Hey, well done on a $50 budget. You have good card sense if you're new on such a low budget.

I will try to match my suggestions with cards to consider cutting that are close to or equal in price. Some changes to consider:

• Sol Ring --> Swords to Plowshares
• Arcane Signet --> Syphon Mind
• Arguel's Blood Fast  ^Flip --> Succumb to Temptation
• Sephara, Sky's Blade --> Seraph of the Scales
• Righteous Valkyrie --> Deathpact Angel
• Angelic Accord --> Promise of Bunrei
• Firja, Judge of Valor --> Luminous Angel
• Soul Warden --> Imperious Oligarch
• Victimize --> Defy Death
• Make a Stand --> Doom Blade
• Emerge Unscathed --> Cast Down
• Command Tower --> 1x Plains
• Caves of Koilos --> Temple of Silence
• Path of Ancestry --> 1x Plains
• Tainted Field --> 1x Plains
• Orzhov Basilica --> 1x Plains
• Opal Palace --> 1x Plains

Swords to Plowshares is the most expensive card here and you have many other removal spells to make up for not having it. Sol Ring is a staple mana rock in Commander and it's more ramp that can help to cast high CMC Angels. With Angels repeatable low mana cost ramp is more important then a single creature removal spell.

Good luck with your deck.

In order to idealize this a bit more, I would suggest altering your mana base. You have 10 lands that tap for colorless mana. This will definitely get in the way of casting your commander as soon as possible, as well as making it difficult to cast cards out of your hand. Arcane Lighthouse and Detection Tower are great in control decks, but not so much in aggro decks. For an aggro deck, the best removal is player removal. Forge of Heroes , Opal Palace , and Unstable Frontier aren't really that good either. You don't need your commander to be big since she's flying and probably won't die in most combat situations. I would suggest more dual lands, if you have them, or at least Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds . You won't have much fun if you can't cast your commander or any of the color heavy cards in your hand.

A hidden gem for Liesa is Opal Palace . It will progressively add more counters to Liesa each time you recast her which helps with recovering the life lost from her avoiding commander tax and makes her a scarier voltron threat.

Have you considered Forge of Heroes or Opal Palace ? Both of these lands can boost Gargos with +1/+1 counters.

Hey, nice version of Atla. Did you make the Atla alter? It's well done.

Two drop ramp especially Arcane Signet is good with Atla because they can potentially let you cast her turn two with Sol's help or turn three. Consider adding Arcane, Gruul Signet, Boros Signet and Selesnya Signet?

Two drop land ramp can also achieve this with Farseek, Nature's Lore and Three Visits. Cinder Glade, Canopy Vista, but also Sheltered Thicket, Scattered Groves are land upgrades for the manabase that these land ramp spells can search for. Being able to ramp with a dual land really helps color fixing.

Open the Armory is worth adding because it can tutor for Skullclamp, Greaves or Staff, important cards to have more access too. Some other land upgrades to consider are High Market, Opal Palace, Forge of Heroes, Exotic Orchard, Path of Ancestry, Battlefield Forge. Opal and Forge are to put a +1/+1 counter on Alta that way when you combo with Mirror Entity she doesn't die. Adding these lands especially Market makes Crop Rotation worth adding.

multimedia on Pirate Commander

Hey, having more low CMC Pirates who have the better evasion (flying or unblockable) can help to do combat damage to opponents to trigger Malcolm and Breeches.

• Spectral Sailor: mana sink for treasures to draw cards.
• Departed Deckhand: mana sink for treasures to make Pirates unblockable.
• Siren Stormtamer
• Warkite Marauder

Lightning-Rig Crew has great interaction with Malcolm to create treasures and Breeches to exile your opponents cards. Since Rig does damage to each opponent you create a number of treasures equal to the number of opponents you have or exile a card from each opponents library.

Sol Ring is a staple mana rock in Commander that can go in every deck you make. Having more repeatable draw is helpful in Commander and when one of your Commanders has flying then cards that let you draw when you do combat damage to an opponent are consistent options:

• Tandem Lookout: soulbond can change who it's paired with. Pair to Lightning-Rig Crew to draw a lot of cards since damage that is done by the paired creature doesn't have to be combat damage.
• Reconnaissance Mission
• Mask of Memory

Some budget lands to consider adding:

• Path of Ancestry
• Rogue's Passage
• Unclaimed Territory
• Ash Barrens
• Izzet Boilerworks
• Temple of Epiphany
• Opal Palace

Total at TCG Player: $9.86, see list

If this upgrade interests you then I offer more advice of what cards to consider cutting.

Good luck with your deck.

Krogania on Ich-Tekik, Golem Boi

I agree with the suggestion for Rebbec, Architect of Ascension or at least include her. In no particular order: They are reprinting Three Visits, which is strictly better than rampant growth. Nature's Lore is good too. Cavalier of Dawn can be used on your own artifacts. Guardian Idol is a good ramp card early and doubles as a Golem. Land Tax is rarely going to be worth it in a green land ramping deck. Maul Splicer is expensive, but trample is good evasion for decent sized golems. Sensor Splicer gives vigilance. Vital Splicer gives the ability to regenerate for 1. It's not great, but is another creature you can bounce for more golems. Ichor Wellspring is a great target for both self destruction and recursion, in case of opponents having no artifacts to destroy. Arcbound Reclaimer for ensuring you get a good draw. Ancient Stone Idol for a really big boi. Ancestral Statue can replay splicers or get rid of bad auras. Also you have a lot of stuff like myrsmith, palladium myr, and I think those might be better served by a couple more treasure/clue/food generation cards. Treasure Map  ^Flip, Prying Blade, or Tireless Tracker, Ulvenwald Mysteries, or Gilded Goose (replacing Avacyns pilgrim). Any decent equipment, but especially a Bloodforged Battle-Axe. Maul of the Skyclaves, Heirloom Blade. Swords are good. And as always: Lightning Greaves Swiftfoot Boots Skullclamp Running a bunch of basics is always cheaper, but if you have a couple of bucks consider the following mostly budget additions. Homeward Path Scattered Groves is cheap and fetchable. Gavony Township for more counters. Gingerbread Cabin for an artifact with your land. Krosan Verge/Myriad Landscapefor mana fixing ramp. Command Tower because it's better than a basic. Path of Ancestry because the splicers are all human. Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse/Fabled Passage Blighted Woodland Sungrass Prairie Opal Palace
