Oct 28, 2014Agent of Bolas posted a message on Casual Castle: Deathtouch Pingers Part 1Man, -spooky- I always enjoy your articles and use them as a baseline to build new decks. Never like to use exact deck lists because it's always nice to have your own idea, but it's always an enjoyment to read. Budget decks that are solid and fun are what keep me playing MTG after 15+ years. If I can spend $20 on a deck that will hold its own against my friends' $100 decks, I'm have a great time. Keep it up, can't wait for the next article.Posted in: Articles

Rafiq and probably Ajani for starters.
I know that it is 65 cards and I don't have much of a desire to change that, it's generally just how we generally play. Also, other than a handful of commons, I already have all these cards (or will have in trades) so any suggestions, I'd like to keep them inexpensive. I would like to swap a Stone Rain out for a third Ice Storm when I can find one.

Voting to remove Mul Daya Channelers. I liked the idea at the time, but now, I feel like it's time to let it go.
Voting to remove one Detritivore. It's not very effective if our opponent doesn't have that many non basics.
Voting to remove one Garruk's Horde. bobthefunny brings up some great points and he's a little on the expensive side at seven mana.
I'm also for bobethefunny's plan of swapping a Stone Rain for an Ice Storm. Assuming I'm reading into this right, that would be two votes for the change.
Also, now that we're only two colors and have a fairly inexpensive deck, voting to drop the land count to 22.
