Holdout Settlement and Survivors' Encampment easily activate Archelos.

Chromatic Lantern is meh in a list with such a well rounded mana pool. Perhaps Exploration or some similar effect would give more gas to the strategy.

Why are the lands Holdout Settlement and Survivors' Encampment listed in the "Combo" section? I'm failing to see any combo with these lands, as Intruder Alarm doesn't untap lands.

Hey, nice upgrades to the precon on a budget.

With Kalamax I find that instants that can give him evasion while also draw a card are excellent. It's the draw that's makes 1 mana and 2 mana spells like this busted with Kalamax. Kalamax is a great attacker to do real Commander damage if he has evasion.

• Shadow Rift --> Strength of the Tajuru
• Leap --> Lunar Frenzy
• Fists of Flame --> Trap Essence

Kalamax is a mana hungry Commander because to take advantage of his abilities you want to cast an instant on each player's turn and to do this consistently requires having a lot of mana. Consider more ramp?

• Relic of Legends --> Haldan, Avid Arcanist
• Storm-Kiln Artist --> Pako, Arcane Retriever
• Roiling Regrowth --> Essence Scatter
• Fellwar Stone --> Evolution Charm
• Joint Exploration --> Curse of Echoes

Relic of Legends is ramp and a source to tap Kalamax that makes mana. Storm-Kiln Artist is more magecraft, ramp with treasures. Roiling Regrowth is like Harrow except the basic lands ETB tapped. From the precon Haldan, Avid Arcanist + Pako, Arcane Retriever aren't needed, they belong in their own deck, with their own strategies.

Three, four or five color Precon manabases are subpar with too many basic lands which makes color fixing from lands quite poor. On a budget there's several land upgrades to consider, replacing not just some basic lands, but other lands that always ETB tapped for lands that don't?

• Holdout Settlement --> 1x Mountain
• Survivors' Encampment --> 1x Island
• Shivan Reef --> 1x Mountain
• Karplusan Forest --> 1x Island
• Rockfall Vale --> Rugged Highlands
• Vineglimmer Snarl --> Thornwood Falls
• Game Trail --> Gruul Turf
• Path of Ancestry --> Swiftwater Cliffs

Holdout Settlement and Survivors' Encampment can tap Kalamax to make mana. This is important since relying only on tapping Kalamax because you attacked can be problematic because what if Kalamax can't attack?

Good luck with your deck.

Some land tech for the strategy Arena and Holdout Settlement

You can work some more tappers into your mana base with Holdout Settlement and Survivors' Encampment. Rhystic Deluge is another janky option no one thinks about. Honor-Worn Shaku is another mana rock tapper.

Cultivator's Caravan, Honor-Worn Shaku, Freed from the Real, Opposition, Survivors' Encampment, and Holdout Settlement will help you tap your commander.
