Can you help me balance my Elemental Deck?
So right now I have this list of the things I want: Creatures (26): 4 Mulldrifter 3 Shriekmaw 2 Nova Chaser 2 Supreme Exemplar 4 Incandescent Soulstoke 4 Smokebraider 3 Flamekin Harbinger 2 Reveillark 2 Horde of Notions Spells (16): 4 Lash Out 2 Makeshift Mannequin 3 Crib Swap 4 Nameless Inversion 2 Rite of Consumption Lands (25) : 4 Primal Beyond 8 Mountain 2 Vivid Crag 2 Vivid Creak 2 Vivid Marsh 1 Vivid Meadow 3 Island 3 Swamp Total Cards: 67 As you can see, there's too many in each category. Can you please help me balance this out to 60 cards in the deck?

- your deck is a mess, i suggest just trying to run a different deck.
- You want an aggressive deck, so drop Reveillark. True he can bring back Smokebraiders when he dies, but he costs a lot and usually combos with Mirror Entity and Body Double, you don't need him in an elemental deck. Drop one Shriekmaw and put it in your sideboard. If you are playing against an opponent that plays black creatures or artifact cretures, Shriekmaws ability is ineffective and he's expensive to just be a creature without an ability, but otherwise, you can load up on opponents that play non-black creatures. Drop the Vivid Meadow, 24 lands for a 60 card deck is tops (40%) and you have other ways to make white when you need it. Add another Harbinger, remember, it looks for elemental cards, even Crib Swap, if you need it. With the ability to accellerate mana with the Smokebraider, you may be able to get by on 22 lands, cut 2 mountains. That brings you down to 62 cards, now here's how you play a finisher, don't plan on drawing it, plan on fetching it with a harbinger for when you want to play it, drop 1 Supreme Exemplar and 1 Nova Chaser. If you use a Harbinger to get either and can cast them, if they championed a Harbinger, then if they get destroyed before finishing your opponent, then you can Harbinger for the other when it comes back into play from the championed creature leaving. That's sixty, it's decent on the mana curve and you should have no troubles with mana. Now you need a sideboard. You never know when you'll run into weenies, so some Damnation or Wrath of God, or Hallowed Burials in your sideboard would be good, along with that extra crib swap or unmake if you need removal. Remember, you can have up to 15 cards in your side board, you might want some disenchants or enchantment removal elementals in your side board if they are giving you trouble, Wispmare works fine. Hope this helps, good luck with your deck.
