Hi this is my first post 4 years ago my friends brough me from modern to commander and the commander i have built is Sram as he was the first legendary creature i had opened in a pack. Below i have my deck list as well as the moxfield deck list. I know the deck isnt great especially having 35 basica plains instead of utility lands. (excluding land upgrades) i was wondering if anyone could help me fine tune it assuming a budget of 30-50 dollars. you can make any changes you assume necessary ie add creatures remove cards ect. I appreciate the help and i hope you all have an amazing day

[[Slash the ranks]] is a fantastic voltron boardwipe, plus some additional targeted removal like Swords to Plowshares and Generous Gift are always appreciated.
Equipments: A personal favorite piece of equipment for me is [[vorrac battlehorns]] and works great here. Plus if you give Sram menace, he becomes unblockable. [[Robe of stars]] as long as you hold up mana, Sram shouldn't ever die. While on the pricier side, [[Commanders plate]] , having protection from everything but white is great. [[Colossus Hammer]] , [[Basilisk Collar]] and [[Fireshrieker]] are some great equipments. Some token making equipments like Moonsilver spear or inquisitorial rosette could be helpful as your creature count is low. Should total out to less then $30, with half of that just being the plate
I'd also look at swapping some of the 3 mana rocks for 2 mana colorless ones, cause you dont need a lot of white pips cause your lands will handle that. Mind Stone, Arcane Signet, Prismatic Lens, Liquimetal Torque. These arent changes that need to be made, but should help you ramp faster
Chaplains can be an easy swap for Collar cause of the lifelink
Prying Blade can get swapped with a [[Goldvein pick]] if you want the same effect with a cheaper equip cost +1 toughness
I'd say you can take out 1-2 of the Pacifism type enchantments

Of all the things to add, Robe of Stars would be my #1, cause its semi-hexproof+boardwipe protection and losing all your auras/re-equip can put you out of a game

Michiko's Reign of Truth and Nettlecyst is a cheap options if you are looking to get massive damage out of nowhere

#

if you are looking for single target protection, both loran escape and blacksmith skill grant indestructible and hexproof which in turns protects them from boardwipe and single target removal.

#

Brilliant Restoration is a better option than open the vaults. it only targets your own artifact and enchantments rather than everyone

#

i wouldnt add lightning greaves to this deck. there are too many auras, equipments and protection spells that you cant target with greaves

#

the two other mana rock i would add is Decanter of Endless Water and Thought Vessel, your draw can get huge fast and one Reliquary Tower is not enough

#

robe of stars is indeed very strong cause phasing is a strong mechanic in equipment/aura package. you might want to expand and see what other phasing cards are out there as well

ive noticed most sram decks tend to lean towards either mostly equip or mostly auras while i have them split down the middle is that a deck strat i should consider

yeah you can do that to be more consistence and access to other cards. it not a big deal if you decide to split down the middle
