My playgroup mostly plays THG. I have a BUW artifact deck I am working on for this, while he wants to do BGR. However, Neither of us have seen a good BGR deck. Any thoughts? The budget is not too tight but nothing unreasonable. My BUW is mostly control and uses Master Transmuter to play most creatures. Any ideas for the BGR? And if you have any suggestions for my BUW feel free to add them.
For your BUW artifact deck you'll want to add Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek. It's a cheap 2 card combo that will give you team of ton of resilience and power, especially if you have something like Academy Ruins kicking around to recur the Foundry if needed.
As for the Jund (BRG) deck that your friend will be playing, I would personally play a "burn" deck filled with cards such as Breath of Malfegor, Exsanguinate, Earthquake (and/or Fault Line) and even Hurricane (and/or Squall Line). Basically your deck would give your team a bunch of life and chump blockers, and his deck would truck people to death in 2-3 spells (they all do "double" damage in 2HG setting after all). I guess the biggest issue with Earthquake is that is kills your transmuter though, so maybe you'd be better off with other cards instead. As far as creatures for his deck are concerned, I'd probably use some rampers such as Sakura-Tribe Elder, Yavimaya Elder and Solemn Simulacrum and then just finish the deck off with some nice fatties. Squallmonger, Warmonger, Magma Phoenix, Massacre Wurm, Grave Titan, Taurean Mauler, Forgotten Ancient, Multani, Maro-Sorcerer, Wurmcoil Engine, Xathrid Demon all come to mind.
