![]() The idea is to stall out until you somehow manage to get in enough damage. So this deck relies upon the fact this cardpool does in fact have 12 fogs - Fog, Tangle, and Dawn Charm. It was the basic lands that made it look like it was much more expensive. Plugging it into various websites shows me the actual price is something around 9.00 to 11.00 USD, which is honestly not bad for its intended use.ĮDIT: So I revisited this deck and it turns out it costs a whopping 2.28 USD as of this post. It's not exactly the best aggro deck out there and any deck that is even slightly fast manages to run it over, but when it gets going, I think it manages just find. Obviously, this deck has some pretty clear upgrades it could use - Eager Construct and Runed Servitor could probably be swapped out for better artifact creatures, and Burn the Impure is quite possibly one of the worst shock variants out there. I'd been scratching my head for a while on it until I remembered something a friend had built during Kaladesh Sealed: The one under $20 deck I have is from a few years back when I was trying to make a deck out of cards I could get for 0.03 USD or less, not counting lands (the condition was "cheapest deck possible" so I started at 0.01 USD cards and worked my way up). Honestly I wish I had more time to figure out interesting jank combos - most of the time I end up sticking with following the budget limit or the tribal restriction I've put on myself. I might either of those decks it next time I can sit down with a friend to play. When playing budget decks and with newer players I've found one of the most common topics is struggling to get a good manabase and avoid bad land draws without the power of fetches so it could be quite the surprise to put down at the table. Wheel effects seems like a neat way to take advantage of those "draw second card" type effects and I'm a big fan of Mill Forest as well. ![]() I kinda want to share some of the decks I actually enjoy that have fallen out of this. I have enough of the damn things floating around that I can wave the cost there. I'm a Jimmy at heart, so the decks are usually built around some kinda gimmick.Ĥ) Basic lands don't count towards my budget. kinda failed here - most of the decks I've slapped together are either part or part " style="max-width:100% "].ģ) The decks should be goofy fun. If I decide to go back into paper magic, I should be able to pick one of them up without too much down-payment.Ģ) I have to break out of my comfort zone and build decks that aren't just " style="max-width:100% "]. So recently I decided to try to bash together some budget decks, with the following requirements:ġ) The whole thing needs to cost less than $20. On the other hand, they cost nothing, so it's really easy to get carried away and just toss in a bunch of $20 mythics. One of the strengths of Cockatrice is that the cards cost nothing - I could build myself a $1000 deck, test it out, discover that I don't like it, and throw it away without any guilt or wallet pains. ![]() I retired from paper magic a while ago, and so I've mostly fiddled with decks in Cockatrice. Go wild with your weirdest jank! - ZephyrPhantom ![]() EDIT: Trying this thread out with the Budget limitation as optional. ![]()
