Kenrith - Mana & Ramp Only* Deck

Just started playing Magic a few months ago, I went from the Clavileño Blood Rites Precon, to a Budget Questing Beast net deck, but wanted to change it up after just rotating between those 2 decks every time I played. So this is my first time attempting to build a deck of my own while trying to keep it as cheap as possible.
I was looking at [[Kenrith, the Returned King]] and thought, with my limited mtg know-how, that any mana spent not using his abilities is a waste, leading to thinking of I took all of the land and ramp I owned and I could build a deck by only buying one card! It ended up being 2 after researching Kenrith and seeing many decks use [[Zirda, the Dawnwaker]]as a Companion to bring Kenrith’s costs down. The only other creature I added was [[PuPu UFO]] because I had it and it would allow me to play 2 lands a turn.
To my surprise, it performs better than my previous 2 decks! With a focus on Forests to pump Kenrith up and the occasional Plains for Lifegain, he can become quite the threat. This deck also lends itself to the Politically inclined if you wanna make deals for buffs at your table, which comes in handy to buy yourself time.
With what I had on hand this deck ended up being a bracket 2, but what I like is depending on how much your budget is and/or what lands you already have there are a lot of viable options for this deck to improve it. But honestly if all you had was basic lands, Kenrith, and Zirda it can be a potential threat. So if you have land laying around or feel like cannibalizing what you got for a change of pace like I did, this is a pretty fun option. Also, It is pretty nice not having to worry about bricking!
