Okay, so this is a deck I put together initially as a token/goodstuff deck on Doran/Teneb's unique color combination, and I had a shiny cool alter Decree of Justice I wanted to use. Slowly it evolved into a...well I dunno what it is, but it's become my girlfriend's favorite deck of mine to play. I'm looking for suggestions/advice/critique on what's good, what's interesting, what's bad, etc. Suggestions don't necessarily have to be budget, but can't break the bank (dual/shock lands, P3K cards, etc.), if it's within reason I'll look to pick it up. And here it is, the unimpressed tree himself:
I'd find something to replace Slagwurm Armor, despite it's synergy with the general. I find it's a bit over-costed. Same goes for Bladed Pinions and Fevered Convulsions.
Commander!
Intet, the Dreamer
Azusa, Lost but Seeking
Heartless Hidetsugu
Sun Quan, Lord of Wu
Celestial Kirin
Maga, Traitor to Mortals
Sir Shandlar of Eberyn
Karona, False God
Primal Command will go in as soon as I find a copy, Eladamri's Call maybe, Demonic Tutor maybe...but less so than the call. She finds herself wanting a specific creature at times so creature tutors will help.
Swiftfoot Boots as a second Greaves sure, I'll find one. Decree of Pain was considered, but not deemed necessary. I'll do some playtesting and check if it's worth running. Krosan Grip...I dunno why it's not in the deck, I probably couldn't find one and I've been too lazy to look for one, it's often not incredibly relevant but I'll look.
Slagwurm Armor overcosted...in what sense...? same with Bladed Pinions? Fevered Convulsions I can see being overcosted. It's there to a) refill Carnifex Demon/Grim Poppet, b) stick -1/-1 counters on opposing persist guys , c) shrinking Colossi (Blight/Darksteel). I don't know of a similar card to replace that functionality, but it is narrow. I'll consider cutting it.
As far as ramp goes, she's never had to worry about mana woes but I can see your point, I didn't realize I let the land count run so low. Since I rarely play the deck, I don't feel the effects of not having ramp, but I know it's important to have lands/mana to...play spells and all. I'll ask if she thinks she really needs it and if so, I'll find some critters to do it instead of spells since she's on a recursion kick lately.
I'll have to find my Sakura-Tribe Elders...they are pretty much what I'm looking for as far as mana ramp on a stick. High Market I think I have somewhere, Phyrexian Tower feels unnecessary, but I sacrifice outlets are always helpful. Especially since my playgroup is Hallowed Burial happy whenever she lands Doran in play.
Also, lol @blackjack, I was unclear, my girlfriend's been on a recursion kick lately. Sheoldred/Grim Harvest were both recent additions and they've been the most consistent targets for her tutors ever since. (There were more tutors before but she didn't like playing with the same cards over and over again, she's more of a spontaneous gamer.) Although, admittedly, a gender confused tree is perfectly possible. Who'd bother to get close enough to Doran to check?

If the card count is wrong, someone let me know, I tend to forget cards. Anyway, thanks for the help in advance.

Also, Demonic Tutor wouldn't hurt.
Could use Swiftfoot Boots and maybe Decree of Pain.
Krosan Grip instead of Disenchant, for sure.

Could use a bit more ramp while you're at it. Maybe an Explosive Vegetation?
