I'm just getting back into the game after quitting for a long time, and after months of just playing Pauper EDH and Limited, I finally got enough cards to trade for an EDH deck, the first one since I've come back. Decided to go with Momir Vig, since my first pauper EDH general was Zameck Guildmage. Both are Simic Elf Wizards that have a creature plan A and a zany combo plan B, so I thought it would fit perfectly.
The deck has a bunch of infinite combos and I may not even know about all of them, so take a look and let me know what you think!
And yes, I'm aware Gaea's Cradle is missing. Can't afford it. Also can't afford any more fetches.
I really like the deck. It reminds me of my old Momir build. I don't have too much advice, although to me the curve looks a little high with all those 7s and 8s.
I would for sure cut Diluvian Primordial and Chancellor of the Spires. I never liked them and I don't think they are worthy of a slot unless your meta has a ton of awesome spells to steal.
Also I don't really like Terastodon anymore with the whole Sylvan Primordial thing. I would cut it for Farhaven Elf.
Now I know the ETB ramp elves are non synergistic with Momir, but their ramp is a may ability in the late game and they do everything creatures do. Also, I ran Skullclamp in my build, but that doesn't apply here.
i'm thinking of cutting the infinite combo cards (palinchron, aluren, cloud of faeries, etc) and including some of the goodstuff cards like beast within, birthing pod, sphinx of uthuun, etc. what do you guys think?

The deck becomes much better when you do that, at least in my experience. Having multiple combo pieces dilutes your deck. Having one or two dedicated combos is okay though. Your meta might appreciate non-combo, which is always good because it brings less early hate. That can make any deck better.

I would for sure cut Diluvian Primordial and Chancellor of the Spires. I never liked them and I don't think they are worthy of a slot unless your meta has a ton of awesome spells to steal.
I would add, in their places, Survival of the Fittest and some generic ramp spell. Probably Wood Elves.
Also I don't really like Terastodon anymore with the whole Sylvan Primordial thing. I would cut it for Farhaven Elf.
Now I know the ETB ramp elves are non synergistic with Momir, but their ramp is a may ability in the late game and they do everything creatures do. Also, I ran Skullclamp in my build, but that doesn't apply here.

Trying to find a survival but haven't found any yet. I could use Fauna Shaman for now but she seems so meh.
Terastodon is still really good! I can't see myself cutting him, really. He is a totally different card from the primordial.
I still really don't like the Ramp creatures, but I can see making space for them. Hmm..
edit: cut Chancellor for JTMS since I got a FTV 20 today!

Maybe some protection such as Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, or Whispersilk Cloak?
