Hey, there's not much to say yet as this is just a list of cards you want to play, nice Swordtooth. Most of what you have so far on the low budget is good, but Decree of Savagery is not playable and Sun-Crested Pterodon, Elfhame Palace, Stone Quarry are really lackluster.

Do you own Gishath? I don't see him here, but I do see Atla. If you don't own Gishath then he's really not worth getting for $20 if you're on such a low budget. Atla is a fine Commander for Dinos and you have her. For $20 you could get many budget cards that are good with Atla rather than just Gishath.

Atla and Gishath will play very differently. Gishath is more straight forward, ramp and Dinos. Atla is more complex since you want ramp, sac outlets for Eggs and Dinos. Marauding Raptor is a combo Dino with Atla to kill an Egg right when it ETB. It also triggers enrage when a Dino ETB.

---

Some budget Dinos to consider adding:

• Marauding Raptor
• Quartzwood Crasher
• Apex Altisaur
• Ripjaw Raptor
• Thrasta, Tempest's Roar
• The Tarrasque
• Runic Armasaur
• Thrashing Brontodon
• Ranging Raptors

Some budget cards that have good interactions with Atla and/or Dinos or are ramp:

• Mirror Entity: is a Dino, is an Egg, can turn all creatures you control into Eggs, is a sac outlet.
• Garruk's Uprising: repeatable draw when Dinos ETB and give all Dinos trample.
• Goblin Bombardment: sac outlet for Eggs and each Egg that's saced can do 1 damage to another Egg to kill it too.
• Swiftfoot Boots: haste and hexproof protection for Atla.
• Arcane Signet: staple budget mana rock.
• Fellwar Stone
• Fertile Ground
• Wild Growth
• Farseek with Cinder Glade, Canopy Vista and Alpine Meadow.
• Forerunner of the Empire: puts the Dino on the top of your library to then sac an Egg. It can also kill Eggs.
• Mwonvuli Beast Tracker: puts the Dino with trample on the top of your library to then sac an Egg.
• High Market: sac outlet.
• Tyrite Sanctum: repeatable to make Atla bigger with +1/+1 counters and then give her indestructible.
• Fanatical Devotion: sac outlet and protection from most removal.
• Court of Bounty: can cheat a Dino from your hand onto the battlefield as well as be repeatable draw at your end step.
• Battlemage's Bracers: haste and double the Egg trigger of Atla.
• Fires of Yavimaya: haste enabler for all creatures you control including tokens.

Some budget land upgrades to consider:

• Exotic Orchard
• Path of Ancestry
• Jungle Shrine
• Opal Palace: cast Atla with it to give her one or more +1/+1 counter.
• Unclaimed Territory
• High Market
• Tyrite Sanctum
• Battlefield Forge
• Cinder Glade
• Canopy Vista
• Alpine Meadow
• Game Trail
• Fortified Village

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, for a first Commander deck very nice budget version of Tuvasa.

Robe of Stars is from new Aura of Courage Commander precon and it's powerful repeatable protection for Tuvasa and all auras that are attached to her. Mantle of the Ancients is also in that precon and it's a way to reanimate all your auras while also pumping Tuvasa. Open the Armory is a budget aura tutor or it can could get Robe. Moon-Blessed Cleric is a budget enchantment tutor from Adventures of Forgotten Realms.

• Robe of Stars --> Starfield of Nyx
• Mantle of the Ancients --> Creeping Renaissance
• Open the Armory --> Martial Law
• Moon-Blessed Cleric --> Plea for Guidance

Setessan Champion is an upgrade for an enchantress. Alpha Authority can protect Tuvasa from opponents targeting with hexproof, but still lets you target her to keep enchanting her and it also gives menace which combined with how big Tuvasa can get is good evasion for her. Favor of the Overbeing gives flying evasion and vigilance letting Tuvasa be an attacker as well as a blocker. Seal of Primordium is an upgrade for Reclamation Sage since it's an enchantment that you can sac right away or at instant speed later.

• Setessan Champion --> Yavimaya Enchantress
• Alpha Authority --> Alseid of Life's Bounty
• Favor of the Overbeing --> Hypnotic Siren
• Seal of Primordium --> Reclamation Sage

Consider some budget manabase improvements? The manabase looks neglected compared to the rest of your deck. 26 basic lands is a lot for three colors and except for Command Tower all the other dual lands here ETB tapped. Some lands to consider adding in place of some basic lands, Tranquil Expanse, Woodland Stream and Meandering River:

• Exotic Orchard
• Bant Panorama
• Path of Ancestry
• Yavimaya Coast
• Prairie Stream
• Canopy Vista
• Port Town
• Fortified Village
• Vineglimmer Snarl

The Tango lands and Reveal lands have interaction with basic lands to ETB untapped. Could also consider cutting a few lands in place of some more ramp/color fixing that has interaction with Tuvasa. Wild Growth, Abundant Growth and Wolfwillow Haven.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, welcome to TappedOut.

Your deck doesn't have a Commander. To make Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor the Commander then go into the deck editor. In the text list of cards find Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor and add the CMDR tag at the end.

Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor *CMDR*

Save and Obuun will appear in Commander category with a card image.

---

On a budget well done so far, nice Jeweled Lotus. Command Tower and Arcane Signet are two budget staples for Commander to consider adding. Since Obuun can put +1/+1 counters on himself to make himself a threat to do Commander damage then having more sources of evasion helps. Garruk's Uprising is a great budget card that gives all creatures you control trample as well as can be a repeatable draw source whenever a 4 or more power creature you control ETB including creating a creature token such as from Omnath, Locus of Rage.

For $5 Moraug, Fury of Akoum is a really good landfall effect for extra attacks. Druid Class starts with the static effect of gaining 1 life each time a land you control ETB. It has two other levels; level 2 is if you pay three mana you get the effect of being able to play an additional land. This effect is static, it stays as long as you control the Class. Level 3 for five mana you make a land into a potentially high power/toughness creature and you also get to keep the other Level effects. With the classes you don't lose the previous effects when you level up.

You're playing the Guildgates for Circuitous Route, but other than the interaction with Route Guildgates are not good lands since even on a budget there's better options. You could replace the Guildgates with Glade and Vista and replace Route with Skyshroud Claim which can search for Glade and Vista and put them potentially onto the battlefield untapped.

---

Some upgrades to consider:

• Garruk's Uprising --> Retreat to Emeria
• Moraug, Fury of Akoum --> Canopy Baloth
• Druid Class --> Kazandu Nectarpot
• Skyshroud Claim --> Circuitous Route
• Arcane Signet --> Sisay's Ring
• Command Tower --> Cryptic Caves
• Exotic Orchard --> Branchloft Pathway
• Cinder Glade --> Gruul Guildgate
• Canopy Vista --> Selesnya Guildgate
• Battlefield Forge --> Boros Guildgate
• Fortified Village --> 1x Plains
• Game Trail --> 1x Forest

If interested I offer more advice. Good luck with your deck.

Hey, your deck looks good, except the manabase, it looks neglected.

My suggestions are how to improve the manabase on a budget. Some upgrades to consider:

• Exotic Orchard --> Stone Quarry
• Haven of the Spirit Dragon --> Tranquil Expanse
• Battlefield Forge --> Wind-Scarred Crag
• Cinder Glade --> Rugged Highlands
• Canopy Vista --> Temple of Plenty
• Alpine Meadow --> Temple of Triumph
• Game Trail --> Temple of Abandon
• Fortified Village --> 1x Forest
• Furycalm Snarl --> 1x Mountain
• Naya Panorama --> 1x Mountain
• Opal Palace --> 1x Forest
• Ash Barrens --> 1x Plains
• Command Beacon --> 1x Mountain

By adding Glade, Vista and Meadow then Farseek could replace Rampant Growth as a land ramp spell upgrade since Farseek can search for a dual land to help color fixing. Glade and Vista will also make Skyshroud Claim better.

Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Enchantments Go Brrrr

Hey, nice casual budget version of Tuvasa. You have overall good card sense on a budget, but the manabase looks neglected compared to the rest of the deck.

Vanishing and new Robe of Stars can be powerful repeatable protection for Tuvasa since phasing also affects all auras or equipment attached to Tuvasa including Vanishing or Robe. Phasing saves Tuvasa and everything attached to her from removal and this kind of protection is really good against board wipes. The wipe will affect all players, but you save Tuvasa and all auras attached to her which all return at your next untap step to attack with a huge Tuvasa where as your opponents may not have creatures.

Whip Silk is a unique aura because it can return itself to your hand from the battlefield for only one mana even at instant speed. This interaction is excellent with enchantresses to draw, having a one drop enchantment to repeatedly cast. Pair Whip with Sigarda's Aid which lets you cast auras at instant speed and Tuvasa can trigger to draw once on each player's turn. Pair Whip with Sanctum Weaver and an enchantress to make Whip a draw engine depending on how much green mana Weaver can make.

Ethereal Armor and Ancestral Mask can help to make Tuvasa huge. The first strike from Ethereal makes Tuvasa literally unblockable and Mask counts all enchantments on the battlefield including opponents. Favor of the Overbeing gives Tuvasa +2/+2 and two good abilities for two mana: flying evasion and vigilance to use her as a big blocker.

Pair Sterling Grove and new Moon-Blessed Cleric with Sun Titan for repeatable enchantment tutors. Titan is versatile repeatable reanimation since he can reanimate Tuvasa or tons of other 3 CMC or less permanents.

---

Some budget land upgrades to consider:

• Exotic Orchard --> Simic Guildgate
• Yavimaya Coast --> Woodland Stream
• Prairie Stream --> Tranquil Cove
• Canopy Vista --> Blossoming Sands
• Vineglimmer Snarl --> Thornwood Falls
• Fortified Village --> Temple of Enlightenment
• Port Town --> Nimbus Maze

I offer more advice including cuts to consider. Good luck with your deck.

The efficient land cards are what make this set more expensive, but the sturdy defender deck can afford to slow things down with cheaper mana alternatives. On the plus side, the guild-gates at our disposal look like we're building up more walls, and the scry from the various Temple of Mystery 's helps to put the combo pieces we need into our hands.

A slimmer version:

1x Botanical Sanctum , 3x Temple of Mystery

1x Fortified Village , 3x Temple of Plenty

1x Glacial Fortress , 2x Temple of Enlightenment

1x Hallowed Fountain , 3x Azorius Guildgate

1x Wooded Bastion , 3x Selesnya Guildgate

1x Island 1x Forest

Windswept Heath, Razorverge Thicket, Wooded Bastion, Fortified Village, Brushland, Horizon Canopy, Bountiful Promenade, Sungrass Prairie, and Ancient Tomb would all make fine additions.
