SufferFromEDHD Very cool deck! +1

Lotus Field and Lotus Vale can keep you deficient in land while providing colored mana and allowing you to continue ramping. Additionally, Arid Archway and Guildless Commons are similar and are great card advantage. All of these also work quite well with Deserted Temple.

Have you had a chance to play with Endless Horizons? I am curious to hear your experience with the card.

Thanks for the suggestions SufferFromEDHD!

I'm mono red player at heart, though I played lots for deck variety over the years. Red Akroma is truly a bomb once she goes off. Now regarding with your suggestions:

GambleGC - I'm actually considering this, but I only have one copy and its on my Jund Coram Deck.

Lotus Field / Lotus Vale - yup seriously considering it as a replacement for Gilded Lotus.

Arena of Glory - I'll probably get this over Flamekin Village

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx / Nyx Lotus - probably no since as you have said, I don't have many permanents with {R} in the deck.

I have been staring at this in my collection for years and have never thought of color shifted Akroma as the voltron bomb she rightfully is. This is A+ jank!

GambleGC always useful

Lotus Field/Lotus Vale "free" Gilded Lotus

Arena of Glory and/or Flamekin Village possibly maybe

Nyx Lotus and/or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx I'm not sure you are running enough permanents but the fire breathing synergy seems too good to pass up

Great deck. Same additional options for your Hazezon deck:

• Rootborn Defenses protects your board and creates addition tokens.
• Mercadia's Downfall is an interesting option for red token decks and your opponents don't see it coming.
• Knight of New Alara. As the sand warriors a three colors he is nearly an auto include for Hazezon
• Lotus Field feeds desert to your graveyard and with extra landdrops its also efficient
• Nahiri's Lithoforming reads like it was designed for Hazezon.
• Crop Rotation last but not least. And matching to the flavor text it can search Lotus Field. That joke alone jusifies both cards ;-)

I don't know if you have any of these cards lying around but most a budget and shoud be easy to get.

Y'all know what I mean, and y'all know how it goes!!

Bouncelands (Karoo, Guildless Commons, Arid Archway) and Lotus lands (Lotus Vale, Lotus Field) keep your land count low so you can catch up!

Thanks, I am not a huge fan of Cultivator Colossus mainly because it needs lands in hand to be useful (often 3+ to be comparable to Titan), and it also doesn't win the game on the spot, at a higher CMC than Primeval Titan, which often will.

If I wanted to avoid surgical more than I already do (Dryad + Analyst can already win on their own), I would probably add Scapeshift or Lumra, Bellow of the Woods back in, but I don't want to add back the second Lotus Field which enables the Scapeshift lines, and with only 1 lotus, lumra is like a colossus basically, really reliant on some outside factors to be good.

Analyst is slightly better mostly because it does its job from the grave, and can be used as ramp early then won with later. I would only run 1 of the graveyard creatures, with my minimalist package right now, and analyst just lines up better into hate and removal.

My honest opinion is, forget about Deserted Temple... there is just no scenario where it can net you mana, as previously explained.

Its ability LOOKS like it only costs {1} mana, but effectively costs {2}, since it is a land itself and you need to tap it for its ability (when instead you could tap it for mana).

Its real use, imho, would be to untap a land to benefit from a non-mana ability or, it you have like a Lotus Field brew and untap a land that taps for 3 mana, which WOULD be a net positive regarding total mana.

Ok, this was my first impulse here. I will take yet a closer look and possibly comment again soon. But my stance on Temple will remain, the math just doesn't check out and that's an objective observation.

Love a good spirit deck, and nice to see a new commander doing it!

I think you've got some great cards in there that probably don't work as well as you want them to. Luminous Angel is incredibly expensive for a 4/4 flyer that might generate 2-3 tokens. By the time you put it down that's just not a relevant amount. Oyobi, Who Split the Heavens Is in very much the same boat. Because it only happens on casting, it can at most happen 5 times, as that's the amount of spirits you have to cast (and you have no arcane spells). Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Is a fantastic card but can occasionally create friction at the table. I don't necessarily suggest that you cut it, but do consider it. It can easily create an environment where some people are unable to play their decks at all until it is delt with.

A bit of the same but Long-Forgotten Gohei definitely fits, but you only have 6 spirit spells and no arcane spells, so you're only using half of it. Etchings of the Chosen is the same price but has an extra ability. You may just want to run both though?

The first thing for additions are the token doublers. These will really help you capitalise on your commander as they will act upon each instance. So instead of casting Triplicate Spirits and getting a rather underwhelming 3, you instead get 6. Then at the end of turn you get another 6... only this is doubled as well, instead of 3, you get 18.Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Anointed Procession are the standouts here, although they are pretty pricy in real world dollars.

Overall though, I feel your ways of generating tokens is very on theme, but not very sustainable. A key thing that you might have missed is that your commander generate spirits for each tokens you make, not spirit tokens. So Collector's Vault, makes a treasure token, free spirit. You have a huge amount of ways to make tokens but a lot of them are humans or other some such (Call the Coppercoats, Martial Coup) so they may not be on brand. Look into ways you can make those one or two treasure / clue / food tokens as you just otherwise play normally.

A conspicuous absence is any of the Teysas. Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts is expensive but fun. Teysa, Opulent Oligarch is much cheaper and synergises VERY well with your commander. Teysa, Orzhov Scion requires a bit more of the black/white spirits, but might still work very well. Teysa Karlov doesn't synergise super well, but has good abilities regardless and certainly isn't a bad pick. The Kaya planeswalkers also often deal with white black spirits as well as having a bit of control so they might be good to look at Kaya the Inexorable being the standout.

another fun card that is changed entirely by your commander Afterlife Insurance and having any method of sacrificing your spirits changes it from just saving those spirits, to doubling their amount. It would go well with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, but that starts to lean more into aristocrats than pure spirit tokens.

Another thing is that a lot of white ramp works well with bounce or sac land, you've got the obvious one but you might be able to increase it with Lotus Field and Lotus Vale. Things like Land Tax is a staple for white, but even when you're just running Priest of the Blessed Graf they can help you make him work.

My final point is that you don't seem to have a good way of protecting your quite expensive commander. Your group might not place that big an emphasis on commanders, but it's more fun if she sticks around. There are the old standouts of Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots, but there are a lot of options.
