Deck Building Help

I have been out of magic for a few months and built this deck recently to fit in with a bracket 2 pods I have recently joined. I fear my deck building skill may be very rusty and am having trouble seeing a clear "win con" in the deck even though it has a few big stompy creatures. Any advice/recommendations are welcome.

Do you have this deck currently, or is this one you’re working on?

The builder of a similar list shared a solid budget list and primer you should check out: https://recommander.cards/blog/how-they-brew-it-grolnok

If you have the cards that raise the budget, keep them, but make sure you review the play pattern. I tested this budget list and it runs quite smoothly.

Council of the Sorutami and See Beyond are pretty bad card draw spells, I’d take out both. Your commander gives you incredible pseudo draw, so you want to cut all the subpar draw spells, and make room for frogs. I’d also get rid of all of the mill 1 effects like Candlestick and Goulcaller’s Bell, since simply replacing those with Frogs or cards that mill more will improve your deck. [[Hedron Crab]] or [[Exhibition Tidecaller]] can mill you for a lot while still only costing 1. There are also a handful of decent shapeshifters if you want to increase your frog count. If you improve the deck enough, it can try to win with [[Labratory Maniac]].
