DECK UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I wanted to make an Izoni deck, but I'm on a ridiculously tight budget for the time being.

That being said, I decided to challenge myself by limiting my card choice to cards that are all under $1.

After weeding out the low-value cards, and play-testing this against some of the more expensive decks at my table ($150-$200), I'm confident you'll be able to keep up, if not dominate your local playgroup.

(Disclaimer: Unless you're careful to save cards like Loaming Shaman , The Mending of Dominaria , Elixir of Immortality , and Perpetual Timepiece for when you need them, any sort of graveyard-hate WILL shut you down.)

I hope all of you other budget players out there enjoy what I've cooked up!

After a few playtests......

One of the more entertaining synergies I managed to get rolling was with Ivy Lane Denizen , Kessig Cagebreakers , and Forgotten Ancient .

After getting a half-dozen creatures in my graveyard, Kessig Cagebreakers was bringing out tokens like clockwork. Since the wolves are green, they then triggered Ivy Lane Denizen 's ability, allowing me to put counters on whatever creatures I wanted. Once I got Forgotten Ancient out on the field, I started loading him up so I could store the counters and move them to my tramplers later.

If left unchecked, the counter synergies I've added can really snowball out of control.
