Simic small ramp, psudo-suspend, value engine. Fairly Budget @ around $140.

The goal is to exile many cards at once with Alaundo's ability, eventually creating a constant 4-7 card assembly line of psudo-suspended cards, and drop big bombs that people can see coming but can do very little about. Always keep Alaundo safe, and stack up as many untap effects as you can. Keep most instants for your hand as you draw them and nearly everything else can be added to the exile train.

Caveats/rules about Alaundo:

• Alaundo does not actually suspend cards, so they do not tick down as normal on your upkeep, unless the card already has suspend printed on it.
• Alaundo's ability does not tick down the card that is put into exile as the ability is being activated. It only affects the other cards already in exile with time counters.
• Some cards with suspend have abilities that activate when time counters are removed. These still work using Alaundo's ability, usually with more effect when put into exile via Alaundo.
• Do not use Alaundo's ability on lands/0 mana cost suspend cards, they will be lost forever as no time counter is put on to remove later. I do not recommend top-decking with Alaundo's ability.
• There are cards that continuously suspend, cast, and then resuspend. These are some of the most important cards as you may be able to cast them twice in a turn once the engine is going.
• Creatures cast out of suspend have haste.
• Non-instant spells may be cast on opponents turns if time counters are removed via Alaundo's ability.
• Cards coming out of suspend can still be countered. They are only cast without paying their mana cost, nothing more.
• Drannith Magistrate.

Turns 1-3 find ways to either ramp or get untappers enabled. Generally, get Alaundo out as soon as you can with protection available for a turn. Enchantments like Abundance, Archmage Ascention, Wilderness Reclemation, Freed from Real, Quest for Renewal, and any untapper creatures are the ideal setup. Top end untappers include Chakram Retriever, Tolarian Kraken, Freed from Real, Murkfiend Liege. With some added untap effect every turn, multiple 6-7 drops can be strung out for total mana cost of ~7 mana to cast all of them.

Tweaking of this deck may require more protection, can remove proliferate and plainswalkers, but bring more top end wincons.
