Notes
 
Been using this at CMDR night for a while now (off and on) and it's pretty consistent - you can usually count on getting Kadena on the table and drawing some cards and what-not. The last time I played it I did come to the realization that there isn't much of a real win-con. I'll keep investigating to see what would fit there.
This is also not an accurate list, so it needs some going-over and updating. We'll see if I can get it fixed and whether it qualifies as "budget" anymore. (Spoiler: I hope it does, because it's fun to play.)

----------Old Notes----------
Bought the precon from TCGPlayer, and I'm excited to give this a run-out. There are obviously built-in weaknesses when it comes to precons, so I bought several other cards as recommended by EDHREC. Just waiting for the country to thaw out so that the stuff can be delivered now.

A morph deck is certainly different from anything else I've played before, as it's very tricksy and should be quite a bit more complex to play. It will not be a deck that is going to be easy to goldfish with, I wouldn't think, as there is a lot of reaction going on regarding when to flip things and how to manage resources for that.

I think that there are too many lands; the Chulane deck is nowhere near this land-heavy and playing lands is a big part of the way that one works. Once the deck is here, and I can fiddle with it, I'll hopefully be able to get more of a feel for how much land is needed. 40 just seems too much for EDH. I run 35 in Tayam and haven't had issues with mana, really. Of course Tayam has a built-in, repeatable source of ramp, but still.

I'm going to wander through my inventory and see if there's anything else that I've got sitting around that seems like it might be helpful, too.

    Also: Mystic Reflection. It is the coolest. A huge rush when someone taps out to drop some bomb and you can be like, nah, it's a morph instead. Just magnificent.

      MR even shuts down ETB effects, just as a reminder. It's the best.
