Hey, nice start on a budget.

Elemental Bond and Garruk's Packleader draw a card when each 3/3 Serpent is created. Maskwood Nexus has already been suggested and it can make cards that create tokens much better since then those tokens are Serpents. Nexus can also be repeatable protection for Koma for three mana to create a Changeling. Nadir Kraken creates tokens and cares about +1/+1 counters. Nadir + Bond + Koma can create a Tentacle and grow Nadir on each player's turn for one mana. Chord of Calling can get Packleader and Whir of Invention can get Nexus.

Koma is a Commander who you want to cast as fast as possible because of her ability to create a Serpent on each player's turn. For this reason ramp should be priority because even if you all you draw is ramp that's fine because you can use it to ramp into Koma. You have the right idea with Kinnan, consider expanding on nonland ramp that taps?

• Incubation Druid
• Devoted Druid
• Gyre Sage
• Kiora's Follower
• Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner
• Simic Signet
• Talisman of Curiosity

Incubation, Sage, Devoted care about +1/+1 counters to make more ramp. If you control a land that can make blue mana then Incubation can make blue mana making her the best option.

Have you ever thought about running Marwyn, the Nurturer , Viridian Joiner or Gyre Sage ? I run them in my current list and have been pretty happy with them overall. MoRE mAna MOre bETteR!

king-saproling Thanks for the suggestions!

I was planning on grabbing Gyre Sage eventually, but completely forgot about Everflowing Chalice !

I would take out 1 of each basic lands plus two other cards and replace with a Dimir Signet, Golgari Signet, Simic Signet and a Sol Ring. Maybe one more mana rock or Gyre Sage. That should put your mana at 40% of your deck.

Clones are fun with ninjas. Nice cheap Clone or anything with that ability can copy the most powerful creature on the board and then ninjitsu it back to recast once you see a better creature hit the board.

Primeval Protector comes out cheap.

I'm just gonna say it... Command Tower????? Forest is strictly better. Likewise, Three Visits is also strictly better than Rampant Growth. Personally, I like Mindless Automaton better than Harmonize here. It'll almost certainly net more cards overall for the same 4 mana. Definitely think Gyre Sage should be here. could probably drop Sakura-Tribe Elder for it.
And Caged Sun and Vernal Bloom are always options.

I personally recommend Marwyn, the Nurturer as the commander for Elves due to the fact it's a worse Archdruid in the command zone. Freyalise is definitely a bomb of epic proportions, but at 5 cmc I personally wouldn't use it as the commander.

Also, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, Boreal Druid, Wild Growth, Heritage Druid, Nettle Sentinel are all musts for elf tribal. Gyre Sage can also be reasonably powerful.

I'd also cut Myriad Landscape for another basic Forest, and find room for Arbor Elf. Birds of Paradise is worth considering as well, but if you don't want to shell that out then you're good.

Llanowar Tribe is also a great spell.

That's a great starting point. There are some more things I'd recommend, but I'll have to come back later.

Dude this deck is wicked awesome. Great idea. Maybe a Solidarity of Heroes and Gyre Sage is what my build would have included. This right here though maybe something i would have to copy in the future for a new deck lol.
