Great commander. Solid build. What kind of suggestions are you looking for? For starters, I think you could clean up the mana base a little bit and still stay in budget. Other than tri-lands, tapped lands are kind of lame.

Reflecting Pool - a little pricy.

Savai Triome - a little pricy.

Lowlife lands are an option, like Raucous Carnival

Verge lands are worth considering. Example: Bleachbone Verge

Fetch Lands are best next to duals to be honest. Sacred Foundry

Slow Lands are great, too. Easy prices. Example: Shattered Sanctum

Most people don't like pain lands, but they are better than waiting a turn to use what you have. Example: Caves of Koilos.

Check lands are a great price. Example: Dragonskull Summit

Filter lands aren't great, but good, too. Example: Rugged Prairie

Battlebond's are pricy, but don't break the bank. Example: Spectator Seating

In Commander, speed is king. 1+ from me. You just need a little more speed.

Only in this deck I decided not to run Reflecting Pool. I run it in others. I had The Immortal Sun in previously and cut it. I need all of the tri-color lands I can get in this deck. That's why I chose to purposefully leave out Otawara, Soaring City.

The Reflecting Pool hate has gotta stop! Haha

Otawara, Soaring City I know it doesn't exile but it can't be countered by traditional methods.

Your thoughts on The Immortal Sun? You aren't running planeswalkers neither should your opponents ;)

How much money are you willing/able to spend? A five color mana base can get expensive fast. Command Tower and Arcane Signet are pretty much everywhere, and they're reasonably affordable. City of Brass, Mana Confluence, and Reflecting Pool are some higher-end options, and fetch lands + triomes are good too. If you want some lower-budget options, look to cards like Rupture Spire, Vivid Crag, Survivors' Encampment, or Mirrodin's Core--keep in mind that what you save in money, you lose in speed and efficiency, so if you want the "best" land base, be ready to shell out several hundred dollars.

As far as bracketing, the guidelines are being modified right now. I would put this as lower Bracket 3, with two game changers. I don't see any fast combos that can win a match around turn 3, and it's not ridiculously oppressive and stax-y.

As another card suggestion, Fist of Suns gives your commander some redundancy, and Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender, and the Hierarchs (Noble and Ignoble) would give you some more early-game options.

Reflecting Pool would be a solid land to run.

Exiling all but the bottom card of target player's library is crazy!

I know that this is more of a budget build, but I would still recommend beefing up the lands a little. Reflecting Pool would be great. The rest of the deck looks promising. what are your hopes for this build? Have you play tested it yet?

Here are some great duals that aren’t crazy expensive.

Filters

Ferrous Lake

Darkwater Catacombs

Shadowblood Ridge

Battle Lands - maybe a little money involved.

Training Center

Morphic Pool

Luxury Suite

Verge Lands - a little pricey, but not outrageous.

Riverpyre Verge

Gloomlake Verge

Blazemire Verge

Scry Lands - if they are going to come in tapped, gain something from it.

Temple of Epiphany

Temple of Malice

Temple of Deceit

There are also three Tri Lands that are great for a come in tapped land. All three colors, under a quarter. If it is coming in tapped, get something more out of it.

Crypt of the Eternals

Crumbling Necropolis

Xander's Lounge – I lied, this one is a little more than $5.

Looks good. Strong mana base. what about Reflecting Pool?

I would also cut all of the lands that enter tapped and replace them with things like Reflecting Pool. Tapped lands aren't worth it when you are wanting to be more of an early game player.
