Is there a possibility for BRW Midrange alternatives in budget? With decklists running Olivia Voldaren, Ozbedat, the Ghost Council and other assorted high-value cards, I feel like it isn't a viable color combination if you aren't willing to drop the cash. Anyone see any alternatives?
definitely trying to keep with the budget here, so snapcaster is out unless anyone would like to donate a few I'd also rather not play just a cookie cutter ur legacy list. I've seen the top lists, but honestly just out of preference for a small budget and more uniqueness I'd like to try other decklists
the reason for tibalt is that he's an early noncreature.(hence removal-proof) threat for tthem to deal with. additionally, his +1 not only improves general card quality of my hand but sets up Pyromancer Ascension
Decklist I've been playing around with, thinking about adding the contaminations in. I'm kind of on a budget but any suggestions or comments are welcome!
Basically you just play it aggro beatdown vamps, with Bloodline Keeper+Contamination as a secondary win condition.
(I'm actually missing the Sword of Fire and Ices and the Contaminations from my deck irl, so this is all just theory of what I'd like to do from proxy playtesting it)
