Budget per card?

Can you outline how your combos work specifically? I have a general idea but am a bit confused to be honest. I'm sure you're right, I just wanna learn and potentially utilize them in my own decks as well.

Kogla, the Titan Ape + Eternal Witness/Timeless Witness + Rude Awakening/Early Harvest

Sylvan Library - Synergy with top deck manipulation cards like courser, fetchlands. Most importantly, synergy with Abundance to draw 3 of your type of card without loss of life due to replacement effects.

Umbral Mantle - Might be worth considering for part of a combo line that I am unaware of at the moment. Same with Sword of the Paruns potentially.

Maze of Ith + Argothian Elder/Ley Weaver = Infinite mana during the combat phase (helix pinnacle can be a mana outlet, although I think it should be cut).

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild + Argothian Elder/Ley Weaver = Infinite mana

If you were to add Rings of Brighthearth, you could double up on activated abilities like your commander, fetches, thousand year elixir. Although not an entirely serious suggestion, it combos ...... Rings + Deserted Temple + Cradle/Nykthos = Infinite green mana

Nissa, Vital Force - Synergy with cradle, recursion, and it's ult is just one turn away.

@KBK7101 I was so incredibly hyped when this got leaked, I started building immediately. the new Titania meld Argoth, Sanctum of Nature + Titania, Voice of Gaea is interesting, but I'm not sure I would add the personally. I'm not leaning super hard into the mill part of Titania, Nature's Force's kit and the 2/2 bear isn't super enticing compared to the other ways I have of creating tokens. Unless I have some of the cards outlined above, it also removes a slot for a forest that can get triggers and be fetched out. Titania, Voice of Gaea  ^Meld I'm not considering, the 2 life on land graveyard isn't worth it imo, the only slot I can see swapping her into is Centaur Vinecrasher. Nissa, Vital Force was in my first iteration of my deck before some editing, and the only reason was because all of the planeswalkers are 5 CMC and one of them had to go. But she could easily swap in for one of them based on your preference, though I would personally swap her in for Nissa, Worldwaker. Awaken the Woods is a card I hadn't considered before just because I didn't realize that the tokens were actually forests. This changed so much with the card and makes it basically an auto include, I just need to figure out what I'm cutting for it.

Deck looks great! Fairly similar to a Titania deck I have, myself (this one is probably built better, though!). I dunno if it was because it was a Brother's War commander card or if spoiler season fatigue is finally getting to me, but I hadn't even seen this card (the new non-meld Titania) until a few days ago... and then pulled one from my Brother's War box! Love how similar to the original card it is but also how it's different enough to warrant a slightly different playstyle at the same time. I think I still prefer the original one for the flavor-to-gameplay aspect of it but this new one is reeeaaaally interesting.

Thoughts on Nissa, Vital Force? Or the new Awaken the Woods? Also, odds of adding in the new meld Titania and her Argoth land?

Hey I really appreciate the time taken for these suggestions! I know I could definitely cut some lands from here but the plan was to put as many lands in a deck as I could and have it run well. Most of the non-basic lands I have in here have a way to provide creatures or become them for defense in the early game. I would like to put more fetch lands in here, I am going to look into those.

This deck has been an ongoing project of mine and I have been tuning it a little over time, it is not something I would like to put a lot of money into. It's also one of my earliest decks I have built so it's far from perfect.

I tried not to put instants and sorceries that would only fetch one or two lands, I felt that it could be replaced with something that either gets more, or a permanent that helps out multiple times. That being said, it goes to show I am a huge fan of permanents and free things or stuff that gives you free things each turn. I am going to add Primal Surge to the sideboard and will get them to add for the next deck update.

I specifically try not to have instant win-cons in my decks as my group is very casual. Things like Laboratory Maniac, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, and Enter the Infinite would do just that. I am a fan of building up to something big and eventually ridiculous. Most of my decks are pretty susceptible to heavy control, but as I mentioned before we play casual.

I am also going to add Nissa, Vital Force, Zendikar's Roil, Tireless Provisioner, and Druid Class as these are perfect. I already have Avenger of Zendikar and The Mending of Dominaria in the deck. I also took out Retreat to Coralhelm because it did not really do enough for me.

There is already a insane amount of card draw and now that Aesi is the commander its even more. As it is I have milled myself out a couple of times with this deck and I am trying not to put too much more card draw.

This was a great help and gave me a lot of stuff to look at! I am very thankful of the time you took!

I definitely think you can spare to cut some lands, my own Omnath, Locus of Creation landfall deck only uses 39 (mind you, it has Wooded Foothills, Misty Rainforest and the like which give me extra landfall triggers). In their place I highly suggest some stuff like Roiling Regrowth, Harrow, Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, Rampant Growth, and Growth Spiral.

Other suggestions would be as follows and I made an effort to keep price in mind for all of these as best as I could: Sylvan Awakening, Primal Surge (since you have so many permanents could be used to great effect, and if used alongside cards like Laboratory Maniac, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and maybe even something like Enter the Infinite you could create a sudden win-con out of these. Remember also if you include some of my above suggestions which tutor for land those are helping ever so slightly thin out your deck for such a win con). More would include Nissa, Vital Force, Avenger of Zendikar, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, Ulvenwald Hydra,Zendikar's Roil, Ramunap Excavator, Hour of Promise (noticed you have quite a few deserts to have a chance at the bonus effect), Lotus Cobra, Tireless Provisioner, Blackblade Reforged, Druid Class, The Mending of Dominaria, Wilderness Reclamation, Reshape the Earth, Jaheira's Respite, Meloku the Clouded Mirror (let's you repeat all your landfall effects), Retreat to Coralhelm and Praetor's Counsel.

As for actual lands:

Simic Growth Chamber, Reliquary Tower, Myriad Landscape, Scavenger Grounds, and Endless Sands.

Oh and here's my Omnath list I mentioned if you want to give it a glance. I know some of the stuff featured in this is pricey, but it nonetheless may still give you some ideas for now, or otherwise for the future:

Hope this helps! If I had more time to spare currently I would suggest what you might cut for these things but that may have to wait for a while unfortunately. But I'll surely return to say more sometime!

Grind I've considered Nissa, Vital Force but I've found Garruk, Primal Hunter better, because with Nissa I have to risk waiting a turn to get the ult (basically leave her open to removal and creature attacks), while with Garruk I can simply use him immediately for a quick Soul's Majesty; his actual ult is just for blue moon situations. But thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated!

Cool deck!!!
Have you considered running Nissa, Vital Force? Her +1 protects her with a 5/5, and next turn you ult her and for the rest of the game, all your landfalls cantrip and your ramp cards cantrip. Soo good!!!
Cheers and have fun!

ultima333 +1 , double digits now! - Disagree with your decision to remove mirrorpool. Highly versatile tool that warrants it coming in tapped. It all depends on what you're going for though. I just like have 2x avengers, regal forces, genesis waves, e-wits, etc...

No Eldrazi Temple? I see you have some eldrazi, it couldn't hurt given you are already running eye of ugin.

Rude Awakening - Cradle + Temple + Temple Copy + Temple Copy or just with a bunch of tokens on board. While it does make cradle vulnerable, you will have created enough mana to have won by that point.

How does, if at all, staff of domination go infinite in this deck? Perhaps I'm missing it or its in here for value or you dont want combos. If you added rude awakening, then you would be able to go infinite by untaping cradle, the now creature for more mana than it costs to untap staff. Not to mention, its a last minute resort beatdown with so many lands. It acts as a ritual, albeit late game. Sorry I'm so hung up on it, I suppose it's my pet card. Anyways....

Sanctum of Ugin - To search for either kozilek for draw or ulamog for removal. I like to have green yavimaya + eldrazi temple + sanctum + eye of ugin (reduces by 2, taps itself b/c of yavimaya for 1) and cast all of dust, then searching for kozileks for refueling.

Castle Garenbrig - Cut a forest, ramp.

I would swap half your forest with snow covered to more easily trigger field of the dead.

Silklash Spider - Is this a meta call, patching up a potential weakness? Or is this just one of the threats you mentioned? Other potential swaps or cards in general to consider are...

Nissa, Vital Force - +1 --> Untap cradle, your thespians stage/vesuva that copied an opposing cabal coffers, etc..., -3 --> Recursion rarely hurts, given that 72% of your deck is permanent based. -6 --> You only need to wait 1 turn cycle before you get an ultimate that says you are the archenemy
