Hey, Shared Summons is an instant speed budget tutor to get Sage and Plaxmanta to protect the combo or any other pair of creatures. Siren Stormtamer is another budget creature who can protect the combo. Vedalken AEthermage instant wizardcycling can get Sage or Fathom or any other Wizard. Neoform is a powerful budget spell, it consistently will not be able to get Sage, but it can tutor for another creature and cheat it onto the battlefield.

By adding Rimewood Falls than Farseek, Lore and Visits have a Simic dual land to search for. Yavimaya Coast , Vineglimmer Snarl , Ash Barrens , Bant Panorama are more budget lands to consider adding especially Coast since it can ETB turn one to cast Birds.

When I build two color decks I allocate much of the budget within reason to lands. If this means I don't play a few expensive price cards such as Arachnogenesis then that's fine. Arachnogenesis is not a bad card, it's actually quite good and can be a blowout against opponents infinite attacking token army, but it isn't worth $34 when budget is a concern. For example, if I was building this deck on the budget you have I would play a Breeding Pool , Flooded Grove and Hinterland Harbor instead of Arachnogenesis.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, nice Cloudstone Curio :)

Dual lands that can ETB untapped are pretty important for color fixing with three color Animar to be able to cast him consistently turn three. Consider more dual lands in place of basic lands especially Mountains? Dual lands that can make green mana for a turn one green mana dork should be priority.

Some options within your budget to consider, ordered from less expensive to more:

• Yavimaya Coast
• Cragcrown Pathway  ^Flip
• Karplusan Forest
• Barkchannel Pathway  ^Flip
• Fire-Lit Thicket
• Rootbound Crag
• Riverglide Pathway  ^Flip
• Sulfur Falls
• Flooded Grove
• Cascade Bluffs
• Training Center
• Rejuvenating Springs
• Steam Vents

20 basic lands is too much for three colors and you're not trying to take advantage of Blood Moon / Back to Basics . You want to be able to consistently cast a green one drop mana dork, but that's going to be a problem with almost the same number of Forests than Mountains and Islands. My advice is cut Mountains and Islands for dual lands that can make these colors.

Cut more Mountains than Islands because overall red is less important than blue. You really only need red for Animar thus let dual lands and other nonland sources provide red mana and not basic lands. The more Mountains you can cut for dual lands the more consistent getting green and blue will be while not sacrificing red.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, well done for being new to Commander.

Because you have the three Forest Triomes, Stomping and Tomb then Rampant Growth and Kodama's Reach could be upgraded to Three Visits and Nature's Lore . 10 Tri lands is a lot since you also have the Triomes and all these lands always ETB tapped which is slow. Currently there's 18 lands that always ETB tapped which is really too many.

The advantage of cutting the Tri lands for lands that can ETB untapped is it can help you to cast ramp turn two or three. To speed up game play consider cutting Tri lands for other lands? The Trimoes and Shock lands have interaction with Check lands with 19 lands that can activate a Check. Pain lands and Filter lands always ETB untapped.

---

An example of an upgraded manabase with most lands you already have:

• 9 basics
• Tower
• Cavern
• Orchard
• Haven
• Territory
• Ancestry
• Wilds
• Expanse
• 5x Trimoes
• 5x Shocks
• 4x Checks: Rootbound Crag , Sulfur Falls , Dragonskull Summit , Sunpetal Grove
• 3x Pains: Karplusan Forest , Yavimaya Coast , Llanowar Wastes
• 3x Filters: Graven Cairns , Rugged Prairie , Flooded Grove

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Riku of Two Reflections - Wizard Duplication

Hey, good job winning with a budget deck.

Neoform is powerful when you can copy it to then tutor for and put two creatures onto the battlefield. It can setup two win conditions: sac a four drop to tutor for Kiki/Conscripts or sac a two drop to get Biovisionary/ Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip. Eldritch Evolution is similar, but more expensive price and it gives you a little more control over what creatures you can tutor for. Evolution is a good way to tutor for Worldgorger by sacing a four drop letting you combo with Riku for five mana instead of eight. Shared Summons instant can tutor for two creatures or four creatures if copied.

---

The manabase is the main area to consider improvements as there's too many lands that will always ETB tapped. Riku is very color dependent therefore the Bounce lands help a lot for color fixing, but they should be some of the only lands that always ETB tapped since they have terrible interaction with lots of other lands that always ETB tapped. Bivouac and Path of Ancestry are the other lands to play that always ETB tapped since they're three colors. The Bounce lands have interaction with the Pathways and Pathways are some less expensive lands: Cragcrown Pathway  ^Flip, Riverglide Pathway  ^Flip and Barkchannel Pathway  ^Flip. Barkchannel is less than $3 at TCGPlayer.

Exotic Orchard is good in multiplayer Commander. The Filter lands are the lowest prices they have been in a long time and they can help with color fixing: Fire-Lit Thicket , Flooded Grove and Cascade Bluffs . Shivan Reef , Yavimaya Coast , Cinder Glade , Sulfur Falls , Rootbound Crag are other less expensive land upgrades. Glade and Check lands have interaction with basic lands. Crop Rotation instant can help with color fixing since for three mana you can tutor for and put onto the battlefield any two lands.

Arcane Signet , Rattleclaw Mystic and Kiora's Follower are two drops that can ramp and color fix. Follower has interaction with Bounce lands since he can untap it the turn it's played or the Bounce land can make four mana.

---

Cards to consider cutting:

• Temple of the False God
• Gruul Guildgate
• Khalni Garden
• Rugged Highlands
• Temple of Abandon
• Temple of Epiphany
• Temple of Mystery
• Hamletback Goliath
• Wall of Runes
• Armory of Iroas
• Clone
• Glimpse of Freedom

Good luck with your deck.

Heliogabale on help me with my morophon eldrazis please!

You have a nice theme to run with, and obviously have already put some thought into this build. I do see things that I would do differently.

Your mana base could be made faster by replacing all lands that come into play tapped with filter lands, like Flooded Grove and Fetid Heath . There are 10 to chose from and they do give colorless right away, and the Double Masters versions are still affordable.

I have that feeling that your deck is pulling into opposite directions, both trying to cast for free and to reduce the mana cost of your Eldrazi and also playing off the tribal aspect. I would be curious to see a version without the tribal cards like Icon of Ancestry and Vanquisher's Banner and instead using Quicksilver Amulet and Lurking Predators , possibly with a Scroll Rack , to score even more free creatures.

I may be missing some interactions, but having access to all colors I would favor Rhystic Study over Guardian Project and Demonic Tutor over Drift of Phantasms. Not sure what you intend to fetch with Dimir Machinations but this can probably also be replaced by a better tutor.

Hope some of my inspirations are helpful!
