Newer player I'm looking for something I can play in a casual commander setting that's still high power

I built this and its pretty high functioning for my budget of ~250, 300
any suggestions on what to improve ?

Galadriel +1/+1 counters? Pretty sick deck. I've played against a Galadriel deck very recently, but their deck was built more around flooding the board, and also finding ways to make guys on other player's turns. That's probably what you could explore into, the ability to make creatures on your opponents turn ontop of yours
Personally I wouldn't really recommend playing either Ghalta in the deck, I feel like you could be doing more +1 counter synergies like cards that add additional counters, the ones that come to mind are mainly [[Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion]], [[Kami of Whispered Hopes]], [[Pir, Imaginative Rascal]]
Creature — Spirit
If one or more +1/+1 counters would be put on a permanent you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are put on that permanent instead.
: Add X mana of any one color, where X is Kami of Whispered Hopes's power.
Nashi knelt reverently before the kami and envisioned his family reunited.
1/1
Legendary Creature — Human
Partner with Toothy, Imaginary Friend (When this creature enters, target player may put Toothy into their hand from their library, then shuffle.)
If one or more counters would be put on a permanent your team controls, that many plus one of each of those kinds of counters are put on that permanent instead.
1/1
[[Faerie Artisans]] Is the only guy i have that really makes stuff on other peoples turns, I will definitely look into taking more advantage of that
You could also look into cards that give your creatures flash
[[Vivien, Champion of the Wilds]] is a good one, and the most recently printed [[Kianne, Corrupted Memory]] works super well with +1 counter strategies
Legendary Planeswalker — Vivien
You may cast creature spells as though they had flash.
+1: Until your next turn, up to one target creature gains vigilance and reach.
−2: Look at the top three cards of your library. Exile one face down and put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. For as long as it remains exiled, you may cast it if it's a creature spell.
Loyalty: 4
You could also play cards that Proliferate, since you're playing Danny Pink, a potentially super powerful combo with him is [[Dreamtide Whale]]. I've pulled these two off in a game with my Ms. Bumbleflower deck, and I was drawing 7-10 cards per rotation
Creature — Whale
Vanishing 2 (This creature enters with two time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter from it. When the last is removed, sacrifice it.)
Whenever a player casts their second spell each turn, proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
7/5
I have the ghaltas bc of my [[Rishkars expertise]] and [[Last march of the ents]] and other tutory stuff, they are a semi consistent wincon
Fair, and I understand that, but I feel like if you lean hard enough into the +1 counter strategy, they themselves are a win-con because your deck can go wide and tall
viviens really cool, more options on opponents turn would definitely do well in this deck
but if you feel they're appropriate for the deck, more power to you!
im still learning what wincon to lean into, ill definitely look into the +1 synergy
If you decide to lean into the +1 counter synergies, I would recommend cutting the elf tribal stuff, I don't think the deck runs enough to truly snowball with them
but you'd have to do some testing to see if that's true or not, I could be wrong
when i playtest the synergy is decent bc of some niche cards in there, but I'm gonna draft a different version of the deck that leans into the +1s and each upkeep theme more, I've seen people do blink to try and go infinite with her but that doesnt rly interest me
Understandable, I think you'll really like the +1 counter strategy, the only thing is that it's annoying to keep track of haha
Galadriel could also go tokens if that's something you'd like more, plenty of cards make tokens on your opponents turns
yea if i cut the elf tribal theres lots of options for token making like [[Arasta]]
[[charismatic conquerer]]
Token strategies are a little bit more expensive though
so if you wanna stay more on the budget side, +1 counters would be my recommendation
trying to stay under $350 ish lol, wish i could throw a great henge in this one but shit is wildly expensive
Another cool card you could play is [[Basking Broodscale]]
Creature — Eldrazi Lizard
Devoid (This card has no color.)

: Adapt 1. (If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, put a +1/+1 counter on it.)
Whenever one or more +1/+1 counters are put on Basking Broodscale, you may create a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature token with "Sacrifice this creature: Add
."
2/2
words very similarly to your tree that makes squirrels
nice I didnt realize there was so much synergy with counters, I think one of my first decks was [[Zaxara]] and havent played a ton of it since then
Zaxara kinda has a notorious reputation for going infinite with cards like [[Freed from the Reel]]
yea it was too combo-y for me to really enjoy when i first started lol
lol but thanks man, ill draft a +1 theme and compare, galadriel was a cool find for me
Unblockable guys go brrrr
yea I had some trample effects but simple evasion like that probably works even better huh, very cool
Godspeed my +1/+1 counter brethren, I wish you luck in your endeavours
[[damning verdict]] prolly big
thanks man gl to you too
there's also [[Wave Goodbye]]
that art rocks
how I wish it was in foil le sigh
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/RG5QIuXRJ0y0VfX8AFW-9w this deck is broken, no infinites but consistently strong by turn 5/6, ready to win by turn 7/8 everytime
Did you keep the Elf Tribal or switch to +1 counters
I added some more token makers that trigger on each upkeep, fixed some landbase issues and dropped a little bit of elf tribal for some +1+1s, still keeping some elf because theres 6 or 7 in there that are just too good like [[arwen weaver of hope]] [[wolverine riders]] etc. Also changed some sorceries that had creature type text
[[toren fist of angels]] is a good card to consider
in its mana cost, create a 0/0 green Hydra creature token, then put X +1/+1 counters on it.
: Tap enchanted creature.
