This is my budget build of Hapatra, with -1/-1 counters (obviously) and a small infect/proliferate subtheme.

The deck was originally the sub-$50USD build posted by Rain of Salt as part of his No-Cash Commander series, but I've put in a few changes, and plan to continue editing and upgrading over time.

My current thought is that the build is a little too creature heavy, and some of the infect creatures are rather low impact, especially in the mid-late game. So my plan is to gradually acquire the cards in the maybeboard, and mainly use them replace the more lacklustre creatures, which should also balance out the card types.

However, I'm not sure what the optimal ratio of creature:non-creature spells should be. Should I also be putting in more ramp spells? In my games, I've never had mana issues with 37 land, but perhaps one or two of those should be cut for Kodama's Reach or Cultivate or something?

Suggestions welcome! Thanks!
