Well I think one thing to help with CMC problems is to have a stronger mana base. If she has the budget, I would consider all of the lands below.

• Esper Panorama
• Watery Grave (I notice you already have this one)
• Hallowed Fountain
• Godless Shrine
• Drowned Catacomb
• Glacial Fortress
• Isolated Chapel
• Darkslick Shores
• Seachrome Coast
• Concealed Courtyard
• Underground River
• Adarkar Wastes
• Caves of Koilos (Silent Clearing?)
• Sunken Ruins
• Mystic Gate
• Twilight Mire
• Polluted Delta (Budget: Bad River)
• Flooded Strand (Budget: Flood Plain)
• Marsh Flats
• Sea of Clouds
• Morphic Pool
• Vault of Champions
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Exotic Orchard
• Strip Mine/Wasteland
• Forbidden Orchard
• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
• Gemstone Mine

• Gemstone Caverns

• Ok sorry that was kind of a lot- but trust me, a good mana base makes a good commander deck and these kind of lands could help A TON. Arcane Signet is also really good and worth checking out! If this helps be sure to check out some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH and A Deal With the Devil EDH, I would deeply appreciate it! Anyways though, good luck on your deck, hope this helps, and both of you have a great day! Happy tapping!

Howdy there and nice deck! Here are some suggestions you might appreciate! I notice you have the shock lands and the check lands but I think your deck would perform a lot better with some extra stuff. Consider some of thee following!

• Fast Lands
• Seachrome Coast
• Razorverge Thicket

• Botanical Sanctum

• Dual Fetch Lands

• Flooded Strand
• Windswept Heath

• Misty Rainforest

• Filter Lands

• Mystic Gate
• Wooded Bastion

• Flooded Grove

• Pain/Horizon Lands

• Adarkar Wastes
• Brushland or Horizon Canopy

• Yavimaya Coast or Waterlogged Grove

• That said I personally believe your deck would perform MUCH better with these additions. The following work in any deck and all deserve a slot in your deck (in my opinion)

• City of Brass

• Ancient Tomb
• Mana Confluence
• Forbidden Orchard
• Exotic Orchard
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• Reflecting Pool
• Wasteland or Strip Mine
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns
• Cavern of Souls
• Possibly Ancient Ziggurat? Maybe too risky
• Unclaimed Territory
• Yavimaya Hollow
• Dryad Arbor

In the end, I would definitely consider all of these lands as they are very helpful and can help your journey go much much MUCH smoother, especially in commander! If this helps, be sure to check out some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH) among others! Upvote them if you like them and be sure to give me suggestions if you have any, I would appreciate it.

Nice deck and huge maybeboard! You know what the maybeboard is missing though?

Lands!

I would recommend some of the following!

• Port Town
• Irrigated Farmland
• Seachrome Coast
• Adarkar Wastes
• Flooded Strand cheaper version: Flood Plain
• Mystic Gate
• Sea of Clouds
• Skycloud Expanse
• Fabled Passage
• Prismatic Vista
• Ancient Tomb
• Exotic Orchard
• Reflecting Pool
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine

• Gemstone Caverns

• Maybe also consider Pearl Medallion, Sapphire Medallion, Land Tax, Lotus Petal, etc! Ramp is always helpful and every deck should have at least ten ramp spells. Rhystic Study, Counterspell, Swan Song, and Fierce Guardianship.

So in the end, I definitely would consider all of these cards. I know you're looking for other things, but each and every one of them will help make the process a much smoother journey. If this helps, be sure to check out some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH, Strictly Saprolings Please EDH, and many more! Anyways though, I hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day!

Hey there! I'm usually the land and ramp helping guy, and you wrote that is one of your issues, so here, I hope I'll be able to clear that up a little bit. Let's start off with lands.

I see shock lands, fetch lands, and of course horizon lands, along with a few stand alone multicolor lands. Not bad! Keep ALL the shocks, and keep ALL the fetches. Fetches can search for shocks and shocks are really good. Usually I like to recommend filter lands (like Mystic Gate) or fast lands (such as Seachrome Coast). Horizon lands are also some of my all time favorites, but playing four of magics colors can be quite tough. For three, four, and definitely five colors, I usually recommend more multicolor lands. Your average CMC is also quite high, so maybe 1-2 more lands would be pretty good if you think you can. That said, consider some of the following lands.

• Mana Confluence
• Ancient Tomb
• Forbidden Orchard
• Maybe Gemstone Mine
• Maybe Gemstone Caverns
• All black decks should also include Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
• Wasteland or Strip Mine?
• Tarnished Citadel
• Maybe Reflecting Pool?
• Now here's an interesting idea. Atraxa proliferates, so what if you based some lands around this as well? Things like Aether Hub, Mirrodin's Core, Tendo Ice Bridge, now suddenly can be used much more than once with Atraxa. Maybe worth a shot no?

So basically, consider much more things that can add a color of your choice, they give you much more options! The other lands are very good too, so you have to decide which one would be more beneficial in your opinion, though to me, I would cut Horizons and triomes for the ones I mentioned.

That said, let's move on to some ramp! Arcane Signet, Chromatic Lantern, and Sol Ring are pretty good, but I might have some you find better. Green is amazing for ramp, so by adding amazing green ramp spells, not only are you now getting the best ramp options, but also you are evening out the color pi for your deck! Consider some of the following

• Birds of Paradise
• Burgeoning
• Exploration
• Nature's Lore
• Three Visits
• Bloom Tender (It taps for FOUR mana with your commander out!)
• Lotus Petal
• Noble Hierarch
• The Medallions, Emerald Medallion, Pearl Medallion, Jet Medallion, and Sapphire Medallion
• Land Tax

• Oracle of Mul Daya

• These are all so AMAZING. There's also the fact that charge counters can work for ramp too. Astral Cornucopia, Shrine of Boundless Growth, Coalition Relic, etc. I;m sure there's a lot I'm missing, so you may want to look into charge (or Other) counter ramp.

• In the end, I would pretty much consider some more multicolor lands like City of Brass, lands that work with proliferate, some more green ramp like I mentioned, and maybe some ramp that works with Atraxa's Proliferate ability as well! If you find any of this helpful be sure to check out, upvote, and give me suggestions on some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH, The x Files EDH, and many more! Anyways though, I hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day!!! Happy tapping!

Hey! Maybe consider some land upgrades? Having a budget like that but still having tap lands doesn't really work out XD. Maybe consider some of these:

• Mystic Gate
• Hallowed Fountain
• Seachrome Coast
• Adarkar Wastes
• Flooded Strand
• Nimbus Maze
• Sea of Clouds
• Tundra
• City of Brass
• Ancient Tomb
• Mana Confluence
• Prismatic Vista
• Reflecting Pool
• Command Tower
• Exotic Orchard
• Wasteland
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns
• Tarnished Citadel

Good lands can help a deck out a LOT and these are some of the most useful ones that fit in your deck. I would consider each and every one of them, and I promise your deck will perform MUCH better! If this helps be sure to check out and upvote some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH), and give me suggestions if you have any! Anyways, hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day!

Hey there! No problem, and you have definitely come to the right place! Here are some types of lands that I personally think should have a spot in every deck, and some multi-colored lands that work anywhere and everywhere! I hope this helps you throughout your journey in the world of magic.

• Types of Lands:

• Shock Lands

• These lands say when [cardname] enters the battlefield you either take two, or have it enter tapped, which I am sure you are familiar with.

• Watery Grave, Blood Crypt, Temple Garden, Breeding Pool, Hallowed Fountain, Stomping Ground, Sacred Foundry, Overgrown Tomb, Steam Vents and Godless Shrine

• Check Lands

• These are lands that say, [cardname] enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a [land type] or [land type]. These aren't always that good in my opinion, but if you need a cheaper option they are MUCH better than guildgates, etc.

• Glacial Fortress, Drowned Catacomb, Woodland Cemetery, Dragonskull Summit, Isolated Chapel, Rootbound Crag, Sunpetal Grove, Hinterland Harbor, Sulfur Falls, and Clifftop Retreat

• Filter Lands

• Similar to the signets, these lands can be extremely useful when you have one color, and need the other. They are also a lot cheaper as they just got reprinted in Double Masters

• Wooded Bastion, Sunken Ruins, Mystic Gate, Flooded Grove, Rugged Prairie, Graven Cairns, Fire-Lit Thicket, Fetid Heath, Twilight Mire, Cascade Bluffs

• Fast Lands

• Some of my personal favorites, these lands can be untapped unless you have 4+ lands, and are very helpful at the start of the game

• Seachrome Coast, Razorverge Thicket, Botanical Sanctum, Copperline Gorge, Blackcleave Cliffs, Darkslick Shores, Blooming Marsh, Concealed Courtyard, Spirebluff Canal, Inspiring Vantage

• Pain Lands

• These are by far some of the best, as you always know you can get mana from them, without worrying they might be tapped, or untapped, or something like that.

• Adarkar Wastes, Underground River, Sulfurous Springs, Karplusan Forest, Brushland, Caves of Koilos, Llanowar Wastes, Yavimaya Coast, Shivan Reef, Battlefield Forge

• Horizon Lands

• The better version of pain lands- but they are not printed in every color combination. However when you can, cut your pain lands for these!

• Horizon Canopy, Silent Clearing, Nurturing Peatland, Waterlogged Grove, Fiery Islet, Sunbaked Canyon

• Fetch Lands

• There are also the beloved fetch lands, which can even search for shock lands, proving to be very useful in many situations!

• Flooded Strand, Bloodstained Mire, Windswept Heath, Wooded Foothills, Polluted Delta, Misty Rainforest, Marsh Flats, Verdant Catacombs, Arid Mesa, Scalding Tarn

• Battlebond Lands

• These are EXTREMELY useful if you have multiple opponents, as they come at no extra cost. However like the Horizon lands, they are not available in every color.
• Sea of Clouds, Morphic Pool, Luxury Suite, Spire Garden, Bountiful Promenade

These dual lands are some of the best, and my favorites, though there are many more people enjoy playing, such as bounce ladnds (Dimir Aqueduct), Battle Lands (Sunken Hollow), Reveal Lands, (Port Town), Cycle Lands (Irrigated Farmland), Storage Lands (Calciform Pools) and many others, but usually you don't have this many spaces in your deck, and so the ones I named first are usually better. However, I'm not done! There are many multicolor lands that fit in any deck, that are extremely powerful! Some of them are listed below.

• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• Ancient Tomb
• Exotic Orchard
• Command Tower
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns
• Command Tower
• Maze of Ith
• Strip Mine
• Wasteland
• Tarnished Citadel

• Meteor Crater

• Etc. There are many more like this but as before, the ones above are definitely the best, and most of them deserve a spot in every deck! Some specific deck themes have their own versions of these lands, like for Artifact decks you might play Glimmervoid and for Creature decks you might play Ancient Ziggurat. Usually, when I deckbuild i go to EDHREC, which has amazing suggestions and synergies for EVERY commander, and even for specific archetypes and colors- lands among them! For these speciifc themes you can find the lands you need there (along with many other cards too) but everything I named above I recommend playing in the meantime! I hope this helps you in your future decks, thanks for reaching out, good luck, and have a great day!
