I think you definitely need some more sources of green mana to be consistant. The deck is very dependent on the Beastcaller Savant (love this card) so it will probably be a glass cannon with some terrific wins and many do nothing losses. Great idea though, play the deck and hope for the best.

I agree with Saracloud. The cheap artifact creatures are not giving you value unless you play affinity. Try Guardians of Meletis as a good stall creature to reach 20 artifacts. Also Liquimetal Coating can be used to add +1 to your artifact amount or use a unneeded land for a Shrapnel Blast. Also Valakut could be of help since you are playing mostly mountains. Trash for Treasure and some source to give your creatures haste should help.
Red/White Allies can be a really strong deck. I played the colors at the BFZ pre-release and went 4 - 1 . Had only 8 Allies but used Bane of Bala-Ged as the finisher which worked great. Will work on R/W Allies in a while when I acquire the needed cards. Nice deck.
iI will probably add the life dual common lands if I pull this deck out to update it. Thanks
Uril is a great commander, but suceptable to Board wipe. I have been thinking of throwing in Darksteel Plate, but will probably stick with the umbra auras.
You need to add Aggravated Assault - with Bear Umbra on Uril it can clear the board, even in multiplayer.. I am a big fan of Uril and have been considering different ways to work around him beside voltron. You seem to have most of the good Aura cards in your deck already.I would suggest adding Sylvan Library if you have one, and Greater Auramancy. In my deck I am working on playing, Sterling Grove or Greater Auramancy, and cards like Solitary Confinement and Sphere of Safety and killing with Auratog eating Rancor/Spirit loop with evasion, Uril beatdown, , or Words of War. Other cards you might want to consider are Vicious Shadows, Awakening Zone, Goblin Bombardment, Beastmasters Ascension, Oblivion Ring, and the other white Pacifism effects. Ediolon of Blossoms should also be good. Be wary of Aura Shards it is the Bane of this deck. Good Luck kicking BUTT with Uril.
I like your deck, but it seems a little too top heavy with large creatures. Also no mana rocks and echantment/artifact removal. A timely Winter Orb, Meekstone, or Tangle Wire could really set you back. Also a mid or late game Price of Progress is game over for you. A card I play in all my red EDH decks to hose the heavy non basic player. You are correct in stating that Lyzloda, Blood Witch is a very useful Rakdos card. Try making her the General in a persist/wither sacrifice deck as a change of pace. Best of Luck
Add fabricate and a cheap blue counterspell such as Dispel or Spell Pierce to get and protect your kill combo.
maybe a little more discard such as Dangerous Wager, Shattered Perception, or Wheel of Fate. Chandra Ablaze would be an excellent fit in your deck. Nice job.
I could add one , but I have mine in other decks. It would be difficult to find a slot as the Swords are better for protection and evasion, and I do not want to add any more equipments. Thanks for your imput.
With this deck you are always the bullseye. Beseech the Queen is another inexpensive tutoe for this deck and Greed is a good card draw mechanism.
Glad to see another fan of Manaless Dredge out there. Deck is super solid and fun to play, but not to play against. Only suggrstion I could make is to add Mindreak Trap to your sideboard vs Combo.
I have been playing Marrow-Gnawer/ Relentless Rats EDH for about 2 years and love the deck. It has a great early game and can catch many opponents while they are still trying to establish board position. The downside of the deck is that you become the immediate target in multiplayer. Here are a few cards you might want to add to make your deck stronger and more resiliant. Cabal Coffers, Sol Ring, Patriarch's Bidding, Grave Pact, Nevinyrral's Disk, Syphon Mind, Shred Memory - tutor for Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots, Diabolic Tutor( any black Tutor effect), Loxodon Warhammer,, and Brainspoil to tutor out Thrumming Stone. Also I run about 4 or 5 targeted elimination to handle problem creatires - Doom Blade, Dismember, Brittle Effigy etc. There are a lot of other mini-combos and ways you can shape the deck to give it other back up themes -Black Land Destruction, Sacrifice/Reanimation, but playing it straight aggro is a good and fun way to win. Hope some of this is helpful. Enjoy the deck.
Jinxed Choker should help this deck, and is a very "budget minded" addition. I was working on a version of the deck using Land Destruction - Armageddon, with Ankh and Zu-Zu, the punisher, plus other LD spells and white fog effects, and tutoring for the sanctuary. Flamebreak might also fit you deck, if not for the budget aspect. Nice Deck
I played a serious auratog/enchantress deck many years ago to abuse rancor/ auratog. My alternate creature of choice was Bird of Paradise with Ancestral Mask for the win. Birds as a 2 of might put you over your budget, but connecting with a 20/22 Bird for the win has such an awsome feeling to it. Umbras might help, but your deck seems pretty solid as is. Ethereal Armor should also make the deck somehow.
Nice Braid's deck. However you are missing one great Braid's trick. Grozoth..... If Braids puts Grozoth into play you can pull all the 9 casting cost cards from your deck... EX. Niullstone Gargoyle, Artisan of Kozilak, Hand of Emrekul, Darksteel Forge, Colossus, Teeks's Dragon etc. Fabricate can put one of the artifacts in your hand, and play a lot of card draw/manipulation. Nullstone Gargoyle gives you added protection with its countering effect. I played a Blaids "standard" deck back when it first came out using Grozoth/Nullstone Gargoyle and surprised that it won 50% of its matches in local small tournaments Add Mystical Tutor to your deck to increace the chance of pulling one of you extra turn sorcery spells. Paradox Haze is another key card which you already have to abuse Braids..Enjoy
Sorry missed the Lantern earlier. Eternal Witness , Aven Mindsensor, and Hinder should probably be added to the deck. I also Like Daxos of Meletis and Tryon Predator in creature slots.
Derevi has great potential as an EDH commander. I like what you are doing , but there are some cards that will make the deck much better. If you are playing Stasis add a Forsaken City and Crop Rotation to get it when needed. Frozen Aether would also be a good addition. I am working an a Derevi deck using Winter Orb/Opposition instead of Stasis. Sword or Feast & Famine to untap lands would be a good addition to backup your commander. You added Path to Exile, but no Sword To Plowshares, and I do not think you have enough targets to make the Scepter useful. Also I would add some Artifact color mana and some mana ramp., Chromatic Lantern or Signets . I am still short a few cards to actually playing my deck , but will comment on it when it gets some matches completed. How has your deck done in serious or casual play?
Add Lightning Greaves, Swiftboots, Time Ebb and Tawnos Wand to give your general hexproof, haste and unblockability each turn. Time Ebb to bounce opponents biggest threat then exiled and life gain by Daxos. You could add Enlightened Tutor or even Zur the Enchanter since you are playing a lot of enchantments. Deck needs more countering and board wipe in case things get out of hand. Retether and some of the blue or white umbra spells may also help.
Seems like a decent Lin Sivvi deck, but there are a few cards you could add to make it better. Knight of the Holy Nimbus and Mirror Entity are excellent rebels, and Bound in Silence is a pacifism you can get with Lin Sivvi. I like to play a lot of board wipe in this deck because your general allows for a fast recovery. Valor Made Real works well with your color protected rebels and is a one-sided wrath when played on Defiant Vanguard against a mass attack. Add some equipment and cut a few of the weaker rebels Lightning Greaves to protect your general, and Basilisk Collar is always helpful. Deck should also carry Disenchant and Enlightened Tutor to get your most needed enchantment. As far as lands go, I play Maze of Ith, and Miren the Moaning Well in my Lin Sivvi deck. Another neat trick is to get Lin Sivvi killed or in the command zone and then clear the field with Hallowed Burial, tucking your oppnents generals into their decks. Oblation also does that to one opponent's general. The only other thing I could suggest adding is the Stuffy Doll/ Guilty Conscience combo for one on one play if your opponent is playing combo or you appreciate cheesy wins.
