Terramorphic Expanse
Who needs to waste hundreds of dollars on expensive mana bases when you have this? It fixes you mana and is budget-friendly! Awesome art and flavor text too!

Edit: For reference
I guess they already appear as One, but the smaller ones both make much better generals.
Plus, the blinks pretty good utility...great responses to Chaos Warp or Oblation, and work really well with Godo, Duplicant, and the titans.
What is the best way to support control archetypes in Peasant? I might be biased because I tend to lean towards aggro decks in limited, but I'm a little unsure as to how to support the archetype. I think even seeing a few control type decks that people have drafted in Peasant might help.
By limiting myself to just modern, am I hurting Blue? Looking over cube lists that aren't modern only, I notice that blue seems to have the most cards outside of Modern. Is blue weaker in modern cubes, and if so, is there any good way to offset that?
1) This might be something you have discussed before, so I apologize if I am making you repeat, but what is the RC's opinion on Sol Ring? As I look around these forums, I struggle to find a deck that doesn't, or shouldn't include Sol Ring, and seeing that this is a format that promotes diverse and unique deckbuilding, why should the one card that is in (practically) every deck be allowed? Do you think the format be more diverse without it?
2) Does WotC have any say in your bans or veto power over them? Do you have to get a thumbs up from them before announcing changes?
3) Clearly, more and more support has been coming from Wizards for Commander, through splashy cards, powerful legends, and Commander specific product. Do you think there is such a thing as too much support? Might there be a point when Wizards prints too many cards specifically for commander that it loses it's identity as a format where diverse and unique decks can shine?
Re Card Draw:
Underworld Connections seems like a good card to test if you're looking for early card draw. I would gladly pay 1 extra mana a turn in order to use a Phyrexian Arena, which is pretty unbeatable in terms of consistent card draw.
Elvish Visionary, Wall of Blossoms, and Wall of Omens are three cards I really like in this deck. I don't know if you count them as card draw, but you play them earlier, they usually die and make Karador cheaper, and then you can recast them for some card draw (usually this only have if I have only 2 mana remaining, but still it's card draw)
Also, if you need more early ramp, you could add Yavimaya Granger, another little guy I like a lot in the deck. He gets you mana and then dies by himself so that Karador becomes cheaper, and then you can always recast him every turn for more land. I honestly like the Granger more than Farhaven Elf, but I run both.
Also, Liliana of the Dark Realms might be a good source of early card advantage for you, especially if you put in some of these smaller critters to protect her.
A less obvious choice, but I think the 3/4 Hexproof for 5 is amazing in this format. He stops Rakdos decks in their tracks. Scavenge some counters on him and nothing will touch you.
2.Selesnya I think (even though I also played them). Those 3/3s are hard to race against, and their late game is fantastic too.
3. I took a Jarad's Orders for EDH, though I was drafting Golgari at the time. Sadly, I saw very few money rares in my two drafts.
4. Didn't follow the hype enough to answer this.
5. Idk, maybe Call of the Conclave
6. In both sealed polls I got pretty good rares...I opened nothing in my two drafts. I don't even remember my rares, Growing Ranks was the only pick one rare I took.
7. I was really crowded at 3 day 2, I had 3 Vassal Soul, 2 Centaur Healer, Lyelv Skynight, among others. I also had to high of a curve day two (5 spells over 6 CMC, including a bunch of bombs). I dropped Archon, and was much happier with the deck.
8. Day one Selesnya with Golgari splash for removal and Vraksa the Unseen. Day two Azorious with green for Centaurs and Collective Blessing. Green makes splashing easier with Axebane Guardian. Keyrunes too.
9. Populate, but I'm biased. The spells just seem like blowouts, they have an effect AND you get a centaur/bird. Great card advantage.
10. Forecast and Hellbent were easy to beat. Overload and Replicate are about even, but I didn't like how they did Overload. Populate and Convoke are totally different. I liked scavenge, but dredge is too good.
11. Never saw a guild leader in two days of Pre-Release. My roommate had Rakdos, who was a blowout if the opponent had no answer.
12. Basic lands are BEAUTIFUL.
3. I populated a 1/1 assassin token from Vraska the Unseen. It was wonderful. I was really sad to never get a Guildmage in my colors, those seemed really fun.
I have always loved cards with only one card in their name. The are so elegant and simple, so I decided to make a deck with only one word cards in the deck. There were a couple choices for generals, Progenitus, Atogatog, etc, but I chose Borborygmos because, given his flavor text, I feel like he'd appreciate this simple to scream pile of spells.

There's actually some decent synergy in there, especially with +1/+1 counters. I might add in card descriptions later, but I'd love to hear some feedback on the decklist as is.
