Deck discussion for Walled up 2

I'd give some consideration to dropping black altogether here and focusing on white, blue, and green. Four colors is quite a lot to run in what I assume is a budget deck, aka with no expensive fetch lands. A focus on white over black will also allow you to run very useful cards like wall of omens. I know you want to run black for the search and skulk, but both effects can be achieved within blue/white/green, which you're stuck with as you're going for arcades over doran.

You also obviously need to fix the lands, but that shouldn't be too tough. You'll need at least 21 I'd think, with more colors, even with the unbridled growth.

Hey, thanks for the comment! The truth is that this deck is, in fact, not fully optimized. As you say, having that many colors in a budget deck with no lands isn't the best idea. However, I have played this deck and cards like Axebane Guardian and Saruli Caretaker really help playing the big cards from other colors.
Plus, I wanted a fun, original and casual deck because I got bored from other "too mechanical" and meta decks that I have, such as a Pili-Pala & Grand Architect combo, or a black Discard deck.
I have to say, tho, that the deck does work pretty well and is fun to play, dropping big creatures like Charix or the trees. In order to upgrade the deck, rather than getting fetch lands or reducing the colors, I'd love to get some better mana ramp cards such as Sylvan Caryatid, and also, I've noticed that as you suggest with Wall of Omens, I might need some more card-drawing.
Still, thanks for the suggestion, and I'll take it into account if I need to really optimize the deck for something more competitive!

Here's my take on the build, for what that's worth.
