So I don't play commander often and I'm just getting into the format. I've always wanted to build a turbo fog deck, so I decided to try it in commander since it's a pretty casual format in my area. So I need some suggestions and ideas for the deck I'm working on. I've played with it a couple times now and it seems really consistent and fun to play with but there's so certain cards I can already tell need to come out and I have no idea what to put in. So here's the list.
Now, you might ask why Vorel of the Hull Clade? Honestly, most of this list isn't necessarily "budget" but at the moment it is more so just cards that I own/could find in my collection right now. Vorel happened to be the only simic coloured commander I could find and he actually works pretty well with Grindstone and Darksteel Reactor (kind of puts a target on my head though). I know Angus Mackenzie is the go to turbo fog dude but I don't want to spend the money on him and add a third colour which would make the mana base more money and blah blah blah blah.
So I'm looking for more fogs, possibly some staples that I missed, any suggestions really. Like I said before, I'm not on a budget but I don't want to spend money or trade for expensive cards like Misty Rainforest. So any suggestions like more fog type cards that I may not be aware of, or more card draw engines would be really helpful. Thanks!
Spike Weaver actually seems perfect. I definitely want to pick up a copy of arachnogensis, looks like a pretty powerful fog.
I noticed a lot of people run Sol Ring and such, should I run it in this deck or is not an across the board staple?
Artifacts and lands that accelerate mana are important in commander decks. Sol Ring let’s you play 4 mana spells on turn two. This deck, I think, would prefer to ‘ramp’ with colored mana. I would suggest simic signet, commanders sphere, and thought vessel.

I didn't include these cards in the deck list cause they're really just filler. I will most likely them out for more lands though to be honest.
