There's a thing I do to improve my understanding of decks: I scroll down the list, stopping right before the commander, and then I try guessing who's the commander. Yours was pretty obvious either Tatyova or Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait . So as much as it might be evaluated as a "pile", it's streamlined in what it does, that's a good thing. I do play an Archelos, Lagoon Mystic list that's somewhat similar, so I see the power level here. Are you interested in an infinite combo that's super-cheap to include here? Try out Sakura-Tribe Scout / Llanowar Scout / the new lizard person from AFR and Retreat to Coralhelm / Tideforce Elemental and a way to bounce lands ( Simic Growth Chamber ?)

Hey, well done so far with a budget upgrade of the precon.

Meloku the Clouded Mirror would be good here because it can be a repeatable source of tokens for Twincasters as well as a landfall enabler. Pair Meloku with Kodama of the East Tree + a basic land for infinite 1/1 Illusions and infinite landfall at instant speed. Tap a basic land to pay to activate Meloku to return that basic land to your hand and create a 1/1 Illusion token that triggers Kodama. Put that basic land from hand onto the battlefield, tap it to activate Meloku and repeat. When the basic land returns to your hand from Meloku it's a new object that has no connection to the basic land that was previously on the battlefield thus Kodama doesn't recognize it as being put onto the battlefield with it's ability.

Kodama also combos with Rampaging Baloths + Simic Growth Chamber as the land enabler for infinite landfall for infinite 4/4 Beasts since Chamber can return itself back to your hand and Kodama can put it back onto the battlefield to repeat. Fierce Empath can search for Kodama or Rampaging and it's a creature to make a token copy of. Add Garruk's Uprising for a draw engine as well as trample source.

---

Champion of Lambholt cares about +1/+1 counters and she triggers whenever a creature token is created. She can get big quick which makes all creatures you control unblockable. Pair Lambholt with Spawnwrithe + Twincasters to make an out of control army of Spawnwrithes who when each does combat damage to an opponent makes two copies of itself which grows Lambholt. Giant Adephage could replace Spawnwrithe since they do the same thing just one is three mana and other is seven mana. Add Curiosity Crafter or Reconnaissance Mission for a draw engine.

Tireless Provisioner is a repeatable source of treasures making it good repeatable ramp since it has interaction with Twincasters. Mimic Vat is powerful repeatable token source in multiplayer Commander since you can imprint an opponent's creature who dies, but sadly the additional token that Twincaster makes also gets exiled.

---

Cackling Counterpart is an instant to create a token of a creature you control. Mystic Reflection can create many copies of a nonlegendary creature of your choice when a creature or many creatures at the same time ETB. Double Major can make a token copy of a creature if you cast it while that creature spell is on the stack.

Risen Reef is a creature you want to make a token copy of because each Risen triggers itself as well as all other Risens you control. With Twincasters and one Risen in your control, if you make a token copy of Risen then you get six Risen triggers since both token copies ETB at the same time and see each other. Each token sees each other when they ETB which is four triggers and each token Risen also triggers Risen already on the battlefield for two more triggers for a total of six Risen triggers.

If interested in any of these suggestions then I offer more advice including cuts to consider. Good luck with your deck.

multimedia on Atraxa = Counter Deck?

Hey, nice job upgrading the precon on a budget. You've definitely done some research into good cards for +1/+1 counters.

Command Tower , Exotic Orchard are staple budget rainbow lands for multicolored decks in Commander. Path of Ancestry is a staple budget rainbow land for four or five colors or tribal. Opal Palace is good with Atraxa to cast her with it to put a +1/+1 counter on her so she can proliferate herself.

33 lands is low for a budget manabase. Consider adding 3 more Forest basic lands for 36 lands? Green is the primary color here and you don't have enough of it in the manabase. More Forests will help Sunpetal Grove and Woodland Cemetery . More basic lands means Prairie Stream and Canopy Vista can be added since they have interaction and can be search for with Farseek to improve ramp with color fixing.

The four Bounce lands ( Simic Growth Chamber ) are not good/too slow with your current manabase because there's too many lands that will always ETB (enter the battlefield) tapped especially the Vivid lands. Consider cutting the four Bounce lands? To help gameplay the Vivid lands, Tri lands, Oran-Rief, the Vastwood and Path of Ancestry can be the only lands that always ETB tapped; that's 10 lands. The rest of the lands in the manabase could ETB untapped.

The budget Pain lands: Yavimaya Coast , Llanowar Wastes and Caves of Koilos ETB untapped and losing 1 life to tap for colored mana is nothing in 40 life Commander especially since Atraxa has lifelink.

---

Some manabase budget changes to consider:

• Add 3x more Forests
• 1x more Forest --> Selesnya Sanctuary
• 1x more Plains --> Azorius Chancery
• Command Tower --> Golgari Rot Farm
• Exotic Orchard --> Simic Growth Chamber
• Path of Ancestry --> Myriad Landscape
• Opal Palace --> Lonely Sandbar
• Llanowar Wastes --> Llanowar Reborn
• Yavimaya Coast --> Temple of Mystery
• Caves of Koilos --> Quandrix Campus
• Prairie Stream --> Lumbering Falls
• Canopy Vista --> Sungrass Prairie

Good luck with your deck.
