cPute actually when i started building this deck i left aside all the plus +1/+1 cards. But the extra ability of this one makes it worth to consider. Maybe to replace Sporocyst. Whenever i can cast it in the second or third turns it might be a great complement to my commander.

haha.. i was looking at your deck right now.

I also already have a Sphinx. He is the same CMC and I have found that the additional draw and uptap steps are pretty nice.

I already have a Tyranid as well, Genestealer Patriarch, but i have found he has mixed results the few times i have seen him in play. Sporocyst might be a good substitution (3 mana = 2 lands, 5 mana = 4 lands)

Hi Hybrow, very nice deck! I've done a similar one if you want to check it The taxonomy of Volo. Did you consided Sporocyst and Consecrated Sphinx? Maybe I will replace the snake slot of my Lotus Cobra with your choice of Ice-Fang Coatl.

Looks like a solid list so far. Personally I would make these swaps:

Muldrotha, the Gravetide -> Kodama of the East Tree
Notion Thief -> Stone-Seeder Hierophant
Ramunap Excavator -> Awaken the Woods
Courser of Kruphix -> Tireless Provisioner
Doubling Season -> Spark Double
Roil Elemental -> Quantum Misalignment
Parallel Lives -> Irenicus's Vile Duplication
Crucible of Worlds -> Sakura-Tribe Scout
Harrow -> Elvish Rejuvenator
Roiling Regrowth -> Sporocyst
Cultivate -> Farhaven Elf
1x Island -> Field of the Dead
Meloku the Clouded Mirror -> Animist's Awakening
Trade Routes -> Genesis Wave
Life from the Loam -> Nissa, Resurgent Animist
Zuran Orb -> Squandered Resources

Hi again, I just revised my version of the deck on paper and figured some very juicy interactions. Retreat to Coralhelm, with Awaken the Woods, Sporocyst, Animist's Awakening. with your cmdr and retreat on the battlefield, you cast any of the named above, copy it. Multiple retreat triggers where you untap magus, retap her for her ability, and stack multiple of her delayed "When you next cast an x cost spell copy it".

Also, pulled All Will Be One, and realised when paired with The Red Terror it goes infinite :)
