Argothian Enchantress, Hanna, Ship's Navigator, and Archon of Sun's Grace would fit well in here.

Also, I always recommend cutting Temple of the False God. It's just not good enough and can easily result in a dead land drop early game.

Hey, thanks for the additional info.

For causal upgrades my advice is add cards that give you repeatable value; either draw, artifact tokens or pump for tokens. Cards in the original precon to consider adding:

• Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer could replace Temple of the False God.
• Loyal Apprentice could replace Catalog.

Other changes to consider:

• Treasure Mage could replace Broken Concentration.
• Bident of Thassa could replace Coveted Jewel.
• Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain could replace Darksteel Juggernaut.
• The Antiquities War could replace Dreamstone Hedron.
• Steel Overseer could replace Sin Prodder.
• Saheeli, Sublime Artificer could replace Colossus of Akros.
• Everflowing Chalice could replace Worn Powerstone.
• Stoic Rebuttal could replace Silumgar's Scorn.
• Spire of Industry could replace Highland Lake.
• Comet Storm could replace Volcanic Geyser.

Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer is a strong casual card with artifacts. It creates a Myr at your combat step then all token creatures you control can become any token creature you control. You can make all Thopters/Servos into Myrs for a huge Myr Battlesphere attack or make all Myrs/Servos into Thopters for a big flying army attack with Sharding Sphinx to double your army after combat damage.

Temple of the False God is not a good land for your deck because you can't tap it to make mana until your fifth turn at the earliest. It's not worth playing because of this and honestly it's not worth playing in any deck, but that's another discussion.

Sin Prodder can be repeatable draw, but more times than not an opponent will take the damage and have you put the card into your graveyard which is not helping you. Steel Overseer has great interaction with artifact tokens especially Thopters. It also has good interaction with Unwinding Clock letting you on everyone's turn put a counter on all your artifact tokens.

For control you've added three very good counterspells (Counterspell, Swan Song and Negate). Broken Concentration and Silumgar's Scorn don't compare to these other counterspells, that's why you should consider cutting them. Stoic Rebuttal because of the artifact theme activating metalcraft is good enough to add. Instead of more control, focus on your artifact game plan with Saheeli?

Hey, well done for your first deck from scratch.

Some cards within the current budget to consider adding:

• Command Tower: one of the best lands for multicolored decks in Commander.
• Buried Alive: best budget way to tutor for and get Worldgorger into your graveyard.
• Bogardan Hellkite: win condition Dragon with Worldgorger combo.
• Open the Armory: can be an early game tutor for Lightning Greaves for Kaalia or later on for Animate Dead.
• Rune-Scarred Demon: Mystery Booster version, Demon to tutor for any card.
• Faithless Looting: double way to discard Worldgorger if it's stuck in your hand or if you draw it.
• Wishclaw Talisman: use it to tutor for the last piece of the Worldgorger combo for one mana the turn you want to combo.
• Swiftfoot Boots: more protection/haste for Kaalia.
• Fellwar Stone
• Talisman of Conviction
• Exotic Orchard
• Caves of Koilos
• Rugged Prairie
• Dragonskull Summit
• Ash Barrens

Could add all these cards for about $26.

Cards to consider cutting:

• Temple of the False God
• Shimmering Grotto
• Vivid Crag
• Temple of Triumph
• Wind-Scarred Crag
• Star Compass
• Artful Maneuver
• Curse of Fool's Wisdom
• Angelic Chorus
• Mirror of the Forebears
• Desecration Demon
• Angelic Skirmisher
• Akroma, Angel of Fury
• Fiery Emancipation

---

Worldgorger Dragon is a tricky combo to assemble because Worldgorger needs to be in your graveyard to reanimate it with Animate Dead. You don't want to ever cast it from hand or cheat it onto the battlefield with Kaalia. Sneak Attack cheating it on the battlefield is fine because then it will end up in your graveyard and you get your permanents back. You want to get Worldgorger into your graveyard and the best budget card that can do that is Buried Alive.

Currently here Angel of Despair is the easy win condition with the Worldgorger combo by destroying all your opponents permanents. But what happens if Despair is disrupted or exiled? Kaalia, Zenith Seeker can be a more complex enabler with the combo needing haste for all the creatures you put into your hand and get onto the battlefield. Bogardan Hellkite can be another easy, even truer, win condition with the combo because it does damage to each player each time it ETB which will be infinite damage with the combo.

Good luck with your deck.

Peoni on Aurelia's Budget Battalion

Helm of the Host goes infinite with your commander and Godo, Bandit Warlord. I know your goal is a budget deck but $10 isn't too bad for a centerpiece win condition in the grand scheme of things. I'll try to keep further recommendations budgeted though. :^)

I'd also recommend replacing a lot of your lands that come in tapped. Lands like Command Tower, Temple of the False God, Slayers' Stronghold, Rugged Prairie, and Clifftop Retreat can all come in untapped and are pretty budget options (some more than others). If those are still outside of what you're willing to spend I'd recommend just using basics instead. Generally speaking you just really don't want your lands coming in tapped.

I'd also advise you to add in more mana rocks like Sol Ring, Talisman of Conviction, Everflowing Chalice, Prismatic Lens, and Mind Stone. You also don't want your rocks to be coming in untapped, so I'd suggest you replace Guardian Idol and Star Compass with some of the rocks listed, and you could probably do the same with Traveler's Amulet and Wanderer's Twig.

Your deck is fun and fair as it is. I like it. :^) I just thought I'd try and help fix up your mana base all nice. Hope this helps!

I'd recommend Field of the Dead, Expedition Map, Blast Zone and Temple of the False God

Rhystic Study might be more impactful in a game than Phyrexian Arena. Grim Tutor might be a bit better than Beseech, but that's a small improvement.

Does Temple of the False God really work out that well in this deck? I feel like it'd be a struggle to get to 6 lands in Esper in cEDH, and at 30 lands it seems very unlikely unless I'm missing something. YMMV, but I'd consider Esper Panorama or maybe a dual with white in it like Skycloud Expanse?

So, Divine Sacrament doesn't quite do much for the deck, as the lack of creatures and ways to fill the graveyard cause it to add a little power to the board. I would just add Rest in Peace for disrupting the opponents.

Forenamed was the lack of creatures. Answered Prayers won't actually gain you that much life over the course of a match, thence I would cut it for Morose Machine.

Emerge Unscathed, Gods Willing, and Brave the Elements are fine spells. They are a solid one-for-one, but they act best in decks that can draw lots of cards. Mono-White cannot do that, so things that trade with the opponents don't cut it. Lightning Greaves continuously protects, Fractured Powerstone accelerates your game plan, and Enlightened Tutor is fantastic utility.

Loxodon Lifechanter probably isn't going to do that much in terms of gaining life, and six mana is a lot to get chump-blocked. Kill it for Kor Cartographer.

So, this deck is one that wishes to constantly hit land drops. You virtually have 35 lands accounting for Maze of Ith. I'd remove Mass Calcify due to its lack of utility for Seraph Sanctuary.

Anent being bereft of many lands, Temple of the False God is oft a dead card. It is only active if you are serendipitous enough to hit five lands without having much card draw. Scavenger Grounds hits the graveyards as a bonus to just being a lovely land.

Lastly, a Plains could be a Kor Haven, for it defends and produces mana.

That shall be all from me. May fortune betide!
