Love the list. The Temples are a great idea. I run all 10 in my {Cromat} deck, and although they're slow it allows you to game plan a bit as in "I'm shipping any non-land" if you're behind. I may try to fit them into my list too.

{Minamo, School at Water's Edge} for untapping  {Roon of the Hidden Realm}?

As far as ramp goes: {Wood Elves}, {Farhaven Elf} and {Solemn Simulacrum} are legit. {Bloom Tender} is kind of a judgement call. It's $12 and not exactly the best. I think {Birds of Paradise} is kinda weak here too. I know {Noble Hierarch} isn't much better, but I have one and like the card. Kind of a bragging include.

Both of the elves are in there, so are you suggesting cutting {Bloom Tender} for the simulacrum? I'm confused :P

As for birds, the hierarch is out of my budget so I threw those in. I'm still kinda worried about creature based ramp, so is there something you would add instead? By the way, my budget is probably around $15-20/card besides SoF, although I prefer to stay in the $10 range.

I don't want to cut any more basics, but I could see cutting {treetop village} for Minamo. I'd rather get the rest of the deck first though.

How about  {Wall of Roots}? You've got ways to Negate -0/-1 counters.

How about {Voice of Resurgence}? I am considering it over {Meddling Mage}. Mage was a bit of a snap reaction to {Containment Priest} which actually doesn't hose it. I don't have any way of knowing an opponent is playing it or not, and I can't just reactively play it because Priest will already be on the stack. A counterspell is better then Mage in EDH.

It's also super good with pod

And you can use it twice per turn. Because it doesn't tap the creature you can use it the turn it comes out, blink, its considered a new permanent and use it again.

Maybe {Voidslime} over Mage? Or Path?

Well, just traded practically every valuable card from my trade binder besides 2 brimaz and 2 rabblemaster for about 10 cards I needed for this... I wish I'd been playing for longer :-/

How about {Trostani's Summoner}? Pretty cool finisher that puts 10 power on the board. Plus a sweet promo version is like $1.

{Palinchron}, I think he's boring. The infinite combo is kinda played out and ultimately not as satisfying.

Meh, I still want to keep this as competitive a combo deck as possible. But I'll keep it under consideration.

I feel like the Ajani doesn't do much for you... You are just going to flicker away the counters from his +1, and his ult doesn't matter in Commander due to the 21 Commander Damage Rule...

True. However I don't like the idea of cutting a 5 drop for a 7 drop...

In that case, cut hornet queen. Triple green and a meh effect. I much prefer trostanis summoner

Buuuut deathtouch! Great on defense.

But only on defense. The summoner is great attacking or blocking, plus 7 drops are best as finishers, not cards that stall.

That is true. However deathtouch flyers are nice to kill literally anything anyone throws at you, which they will when you're getting 10 power/turn.

But now that I think about it that doesn't work... It would be one or the other. I'm leaning towards the summoner, assuming I have one. If not I think I'll go for the queen since I traded for one on Saturday.

Well, I did find one :)

I may end up cutting the Palinchron as it is really boring.

{containment priest} loves Roon.....

Done.

Bump on request.

Just so you guys know, this list is old and definitely needs updates, I just haven't gotten around to it.

Bump with many edits. And so I don't have to search through 3 pages to find this again once I make a change.

I need to replace {Birds of Paradise}. Any suggestions for one mana non-creature ramp or something else to have instead? Should I play like {Brainstorm} or a Sword or something?

So far thinking of replacing it with {Solemn Simulacrum}.

Any thoughts on whether I need a 37th land?

I am also considering replacing {Bloom Tender} but it would need to be a 2 mana non creature or 2 mana creature with a good ETB trigger.

Also may need a replacement for Ajani.

I have always loved bounce and etb shenanigans.  I am building Roon next.  Solid list.

Solemn simulcrum over woodelves?  Sure it is 1 more mana but it is straight colorless and is the best chump blocker cuz he replaces himself

Both in there 😊

See him now.  Sneaky golem

Haha, yep :P

{Lotus cobra}?

My hope was sorta to have something that wouldn't die to a board wipe.

{Gift of Immortality} will keep your dudes from dying (in a way) and retrigger any ETB effect of the creature it is attached to

I was hoping for some type of ramp that is either in ETB form like {Wood Elves} or a non creature form. Maybe {Moss Diamond}? I need cheap ramp when running only 36 lands.

Awkwardly one card over, just cutting {Bloom Tender}.

Considered  {dauntless escort}?  I only mention it cuz you said you wanted things to live through board wipes

Huh. Cool. No, what I really meant was I wanted a mana creature that's effect would live through board wipes like {Wood Elves} where I already have value from it even if it dies. Guess I wasn't explaining myself too well.

But doesn't matter, Bloom Tender is gone and I don't need a replacement.

Thinking of taking the combo out of this entirely, as I find that pretty boring. I have 2-3 new slots, cutting {Saffi Eriksdotter} and {Body Double}. Thinking of {Spell Crumple}/{Hinder} and maybe a ETB bouncing trigger. Thoughts on either {Nevermaker} or {Riftwing Cloudskate}, or something else?

{Kitchen Finks} is also an option.

Why not add in {Mentor of the Meek}. You have a lot of 2 power guys so you'll get a lot of value off of it

Was able to make 24 1/1 deathtouch insects today 😂😂😂
