My only budget is a restriction I place on all of my EDH decks, spending no more than $20.00 on any single card, meaning no original duals or onslaught fetches. I am going to end up breaking down and getting a Survival of the Fittest. I am still debating on Crucible of Worlds, mainly because Wasteland is out of my price range. Still, I am considering it though. Aside from those two, I do plan to follow my budget rule.
Aside from the basics, one little thing of note I had been testing was Undercity Informer[/deck]. I still haven't gotten a Survival of the Fittest just yet, so I was playing Fauna Shaman, but had trouble getting her online. She seemed too slow and since my playgroup put a target on her head, that didn't help matters at all. Considering with Karador at the helm, my graveyard might as well be my hand, I opted to give this guy a try. He goes under the radar and while might not be as good as Fauna Shaman or Hermit Druid, he can mill quite a bit as a mana sink at the eot before my untap. While I like what he does, he will probably be cut once I get a Survival.
I tend to like spike weaver more than spore frog myself. Where's your Mikaeus the Uhallowed? He's perfect in this deck! Which brings me to Birthing Pod, the initial building around it is worth how amazing that card is. Slum reaper is second Fleshbag marauder. Miren, the moaning well could be a good sac outlet for you. Wood elves/farhaven elf could be some ramp for you. Decree of Pain is a phenomenal board wipe. I really dislike Thragtusk in EDH, you might get more value out of it than me though. Green sun only tutors for 11 creatures in your deck and besides acidic slime none of then are terrific utility. You can take a look at my list on my sig if you'd like.

sylvan primordial your running green you should run him. The number of games I've reanimated him turn 2-3 and just won the game is ridiculous entomb it is on the edge of your budget but I inganed you could find it under 20 krosan grip deals with RIP decently and deals with relic an crypt very well doomed necromancer seems bad considering he takes a whole turn to go around entomber exarch a bad disentomb is bad. Paying 4 to bring a creature to hand seems bad. acidic slime it's not a card that's particularly worth recurring especially when you can just play terastodon and sylvan primordial 5 or 6 times instead. I would only play him after your playing the other two.

I disagree. Acidic Slime goes in any deck with G. Terastodon isn't going to help you on turn five when you need to blow up a gaea's cradle or die to elves. It's a rattlesnake with a very versatile ETB trigger. Sylvan Primordial is an auto-include in this kind of deck but cutting Acidic Slime would be a huge mistake.
I prefer Qasali Pridemage over acidic for more general removal, but Acidic can't be beat if you need to blow some problem lands or lock someone out of a color.
Sylvan Primordial is an auto-include in this kind of deck but cutting Acidic Slime would be a huge mistake.
I just want to point out that Sylvan isn't an auto include. I haven't added him to my deck at all because of the huge mana cost. He doesn't work with Sun Titan or Reveillark, and while his ramping is nice my deck doesn't actually need the ramp. I'd rather go with something that I can utilize in a combo that is cheaper, in case I have to hardcast it. So, ultimately, Acidic Slime or Archon of Justice is my preference for this slot.
With that said, I'd switch the Angel of Despair for the Sylvan.
