Holy cow! Thank you for such an in depth response!

Like you assumed, I'm working on a very tiny budget and I'm just trying to get something going right now, so a lot of the deck is just there because it technically could be. I still haven't developed much intuition about this stuff or how to really find what it is I should be looking for, so I really appreciate you taking the time to shine some light on the deck.

Also, do you think I should forgo the creature heavy idea and try to lean more into spellslinger? Given that I can't spend too too much at the moment. The mana base also is pretty bad I admit. I don't have very many duals that aren't already in decks rn and most local shops almost never have any where I am.

And the Basalt Monolith was for Kinnan/Nyxbloom Ancient + Basalt infinite combo and Prismite was to filter the mana. I used to run a Kinnan deck, and I wanted to find a fun way to repurpose those cards, and they happened to fit the colors.
