I was going to put Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary in a deck simulator to this one, but sadly he is banned in commander. Just a little heads up.

Thanks :D also added a few cards that i got from my brothers captain sissay deck that i bought off him. (Mana Reflection, Greater Good, Darksteel Plate, Yavimaya Hollow, Worldly Tutor)i also want to put in some more instants for hexproof like Hapatra's Mark and Vines of Vastwood, but deciding what i don't need is getting really hard. any suggestions on what i don't need in there would be great.

It kind of feels like you have more hexproof than creatures in the deck. It kind of feels like you need more trample that hexproof. The deck is well built so the only cards that i felt were a little out of place are Frontier Siege and Woodcutter's Grit. Im not an expert tho, hope someone else can give you an opinion.

I would add Verdant Confluence and take out Nissa's Renewal. I feel like the modality would help deal with other situations, and the lifegain is not that big and incidental as it is not instant you can't use it in a pinch. It would also be good because I noticed you aren't running anything that would pull things from the graveyard if you have an answer there that has died to removal or been milled out.

I would also maybe take out the Emerald Medallion and replace it with a Zendikar Resurgent or Heartbeat of Spring cause there are a lot of nice mana doubling enchantments.

Wish I knew about this Omnath sooner I definitely would like to brew a budget version of this :)

Verdant Confluence is nice. i have one copy of it in another of my decks, but yeah, i might swap them around, thats a good idea, thanks. i did have some cards to pull stuff from the graveyard (Praetor's Counsel), but got rid of them for more aggressive cards because i feel like they waste a little bit of time, and i wanted to make this deck as fast as possible. i know they are useful though, so i'll reconsider.

i did have Zendikar Resurgent in there but swapped it out for a Mana Reflection that i acquired. I've actually taken it out and put it back in several times. can't decide haha. Heartbeat of Spring is interesting. i've never even seen it before, so thanks for that. will definitely consider it.

as for a budget version, if you take out Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, Mana Reflection, Yavimaya Hollow, Worldly Tutor, Greater Good, and Akroma's Memorial, it takes around $100 off the total cost. until a few days ago this deck was only worth $200, but i got all of them except vorinclex from a deck i bought from my brother, and just swapped them out. it was just fine before that. i very rarely lost with this deck when it was worth under $200. some of those cards have versions that are almost as good (e.g. Zendikar Resurgent instead of Mana Reflection), and the rest, while they are awesome, they're not necessary i don't think. swap them out for extra hexproof instants and card draw, and you'd be good to go i think.

with so much mana Wildest Dreams would be really good. You could get back hexproof instants and creatures.

true, but the more mana i spend on spells with X in their mana cost, the weaker omnath gets. as long as he has trample or unblockable, i don't need anything except mana in the pool. i did have stuff like Gelatinous Genesis, Hydra Broodmaster, and Lifeblood Hydra, but for them to be as awesome as i want them to be, i have to take so much power away from omnath. The basic thought process is kind of like, why bother playing cards like that to give me awesome board presence and help me win later, when i could just win the game right now.

if it was instant i'd be all over it cause it'd be an awesome use of the mana in my pool if someone happened to get rid of omnath.
