Trying my hand at a budget zoo build. Let me know what you guys think.

By no means is this deck "my idea" however this is "my version". Zoo has been around nearly ages now, in its many flavors, and this is but the latest iteration. This just happens to be when I jump in.

This is my second Modern deck now, the first being a Naya Human build. I had a lot of the lands I needed to move this way and this deck really fits my playstyle. It has been tons of fun and I will be continuously working to improve it.

I don't have creatures like Goblin Guide and Tarmogoyf for budget reasons, though some Guides are way up on my list. I hope to acquire some Vexing Devil soon. Maybe I could replace the Loam Lion with them. That extra evolve trigger would be very nice. Four damage for one is never a bad deal either, creature and burn all in one. The haste from Goblin Guide would be huge, plus I plan to try my hand at Burn and Goblin Tribal some day. Any other creature suggestions are welcome. the creatures have always been my favorite part of the game.

I have been trying to find the line between creatures and burn. I'm thinking in the main creatures are more important but I always like to be able to execute some level of interaction with the opponents board. For that reason I like a whole play set of Lightning Bolt and Path to Exile. Atarka's Command comes up huge in this deck so I run four. The one Devastating Summons is nice when it happens and usually isn't played unless it means certain victory. Eventually I would like to take out Loam Lion just to curb some of the dependency on white, but for now it's the best I have for that slot and I am never unhappy to see it. Also, I have more white fetches than red fetches at the moment so the Loam Lion actually kinda helps with that. I like four Reckless Bushwhacker because there are so many things to activate surge he rarely is hard cast, though that is always an option too. I think for the most part the rest is self explanatory. As for lands I am working on obtaining more fetch lands and I will remove shock lands as I do. I have been considering the fast lands lately and any feedback in that regard would be much appreciated.

Thanks for any advice.
