Orange+ on Moonage Daydream ~100$

Hey, Optimator :)
Oh, this looks like a great card. Would really fit well as a midgame piece, as it has decent P/T and has nice on-theme effects.
I have not considered it yet simply because I haven't looked into new cards in a while. All the mass printing, secret lair mayhem, and power creep has kinda gotten me feeling a bit indifferent to new products.. Anyways, seeing that this is in fact not spider man etc, but rather something that looks like magic the gathering, I shall consider it.
My first impressions are: + great midgame piece, + increases maximum handsize, - aggressive piece (I would rather have a blocker in the midgame), - alternative wincon (I want to win with combat damage), - high price (3.5$ cardkingdom price is gonna be hard to fit when the deck is already over bugdet).
For these reasons I will probably leave it as a potential include, but not add it immediately.
Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Hey, Venum! Thank you for the for all the suggestions.
As I said on an earlier post I'm really iffy on monoblack cards. This is due to having Drowned Secrets and Sage's Row Denizen in the deck. I did, however really like the Eater of the Dead/Phenax combo idea so I'll add it if I find a copy inexpensive enough.
Mirko Vosk's triggered mill is damage dependent and Kraken Hatchling has the same toughness. Guilt Feeder would work well with Mindcrank, but Syr Konrad is the same mana cost. However, they both look really good so I'll keep them in the maybeboard for now to see if they grow on me further.
Thank you again for the suggestions and May you draw well!

Always happy to offer suggestions, even if they don't make the cut! And I missed the "crewed by Fran and Balthier" on my first read, so I just saw "Whenever a Vehicle attacks, you may pay..." do that's where that thought came from.

Thanks much for the suggestions, legendofa!
I'll give them a hard look, but my initial thoughts are: Radha, Heir to Keld = maybe; Kessig Naturalist Flip and Savage Ventmaw = probably not. The deal is Creatures hardly _ever _Attack in this deck ... they pretty much just Crew vehicles. So it would be very rare to get from Radha or any mana at all from the Naturalist. And unfortunately, Balthier and Fran can only use three of the mana from the Ventmaw, because their triggered ability can only proc once per Turn. Thinking about the Ventmaw though has got me looking at Full Throttle and Aggravated Assault again. I dismissed them at first, but I'll keep an eye on them as the deck moves from goldfishing onto a real table :-)
Thanks again; cheers!

Ranger-Captain of Eos could be a great value card, seems very needed against combo which this kind of deck is mostly just toast to

Made a slight adjustment on this shifting to more of an "all-in" combo build with 1-drop Skyshroud Ridgeback replacing the more versatile but mana-costly Masked Vandals. No Vandal also means no need for landcycle creatures which in turn allows for a higher land count and a full set of 4 Lead the Stampede, standing in as extra copies of our lieges. Winding Way is not viable here because putting the Rites of Initiation in the yard would be disastrous.

Very cool list! Curious how 21 lands is working out? I know you have a few sacrifice a mountain to do X cards, but the CMC overall seems pretty low. Perhaps try 18 as a baseline and work your way up, if you haven't already. Just trying to see if there's more cards to squeeze into the main deck.

"Initially, zombies started out primarily associated with , believe it or not! But that era has long since passed, and now the landscape is dominated by mono zombies across multiple formats."
"As is typical of this slice of the color pie, Mono Zombies proceeds at a slow, methodical pace..."
Jimmies were successfully rustled. Could not bring myself to read the rest of the description. Great job!

You don't seem to need it, but when I added Hazoret the Fervent to my Soulflayer deck, the "Competitive" bar went up 90%. In addition to providing the 'flayer with Haste and (more importantly) Indestructible, it helps you get things into the graveyard and serves as a backup wincon. And it's under a dollar!

Would Radha, Heir to Keld, Kessig Naturalist Flip, or some ATLA firebending cards fit in here to help pay for Balthier and Fran's extra combats? Savage Ventmaw can pay for two extra attacks by itself.

Always happy to see another Phenax deck, here's my budget friendly suggestions :
Mortivore Cruel Somnophage Wight of Precinct Six they all pretty much do the same thing. / that benefits from the milled cards.
Undead Alchemist is a fun one to create token, which you can tap for more mill.
Guiltfeeder and Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker are also great synergy with mill-deck.
Eater of the Dead is also great because you mill at least 4 cards with the Phenax ability and you can rinse-repeat to possibly mill-out an opponent or all of them.

Dark Confidant would be so powerful in this deck with 46% zero CMC. Cut Diabolic Intent.
Floodbringer & Oboro Breezecaller > whichever 2 moonfolk you think are the weakest. Uyo seems bad in a deck with 6 spells.
Blossoming Tortoise > Sporemound
Treasure Hunt > Maelstrom Nexus
Ancient Tomb > Sol Ring
This deck would greatly benefit from Academy Ruins, Hall of Heliod's Generosity and Volrath's Stronghold

I love playing this commander. I also have a mono-red deck with ganax at the helm.
Swashbuckler Extraordinaire is worth considering, I have ended games with this common card no one notices
Demand Answers trades a treasure for two cards
Here’s my deck if you feel like taking a look, obviously I did not build it on budget or card rank, but there are a bunch of commons and uncommon that are very strong with the commander. hunting and brawling [Ganax]
Cheers, nice build

KayneMarco Thank you for bringing Ba Sing Se to my attention. It 100% belongs in this deck. After a quick scryfall search Bumi, Unleashed and Earthbending Student were the other earthbenders that caught my eye and belong in this strategy. Gotta trade into them and figure out 2 cuts.
