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...
