Any help is appreciated. I am trying to help a friend out with this deck. Cost isn't too big of a deal, but I don't want to spend more than $50 or so (we already have all of the above, so those don't count).Would like to have more draw (considering {Urban Evolution} or {Underworld Connections}). The person who will be piloting this doesn't play too much blue, so I am trying to keep the reliance on counterspells to a minimum.
Also, one I get a decklist locked down, and do some testing, I want to experiment with splashing white for {Ajani, Mentor of Heroes} to get some card advantage. Shouldn't be too hard, because of {Sylvan Caryatid}, but we would likely need to play {Mana Confluence} or something which is kind of awkward in a slow deck like this because of how much the pinging hurts.
I am playing a very similar deck to this I will bump mine so if you want a look you can.
IMO card Drew is very important so {Underworld Connections} {Kiora, the Crashing Wave} and/or {Urban Evolution} are all good things for this type of deck.
Also with good card drew you can cut back on 4 ofs in the deck.
