Hunting Wilds
Sorcery
Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.)
Search your library for up to two Forest cards and put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.
If this spell was kicked, untap all Forests put onto the battlefield this way. They become 3/3 green creatures with haste that are still lands.

The Progenitus Project.
8 months ago
I really dig your intention to focus on Progenitus as the win-con. Personally I would swap out some of the "goodstuff" and tune the list more toward getting Prog out early. If you play a dork T1, a 3-cmc rock that can generate 2 mana on later turns e.g. Coalition Relic/Component Pouch/the "__ of Ramos" rocks on T2, and follow those up with a couple more ramp pieces that create 2+ mana, you can consistently get Prog out on turn 5. Then T6 could be dedicated to giving him double strike/double power and +1 to his power so you can start taking out opponents. You also wouldn't need removal with a strategy like this since you can just remove the player that controls the worst threats.
Personally I would make these swaps:
Pyrohemia -> Utopia Sprawl (you'd ideally run fetch lands so that this will always have a target, e.g. Marsh Flats into Temple Garden)
Squall line -> Deathrite Shaman (also wants fetches to be effective)
Greenseeker -> Avacyn's Pilgrim
Vraska, Relic Seeker -> Elves of Deep Shadow
Sylvan Ranger -> Sakura-Tribe Scout
Curse of the Swine -> Skyshroud Ranger
Hull Breach -> Hunting Wilds (can find nonbasic forests like Stomping Ground)
Magus of the Mirror -> Skyshroud Claim
Pongify -> Dawn's Reflection
Rapid Hybridization -> Berserkers' Onslaught
Chaos Warp -> Firemind Vessel
Generous Gift -> Relic of Sauron
Path to Exile -> Prismatic Geoscope
Blasphemous Edict -> Timeless Lotus

$15 Manland Ramp

Hey TwentDoggo, glad you like the deck. Normally I wouldn't have trouble finding ways to upgrade my decks, but this one in particular is kind of inherently flawed in that there simply isn't much support for its plan. That said, there are some things you could do to make the deck more functional in general.
Probably the easiest upgrade you could make is include the Arbor Elf + Utopia Sprawl ramp package. These two make it possible to have four mana on turn two (turn 1 Arbor Elf, turn 2 Utopia Sprawl on an untapped Forest) which makes higher cmc ramp spells such as Hunting Wilds , Explosive Vegetation , and Nissa's Renewal more viable. It also makes the deck's combo turn come around much sooner since being able to make four mana off of one land gives you more untapped lands to attack with after casting Sylvan Awakening .
If you do this, you'll need to rework the deck a bit--this ramp plan is better with a lower land count, so Arboreal Grazer and Rites of Flourishing would be cut out, and since you have more mana early on you'll want to add some higher impact ramp spells (the aforementioned Hunting Wilds etc). You would also be able to play Rude Awakening , a card that I excluded from the original draft of the deck because 8 mana is a lot.
So these are the changes I'd make:
- -4 Arboreal Grazer , -4 Llanowar Elves , -2 Rites of Flourishing ; +4 Arbor Elf , +4 Utopia Sprawl , +2 Wolfwillow Haven
- -3 lands, -2 Nissa's Pilgrimage , -2 Harmonize ; +4 Hunting Wilds , +2 Rude Awakening , +1 Search for Tomorrow
- -4 Rampant Growth ; +4 Sakura-Tribe Elder
I'm not sure what you're budget is, but that's really the best you can do if you want to stick to the man land plan. I suppose you could also upgrade the mana base, but you can get by with all basics since you've got a lot of color fixing ramp spells.

Avenger of Zendikar (If you're going to spend big money for any card, make it this one!)
SynergyBuild on Ashaya is REAALLLLLY good

FRICK THOUGHT OF MORE:
Magus of the Candelabra (easy combo, all you need is any effect that taps for like a few more mana), Illusionist's Bracers with Arbor Elf or a bunch of other untappers. Nissa, Vital Force and Nissa, Vastwood Seer Flip are value from top to bottom.
Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger doubles your creature mana too now, and was pretty decent before at least ;)
Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, Ulvenwald Hydra, Oran-Rief Hydra, Molimo, Maro-Sorcerer, Baru, Fist of Krosa, Sylvan Advocate, etc. all let you convert Ashaya's text into damage, and lots of it.
Deserted Temple is sorta an untapper now xD, and Hunting Wilds and Rude Awakening got a lot more powerful.
Vesuva and Thespian's Stage are now mono-green Clones

+1 This is a great battlecruiser!
You already have the most important card, Chromatic Lantern . You might even run Trophy Mage just to tutor it.
You already have all the Tri Lands. That's great! I think those are super solid.
When I started, I had a 5-color, 60-card 4x Sliver Overlord deck from way-back-when that I converted to Commander. WUBRG was a struggle for Pauper! Instead of buying Fetch Lands, I first got all the Vivid Lands. Then I centered my Ramp package around Nature's Lore , Farseek , Skyshroud Claim , and Hunting Wilds ; I searched for Forest Battle Lands and Bicycle Lands before upgrading to Shock Lands. Murmuring Bosk is a hidden gem of a Forest Tri Land. Once I had a solid 12-14 Ramp like this, it became very consistent.
My favorite deck right now is my Karona/ Hugs/ Politics. It is mostly carried by Land Tax , but does very well with its janky mana base. Recently I won by exiling my library with Thought Lash and then casting Nexus of Fate over and over, and killing everyone with my 8/8 commander!
Fires of Invention is my favorite right now and it is worth considering in any 5-color and definitely goes in any Battlecruiser deck.
Buy a Smothering Tithe while the're still $8!!!
Run Sakura-Tribe Elder in almost every deck.
And how is Niv-Mizzet Reborn working for you? Another buddy of mine bought the Commander's Quarters Budget Version, but its a tricky deck. Niv seems best when you're dedicated to "color-pair tribal" because his "exactly those colors" clause is very restrictive. Have you considered Scion of the Ur-Dragon , The Ur-Dragon , Ramos, Dragon Engine , or Morophon, the Boundless ? Scion is the cheapest and the most fun, imo.
Besides that, it looks powerful! Maybe put Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon into The Mimeoplasm just because its more likely to 1-shot someone in that deck? Idk seems pretty sweet... Also, consider finding a card or a 2-card combo for all of your decks that can "win out of nowhere" so if someone locks down the board, you can work a miracle.

Yeah, those effects are usually green and reference land types, like forest/plains ect. There are a few that get generic "lands" but they are usually around the slot.
Best ones that I like to run are Nature's Lore , Farseek , Wood Elves , Skyshroud Claim , Tempt with Discovery , Hunting Wilds & Skyshroud Claim .
If you choose to run these effects, you need way more green in your mana base. A mulligan with a Nature's Lore in it wont help if you don't have a already in your hand. For that reason, leaning on the colorless artifact fixing like Commander's Sphere , Darksteel Ingot , and Fellwar Stone are probably more reliable.

Hunting Wilds is strictly better than Ranger's Path . It is very affordable too.

Horde of Notions - Elemental Tribal EDH

You may want to consider Angelic Renewal in this deck. The way it works with Evoke, you pay the Evoke cost, and by sacrificing Renewal, you get to keep the creature, as well as the ETB when returns to the battlefield. I've run the interaction in Pauper decks, and it's hilarious to do things like turn-2 Renewal, turn-3 Mulldrifter to draw 4 and get a 2/2 flier. You can do similar things by exiling the creature before it's sacrificed with Parallax Wave , Deadeye Navigator , Roon of the Hidden Realm , and Endless Sands . If you like that plan, I would include AEthersnipe and Walker of the Grove , too.
Also, if you're running Reveillark , you should probably be running Karmic Guide for the combo.
I'm also a little confused as to why you're not running Scapeshift in a Gates deck, especially one full of Landfall creatures. Other good land-fetch cards include Skyshroud Claim , Hunting Wilds , Ranger's Path , Wood Elves , Krosan Verge , Nature's Lore , and Karametra, God of Harvests , all of which fetch your Shocklands.
Path of Ancestry is fantastic in tribal decks, and it is an absolute staple in 5-color tribal decks.
This would also be a good deck for the Pickles Lock. Brine Elemental already plays to your theme, and you have multiple ways to tutor it. Vesuvan Shapeshifter is a clone at worst.
The final thing I would do is include some looting effects and self mill that won't put your Gates in the yard, since your commander wants expensive Elementals to reanimate. Kiora, Master of the Depths and Mulch could be good on the mill side, and Faithless Looting , Frantic Search , Greater Good (You can sac Evoked elementals in response to the trigger! Value!), Sultai Charm , and Chart a Course are all good for looting. Also, Surveil can help to fill the yard, as well. Try Notion Rain and Price of Fame (Good for killing Commanders!).
As for cuts, I would lose Brighthearth Banneret (land ramp is just better most of the time), Fertilid (7-mana Explosive Vegetation is bad, even if it has recursion), Rubblehulk (no ability, so it'll just get chumped for days. Run Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar if you want the land-count effect), and Tyrant of Discord (too expensive for a random effect).
Good luck!
