Sol Ring , Thran Dynamo , Coalition Relic , and Gilded Lotus are relatively cheap ways to improve your mana base.
The filter lands (Fire-Lit Thicket , Wooded Bastion , and Rugged Prairie ) are good for color fixing.

@Silver23 I'm not on a budget per se, but I'm trying to be realistic in what I'll be able to trade for.
I would love to use Brion, but I'm concerned about how reliably I'll be able to get him to hit the field, since I can't use Mayael or Green Sun's Zenith to get him out.
I'm looking up Scry effects right now, though I already am looking for Cream of the Crop .

@Epochalyptik, I have Sol Ring and the filter lands in my wants, though I'm not having much luck in trading for them. I used to have Coalition Relic in my wants, but no one seems to be willing to trade those and I can't seem to find any in my local shops. I've never been entirely convinced about Thran Dynamo, and Gilded Lotus feels like it would just take up an important 5 cc slot in this deck since I can't fetch for it and I already have so many ways to produce mana.

Keeper of Progenitus is another way to ramp.
Perhaps you should include all the cards you're looking for in the sideboard or maybeboard. That way you won't get repeat suggestions.

Yeah, I just figured that out myself. I'm working on that as we speak (or type, I guess?).

I'm not a huge fan of Champion of Lambholt in EDH. You need to get her out early to be of any use, if she comes in late-game I don't think she'll have the time to get big enough to be useful.

I've tested her and she's insane in this deck, especially when I get Forgotten Ancient in here. I once got her to be a 16/16 by the turn after she came out. Oddly enough, she gets more powerful even quicker the later the game in this particular deck.

I know... But if you were to add Aura's I would suggest Angelic Destiny , Bear Umbra , Celestial Mantle , Epic Proportions , Indestructibility or Shape of the Wiitigo .... Any of those are awesome...

They don't really fit the theme of the deck, though. adding them doesn't really make sense.

Sorry to say Human_Rogue_21, but Epochalyptik is right. I have an Uril, though, so I may eventually make an EDH deck around him, but I'm quite happy with Mayael at this point.

are you on a budget because it would be a countertheme with anima to get the fatties out and bring in Brion Stoutarm to deal the damage to win. try out with some scry cards to see what is comming and adjust.
