Have you considered swapping out planar portal with a wheel? I think it would be a _wheely _good idea

Killer_Manfred Great deck! What kind of suggestions r u looking for, any particular budget per card?

Semblance Anvil/Cloud Key/ugin ineffable/artifact cost reducer + top Mystic Forge = draw ur entire deck

U also can make infinite colorless mana with everflowing chalice + voltaic + commander. Metal worker + voltaic key + cards in hand = infinite colorless mana

Blinkmoth Well + winter orb = fun times for u

SufferFromEDHD

U have 2 rishkar's expertise. I would swap the second one with either hunter's or soul's depending on your preference.

Is the forest walk that important? I feel like built in protection takes priority over evasion. I do play more cautiously though.

SufferFromEDHD

Legolas's Quick Reflexes - Hexproof, untap and damage.

How has shamanic revelation played out in a deck that doesn't go wide? Have you considered adding Soul's Majesty in it's place?

Thrun, the Last Troll > Miri? - The built in hexproof + regen is great. Anti counter is a nice cherry on top. While I understand Miri is an alternative body for your buffs and has some nice keywords, I feel like your equipment + other spells more than cover that already.

You have a bunch of creatures with 1 toughness, perhaps Skullclamp?

Speaking of 1 toughness, while not an entirely serious suggestion due to anti-synergy, Sylvan Safekeeper comes to mind.

Cabal Coffers + Deserted Temple + Rings + enough swamps/urborg = Infinite Black mana.

While coffers is not meant for a deck of this nature, I just wanted to bring it to your attention for future reference/deck building in case you weren't aware of it. On that note, temple can untap mishras or even lake of the dead + politics.

Buried ruin recurs aetherflux, citadel, rings and goblin cannon, all combo pieces. I thought it might be a useful recursion piece without taking up a main slot, but I see your point. Just wanted to note it in case they just target ur wincons as they eventually will.

I mention yawgmoth as a potential backup, perhaps I'm just cautious. I saw all those cheap rocks and spells and thought that when they go after your glass cannon, then you have a chance of building it back up, but i see your point.

Basically, this deck is all gas, little brakes, like a Sidisi Undead Vizier deck, cool. Given that, its hard to provide ramp pieces or slots that you haven't already chosen. What kind of suggestions are you looking for or what do you think the deck is lacking that you would like to improve?

You have 3 themes, out of them, lifegain is the least important. As such, Oracle of Nectars seems like the easiest cut. Selesnya Guildmage is expensive to activate it's abilities. I feel you could do more with your mana. True, both are mana sinks, but I don't believe your deck produces the amount of mana needed to use them consistently. And even if you could, would you want to? What has your experience been with them?

I also run a mono black (almost) creatureless deck. May I recommend Spreading Plague for creature control or is it too high CMC? Works with fountain port to kill blue creatures. On that note, No Mercy and The Abyss are great anti-creature cards.

Imp's Mischief - "Counter" counterspells, redirect targeted removal, draw and extra turns!

What combos r u running? I see aethflux + bolas citadel + top. Rings + basalt + top. What else am I missing?

I thought The One Ring Was Banned, or am I mistaken?

Maybe add some light stax like Torpor Orb or even a Cursed Totem depending on the meta (I know it hurts you but worth noting).

You have a really low avg cmc and a large amount of tutors. You could probably remove 1 land if you wanted. Speaking of lands, while i hate Lake of the Dead, it seems like a good fit for what you wanna do.

While not an entirely serious suggestion, Voltaic Key can untap ur large mana rocks like basalt, grim, mana vault and sol ring. Moreover, it combos with everflowing (4 counters) + rings + voltaic = Infinite mana. Speaking of combos, since rings is a good part of it, having some artifact recursion such as Buried Ruin is nice to have. Moreover, while not a serious suggestion, Crucible of Worlds can go well with your sac lands. Bonus points if you add fetches. Fetches can be used with rings for ramp, shuffle your library (in case top says ur top 3 suck), and with crucible for consistent land drops. Might be a bit too slow for the deck but wanted to share it.

Speaking of recursion, Yawgmoth's Will - Super powerful.

At the risk of being too niche, Corpse Dance is fun to ensure no commander tax + built in haste.

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Maybe remove some lands?

DemonDragonJ

Pardon the delayed response. Have you considered removing 1-2 lands given ur avg cmc of 3.62? You could add more draw or ramp in it's place, that way you are more likely to get the lands you need with less risk of being flooded. U r in green so it's worth noting.

Chromatic Lantern - The trap of lantern. If it helps you enough to warrant it's inclusion, then there is usually a landbase issue. With having only 2 colors, one of them being green, I don't see it's purpose in the deck. Any other 3 drop ramp spell or better yet, Mind Stone can take it's place. Alternatively, Nature's Lore and Cultivate are better alternatives as artifacts can be removed/nullified.

Elder Garagoth - I say add in him and see how he plays. A bit expensive IMO but worth seeing how it plays out.

Rishkar's Expertise - Great card for your commander, draw and tempo all in 1.

The Ozolith - While idk much about 1/1 counters or tokens, I think this could work in ur build.

Heroic Intervention - For the eventual wipe

Mortlocke

Congrats on your 8 year anniversary! Also, I'm glad you found someone who understand your "addicti....hobby" :D

Hordebane +1 for your title's utilization of alliteration!! I always appreciate amazing alliteration!

What kind of suggestions/feedback r u looking for? Any budget, meta or combo considerations to be aware of?

Andramalech

I'm a guy but I get it, the description/list is still being updated. Lands usually are the last to be updated, even in a land deck.

Have you considered adding Berserk? Super powerful in your build, easy to cast and can even be used on opposing creatures for some surprise politics.

Nature's Lore/Three Visits > Rampant growth

I like how u run both Cultivator collusus and sylvan library, nice synergy. Speaking of sylvan library synergy, Life from the Loam might be worth considering for both it's own value + it's synergy with library. More synergy with life from the loam includes Realms Uncharted, but that's if you dedicate a lot more non-basics. You do have a lot of cards to recur lands so its worth noting.

Lastly, (I understand ur still updating the list, its just worth noting that) you have 97 cards in your deck currently.

Andramalech

Farseek - But the only basics you have are forests and farseek doesn't get a forest. What am I missing here? I'm trying to wrap my head around this.

Speaking of lands, have you considered adding any non-basics? I understand you need a lot of basics from your strategy + early game. Crop rotation in particular would warrant some nonbasics. Some non-basics to consider include....

Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal

Castle Garenbrig - Ramp

Yavimaya Hollow - Regen + politics, expensive but could be worth it depending on how much you're trying to drop on this deck.

Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Not a strong inclusion as it could help your opponents more than you. The benefit being able to tap your fetchs for mana when needed and sac them when you don't (especially for top of deck cards like Oracle of Mul Daya).

Andramalech +1

I understand ur first 2 points. Regarding farseek, what plains, island, mountain or swamp are you getting? I dont see any of those land types in the deck.

Nissa's Pilgrimage > Cultivate/Kodama's reach

Sylvan Safekeeper - Seems like a potential inclusion. While shroud could mess up some of your strategies, being able to sac a land (and presumably replay it assuming no other land drops) and protect your creature from removal, or even bait removal, seems pretty strong.

Lastly, while I understand the super fast curve on this deck, do you feel 33 lands is enough for a land deck/what you're trying to achieve? I know you're still testing it, just wanted to bring that into consideration.

Andramalech

I'll try to take a deeper look later but from a first glance, would Rancor be a good fit? Reuseable, cheap, and can put on another creature (because politics).

Vines of Vastwood > giant growth? - 2 mana vs. 1 but much more benefits. Pretty helpful in a commander reliant deck.

EDIT: Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, how does farseek benefit you?

Your creature choices seem solid like most xenagos decks. I do wonder how Realm Seakers and panglacial wurm have been playing for you, +1
