Intro: I haven’t played commander in three years. So this is a very rough draft of a deck list. I think there are cards in this list that probably won’t be good in the format, but honestly I feel rusty and need some help identifying these cards.
Deck idea: Enjoying the morphs of Khan’s limited and thought this could be something fun and somewhat good, as morph has been an ability I’ve always enjoyed. Being a morph deck, Pickles Lock is in the deck: Brine Elemental and Vesuvan Shapeshifter. Trail of Mystery also helps build to one of my favorite spells of all time in magic Skred. Also the Coldsnap Rime duo seems fun as a grindy way to lock someone out in the later game: Rimefeather Owl and Rimescale Dragon.
So I’m terribly unsure of what I am getting into. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for advice/feedback/suggestions. I am somewhat on a budget, I know the mana base isn’t the best, but I don’t have funds for duels or fetches (IIRC the Zendikar fetches that fit this mana base are around 40-50).
Since you're playing green, you might want to throw in a Muraganda Petroglyphs. It turns all your morphs into 4/4's for 3 mana, while it itself only costs 3G. I'm planning on running it in my Mimeo morph deck because it seems really powerful.
Also, Ixidron is just disgusting. Flip all creatures besides him face down? Sure! Did I mention that he gets +1/+1 for each face-down creature on the field? No? Well he does!
And since you're playing red and green, you should really consider throwing in a few cards like Fervor, Hammer of Purphoros, or Fires of Yavimaya to give all of your creatures haste. Hell, since you're playing Temur, you could throw in a Maelstrom Wanderer. I mean, you do have Sarkhan, but in my experience, people just target planeswalkers with a burning passion.
Also, you should think about putting an Ixidor, Reality Sculptor in here. Suddenly, all your morphs cam be flipped face up for 2U. Also, if you decided to play Ixidron, you can follow up with Ixidor and flip your non morphs back up for 3 mana apiece.
Overall, I love the deck idea. I was so psyched when morph came back as a mechanic because I knew people were going to make commander decks out of it. Keep up the good work and keep your opponents guessing.
I simply forgot about Ixidron and Ixidor, Reality Sculpter. Muraganda Petroglyphs seems pretty good. I personally would take Hammer of Purphoros and Fires of Yavimaya. Hammer can produce more colorless creatures for Ghostfire Blade and those tokens don't have abilities so they interact well with the future sight vanilla creature enchantment. Fires is fires. Time to think about some possible cuts. Thanks for the suggestions.
I would think Temur Ascendancy would be a good inclusion along with Fires. A lot of your dudes have 4 or more power, and with the Petroglyphs in play your morphs will give you draw triggers too.

This change points the deck into the direction of Animar right from the start. I like it
