While it's obviously not helpful when you're trying to cut cards, any reason you don't lean more into mana dorks? I would think anything remotely playable would serve two purposes, offering acceleration if you still need it, and offering low to the ground bodies to help feed Jetmir. There are several 1 mana dorks, ranging from Llanowar Elves/Elvish Mystic/Fyndhorn Elves, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Boreal Druid, MAYBE Delighted Halfling might fit. At 2 mana I want to mention Bloom Tender, and at 3 Faeburrow Elder, I like dorks that can tap for extra potentially (and either can reward you if you end up with an off-colour permanent).

The other thing I wondered was if the various Green and White creatures that are 2 or 3 mana and draw on ETB, the idea being that they're either cycling effects that can block when you're behind, or an attacker that doesn't cost a full card, either seems handy. There are ton of them out there, but Helpful Hunter is a cat! I feel like I'd rather have more creatures on board than have some of the equipment you're using, ymmv.

For that matter, if you wanted to trim stuff I wonder if voltron stuff could go? I feel like this is more of a go-wide deck, with a Craterhoof-esque Commander.

Good luck with your cuts!

How much money are you willing/able to spend? A five color mana base can get expensive fast. Command Tower and Arcane Signet are pretty much everywhere, and they're reasonably affordable. City of Brass, Mana Confluence, and Reflecting Pool are some higher-end options, and fetch lands + triomes are good too. If you want some lower-budget options, look to cards like Rupture Spire, Vivid Crag, Survivors' Encampment, or Mirrodin's Core--keep in mind that what you save in money, you lose in speed and efficiency, so if you want the "best" land base, be ready to shell out several hundred dollars.

As far as bracketing, the guidelines are being modified right now. I would put this as lower Bracket 3, with two game changers. I don't see any fast combos that can win a match around turn 3, and it's not ridiculously oppressive and stax-y.

As another card suggestion, Fist of Suns gives your commander some redundancy, and Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender, and the Hierarchs (Noble and Ignoble) would give you some more early-game options.

I think it's fine if it's not abused. Bloom Tender is one of my bigger concerns. I would personally house rule Tender to only create mana from your commander's identity. I know infinite mana is basically a gimme in {G}-based color sets anyway, but something just doesn't feel right about letting Eladamri, Korvecdal or whatever use Tender + Leyline of the Guildpact for five mana with minimal investment. Kinnan, Bonder ProdigyGC would be worse. Maybe if this happens, I'll put the Leyline in my Elf deck and see how it feels.

Also, things like the Shadowmoor Liege cycle feel potentially abusable. If you dump Creakwood Liege, Boartusk Liege, Wilt-Leaf Liege, Thistledown Liege, Mindwrack Liege, and Glen Elendra Liege into that Kinnan deck as six extra anthems with good stuff on the side, I'm going to be questioning it.

Outside of those sort of cases, I'm generally okay with it. I feel like this is one of those "use it responsibly" ideas--using hybrids to support your strategy is fine, using hybrids as cheese feels like it's against the spirit of the color identity rules. There's a few decks I'd definitely brew up under new hybrid rules, Kulrath Knight being one of them. Love that card.

legendofa on Poll: Would you allow a …

Haven't actually tried to build and use it yet, but I outlined a deck on here with a monocolor commander and only hybrid cards. I touched grass, now I'm shipwrecked in Jund Something with this level of gimmickiness, I'd be okay with because it's not that good. If a deck has one, maybe two hybrid cards, I wouldn't have a problem with as long as they're announced ahead of time. Some of them have pretty unique and interesting effects.

My big problem would be if you used them to gain a clear technical advantage or had a specific use for them based on their color-ness. An easy example of this is Bloom Tender. No, you don't get to claim Tribune of Rot and Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second as multicolor in your monogreen Elf deck for Tender to make more mana. If you try to pull this during a game, you get one {G} and a lecture on permission abuse.

Another example is using something like Ashenmoor Liege, Balefire Liege, Creakwood Liege, Deathbringer Liege, Thistledown Liege, and Wilt-Leaf Liege to give your {W}{B} commander +7/+7. You get the Deathbringer, and the rest go away.

@AkaAkuma

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment and the suggestions!

Mana/land has not been an issue with this deck. Sure I get mana-starwed occasionally, as I do with all decks. But the ramping works well here.

As for your suggestions, the only two I feel I would need is the Temur Battlecrier (OMG, How have I not seen this before?!?) and the Rattleclaw Mystic. Bloom Tender is nice, but can not mana-fix me in certain situations.

Reading it a second time, Reckless Barbarian did become a bit more interesting. But the two other cards are not for this deck I feel. The limitation of two basic forest in the search criteria for the sorcery, makes it not worth it for this deck. And the dragon itself is underwhelming at 5 cmc.

I should maybe test changing out Dragon's hoard for the Cursed mirror tbh. Best thing is if comes out as a non-legendary copy of something. ^-^

Thanks again!

I have replaced Decanter of Endless Water, Shared Summons, Baleful Strix, and Vorosh, the Hunter with Bloom Tender, Korozda Guildmage, Lotuslight Dancers, and Ruthless Deathfang, which reduced the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.58 to 3.56, because the newer cards better fit the theme of this deck than did the older cards.

Add Bloom Tender, it taps for 3 mana once you've played your commander. Replace Rampant Growth with Nature's Lore.

Consider adding Craterhoof Behemoth to help close out games quicker or take out a troublesome opponent. Consider adding Kiora's Follower, cheap untapper targets anything

Forgot to mention mana dorks as a possible avenue to a speed-increase, like Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender, Fanatic of Rhonas, Somberwald Sage, etc.
