It's Been a While —May 24, 2018
Hi everyone! It's been a while since I touched up on Grix and Stones here. This is one of the decks I built for real and I played it just last night. The thing I learned......
THIS DECK WAS VULNERABLE
The biggest problem I encountered, was that there was little to no removal, which I completely underestimated the importance of. Now because the deck contains a butt load of wheel spells, I decided removal could be in the form of Return-to-your-hand effects. I Cyclonic Rift your board, and then immediately Wheel of Fortune. Even if the target is indestructible, this won't protect it from being discarded.
The card that gave me the most trouble ironically, is one I decided to add to the deck as bounce removal: Galecaster Colossus. Along side it, we have Tidespout Tyrant, Cyclonic Rift, Evacuation.
To help with the growing number of instants and sorceries I have included Arcane Melee and card;Goblin Electromancer to help out with casting more. Kess, Dissident Mage joins the fray as well as a way of casting wheel spells that get wheeled or discarded somehow.
We'll see how this new update does in the long run. I'm always open to feedback :)
Thanks Everyone

In due time Goblin my friend, you will find out. I will however give another hint with a movie quote:
"When the dust settles, the only thing living in this world, will be metal"

You should drop the second "and" in your title. Flows better

Some budget land ideas as well as some ideas to support your largely basic landbase, starting with the latter
With Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and/or a lot of basic swamps in which you already have, Bubbling Muck becomes a powerhouse ritual often outperforming Dark Ritual and Cabal Ritual,
same goes for basic islands and High Tide, easily ramping you to victory at very low $ and mana cost
Alternatively, you could take advantage of basic lands and artifact mana and run things like Price of Progress, Blood Moon, Back to Basics or Contamination to punish the use of nonbasic lands
Some budget yet value non-basics to consider:
