicker when you copy.
- Roalesk, Apex Hybrid: has to die to proliferate and that makes it slow.
- Snakeform
- Mercurial Transformation
- Gaea's Anthem: this small anthem effect isn't going to help much.
- Sporecrown Thallid: this small anthem effect isn't going to help much.
- Rites of Flourishing: helps your opponents more than you especially the turn you play it where you don't get the draw, but then each opponent's next turn they draw two cards.
Good luck with your deck.

Cards in the side that I think could work in the main are Dungrove Elder , Ambuscade , Rancor , Shield of the Oversoul , and maybe Ironscale Hydra . Cards that fit the general idea of the sideboard include Kogla, the Titan Ape , Mold Shambler , Reclamation Sage , and Yasharn, Implacable Earth . Other common SB options in these colors could be Stony Silence , Rest in Peace , Leyline of Sanctity , Selfless Spirit , Kor Firewalker , Rule of Law , Force of Vigor , Qasali Pridemage , and Scavenging Ooze .
At this point, this deck is far enough removed from the deathtouch lure plan that I think it could be worth swapping out those cards to go all-in on bogles or aura/hexproof instead. Cards like Slippery Bogle and Silhana Ledgewalker tend to pair well with aura buffs like Spirit Mantle and Ethereal Armor .

The sideboard should be 15 cards that help you deal with specific situations you often encounter, but not often enough to put them in main-board - like artifact/enchantment destruction, or recursion, or flying, or life gain, or land destruction. If there is a deck that your deck struggles against, you would add specific cards that would help you in that match up. So stuff like Mold Shambler , Gravity Well , or Yasharn, Implacable Earth (if you often face a deck that pays life to activate abilities), or extra copies of Naturalize or Appetite for the Unnatural , or Oblivion Ring , or Bonds of Mortality , or Ghost Quarter , would be good choices. Think of it as a toolkit/backpack. It's stuff for "just in case."

How do you feel about Arboreal Grazer ?
I feel like this kind of list has a few silly options - Mold Shambler bounce to lock someone off lands, a Essence Symbiote / Migratory Greathorn mutate subtheme or Slaughterhorn as a combat trick. If splashing another colour, cards like Crusher Zendikon or the RG riot beast.
Still, with beasts being printed every few sets this feels like something that is going to suddenly get an efficient option and be really good.

This looks like a lot of fun!
Some creatures that I had a some success with in my old super-budget smash decks were Stampeding Elk Herd and Walker of the Grove. They might be fun here too!
For removal, I really like Wickerbough Elder and Mold Shambler; they can help thin the field and also provide a body that can swing in for damage later. I also like Mwonvuli Acid-Moss too as it ramps while also potentially taking out a myriad of really powerful lands that are really common in EDH. Though, Acid-Moss might be really hard to find and/or be much more expensive in your area :(
Explorer's Scope and Snake Umbra are can also be deceptively useful in any deck where attacking is it's main strategy.
In one of my other decks, I also had Taunting Elf, Shinen of Life's Roar, and Glaring Spotlight as budget ways to give your whole board mass-reach and close out games. They might be worth considering here as well?
This card is a little over $1 but if you ever have a little more to spend on a single card, Ulvenwald Tracker could be really nice here, especially with all your haste enablers!
Also feel free to dismiss all these recommendations! Your deck honestly looks really great and fun just as it is! :D

Oh man, I didn't expect that to be a real edit you made. I think it'll work great! Now that you did it:
Easy replacements for Nature's Claim are Knight of Autumn and Reclamation Sage, so those might be a good include. Any replacement for Beast Within will obviously be much worse, but Meteor Golem and Mold Shambler are what I can think of off the top of my head. And I honestly can't think of anything to replace Natural Order or Tooth and Nail.
Other things: You're running 16 noncreature spells. Nikya of the Old Ways might limit you a bit, but I think it has enormous potential and might be worth a look.
I've also found that Captain Sisay is busted in this kind of deck if you have $15 that you're willing to spend.
I still love the deck!
