Circuitous Route

Sorcery

Search your library for up to two basic land cards and/or Gate cards, put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.

If you want a budget 5-color mana-base, gates are your best bet. And Gond Gate does exactly what you want. You also get to play some bad ramp cards that get much, much better since you can tutor for gates like Circuitous Route and Explore the Underdark. I have a 5-color deck (Eight Drop Tribal) and it does really pretty well with that mana-base and ramp package. The one thing to note is you'll want to decide if you're going to include Maze's End or not. If you aren't, I would tell people that up front in the turn zero discussion because otherwise it can put a marker on you.

  1. Child of Alara instead of Fusion Elemental… Damn thing was a useless 8/8 even back when it could’ve been playable in Conflux Zoo decks.

  2. Supreme Verdict instead of Duneblast

  3. Medomai the Ageless instead of Primeval Spawn… Works better with the Yore-Tiller Nephilim

  4. Circuitous Route instead of Explosive Vegetation. Includes Guildgates (like Gond Gate)

  5. Drop Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse for Warped Landscape and Terminal Moraine… I can tell that you may be a fledgling EDH Player… Those lands have since been phased out due to the restriction of being Basic Fetchlands with no net Benefit… The others can act as generic mana producing lands regardless of whether they get cracked… Ash Barrens and/or Krosan Verge, your choice for replacing one of the slow Fetchlands.

Depending on if any overlap with some creatures in your deck, these are all pretty cheap adds, I ended up needing a spreadsheet to keep my creature types straight, lol. I made sure to have no Legendary, Humans, or Wizards... and not one duplicate creature type.

Topiary Stomper --land fetch

Sludge Monster -- targeted removal

Lord of Change -- draw

Prosperous Innkeeper -- life gain

Beastcaller Savant for ramp pays for himself first turn (if you duplicate)

Reef Worm - protection from board wipes

I would also recommend changing out some creatures that are underperforming for stuff like Cultivate, Circuitous Route, Explosive Vegetation, and Kodama's Reach .. my Volo tends to be pretty mana hungry.

There are lots of options to help fix your mana that have been printed, some of the handiest are those that can dig out a land, and lands that make more than 1 colour. Both are very useful, some effects can even dig out 2 or 3 colour lands, but these are pricier in most cases. Some budget options include Jund Panorama, Riveteers Overlook, Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Mountain Valley, and Rocky Tar Pit (the last two can find non-Basic lands, this includes Woodland Chasm, Highland Forest, Sulfurous Mire), Cinder Glade, Smoldering Marsh). Blighted Woodland can find other land types if you have Green already, Myriad Landscape can find Green (or another colour), finding Green is usually important because of cards like Cultivate, and Kodama's Reach, these ramp you but can also find you a needed land type. There are also even better options (arguably) like Farseek, Nature's Lore and the pricier Three Visits, these can find non-Basic lands, making them very useful. I always liked Harrow, it can find 2 different colours of land if it's helpful, there is also the lesser Roiling Regrowth. Since your Commander is at 5 mana, you might even include stuff like Skyshroud Claim or Circuitous Route, there are more but they aren't as popular due to costing 4 mana (you can get stuck on 2 or 3 lands).

A pair of random cards that might work for you are Midnight Reaper and Grim Haruspex, both draw cards whenever your creatures die, and cost very little mana. Another couple randomly useful creatures Dockside Chef, Skullport Merchant, and Mayhem Devil, which are certainly gotten pricier but is still extremely good.

Happy deck building!

Hey, interesting Zombie theme. There's many excellent cards here, but also way too much filler for a 500+ budget. I presume the wincon here is Captain? With Gravecrawler combos of Altar or Rooftop?

Only 11 ramp sources here with only 33 lands are low numbers for Muldrotha. I don't consider Explosive Vegetation and Circuitous Route playable ramp either with a $100 low budget let alone a higher $500+ budget. There's so many ramp choices that have better interaction with Muldrotha that aren't 4 mana. 3.5 avg. CMC (mana curve) is high for only these numbers too. Something should give? Either add more ramp, add more lands, cut the lesser high CMC cards, or do all this to improve your deck?

To reduce mana curve these are some cards to consider cutting?

Others:

The Spirit tribal theme is not needed here. Some Spirits are fine, if the card is good by itself or helps Muldrotha some other ways and doesn't need other Spirits. There's a reason that Cemetery Desecrator isn't even $1 and is a Mythic rare, it's a terrible card for 6 mana. Drownyard Amalgam is at least not Mythic, but is just as bad for a five drop. You don't need these Zombies, they aren't helping your deck in any way for their mana cost.

It can help to see a deck list that's not 99 cards yet, but has been stripped of a lot of fat. Seeing a list this way can help to smooth the mana curve by adding more cards at certain parts of it that need more such as two drops here. In boarder terms consider more ramp, draw and low mana cost reanimation/self-mill enablers to setup Muldrotha and Zombies?

Good luck with your deck.

Explore the Underdark, Circuitous Route, District Guide, Open the Gates, Gatecreeper Vine all tutor specifically for gates. I'd also recommend an Amulet of Vigor if you can afford it.
