Hey ThatGrimGuy!

To be honest, you'd probably be fine with a Seasons Past or a Regrowth type of effect. Wrenn and Six is just particularly groovy because of the recurring value and the synergy with fetch and cycling lands, but a Regrowth type of spell won't really put you too far behind.

Happy to answer more questions!

Green/Black isn't great at protecting it's enchantments (that's kind of a White thing), but those colors are great at recursion! Cards such as Regrowth (there's a ton like this) or Eternal Witness / Greenwarden of Murasa can help there. Bonus that these cards can get back other cards as well, in case you don't need to get those enchantments back at the moment.

Hey, nice work in progress at upgrading the precon :)

I don't know what the meta you play in is like, but what I can give you is overall advice on how to upgrade the precon. What the precon needs is early game ramp, tutors, haste enablers for Ghired and repeatable protection for Ghired in combat so he can safely attack and populate. Rhinos are really the only threat you need as long as you can keep attacking with Ghired.

Cards within the budget to consider adding:

• Ramp: Birds of Paradise, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves
• Ramp: Smothering Tithe, Faeburrow Elder
• Ramp: Arcane Signet, Wild Growth
• Tutor: Eladamri's Call, Finale of Devastation, Worldly Tutor, Fierce Empath
• Tutor: Enlightened Tutor, Idyllic Tutor, Open the Armory
• Tutor: Crop Rotation, Sylvan Scrying
• Haste: Lightning Mauler, Ogre Battledriver, Hammer of Purphoros
• Repeatable Protection: Mother of Runes, Reconnaissance, Eldrazi Displacer
• Recursion: Eternal Witness, Regrowth
• Lands: Temple Garden, Stomping Ground, Brushland, Karplusan Forest, Grove of the Burnwillows, Rugged Prairie, Battlefield Forge
• Removal: Swords to Plowshares, Vandalblast, Cataclysm, Wrath of God, Beast Within, Generous Gift

A problem with the precon is the high avg. CMC which is 3.9. This number means that consistently four drops or higher CMC cards will be in your hand which is very slow. Early game you don't want lots of four or higher CMC cards in your hand because you will not be able to cast them. Adding low mana cost ramp by cutting high mana cost cards can help to reduce this number.

There's a lot of high CMC cards here, in fact there's 36 four or higher CMC cards which is too much. There's a lot of high CMC threats and I don't think you need all of them. Instead of playing so many high CMC threats replace some of them with tutors which can get you the better cards/threats into your hand.

---

To be more competitive I would expand on combos and use most of the high CMC card spots for more combo cards rather than big creature threats. You have done this some what already by adding Purphoros, Helm for Aurelia and Godo, but consider expanding further. Cards for combos to consider adding:

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
• Aggravated Assault
• Bear Umbra
• Sigarda's Aid
• Savage Ventmaw
• Zealous Conscripts
• Impact Tremors
• Gamble

Combos that go with these cards:

• Kiki + Helm + Purphoros or Tremors for infinite damage.
• Kiki + Conscripts infinite hasty token Conscripts to attack. Add Purphoros or Tremors for infinite damage.

Outside of combos Kiki is good with populate because he can make a token copy of a nonlegendary creature and if you populate the token then that token doesn't go away at end of the turn. Kiki combos with Helm for infinite Kikis since the token copy of Kiki that's created by Helm is not legendary which allows Kiki to copy it.

• Assault + Umbra + five lands for infinite combats.
• Assault + Ventmaw for infinite combats and infinite green or red mana.

More infinite combat combos is good with Ghired because his power comes from him attacking. Outside of the combos Assault is a good card with Ghired because it can give you more attacks which is more populate.

A problem with Helm in all the combos, even Godo, is it's slow because you have to pay the five mana cost to equip it. Aid is a one drop which is worth including for Helm and Selves.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, good start and budget version.

If you want to be quicker than consider reducing the avg. CMC? It's currently too high at 3.6. Reducing the avg. CMC makes it so you can play cards faster. In the case here getting more creatures onto the battlefield before Marisi. Consider more one/two/three drops creatures? One drop mana dorks are good with Marisi because they make ramp to help to cast him faster and they can also be attackers with or without cards that give evasion.

Creatures who are just attackers and don't do anything else are less good then others that can attack while also doing something else. In Commander you want the creatures you play to give you more value then just being a creature who can attack. The manabase can be much faster since all the dual lands you're playing always ETB tapped.

Some budget cards ($5 or less each) to consider adding:

Lands

• Command Tower
• Exotic Orchard
• Karplusan Forest
• Battlefield Forge
• Brushland

One drops

• Sol Ring
• Avacyn's Pilgrim
• Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves
• Mother of Runes: protection and evasion.
• Swords to Plowshares
• Rancor: trample.
• Sixth Sense: draw.

Two drops

• Eladamri's Call: creature tutor.
• Hushbringer: flying.
• Remorseful Cleric: flying.
• Loyal Apprentice: repeatable flying tokens.
• Mask of Memory: draw.
• Boros Charm: protection or double strike.
• Regrowth: recursion.
• Luminarch Ascension: repeatable flying tokens, can activate fast since looks at each opponents end step. If your opponents are not able to attack you then this makes it more likely that you will not lose life.

Three drops

• Spirit en-Dal: shadow or give another creature shadow.
• Aven Mindcensor: flying.
• Soltari Visionary: shadow.
• Champion of Lambholt: make all your creatures unblockable.
• Silverblade Paladin: double strike.
• Duelist's Heritage: double strike.
• Snake Umbra: draw.
• Beast Within and Generous Gift

More creatures with evasion and effects that can improve combat/attacking are cards to consider because you need to do combat damage to a player to goad that player. More creatures with flying and creatures with shadow is evasion to consider adding. Drawing cards with creatures who do combat damage to a player can be helpful to stay ahead. Double strike is a good ability for an attacking creature.

Shadow is a unique creature ability that makes the creature unblockable because your opponents are not going to have any creatures with shadow. Spirit en-Dal has shadow, but the reason to play it is to repeatedly reveal it from your hand at your upkeep to give a target creature shadow until end of turn. For two mana it can give Marisi shadow making him unblockable.

The manabase can be improved because there's a lot of subpar lands which will always ETB tapped. Dual lands that can ETB untapped can speed up game play letting you cast spells faster. Command Tower is a staple land for multicolored decks. There's a lot of basic lands in the manabase therefore consider adding others lands that have good interaction with basic lands?

Good luck with your deck.

Profet93 Nice recommendations, I appreciate you taking the time to look through and leave a comment!

Will definitely be including Karn, the Great Creator somewhere, I'll need to figure out where. You're right, definitely a great backup if Glissa can't make it out. Might go with Kenrith's Transformation, that's a great budget version of the Song of the Dryads you mentioned.

As for Bane of Progress, I completely agree. It's a much better inclusion than Creeping Corrosion and would be a great finisher if Lattice is out. I'm not sure if I see how Eternal Witness is a better choice than Regrowth. I know Witness is a fantastic card, no doubt there. But other than just being a creature I don't know if it takes the spot. (I'll admit, I just think Regrowth is a beautiful looking card).

Some potential cards. Most of these might be side-grades or out of budget but are worth noting in the Maybeboard. I have a few of these:

Ramp:

Creatures are obviously optimal, what with elf anthems and counters and stuff. I would try to squeeze in the first three if you can. The tempo of getting your commander down on turn 2 is amazing.

Fyndhorn Elves , Priest of Titania , Boreal Druid , Farhaven Elf , Leyline of Abundance , Castle Garenbrig , Llanowar Tribe , Overgrowth , Reap and Sow , Kodama's Reach , Explosive Vegetation , Nature's Lore , Ranger's Path , Skyshroud Claim , Grow from the Ashes , Emerald Medallion , Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip, Harrow , Circuitous Route

Utility:

Rishkar's Expertise , Soul's Majesty , Mirror Shield , Zendikar Resurgent , Primal Rage , Heroic Intervention , Return to Nature , Overwhelming Stampede , Overrun , Beastmaster Ascension , Loxodon Warhammer , Colossal Majesty , Rancor , Vivien, Champion of the Wilds , Blossoming Defense , Withstand Death , Titanic Brawl , Ancient Animus , Momentous Fall , Nature's Claim , Once and Future , Regrowth , Wildest Dreams , Road of Return , Creeping Corrosion , Season of Growth , Blanchwood Armor , Sandwurm Convergence , Garruk, Primal Hunter , Vivien Reid , Vivien of the Arkbow , Ghost Quarter ,

Aspect of Mongoose is nice but prevents untapping shenanigans with your commander.

Counters:

Some obvious out-of-budget stuff here and some lower-powered stuff too but I'll suggest them for posterity.

Llanowar Reborn , Karn's Bastion , Forge of Heroes , The Great Henge , Incubation Druid , Loyal Guardian , Tuskguard Captain , Pollenbright Druid , Solidarity of Heroes , Biogenic Upgrade , Durable Handicraft , Planewide Celebration , Courage in Crisis , Verdant Confluence , Bow of Nylea , Contagion Clasp , Contagion Engine , Hydra's Growth , Path of Discovery , Retreat to Kazandu , Forced Adaptation , Evolutionary Escalation , New Horizons , Nissa, Voice of Zendikar , Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter , Vivien, Arkbow Ranger , Kalonian Hydra , Arbor Armament , Stony Strength , Savage Summoning , Hunger of the Howlpack , Soul's Might , The Crowd Goes Wild , Armory of Iroas , Weapon Rack , Predatory Hunger , Primeval Bounty

I have a Drove of Elves I'm not using
