Deck discussion for {GW} Anti Swarm Budget

hey,
Id never seen Gutter Grime before, but i do like the combination of it + undying or persists + board wipes. have you tested this deck much?

Im not sure what your budget is, but from my point of view i cant see what the angels do? i know that they're fun cards and strong to boot, but your win mechanic is gutter grime tokens, so id swap out angels and add undying and persists creatures.

My guess is you choose the board wipes based off your budget,if thats the case then thats fine, but if you wanted to make the deck just a bit stronger but still keep the budget then looking to get 4cmc or even 5cmc board wipes helps a bunch.

Let me know what issues did you run into when you tested it?, over all i think youre ono to the start of fun budget deck

That's a more condensed mechanic than you have there, 26$ is still pretty budget but but almost 10$ is Sunpetal grove and Sylvan Caryatid so still not to bad

I mostly play casually with friends (1vs1 or multi-player), rarely in locals. This deck is just for fun, so I try to use cards I have and use my budget for stronger ones...

One Angle (Shepherd) has persist and puts every dying creature back into my hand.
The other one is in there cause I like him :P I is really strong in my opinion but won’t fit in anything but a ramp deck.

Cauldron Haze is a really nice (especially with undying creatures). A Geist can use undying, persist, immediately die and come back with persist again triggering Gutter Grime three times and Elemental Bond twice.
Also Gatecreeper Vine does trigger ones more even if its not useful as a 0/1 wall afterwards.

Regarding your ideas:
Llanowar Elves-like ramps don’t work that well with boards wipes in my opinion. I’ll try to play-test your deck a bit online and see how it works out. Searching and playing extra lands gives me the mana even if my creatures die...

You decided for Plea for Guidance over Idyllic Tutor, i guess I just because Tutor is too expensive money wise?
What do you think of searchable creature removal enchantments like Quarantine Field?

Is Planar Outburst better then Divine Reckoning?
Did you test Heartmender? He seems really nice in the right deck.

Vorapede is a strong woodlouse o.O
