Spells for mayael?

[Yawgmoth85]

Tryin to build a {mayael the anima} deck but wondering where my non-creature spell list should be; I feel mana fetch will be dominant but where is it best to focus these limited card slots due to a more increased creature count then I'm used to. This is kind if a budget deck and I have enough creatures on my own to make something playable. But any suggestions are welcome.

The best way to run it imo is all creature ramp for your ramp spells, and  {Primal Surge} as your only non creature spell.

I play Mayael more than any of our EDH decks even though it's my girlfriend's. She just refuses to play the deck so I adopted it. I'm a big fan of:

•{Defense of the Heart}, for obvious reasons.

•{Mayael's Aria}, because it has literally won me games with {Worldapine Wurm} and {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth} in locked matches.

•{Beast Within}, You need your spot removal, and this card is nutter butters. Other good options on the same level include {Song of the Dryads} and {Krosan Grip}.

•Rocks. Tons of rocks. {Sol Ring}, Signets ({Gruul Signet} etc.), {Emerald Medallion}, {Moss Diamond}, {Thran Dynamo}. No creature mana sources (aka dorks), they are far too fragile. You need these to power out Mayael and get rockin'.

•Other honorable mentions - {Mirari's Wake}, {Aura Shards}, {Titanic Ultimatum} (I have a foil, and this card is just cool), {Akroma's Memorial}, {Chord of Calling} and {Green Sun's Zenith}.

I don't run much else personally. If you need any tips on creatures let me know!

 {Zhur-Taa Ancient} Is great

Would a lil aggro ruin/mess with the synergy of the deck to much?

{Scroll Rack} in case you draw a fatty you'd rather flip for whatever reason.

{Worldly tutor} to get what you need when you need it

{Tooth and Nail} because it's just unfair

Meh. Tooth and Nail is something I don't run in any of my green decks. Too many times people get the exact same two cards, EVERY time

Idk, I run it. It's pretty gross actually.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to tutor for two cards to win the game... 0.o

I'm not saying it's a bad card, it's a great card, but far too often it becomes a card that says" are you playing green? Well you need tooth and nail" and almost everytime it's avenger of zendikar into craterhoof behemoth.. It's a boring "oh now I win" card. There's no creativity to it.

{Where Ancients Tread} and {Warmstorm Surge} are always great in fatty decks!

{illusionists bracers}! Two triggers for the price of one

That one, and  {Rings of Brighthearth}.
