Circle of the Land Druid

This is a super fun little combo deck! But it can get shut down pretty easily. I'd suggest putting some key Commander pieces in that you're missing... and thankfully there's a TON of things that work with a land-based deck archetype like this in those colors.
First off, you need to complete your Cultivator combo with Splendid Reclamation for getting all those lands out of your own yard in a very big way (Cultivator probably becomes the biggest thing in your game at this point)!
Centaur Vinecrasher or Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar are superb alternate or additional beatsticks for Cultivator with tons of synergy with your commander that also dig themselves out of the graveyard after they get immediately removed like in my games!
Terravore is nice if you never hit Cultivator in your games (or it gets hated out).
Constant Mists basically you get eternal fog in a deck like this whenever you want if it doesn't get countered.
Entish Restoration, Dig Up, and Beseech the Queen for synergistic tutors.
Kagha, Shadow Archdruid, Elvish Reclaimer, Grisly Salvage, World Shaper, Circle of the Land Druid, Stinkweed Imp, Winding Way, Life from the Loam, Scapeshift, and Satyr Wayfinder for digging through the deck faster while also rotating lands. Life From the Loam is ESPECIALLY GOOD for its dredge ability in this deck so you can keep casting it. Scapeshift is the single most powerful cycler you could run but it's very $$$ and doesn't synergize completely with this deck (it's more for landfall decks, but it can still work with this too).
The utility lands Witch's Cottage, Mortuary Mire, Memorial to Folly can help get your creatures back out of the 'yard.
The utility lands Witch's Clinic, Rogue's Passage, Ghost Quarter, Strip Mine, Wasteland, Field of the Dead, Thespian's Stage, Restless Cottage, Boseiju, Who Endures, and Takenuma, Abandoned Mire would all help your deck's overall resilience and ability to deal with threats.
Either Abundance or Rishkar's Expertise could be a game-ending bomb for you. Rishkar's is great if your commander has enough power. You can draw a ton of your deck, likely hit a tutor you cast for free, then if your hand is flooded with lands you discard down to 7 putting all those lands in your 'yard making your commander even bigger! Abundance isn't as synergistic, but is basically a creature tutor spell for Cultivator Colossus if you decide to not run any other beaters or utility creatures.
Assassin's Trophy for instant-cast targeted removal of EVERYTHING.
Tear Asunder and Abrupt Decay are less-good Assassin's Trophy but at least Decay can't be countered.
Casualties of War for when you need to get rid of a lot of different pests that turn.
Return to Nature for instant-cast targeted removal of Enchantment/Artifact or Graveyard card.
Drown in Filth for a land-synergistic targeted removal that gets around indestructible.
Terror Tide for land-synergistic boardwipe that also gets around indestructible.
Nurgle's Conscription, Froghemoth, and Bojuka Bog for some enemy graveyard hate.
Rain of Filth for a MASSIVE spike in mana for that turn.
Worm Harvest for generating a TON of tokens off of the lands in your 'yard.
Titania, Protector of Argoth or Rampaging Baloths for much, much bigger tokens.
Gitrog, Horror of Zhava and The Gitrog Monster for super frog-land-pseudocycling synergy!
Brawn since you're putting things in your 'yard anyways you might as well give your commander and other beatsticks Trample for free! Trample has saved me so many times in games. No reason not to run it in this deck tbh.
Erinis, Gloom Stalker, Ayula's Influence, and Old Rutstein for more synergy with your commander's ability.
Life / Death for making an army out of your lands or pulling something out of your 'yard.
The planeswalkers Nissa of Shadowed Boughs and Vraska, Golgari Queen can give you alternate win-cons while also being synergistic with your commander.
If you don't need more combo stuff and just need another big beatstick alternate for the Colossus it's hard to go wrong with Yargle and Multani's power (plus the stained glass alt-art is sick!). But unfortunately it doesn't come with the cool yard recovery abilities of the other beatsticks I mentioned and doesn't have trample or evasion, but it does have more power than Emrakul!

@vehiclemaster - Cemetery Tampering looks slow, after casting this, it doesn't affect anything yet.. might playtest it first.. Shakedown Heavy has a lot of hoops to go through just draw a card.. and Topiary Stomper is a one time ramp only, and doesn't affect the board if i draw it very early.. The dispensable creatures i have for ramp feels better.. thanks for the suggestions though..
@RoxieRoxie - Ambitious Dragonborn is lacking compared to other big creatures i have already included in the deck.. like Carrion Grub, Old Stickfingers and Wall of Blood are much better.. Ancient Brass Dragon looks like a fun card though.. might be a card that overturn the situation of the game.. might consider it, but not soon.. since it's still costs high as of the moment.. thanks for the suggestions!
@Tiyos99 - thanks for the suggestions.. although Circle of the Land Druid is an okay disposable land recursion and self milling cheap creature, other options already included in the deck is much better w/o waiting for it to die.. Gray Slaad is not good.. aside from the adventure side of it, the payoff of having 4 or more creatures in the graveyard is underwhelming..

killer_eye: Haha, I logged in to specifically add those cards to my list!
Circle of the Land Druid 100%, Glowspore Shaman is annoying sometimes if I open with it and don't have the colors. The 4 mill from the druid is very good, even if it forces you to take back a land when it dies.
Cultist of the Absolute is very nice too, dirt cheap mana cost (my favorite) and a very minor drawback. Going in for sure. I like Demonic Embrace since it can be cast from the graveyard - makes it harder to get rid of, but also great value when milled or discarded. Of course, everything is up for consideration; I'll have to experiment to see what I would take out.

Check this card from CLB:
Circle of the Land Druid - 2 mana for 4 mill can easily replace Glowspore Shaman (2 mana for 3 mill) and easier color requirement.
Cultist of the Absolute - An aura like effect that doesn't need to get attached. Hogaak often dies for value, not needing to attach makes it effective vs other aura card. Can replace Demonic Embrace.

I'm happier than I should be to see Circle of the Land Druid be a Gnome Druid. Favorite race, favorite class. Of course, my current D&D character is a tiefling barbarian, so I should consider something with Karlach, Fury of Avernus and... Haunted One, I guess. Just an ordinary person until bad stuff started happening to and around him. (He's a dark and edgy character for a grimdark setting. Very FromSoftware-inspired.)
I feel like Wrathful Red Dragon shouldn't be able to target a player with Form of the Dragon, based on flavor alone.
