I'm going to a pretty casual extended tournament next week and I'm trying to build around the few staples I have for extended right now. I only buy packs when I draft, which isn't that often so I don't have much for the format. The staples I own for the format are,
4x scalding tarn
4x grim lavamancer
4x green sun's zenith
1x knight of the reliquary
1x basilisk collar
1x noble hierarch
1x birds of paradise
And that's basically it... . The only place I can buy singles from and get them in time sells all their junk rares for $4 dollars a piece, so the only rares I'd really want to buy would have to be between 4-6 I'm thinking. The deck will mostly be commons and uncommons, I'm really not sure what would be the best route to go on a tight budget. I made up a GW aggro list that wouldn't cost too much to build, or I could go for a more control style UR with trinket mage, lavamancer, brittle effigy and basilisk collar.
What are some solid budget cards for either of these decks?
I could order cards online but it'd be risking not getting them in time. I live in Nova Scotia Canada, things usually take twice as long to get here. After looking at both the lists I made for the two different decks, I have to say UR control looks a lot more fun, I'll only need a few commons and uncommons to make a playable version too.
Hoping I'll be able to pick up some pyromancer ascensions before the tournament though, I hadn't really considered it for a deck. It looks like it would be really fun to use. Thanks for the help.
Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
I'll probably drop the axe, but the collar with lavamancer or inferno titan is awesome. It's going to be a aggro heavy meta and being able to pick off their creatures like that will definitely be useful.
