So my playgroup decided to do a build challenge where we are going to use a regular planeswalker as our commanders.
Choices include Garruk, Apex Predator, Arlinn Kord, Tamiyo, Field Researcher, Garruk, Primal Hunter, Nissa Worldwaker, Nicol Bolas, Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, and....
Chandra Ablaze.
So I have a list, but there is another restriction we placed on the deck: It has to be 10$ budget.
So naturally I decided to make Mono-R Control/Dragonstorm Combo.
Long story short, my list is not in the 10$ range. It's probably between 13-17 (the commander and lands do not count as part of the total cost).
I need help trimming it down! Essentially the deck is based around people not actually really reading Chandra because players assume she's ***** and then I get to ultimate her and cast my graveyard for free.
I like the idea I would totally do Apex Predator. I like Geth's Grimoire for the -2 ability. And thematically Pyromancer's Goggles are on point and get you extra tricks out of your spells. I think they're both under 10.
I like this deck building idea, think I'm going to throw this idea at my meta.
Haha the whole list has to be under 10 total. I could probably cut Scourge of Valkas and Past in Flames to make that happen, but both of those are pretty key, as Scourge makes Dragonstorm outright kill the table. Was just wondering if there were replacements. In that vein, I believe Goggles and Grimoire are at least a dollar.
I like the spells that return themselves because I discard often with this deck,and Kazuul and Chain Reaction cost more than their replacements.
Dragonstorm is all well and good, but extra copies seems helpful. You do have that budget restriction as well. How about something that uses all the rituals and either makes more rituals or creatures? Of course, I am referring to the new toy, indomitable creativity. Blow up a few of your mana rocks (or someone else's really big eldrazi or something) and it turns into more mana rocks (mostly untapped!) or dragons (which you wanted in the first place, right??). If you can squeeze it in, I'd keep past in flames. It's ultra helpful. Failing that, recoup makes a nice substitute.
The problem with Indomitable Creativity is that it requires me to have a lot of creatures on board in order for me to make X a large amount. I only usually have two or three mana rocks out at a time, which means my chance of actually advancing my board seems slim... I like the idea though
