A world where 3 colour decks are the norm and the land base for said decks exceeds $100. If you can throw $80 at a $20 deck in standard right now and make it even fairly competitive, that's good going.
Anyways...
Mizzium mortars is pretty good in the current meta. RDW struggles against creatures with 4 toughness and mortars makes them go away.
Burning-tree Emissary Is also great because it lets you vomit your hand onto the table.
Both of these would be a help to it, I always have a hard time with the Angels and such.
I just thought it would belong here since I did set a budget. But yes I see what you mean. I remember when I first started like 4 years ago none of my decks was over $30
What are the Thought Scour for? You aren't milling your opponent and you don't really benefit from milling yourself. Is it just for the 1 power instant cantrip for Talrand? If that is the case then I think Fleeting Distraction would be a better option for you. I also think that Runechanter's Pike would be a good fit here even if you only ran 1 or 2.
I can agree with that. Maybe 2 of that and 2 of the pike. Yes, that was what it was for. Other than that what do you think?
I always liked the U/B control type of decks. I feel like with work this one could be a good one
I had a deck similar to this before my venture away from MTG that went top eight almost every week at fnm so I thought I'd try and recreate it. Any thoughts.
Oh, U/G dredge too! Ghoultree for G is quite awesome.
This is true. I love sennding about 7 or more Wolfs their way with the Kessig Cagebreakers too. It's so fun because even if they do kill something it just feeds a bigger something.
I'm thinking that it would be better to cut the junky creatures + inaction injuction and add stuff list Forbidden Alchemy, Chronic Flooding and Unburial Rites. Maybe I am biased towards graveyard strategies right now because I've been playing Rites but just my two cents, if anyone is interested I'll draw up a list.
This seems like a great jumping off point, the first competitive deck I ever piloted was very similar to this. White Weenie for the win! I suggest you try this, and if you have any problems with it, like you can't beat X, or X always happens to you, come to me and I'll help you tune it to be better
Thank you, it added up to right at $20. I will try it. I think I'll name it "The Weenie Stomp "
Basically the deck is just get as many creatures out as possible and smash face. The deck looks pretty cheap maybe even under the $20 mark.
I actually think it looks pretty cool.
It's pretty similar, although I think that Lightning Mauler is going to be better than Shred Freak most of the time, especially if you don't have Hellrider (you can pair Hound with Lightning Mauler).
Stonewright plus first strikers are really good. People have been playing around with Hound for quite awhile. It's good, just arguably worse than Hellrider.
I ordered the deck. I got it because RDW seemed the most competitive in my price range. I have Rakdos Shred Freaks and Stonewrights so I will test with both.
I know there is RDW and I had my heart set on the Monowhite aggro but I can't swing the hefty price for the paladins and with my hours cut at work I cant afford as much as initially thought, but anyway during my time playing magic I have used red aggro in 3 different decks, I was going to run it this time too but I've got a hair to try something new. I have a U/G dredge that I tested with and it's speed and consistency isnt up there with my friends G/W token or and it doesnt handle my other friends control. So I was wandering if there is a affordable aggro deck that is a mono color besides RDW, White, rats. I can go maybe 40. Sorry for the trouble guys, but I'm sure yall understand, you wouldnt want to lose in the group of friends or play a deck you are tired of.
Both of these would be a help to it, I always have a hard time with the Angels and such.
Here is the list atm.
4x Stromkirk Noble
4x Gore-house Chainwalker
4x Lightning Mauler
4x Rakdos Cackler
3x Stone Wright
3x Hound of Griselbrand
4x Brimestone Volley
4x Searing Spear
But I was thinking about making it something like this
4x Ash Zealot
4x Stromkirk Noble
4x Lightning Mauler
4x Rakdos Cackler
4x Hellrider
3x Boros Reckoner
4x Brimestone Volley
4x Searing Spear
Any other suggestions? I can spend maybe 80 dollars more to the deck I have now.
It went 2-3 with 2 Very close games.
I think I need to make some changes to it.
4x Stromkirk Noble
4x Rakdos Cackler
4x Lightning Mauler
4x Gore-House Chainwalker
3x Stonewright
3x Hound of Griselbrand

3 Stonewright
4 Rakdos Shred-Freak
4 Ash Zealot
4 Gore-House Chainwalker
3 Hound of Griselbrand
4 Pillar of Flame
4 Brimstone Volley
How would this decklist compare to one that uses lightning mauler and hellrider? I saw the stonewright and hound together as a good idea.
4 Doomed Traveler
4 Elite Inquisitor
3 Precinct Captain
4 Knight of Glory
4 Fiend Hunter
3 Angel of Jubilation
4 Oblivion Ring
3 Arrest
I saw this list in the budget forum aswell. Has anyone tried it?
But what would be and updated list. I took alot of interest in the idea.
