king-saproling on Kykar kicks ass (Suggestions needed!) (Budget)

Looks like a good start. Personally I would make these swaps:

Chandra, Torch of Defiance -> Reconnaissance Mission
Ral, Izzet Viceroy -> The Indomitable
Ancestor's Aid -> Irenicus's Vile Duplication
Mizzium Tank -> Valor in Akros
Goblin Electromancer -> Distant Melody

I like running Nettle Sentinel and Birchlore Rangers as they can generate a ton of mana together. Quirion Ranger lets you re-use Priest of Titania or if you add Timberwatch Elf. Also, its blue but there are some elves(Birchlore Rangers included) that generate blue mana so Distant Melody can draw like 10 cards relatively easily. It also gets even scarier with Lys Alana Huntmaster.

Looking good! I think you might enjoy having a little more card draw in the deck. Just to make sure that you are drawing all the cool elements and ramp you need to play. Mulldrifter is a great start.

Vanquisher's Banner, Omnath, Locus of the Roil, Risen Reef, Distant Melody, Soul of the Harvest

Starting with mana, you only have 44 sources. I would recommend going around 47. Sapphire Medallion and Jet Medallion are a lot better than the monuments, although more expensive. You want to avoid 3 mana rocks like Dimir Locket and Commander's Sphere, you have better options in two mana ones. Add Coldsteel Heart, Fellwar Stone, Dimir Signet, Talisman of Dominance and at least one land.

For interaction, you could add enchantment removal like Feed the Swarm. Bitter Triumph is new and may be better than Infernal Grasp here.

Since mill and discard can basically act as card draw, you can run cards like Mire Triton, Stitcher's Supplier, Undead Butler, Palantir of Orthanc, and Fact or Fiction, as well as sacrifice based card draw like Corrupted Conviction, Village Rites, and Deadly Dispute. There's also always all-stars Black Market Connections, Phyrexian Arena, and Rhystic Study if you want to go that direction.

Some card to protect your commander like Netherborn Altar, Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Zombie Master or Lightning Greaves / Swiftfoot Boots may be helpful if you rely on Gisa and it keeps getting removed.

There are certain cards I am not a fan of in this deck including Master of Death, Prized Amalgam, Scourge of Nel Toth, Tomebound Lich, Dead Revels, and Syphon Flesh.

Some other cards to consider include Cryptbreaker, Geralf, Visionary Stitcher, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Lord of the Undead, Noxious Ghoul, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, The Scarab God, Distant Melody, Buried Alive, Diabolic Intent, Liliana, Dreadhorde General. You could probably replace similar cards with these if they are better.

Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Sac Outlet is infinite. I don't think you run many sac outlets. You could add Acererak the Archlich to go infinite with just Rooftop Storm.

Have you considered Moonblade Shinobi or Distant Melody?

I count only 2 draw option:

• Kithkin Mourncaller
• Augury Adept

So I would add at least another 5 draw options. Maybe:

• Distant Melody
• Mentor of the Meek
• Lifecrafter's Bestiary
• Arcane Encyclopedia

Also I count only 2 ramp spells. Maybe also 5 other ones:

• Burnished Hart
• Arcane Signet
• Commander's Sphere
• Wayfarer's Bauble
• Chromatic Lantern

Also I would include Mirror Entity: Nice synergy and a good win option.

With the high number of tappers I would also include Siren's Call

Also the number of Mass Removal is to low. Some options:

• Dusk / Dawn
• Citywide Bust

I would drop Distant Melody for Reconnaissance Mission or Bident of Thassa, since the sorcery is only good if you're already ahead. Vanquisher's Banner can also be cut for the other one.

I do see a big lack of mana rocks to help you ramp, which are super important in Esper: Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Hierarchy, Azorius Signet, etc. I'd make sure you have all 6 of the Talisman/Signets in here, in addition to the rocks you already have.

FungalDominance on Millicent, Restless Revenant Upgraded Precon

gw1108 I think I agree on the mana ramp and lands. I'd like another 1 land and 2 ramp, just having a hard time deciding what to cut to get it.

However, devils advocate on the card draw, with Midnight Clock, Pull from Tomorrow, Bident of Thassa, Distant Melody, Skullclamp, Mentor of the Meek, Sire of the Storm, Ethereal Investigator, Bygone Bishop, Ghostly Pilferer, Drogskol Reaver, do I really need more card draw? Do the creatures not count as much for card draw since some of them have a bit higher CMC?

Thank you for the feedback, I look forward to your response!
