Umbral Guardian is a combo deck with an extreme ramp and quite a few very strong interactions.

There are a few mana combos, such as Axebane Guardian + Umbral Mantle , and Overgrown Battlement + Umbral Mantle .

If you have infinite mana, Tree of Redemption + Umbral Mantle gives you infinite life, while Assault Formation gives you infinite/infinite on every creature you control.

Natural Affinity also has very strong interactions with Pyroclasm, or with Shamanic Revelation.

The deck's also pretty budget, clocking at a little over 30$.

I'm looking for budget improvement and suggestions. Thank you all!

I added the following cards to the maybeboard:

• Skarrg, the Rage Pits, which would replace 2 forests in the main board.
• Relic of Progenitus, which would probably go to the sideboard, primarily here to deal with Tasigurs and other delvers.
• Cinder Glade, to compensate the loss of color on Skarrg, the Rage Pits. The minus point is the cost of the card.
