Blisterpod
Creature — Eldrazi Drone
Devoid (This card has no color.)
When Blisterpod dies, create a 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion creature token. It has "Sacrifice this creature: Add ."

Oh snap, well then, actually, I just looked and almost nothing is modern legal. My only Idea would be Blisterpod turn one into Infernal Plunge turn two, which then gives you 5 mana turn 2, but then you'd have to sacrifice a lot of deckspace for a specific combo

Elves of Deep Shadow is better than leaden myr
Unnatural Growth is super win more and a 5 drop, plus it has 4 green pips in a deck with a budget manabase of 12 forests and 8 swamps. I'd cut all 4, and if you really want 1 then at least cut 3.
Fatal Push staple removal spell that also synergizes well with all your revolt triggers. Maybe too expensive though.
Giant Growth and Might of the Masses are again win more; this isn't an infect deck. I'd replace with more enablers (i.e. creatures you can sacrifice or token generators) like Blisterpod, Tend the Pests, etc. I assume Bitterblossom is out of your budget unfortunately.

I think Hand of Emrakul, Decimator of the Provinces, Kozilek, the Great Distortion, and Pathrazer of Ulamog are too expensive to cast / commander ability for what they do. Some replacement examples would be: Terastodon, Void Winnower, Fleshbag Marauder, Noxious Gearhulk, Ravenous Chupacabra, Plaguecrafter, Eternal Witness, It That Betrays, Woodfall Primus, Acidic Slime, Ob Nixilis, Unshackled, Sepulchral Primordial, Overseer of the Damned, etc.
cards like Dalek Squadron with a sac outlet will get you a lot of Meren counters quickly. cards like Greater Good are great at filling your graveyard and your hand. cards like Oversold Cemetery are great for your low mana creatures and late game expensive creatures. Tragic Slip isn't a very good card for multiplayer commander, unless you are using something like Isochron Scepter
I think your deck is a little heavy on creature token generators, especially your creatures. I know they are there to build up tokens on Meren and to generate mana, in the early game, but they aren't doing much in the mid to late game. Maybe replace a few with some faster reanimator spells like: Living Death, Lifeline (a personal favorite), Necromancy, Animate Dead, Victimize, Rescue from the Underworld, Beacon of Unrest, etc.
Other cards I would consider cutting: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave (too slow imo unless he is your commander), Blisterpod (needs to die to get the token), Pawn of Ulamog, Vorapede, Village Rites, Gray Merchant of Asphodel (starts to shine with lots of reanimator stuff), Woe Strider, Scion Summoner, Brood Monitor, Deathreap Ritual, Commander's Sphere
It's tough to suggest cards for a budget deck. A card that I might consider to be absolutely necessary could require cheaper options in other parts of the deck to make it fit.

Some thoughts:
-
Bone Shards is better than Eaten Alive
-
Carrion Feeder is better than Bloodthrone Vampire, and you prolly want a playset.
-
I’m not a fan of either Mortician Beetle or Reassembling Skeleton. The Beetle just feels like it’ll be hard to get value from, and the Skeleton just feels waay too slow/clumsy. I’d suggest using Blisterpod and Shambling Ghast instead, as these both have stronger death triggers, and can chump-block in the early game to help ramp you into the spells that matter.
-
Tap lands are almost always a terrible idea. You’re only running 2 colours so running just basics should be fine, and trip you up less often, than running stuff like Evolving Wilds. I’d suggest just playing 11x Swamp, 11x Forest, 2x Golgari Rot Farm

Thanks viewtifulstyle!
I think you're right, it does feel a little slow. I thought the card early card draw from Salvage Drone would speed up the deck by helping me draw into my combo pieces, but maybe focusing on ramping up to play what I already have in my hand is the better choice. I don't know if I have any room for more interaction, but I can try swapping out salvage drone for Blisterpod to see if it's better.

Thanks wallisface! Adding the 0 fixed it, I don't know why I didn't think of that haha
I always appreciate advice, so this is very much appreciated!
You're totally right about everything you said there. I've tried playing this deck in it's current state a few times and it just does not play consistently. At some point I'm going to try and remake this deck, this time starting with 1 CMC creatures like Salvage Drone or Blisterpod and going up to 7 or 8 CMC for Bane of Bala Ged and maybe Elder Deep-Fiend. I'll also ditch the late game cards for some earlier game interaction and try to make it not so dependent on Pyre of Heroes.
Thanks again for the advice, I'll use it to try and make this an actually viable deck!

Ooh if you're set on comboing with Retribution of the Ancients, then Young Wolf could perhaps replace Blisterpod since he's another Undying body.

Hi wallisface,thanks for your comment! 1) i prefering the addictional cost of Spark Harvest. 2) i can increase creatures but Blisterpod and Butcher Ghoul are valid for two. and you can utilize Butcher Ghoul many times with Retribution of the Ancients
