Can this $15 dollar standard deck handle a friday night magic event? Is it strong enough to handle the hundred dollar decks used by some? Comment below and share your thoughts.
Hey clownstabber,
Thank you for your advice. I'm having some trouble making a decision on what budget deck to buy because there are so many different kinds and I'm not sure which I should buy. I'm hoping not to spend too much over $30. I'd like either a green and blue deck or green and black. If you think a green and black deck would be best I'll totally try it out. I'm going to a fnm event and I'm hoping to have a deck to compete with. Thank you for all the advice you're giving me.
I totally understand feeling frozen because of so many options, lol. Especially with budget decks, you can basically do anything you want; it's a bit of an embarassment of "riches". Oh god, puns. Any way, yeah try green/black, it's definitely a good deck. Don't expect it to do all the work for you though, budget decks especially reward tight play. Since many people will have decks with more powerful cards, you have to do your best to beat your opponent yourself without having your deck do it for you. Best of luck, let me know how it goes.
This list comes from my budget deck thread in this forum. Since you're looking at a budget of $30 or so, we can cut the Traverse the Ulvenwalds and Ishkanah, Grafwidow for some less expensive options. Pilgrim's Eye is great as an emerge target for Distended Mindbender which also fuels delirium. Gather the Pack is also very good at fueling delirium, and does a (somewhat?) similar thing to Traverse, so probably just add 2 Pilgrim's Eyes and 2 Gather the Packs and call it a dayI haven't done any sideboard work, but I wouldn't worry about it too much (for now). Just jam some conditional cards in the sideboard that you can bring in or something.
Ultimate Price is standard legal. You can always cut the Duskwatch Recruiters for more Pilgrim's Eye and Gather the Pack; that card is like $2.50. Additionally, when it's too expensive just cut lands for slightly worst lands; in this case, cut Hissing Quagmire for either basic lands or more Evolving Wilds, since it's like #3.50-$4.00. Basically, just cut expensive cards for less expensive cards until it works, lol.
Do you have any tips on how to play the deck? Like what's my goal, what should I hope to draw. Also, how do I know whether I should switch my cards from my sideboard into my deck.

First, you need to post the deck with deck tags. use {Deck="Deck Name"] and {/deck] to do so. (Replace the { with [ )
Gnarlwood Dryad is extremely powerful, so that is the first card I'd recommend. Second, Grapple with the Past and Gather the Pack are absurdly good at fueling graveyards for value. These are easily better than vessel of paramnesia and fork in the road. Finally, try Deathcap Cultivator; since you have some 4-drops and 5-drops, having access to some mana ramp is quite important.
Possible list:
4 Gnarlwood Dryad
4 Duskwatch Recruiter
4 Deathcap Cultivator
3 Inexorable Blob
4 Soul Swallower
3 Geralf's Masterpiece
2 Terrarion
4 Gather the Pack
4 Vessel of Nascency
4 Grapple with the Past
4 Evolving Wilds
6 Island
10 Forest
To be honest, black seems like a much better splash than blue, to have access to Distended Mindbender, Ultimate Price and Haunted Dead.
Hope this helps! Good luck.
