Hello fellow Wyleth, Soul of Card Draw player!

I'm glad you got both Wyleth's and Aesi's precons for a good price. They are reeeeally explosive in gameplay with a few upgrades.

I play a lot of this bad boy, and I want to suggest some swaps below 3 USD for you to take it to a higher ground:

First of all, the ramp. I found out that 2 CMC, untapped ramp is the best for Wyleth. Since he draws so many cards, he can chain rocks and voltron pieces in the same turn, so his next turn is even more explosive than the last one. I almost always have more mana than the Green decks in my pod.

You should run boardwipes that hits your stuff the least:

Also, you can streamline your removal package. All of those are fetchable by Sunforger:

More/better auras and equipment

Cheating equip costs

If you really need to protect yourself against attacks, Ghostly Prison is a way better Palace Guard.

More utility lands

I run Cliffhaven Kitesail and Eldrazi Monument. Obviously it isn't always better than Skinwing, but I like keeping the mana curve as low as possible. Maul of the Skyclaves is fairly comparable to Skinwing. There's also Dolmen Gate, Iroas, God of Victory and Reconnaissance, which don't give evasion, but do protect your attacking creatures.

Blazing Shoal and Shining Shoal would be cool tech for this strategy.

As for cuts:

Volcanic Salvo big CMC is useful but the card is lackluster. Greater Gargadon and Heroes Remembered are at least neat exile tech (especially with the Shoals I just suggested)

Emeria's Call  Flip the tokens are useless to this strategy and there are cheaper ways to grant indestructible.

Loxodon Warhammer and Maul of the Skyclaves for the 2 Swords I suggested. All your other equipment serve a clear purpose.

Steel Seraph is this just swiss army knife value? Angelfire Ignition at least exiles for a trigger. I'd swap Semblance Anvil for the Seraph unless I'm missing something.

Torbran, Thane of Red Fell great card but I don't see it as being degenerate in this strategy. Jester's Cap can ruin the combo opponent or at the very least use other people's high CMC to feed Bell Borca.

Some thoughts:

  • Urza's Saga has no place here - the only artifact it can grab is Aether Vial... and getting Vial down on turn 4 is pretty useless.

  • You have 5 Leonin Arbiter in this deck (1 mainboard and 4 sideboard) - your deck can only have 4 of any card total. Personally i'd move the Arbiter into the mainboard and ditch Aven Mindcensor entirely, as that's a much slower/clumsier card.

  • 19 lands is waaay too low for a Taxes deck. You want to be running at least 23 lands imo - especially with your quantity of 3-drops. In particular for your land choices, you'll find Blast Zone does nothing for you in almost all games, and really you should be running much higher quantities of Ghost Quarter and Field of Ruin so that you can make the most of Leonin Arbiter.

  • If you're unable to run at least 3 Stoneforge Mystic for budget reasons, then i'd say its better to run none. The artifacts they're meant to search for are more likely to trip you up than help you with such a low number (Kaldra Compleat is never getting into play in this deck). Even if you manage to get 3-4 Stoneforge Mystic into the deck, I wouldn't suggest running more than a single copy of Kaldra Compleat or Maul of the Skyclaves - These cards are awesome when you can grab them with Mystic then cheat them in, but pretty terrible if you draw them naturally. You want these to be "toolbox" options for Mystic, and limit their quantity.

  • Personally I'd ditch Cloudsteel Kirin... it's just too likely to be a liability and do-nothing card. Maybe its worth a sideboard slot at-best.

  • There's no point running Spellskite when you could just be running the full playset of Giver of Runes

  • really try to find room for that 4th Aether Vial!

I don't understand all of the equipment choices, but Arc Spitter seems really bad. If you want to make your creatures hard to block, there are far better ways: Cliffhaven Kitesail and Maul of the Skyclaves are two cards that immediately come to mind.

Also if you're already doing tap/untap shenanigans, why not run the Pili-Pala + Careful Cultivation combo. You already have some infinite mana outlets like Walking Ballista.

I don't like Bane of Progress in this list when you have so many key pieces that you don't want to destroy. Better just playing Heliod's Intervention.

If you wanted you can also go the affinity agro side of this with cards like Signal Pest and Steel Overseer and Frogmite then the knight might work out better. Didnt see the artifact typing.

Or leaning more into equipment like Lion Sash or Maul of the Skyclaves could be helpful.

Where to find room with your game winning plan is the problem. Removal like prismatic ending. I see the rest in peace in sideboard but with the current meta landscape I'd suggest 3 lion sash main board. This will help vs murktide and living end almost never a dead card. I do not know how to beat t1 ragavan on the draw with this though. You have enough 1 and 2 drops to be fine after t1. But not quite enough 1 drops / 1 cmc removals to consistently kill it and it takes games practically on its own.

This is just a few ideas. A few are expensive a few cheap. Happy brewing.
