this is a remake of a quite crappy thread i made earlier, first thread and all.
so i am wanting to create a commander deck with blue and green. the deck is also euh, hypothetical. it is an idea. i don't and for a long time won't have the physical cards.
i do have a possibly pretty thight budget of 100 euro
now for the rest i am no very good deckbuilder
but i do have a general idea of how the deck should work out playing.
i want some good manaramp first of all.
strong, cost efficiënt creatures
and also a few good control spells like temporal adept 73 cents and plasm capture 35 cents
i also have interest in doing some of those fun spells like MindSlaver 4.40 temporal mastery 4.00 as foretold 7.00 defenitely going in as well.
also have my eyes on. also elite arcanist 0.40
possibly telepathy as it would help me to know where and when to save a counterspell for?
also clones might be usefull and/or fun.
that is basicly all my ideas that would be nice in the deck imo.
also to note. the other 2 i play with on a regular basis both have a saskia the unyielding deck(a.k.a many many super strong creatures and much much damage). (yes... both... and yes... i know)
and one of those to is extremely buffed with cards like iroas, god of victory in it. the other one is stock though.
i also look mostly look negative towards the evolve ability
After that you can basically do whatever you want. You can take a look at the Top 50 Thread which lists the most popular/best creatures and spells for each color (scroll down to the second post in the thread). That will give you some good ideas about how to round out the rest of your list. Just pick and choose whatever catches your eye and is within your budget.
well my commander basicly says: whenever unused mana is in your manapool, you may save the mana to use in a future step or turn. rendering mana vault completely usseless
sol ring is an auto in commander decks imo. just like all the other cards you find in littarly all premade commander decks. (skullclamp, commander's sphere etc.) nissa's renewal i will add to the list though simic signet? meh elvish mystic il probably play. skyshroud claim, hell to the yes
o yeah now i think about it, any cards that lower mana cost of spells? i have one that lowers the cost of white spells by one in my forged in stone deck, i assume there is a variant for each color. but any that does both green and blue or even all?
Seedborn Muse is great with Kruphix's mana retention ability.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Seedborn Muse is great with Kruphix's mana retention ability.
little expensive at 24.00
i think one of the cards on the list does the same thing though
Nothing else untaps all permanents during each untap step.

Oh you youngsters who do not know your history, you all need a good awakening.
That's nice, but it untaps them all. So, it's worthless in a lot of the decks I play Seedborn Muse in (Stax decks with a tapdown subtheme, e.g. Winter Orb, Meekstone).

There are cost reducers for both spells and activated abilities. A few can be useful while most are not as good as normal artifact or green mana ramp.
