I've been playing magic for a while, and my decks are okay, but I am looking to make some more fun and effective decks, I really enjoy control and burn. My budget is $100 or $150 if I really like the deck. If any of you have suggestions, they would be welcomed.
It depends on what you want to play. If you’re talking standard, $100 should be enough for a solid competitive deck. If you’re talking about modern or legacy, that budget is going to be tough.
If you’re looking at EDH, you could probably make 2, if not 3 decent decks with that money as long as you’re willing to run cheap tapped lands. Most of my commander decks were in the $20-$50 range when I built them, and have just expanded with draft chaff and other random collection building purchases.
Sorry I wasn't specific, I would like the deck to be modern legal. As for colors, I pretty much enjoy them all but I like the combinations red and blue or black and green, sometimes azourius too. I think a blue white control or a red blue burn/aggro deck would be great, I just don't know where to start.
Its about 150 without the board. There are small substitutions that can be made to further reduce price, but I would be prepared to spend at least that much, and more for a solid board (probably about 200 total) if you want to be competing at the highest level. Keep in mind, the vast majority of these cards are modern staples, and will be playable in many other decks.
Another deck i'd consider is UR Gifts Storm. It can be built on a budget for a similar amount, most expensive portion being the duals, which can be made cheaper by playing a lot of Shivan Reef, etc.
Both of these are definitely capable of taking games off top tier decks when piloted well. If you play on MTGO, both of these decks can be purchased for less than 100 Tickets, and are well within your budget.
Thank you in advance.
