legendofa on The more I think about …

Optimator I assume you're referring to the flavor text on Crested Sunmare. As I understand it, story influences flavor text much more often than the other way around (this is where Ghostfire deserves mention), and it's easy enough to interpret this as desperate speculation on Djeru's part rather than an indicator of future events. It's possible that it's simply another desert monster, alongside the cerodons and sandwurms.

Sure, the big horse is there, and it's somewhat out of place both mechanically and flavorfully, but that is literally the only suggestion that anything else might exist on Amonkhet. Even if Djeru is right, and the Sunmare comes from somewhere else on the plane, it would still have the Phyrexian Invasion to contend with. And if this hypothetical horse-land of Amonkhet is isolated enough to survive two separate planar invasions with nobody on- or off-plane being aware of its existence, how much influence can it have?

Crested Sunmare, by itself, is too vague and undeveloped to offer anything more than a kernel of inspiration.

Rhadamanthus on Pauper Reanimator?

I think Eldrazi Devastator would be a better choice over Hand of Emrakul. I used to play that in Pauper Tron several years ago alongside Ulamog's Crusher. I also ran Fangren Marauder and Maul Splicer but I don't know if those would work as well for what you're doing here. Greater Sandwurm could also be an interesting option for you.

I just picked up Migration Path and Reshape the Earth(not sure if the CMC is too high). Migration Path seems similar to Cultivate.

I grabbed Kogla, the Titan Ape, Titanoth Rex, Greater Sandwurm, and Honey Mammoth as well for some stronger creatures for the time being.

Personally I would go with a stronger mana-base so that you can play 4 copies of Titanoth Rex instead of Greater Sandwurm. I understand that cycling for 2 of any color and cycling for 1 and a Green is a world of difference but the payoff for the creature it delivers is worth it imo. I also know that you're making this Budget so you're trying to be flexible.

Other than that, great deck! I very much like the Cascade + Living End mechanic and you nailed it!

I would definitely put in Titanoth Rex from maybeboard into mainboard, especially if you're already running other 2 mana cycling creatuers like Greater Sandwurm.

Although it is a little bit more expensive, Simian Spirit Guide can provide acceleration if needed. Beast Within is also a decent addition to living end since the 3/3 drawback is removed most of the time.

I personally like Archfiend of Ifnir, although it does cost 2 mana to cycle as well.

Lastly, evoke cards like Shriekmaw and Ingot Chewer are cheap, provide some interaction if needed, and synergize nicely with living end.

I would take Primordial Wurm and Quilled Slagwurm out first, as they are flavortext dudes. Greater Sandwurm would be cut after that, but the sandwurm does come with its advantages.

As far as things to take out, you have so many wurms and not all of them are winners. and they are all also very high cmc. maybe take out Greater Sandwurm, Primordial Wurm, Quilled Slagwurm?

Oh, one more card suggestion: Greater Sandwurm.

I haven't heard any mention in the Dune Novels that said that the wurms can lie still for years (although that seems like something they'd be capable of).

But the flavor text is on point with the tremors startling them.
