A good ratio is 40 lands, and then 10 for mana accel, 10 for instant answers, 10 for card draw, and one boardwipe which will favor you. But it's just a guideline.

In green, you have five mana ramp spells for . All green decks should presumably use all five if possible. (Monogreen gains nothing from Farseek, and Three Visits is a very rare card because Portal: Three Kingdoms. Hermit Druid decks are advised to just use mana rocks.) Toss in Sol Ring and Arcane Signet and we're at 7. The rest can be diamonds, signets, Mind Stone, Thought Vessel (if you're drawing a ton of cards), or Coldsteel Heart (which is strictly better than diamonds because you get to choose your color).

At three mana, you get Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, and Chromatic Lantern. Wood Elves and Farhaven Elf can be good, if you have ways to sacrifice them or otherwise abuse the 1/1 body.

At four, Skyshroud Claim and Migration Path are my favorites. I also like Hedron Archive.

Heya, nice build and good to see another Arena player using this site +1

Feel free to add me on Arena if you ever want to talk deck tech, run some test games or whatever. I love playing brawl and have a lot of different decks useful for testing purposes.

One thing I will say about the mana base is that I notice you're only using 1 of the 2-CMC color-producing mana rocks. Arcane Signet and Coldsteel Heart (along with the Solar Transformer you already run) are pretty much a shoe-in for me on decks with 3 or more colors. Chromatic Lantern is another one I favor in 3-or-more color decks, but certainly all the 2-CMC color rocks I'd consider adding.

I really like it! A tiny bit more ramp might be nice though, as it's quite land reliant right now. Arcane Signet, Commander's Sphere, Fire Diamond, Coldsteel Heart, Desperate Ritual, Pyretic Ritual, or Seething Song for a few to consider. Hope this can help a little!

Had a quick browse of the other J22 cards and it looks like the Coldsteel Heart and Ob Nixilis's Cruelty images are also broken. Thanks for your help! :)

Starting with mana, you only have 44 sources. I would recommend going around 47. Sapphire Medallion and Jet Medallion are a lot better than the monuments, although more expensive. You want to avoid 3 mana rocks like Dimir Locket and Commander's Sphere, you have better options in two mana ones. Add Coldsteel Heart, Fellwar Stone, Dimir Signet, Talisman of Dominance and at least one land.

For interaction, you could add enchantment removal like Feed the Swarm. Bitter Triumph is new and may be better than Infernal Grasp here.

Since mill and discard can basically act as card draw, you can run cards like Mire Triton, Stitcher's Supplier, Undead Butler, Palantir of Orthanc, and Fact or Fiction, as well as sacrifice based card draw like Corrupted Conviction, Village Rites, and Deadly Dispute. There's also always all-stars Black Market Connections, Phyrexian Arena, and Rhystic Study if you want to go that direction.

Some card to protect your commander like Netherborn Altar, Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Zombie Master or Lightning Greaves / Swiftfoot Boots may be helpful if you rely on Gisa and it keeps getting removed.

There are certain cards I am not a fan of in this deck including Master of Death, Prized Amalgam, Scourge of Nel Toth, Tomebound Lich, Dead Revels, and Syphon Flesh.

Some other cards to consider include Cryptbreaker, Geralf, Visionary Stitcher, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Lord of the Undead, Noxious Ghoul, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, The Scarab God, Distant Melody, Buried Alive, Diabolic Intent, Liliana, Dreadhorde General. You could probably replace similar cards with these if they are better.

Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Sac Outlet is infinite. I don't think you run many sac outlets. You could add Acererak the Archlich to go infinite with just Rooftop Storm.

These cards both fit the theme and have at least some synergy with the deck- Muse Vortex, Spellbinding Soprano, Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel, Fires of Victory, Victory Chimes, Entrancing Melody, Maelstrom Muse

Talruum Piper is a bad card, but it is a musical Minotaur.

These cards don't quite fit the theme but are powerful in this sort of deck- Volcanic Vision, Immolating Gyre, Tzaangor Shaman, Omnispell Adept, Galvanoth, Epic Experiment, Summons of Saruman, Aminatou's Augury, Commence the Endgame

Also some cheap land upgrades- Fiery Islet, Frostboil Snarl, and Command Tower.

You should also consider running more lands than 35, with a mana curve this high it can be easy to stumble on lands. Alternatively you could play more ramp spells like Worn Powerstone and Coldsteel Heart.

Tsukimi Sure thing! Feel super free to keep those pet cards around, big haymakers are really fun even if they can be a bit win-more. If you find the big expensive cards get stuck in your hand too often, you can go ahead and make som changes later anyways!

For now though, if you'd like to keep to the theme, you might be interested in Crippling Fear perhaps? It's a cheaper tribal board wipe, but might not have quite enough oomph. Or maybe lean in real hard for Plague Wind just because you can even though you'll probably never have the mana for it (except if you pull off coffers/urbog stuff), what do I know?

As for mana rocks, there are a few that might fit the bill:

Coldsteel Heart is simply both diamonds at once for starters.

Liquimetal Torque, Fractured Powerstone, Thought Vessel and Prismatic Lens all add colorless mana while lens can mana fix for you as well.

But perhaps Pillar of Origins or Pentad Prism might be the rock of choice here?

To both empty your hand faster and ramp to the titans, you might go extra heavy on the ramp.
