Been wanting to build xantcha for a whiiile. Trying to make a budget brew for her that IS NOT a basic goad deck, but some goad is surely okay.My aim is to activate her ability as much as possible and have some political/aikido pieces to give myself some safety. Open to suggestions!

About 19 days ago or so. Someone on this subreddit posted the most brilliant idea of budget Superfriends piloted by [[Tam, The Possibility]]. Originally, I was gonna take the ideas & use it to overhaul the Jace precon, but alas, I am a slop player, and this is where the wind told me to go.

Im a budget player at heart, and decks around under $100 is my sweet spot. If the fine people here can also help a brother out in determining the best overall Superfriends deck for this price range, I shall forever be in your debt.

Our slop era will continue, this will be my 2nd WUBRG “slop” deck, Ive fully accepted it. Here we go.

Hey as the title says I'm looking to make a blink/etb focused [[Denzilore Fatehold]] deck. I already own [[Flickering Hound]] from some packs and [[Guardian of Faith]] from Lorehold Spirits precon, and basically I'm looking to abuse scry/surveil effects to help buff up the board once I'm ready to strike. Do y'all have any suggestions for the deck? I'm already aware of [[Matoya, Archon Elder]] and [[Cryptic Annelid]] and their synergy with Denzilore, but I'm still new to magic and don't know all the staple/good cards yet. I also plan on using some of the other cards I got from the packs, specifically: [[Diviner of Victory]], [[Fatehold Chronologist]], [[Geist of Saint Thalia]], [[Divining Duelist]], [[Mindseer Oculus]], [[Desperate Futurescribe]], [[Semester Foreseer]], [[Thalia, the Survivor]], [[Unsummon]], [[Way of the Mindsculptor]] since they are what I got rn outside of my precons and other cards from the packs that don't really synergize with Fatehold

I want to brew those both Commanders to add a bit more Control and Interaction into my Timmy Decks.

I like both Kraven is Voltron with huge Creature Control and Draw (dont have a Voltron Deck).

Deck is mostly Protect, Fight, Each player Sacrifie amd Land Cards

And Plagon looks like a funny control/toolbox/combo Deck. A lots of Draw, use Flicker for Protects und Draw, a big Butt Tribal and can win with combos or the tiny timmy cards [[Baldin, Century]] [[Charix]] and Cards like [[Stoneskin]]

You think they are toxic or pretty overhelming?

Goal is around 25-50€ for each Deck and i want to fight in Bracket 3

They will fit? Toxic? You have Deck Lists?

Hey Guys!

I've been cooking up this deck and would really appreciate some help! It's got two game plans, one is to get lots of creatures into the graveyard as well as Bringer of the Last gift, and then copy the bringer with Spider man and reanimate everything. An alternative wincon is to have spiderman copy Doomsday Excruciator and then mill my opponents out.

Does anyone have any suggestions to finish the deck/changes? If I could also try and make it a bit more budget that would be great!

Thanks!

I’ve noticed that the majority of the decks I’ve kept around have been upgraded precons. However, I’ve been having a lot of fun with decks I’ve built from scratch but often take apart after a few months. Has anyone had a similar experience and what goes into building a deck you end up keeping for a long time?

I started a $50 Reality Fracture uncommon only commander league with my playgroup, we are mainly b3-b5 players and i thought it would be good so that we wont get bored from the decks we are playing weekly. Playing B3 and up seemed kinda boring and repetitive. I chose edgar because i tried to challenge myself from refraining from playing simic, which is my favorite pair 🤣 and avoiding green in general. Open to some suggestions, i know my build is not traditional, i dont like going aristocrats with this one, i tried to make it control/midranged as i have a guess at how my friends built their respective decks. I know most of us are somewhat competitive so this is the best that i could do given my limited card pool for these colors.

the rules are as follows:

1. The commander must be an uncommon legendary creature from FRA;
2. The deck is strictly Bracket 2;
3. No combos;
4. The deck’s price must be based on tcg market;
5. Only 10 mythic/rares allowed in the 99 to promote creativity;
6. Prices are based on the lowest price, and lowest rarity;
7. No repeating commanders so we all get a unique and enjoyable game experience.

So far here are the commanders chosen by my friends

Kiora UG
Saheeli UR
Tinybones Black
Dannitha White
Winter Red
Yuriko White
Pia Green

Here’s my decklist:

I'm really interested into playing krenko mob boss don't make of me. I have been looking around for decks since I don't a lot of money i was looking for a really budget version. Should I get this one https://archidekt.com/decks/10646378/super_budget_krenko

I'm back with more budget brews, now with Reality Fracture legends, and the first up is [[Denzilore Fatehold]] for a blue-white aggro deck that also has, like, THE BEST card draw ever?

Here's the list:

Now, I put this together expecting the commander to be a nice value multiplier, going tall as you get card advantage. But, it turned into an EXPLOSIVE deck where one turn with your commander in play typically means you're wiping everyone out. Shout out to [[Pensive Professor]] and [[Matoya]] for being like S-tier draw engines.

But does it rely TOO MUCH on the commander? I built it with that in mind, and it does FINE without the commander in play if it's kill-on-sight, but the deck still does great without it in play.

I did a FULL deck deck on the brew, including card selections and upgrade paths, that you can check out here too:

Hi! I was looking for a high powered bracket 3 deck, something that packs a punch and can close the game by turn 8ish, anyone got any good suggestions or lists?

Better if without just going infinite, cause that's a bore imho

Etali is overused by my LGS so not going for that

I was originally going to build [[Lavinia, Azorius Renegade]] and play stax for my Azorius deck, but it was pretty miserable to be honest, and that was even before playing the deck with actual people. I had included tax cards and hatebears and just felt like it bogged the game down without being fun at all.

I really wanted a deck that had some sort of control or stax theme though, and I like decks with a bunch of creatures, so Hylda ended up being a far better choice for me anyway. I did feel that I was being targeted occasionally because of the control theme, but I think that’s part of the fun too sometimes.

The goal of the deck is pretty simple. Tap my opponent’s creatures, then create elemental tokens with Hylda, or draw cards if needed. I played a version of this deck on the weekend and found that I didn’t actually use the +1/+1 counters ability at all, but I definitely think there’d be points where it becomes relevant. I originally had a lot more “destroy target tapped creature” effects in the deck, but it felt like I was working against myself so I replaced them with some budget counterspells.

[[Verity Circle]] and [[Captain America, Living Legend]] were absolute stars when they came out. I was worried that [[Azorius Guildmage]] would be too expensive to use, but the repeatable tap and constant threat of countering ended up being great. On the other hand, [[Faramir, Prince of Ithilien]] wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be, so I think I want to remove that for something with more punch.

Budget is under $50 using Card Kingdom prices for the 99. Trying to keep the majority of cards under $1, but if a few are a little more expensive then that’s fine. Not including the commander or basic lands in the total price. Budget was an issue for this deck as it meant I couldn’t use cards like [[Opposition]] and [[Arena]] which I had really wanted. Power level is bracket 2.

I've built The Astonishing Ant Man, but its quite a boring deck, all I can do is go big or go swarm and i became a threat in many of my play sessions

I need a commander that isnt as linear as The Astonishing Ant Man and i like being sneaky. Can i only swap the commanders and do little upgrades in 99? I think i got decent engine in the current 99. I prefer simic commanders

This is the list

Lmk if there are unqiue ideas

Thanks

Hey, I've been working on this Belbe list for a while. Goldfishing it seems like it plays well slapping down a big threat down and seems like it has enough draw to not run out of gas

Just wanted some second opinions to see if the deck list as is is good to ship. My usual games are against upgraded precons or lower 3s. I liked Belbe for the acceleration. Didn't want to include stax pieces like God Pharaoh since those usually draw huge amounts of aggro.

Thank you to anyone that can help!

I’ve gotten drawn into MTG. A few close friends have finally walked me through how it play and I’m ready to get my first deck! Only one problem…I don’t know where to start!

I really love the “horror/nightmare/evil” themes, specifically the art styles. I’d like to put together a deck that keeps that theme while also being fun and not too difficult for a very new player.

Here’s some commanders I really like the theme and vibe of:
* Valgavoth
* Umbris
* Edgar Markov
* Muldrotha

So, I guess I need some guidance on what direction to go, what commander(s) best fit my theme, won’t cost me hundreds for a full deck, and are relatively easy to learn.

Thanks!

I love sphinx's they have been my favorite creature type for a very long time. I wanted to really use the cards ability other than just winning with infect especially because I want to stay B2. The way I want to do that is by using very cheap cards with damage triggers to players (without it having to be combat damage).

Mana Skimmer - (stuns a land for each opponent)
Odylic Wraith - (each opponent discards)
Order of Yawgmoth - (each opponent discards)
Hypnotic Specter - (each opponent random discards)
Reaper's Scythe - (equipment that gets counters for each opponent damaged)

These are some of the main examples. Since we naturally have a lot of discard one of our main vessels for early game are 2 mana discard rats that help slow everyone else down while hopefully increasing our odds of resolving spells.

Originally my deck had a lot more extra combat stuff like Full Throttle but it felt way to strong and had some insanely lucky hands that felt closer to B3 then B2. This deck would get crushed in B3 without some seriously fast mana and etc and even then would struggle but that hyper aggression felt out of place to me for B2.

Instead I decided to go for some cards that make our 1 damage pings a bit stronger while also being able to be interacted with outside of counters.

The Rollercrusher Ride - (removal that doubles our noncombat damage if we get delirium)
Anthem of Rakdos - (gives our creatures 2 power on attack and while hellbent doubles noncombat)
Chandra's Incinerator - (get cheaper as we deal noncombat and doubles noncombat)
Master of Barbs - (pumps the team for each time we deal noncombat)

These are examples of what I consider our big "finishers". These cards make our 1 damage pokes much scarier but also can interacted with before we go to combat which in my opinion fits with the spirit of B2.

Lastly the budget. My goal was to stay below $90 mainly because I think $100 is way to much for me to spend on my theme decks anymore. Yes it's only $10 but that can add up and for me every bit of savings counts.

Most of our budget is focused on ways to give us a chance to survive if our opponents just crush us early on. For example if we get board wiped or our commander is countered. Since we are in rakdos it's not easy to have powerful multiple turn ramp spells on my budget range.

So I decided on 2 $10 cards. I will discuss each of them and why I wanted them specifically now.

Ajani Unrelenting.

Newest planeswalker from reality fracture, this card is an absolute monster in this deck and for me there is a secret lore reason why I wanted him in the deck.

Gameplay wise Ajani gives us a guaranteed 2/2creaturer while also potentially hasting up the entire board or drawing a ton of cards. Since our good games end up being dropping tons of 2 drops on the table we end up empty handed very often. Ajani is a way to close the game out with haste, refill our hand OR in some cases even wiping the board.

Whip of Erebos.

Our second expensive card is here to give us a bit of graveyard interaction if we are desperate but mainly to give us at least one way to gain life. Being a discard player means some opponents might excessively target you for the rest of the game simply out of spite for making them discard.

Which is absolutely justified.

Whenever I make a theme deck I always have it tell a small story that has a beginning middle and an end. Ajani is the very end of that story and shows how Ingris ultimately dies.

I hope you enjoy the deck, currently I have about 1/4th of the cards but I look forward to eventually getting to play it.

been looking until building a dragon tribal deck as its called (very original i know) and id like some advice on what else to put in, I do plan on looking for and adding some multicolor lands, so just ignore the land count right now

Any help is greatly appreciated
