{"ops":[{"insert":"Since you built the deck using bulk cards, there are obviously many ways to upgrade it.

{"ops":[{"insert":"I agree here with the Cycling, Channel, Suspend, and Adventures. I play the same colors in "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pako, Arcane Retriever"}},{"insert":", and slow starts are always rough. Looking for \"dead cards\" that kinda just sit in your hand or dont really have an impact when you play should be replaced with a better or different effect. Since your decl is a bit creature heavy I would reccomend returnal like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bala Ged Recovery // Bala Ged Sanctuary"}},{"insert":" (which is an MDFC, useful for emergency land) to bring back efects you like, and when the lands arnt what you need "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Forgotten Cave"}},{"insert":" "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lonely Sandbar"}},{"insert":" and the forest cycling lands are great for fixing your hand and mana base. These may not fit in your deck but they fit in mine and helped further my plan. I did notice a lack of enchantments for your deck and there are some good ones like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Branching Evolution"}},{"insert":" to speed up the counters on"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Animar, Soul of Elements"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Additive Evolution"}},{"insert":" to give him an outta color keyword \"vigilance.\" Another keyword that is often missed is \"Surge\" which allows you to cast spells for a cheaper cost after youve casted something. In an expensive creatre deck spells like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grip of the Roil"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Containment Membrane"}},{"insert":" might give you some interesting removal options or just a surpise.
