MTG Salvation

Hello all.

I've never played EDH before, so this is a new venture for me in terms of deck-building. I'd consider myself a fairly average deck builder overall, but, when looking to EDH, I'm more of a novice or beginning player.

I'm posting the raw decklist for my first attempt. In practicing with it against another Commander deck, I discovered I probably want 2-4 more lands and I need to put some mana rocks in.

The biggest problem? The deck needs to be built on a budget. I'm really not going to be purchasing cards from all over the place online as my income can't support that right now (temporarily unemployed). I would like to make modifications to the deck using cards I already have.

I'm going to post the deck first, to allow people a chance to look at it and make their suggestions. If I have a card suggested, great! If there's interest in helping me with this deck, I'll follow up later with other card lists. Thank you for your time and your patience.

I build ~$20 EDH decks to give away to new players, one of my more-recent and better decks is Vaevictis Asmadi.

It's a board-control deck, it tries to ramp up and then play board-sweepers, with Vaevictis as a finisher. It almost always does relevant stuff in a multiplayer game, and in half the games that it wins, it seals the deal with two swings from a 12/7 Vaevictis.

Yeah, I'm definitely missing a lot of those. I'll see what I can turn up in trade though. I like what I see.
