Eternal Witness

Creature — Human Shaman

When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, you may return target card from your graveyard to your hand.

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.

What is your budget per card?

Why run a signet in a 2 color deck with green? Rampant Growth/Nature's Lore are budget friendly swaps

Elemental Bond - Should budget allow, better than colossal majesty

Soul's Majesty - Budget friendly draw

Harmonize - Regula, reliable draw

Life's Legacy/Momentous Fall - Super draw, beware of the blue player however

Traverse the Outlands - ???? Or do you not have enough basics?

Sakura-Tribe Elder/Wood Elves/Nissa's Pilgrimage/Farhaven Elf - Solid ramp

Eternal Witness - Recursion

Fierce Empath - Tutor

Inferno Titan - Damage

Terastodon - Removal (that can hit pesky lands)

Decimate - 4 in 1!

Would love to hear your thoughts on each suggestion, hope this helps!

Not me but someone in my pod had Ziatora, the Incinerator, a Riveteers Ascendancy and Yargle and Multani on the board with a Eternal Witness in the graveyard. At end of turn they sacrificed Yargle, which triggers riverteers choosing Eternal witness as the target to bring back. Is Yargle a valid target for Eternal ? or must the stack resolve before Yargle hits the graveyard and is a valid target

Hey! Nice to see you again, +1

Is Vedalken Orrery really necessary redundancy?

Heroic Intervention - Protection

Seedborn Muse > (or in addition to) Wilderness reclamaion

Guardian Project - Draw (they can remove in response to the trigger to deny you the draw but still worth considering)

Yavimaya Hollow - Regen (and politics if you are inclined)

Eternal Witness > Reclaim. Or just most green recursion spells are much better.

Nature's Lore/Three Visits > Rampant growth

Springbloom Druid - Green "harrow" (almost) on a creature. Not really needed but it serves you better than thornwield archer

Looks like a lot of fun to play, you've invested quite some money into it. If you want to get even more crazy on that front, Allosaurus Shepherd seems like a fun addition; both as redundancy for Cavern of Souls and as a fun token booster. Though it's hard to find one, Eladamri, Lord of Leaves is rather spectacular too in a deck like this; ticks all the boxes and then some. Yavimaya Hollow is an excellent card to keep your stuff around in case someone tries to be smart. I'd also find a spot for Eternal Witness; not an Elf nor legendary but she's got such fantastic utility ... maybe worth considering. Last but not least, Fauna Shaman; soooo good and can help you find the combo/synergy cards you need. Have fun with the brew.

Interesting list. I'm a huge fan of land strategies in EDH. I typically build around the legacy 43 Lands.dec shell.

Dust Bowl is crucial late game alongside a lot of basic lands.

Elvish Reclaimer you have some stuff to tutor for.

Eternal Witness, Holistic Wisdom and/or Turntimber Sower solid recursion.

Creeping Renaissance, Storm the Festival, Moment's Peace and Soul of New Phyrexia are neat discard fodder.

Your maybeboard is full of power. I'd cut like 10 forests to add the good stuff like Constant Mists, Crucible of Worlds and Timber Protector

Next step for this list, BATTLES!!!

lets see if I can replace some of the generic goodstuff with either battles or cards from sets that have adventures: ELD, WOE, CLB.

ie: Eternal Witness -> Invasion of Shandalar  Flip ie: Crystal Shard -> Extraordinary Journey
