This was a deck I though would be fun to pilot. I know there are things I could do to the deck, but I don't want to spend much. I want suggestions, but keep in mind, I don't want to waste a lot of money on a deck that is only a fun oddity.

{Saruli Gatekeepers} (Actually a Maze staple card), {Yoked Ox} (Brickwalls so many things), {Riot Control} (This is a {time walk} vs aggro), {Voyaging Satyr} (Activate Maze the turn you play it back out).

 {Prophet of Kruphix} isn't that much but is 100% needed in any maze end deck.  I would take out the  {Sylvan Caryatid} for her, maybe even try to run 4 to make sure you get one.

i like this idea, too. Better than Voyaging Satyr. Maze on their turn, etc. Flash in Saruli Gatekeepers in response to the blockers step, etc.

I had her in the deck, but I don't have a lot of creatures so I wasn't seeing a huge benefit from her.

She untaps your gates/maze on your opponent's turn. It speeds up maze gate-fetching tremendously.

Pitty you went light on red.  {Crackling Perimeter} is one of the best secondary win conditions in a mazes end deck.
