    I've posted here before, but after playing burn for a few months on MODO, I wanna play a more elaborate Midrange deck.

    Favorite Playstyle: midrange/creature combo
    How Competitive: Daily Grinding and maybe PTQs
    Favorite Colors: White is first, red and green are tied for 2nd, and black is not far behind at third.
    Favorite Cards: Hero of Bladehold, Thalia, Rancor, Lightning Bolt, Lingering souls, Champion of the Parish, Huntmaster of the fells
    Budget: Less than 200$ (on MODO)
    Staples Owned: A full burn deck minus the fetches and all the cheap parts of bogle (all but fetches, shocks, and daybreak)

    Kiki pod looks amazing, but I can't get it any more budget friendly without it absolutely sucking for less than 300 dollars. Same with Melira. Hatebears looks fun, but altogether too slow. BW Tokens seems interesting, but with Jund's downfall (I know it's still good, but it's no longer 40% of the field) and the fact it is slow makes me reluctant.

    I think you might like Tron, it's hard to say exactly when you leave yourself open. I think you'd like roughly half the format, haha. Since you don't like blue, it's just RG Tron you have to consider. I think you know what the deck is, ramp into Tron and play cards like Karn, Wurmcoil, and Mindslaver. Top out with Emrakul and you've got a deck. Getting Karn or Wurmcoil into play on turn 3-4 is pretty powerful in this format. It has a bit of a problem with combo, but not much we can really do about that given that it's a colourless deck.


    Thank you for your responses! I think I'm gonna do Tron as my first deck!

    There's a lot of different things you can play, since you left yourself wide open. The fact of the matter is, you seem to know the format well, and aren't sure exactly what you want to play. You also have a solid enough budget for just about anything.

    Clearly Infect and Pod are something you're interested in, I won't discuss them other than remember that there's two versions of Pod, and one of them ideally splashes blue (which I don't think you would complain about in terms of not liking blue).

    You might also like the Dredgevine aggro/combo deck, it's pretty sweet. It uses things like Faithless Looting with cards like Gravecrawler, Dredgevine, and Bloodghast. Add in some spells, some Goblin Bushwackers, and you've got a deck. Pretty interesting, worth looking into.

    There's also Affinity and RDW, Affinity is a very solid deck in the format, and is cheaper than most decks in the format.



    I've heard Dredgevine is dying due to all of the graveyard hate available to the format. My friend plays affinity and we prefer to play different decks, because we can always play each other's deck. My first choice is currently Tron, do you think it fits my description pretty well? I also like infect, but full on infect costs a bit out of budget, while Tron is under budget.

    Thanks for the response and your time!

    Favorite Playstyle: Aggro, Midrange, Some combo (aka infect/pod style combo, not scapeshift/storm combo)

    How Competitive: Local (very competitive) tournaments

    Favorite Cards/Colors: Everything except blue, but especially white and green.

    Budget: under 400, the cheaper the better.

    Staples: nothing? I have Temple Gardens, Thalia, and a single restoration angel.


    (I don't want to play GW Hatebears because I heard it sucked against anything that's not Jund or Tron)
