UPDATE

-1 Swords to Plowshares +1 Path to Exile

This change is minimal but I have been facing many ramp decks recently and the lifegain from Swords to Plowshares has been more relevant than I like.

-1 Sacred Mesa +1 Cathars' Crusade

Sacred Mesa can be a powerhouse but as the commander format continues to speed up it never seems to do enough when I get it into play. I have replaced it with a card that should have been in my deck years ago.

-1 Wolfbriar Elemental +1 Tooth and Nail

I can see Wolfbriar Elemental finding its way back in the deck if it becomes more focussed on generating large amounts of green mana. However, for now it is the casualty of Tooth and Nail which makes this deck more consistent and allows wins on the spot by grabbing Craterhoof Behemoth & Avenger of Zendikar

-1 Fresh Meat +1 Qasali Pridemage

The pridemage is easily tutorable removal in a deck with limited interaction. I found myself holding mana up for Fresh Meat that often would go unused when the wrath I was playing around never came. This change helps improve one of the decks overall goals of being more proactive.

-1 Llanowar Elves +1 Concordant Crossroads

I hate to see llanowar go but he's low impact and Concordant Crossroads is the opposite, allowing the decks combos to go off immediately and win before opponents have a chance to react. It is to be saved only for winning the game as it also gives your opponents haste.

A few off the top of my head you might like are Regal Caracal, Pride Sovereign, Prowling Serpopard, Bronzehide Lion, Qasali Pridemage, Marisi, Breaker of the Coil, and the Cat Daddy.

One thing I would recommend you do is add more ramp. You should have probably around 34-36 lands for this deck if you're on a budget. You should also probably add in a good amount of mana producing artifacts like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and talismans like Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Impulse, and Talisman of Unity. Finally more ramp spells like Rampant Growth, Farseek, and Kodama's Reach would do you a lot of good. You gotta make sure your mana base can consistently support your mana curve, and with these changes it'll be able to no problem.

I tried to keep my recommendations in the spirit of casual pups and kits cuz it's a cute deck. I like it a lot. Hope this helps! :^)

zapyourtumor on Mono Green Cats (Budget)

Pride Sovereign is great, although its probably more for GW. Feline Sovereign is a lord that also gives you artifact/enchantment removal. Prowling Serpopard is obviously great against any sort of counterspell-playing deck, although a bit expensive. Kaheera, the Orphanguard is also sorta expensive but you can just run one as a companion. Generous Stray isn't as good but its cheap and cantrips.

Some other 2-drop green cats are Feral Prowler and Initiate's Companion. Hungry Lynx is super good, but pretty expensive as well.

You could also maybe add some 1-drop cats like Scythe Leopard, Scythe Tiger, or Wild Nacatl (you'd have to run more colors for that though).

I would suggest going into GW colors. Even though the manabase won't be great with budget constraints you get access to so many more cats: Adorned Pouncer, Brimaz, King of Oreskos ($$$$), Leonin Vanguard, Regal Caracal, King of the Pride (this one is OP), Qasali Ambusher, Ajani's Pridemate (good with Leonin Vanguard, etc. This'll also give you good SB options like Felidar Cub/Qasali Pridemage (not sure if needed with Feline sovereign already removing artifacts/enchantments), Dromoka's Command, Leonin Arbiter, etc.

sopcich04 Yo! So sorry for the late response, haven't been on tapped out to often and been streaming a bit more lately!

But yes this deck was definitely built with multiplayer in mind, if you are going more in the 1v1 aspect you would be running a different suite of enchantments and also more creatures that would be hard hitting!

Replenish and Retether are your backups in the advent of a boardwipe or lets say a Bane of Progress, if ya need any more ideas feel free to message me!

MagicBr3w81, what Inkmoth is pretty much correct. Rafiq is definitely a fun commander to switch into, what I would suggest to run in addition to Rafiq would be cards like Qasali Pridemage, Noble Hierarch, as well as Sublime Archangel (personal favorite card). What Rafiq does is that he hits hard and threatens more of a 2 shot or heck even ohko. Solid commander for more aggro play, I just like Tuvasa more as it is CA in the command zone.

Inkmoth appreciate ya buddy glad to see ya!

CJH123 on Budget GW Casual Cats

Thanks for the comment!

With all the Lords I'm imagining it like a budget casual version of Merfolk. Something like Aether Vial would probably be a good non-budget option.

I might try cutting Ajani's Pridemate for another 1 or 2 drop (opening up space for Temple of Plenty also), and I have been thinking about reducing Regal Caracal by 1 or 2.

Qasali Pridemage was in my initial list, but I cut it after Feline Sovereign was spoiled (since they offer similar utility). My meta is quite casual and not very artifact / enchantment heavy. Exalted was nice alongside Adorned Pouncer, however.

I looked at Leonin Vanguard initially (and it's run in the MTGGoldfish list I based mine one), but I found it a bit too conditional. I think if I were to run a conditional 1 drop it would be Loam Lion (plus Terramorphic Expanse and Canopy Vista ).

I do like Fleecemane Lion but I felt that the 5 drop slot was already a little too crowded with Adorned Pouncer and Regal Caracal already.

I think Blessed Alliance is probably too cute. I like the Trample suggestion, and Winds of Abandon was on my short list. I'll do some playtesting with some alternatives.

SilentPlague on Cheap Bant Deck

This deck is already pretty solid. The only draw back for 1v1 would be Nulltread Gargantuan. It is a strong drop for 3, but leaves you down an extra creature. That creature then will take 2 more turns until it is back and can attack (unless it has haste). Also, if you get stuck not having anything out on turn 3, then it is useless.

I would add cards like Steel of the Godhead, Distortion Strike, and Aqueous Form. Something to give the exalted creatures a free shot at a player since they are attacking alone. That would be better than Bant Charm or Unsummon.

A solid land would be Cathedral of War. Make a big difference in this deck, but may limit your playability due to the colorless aspect of it.

2 creatures that would be really good would be Sublime Archangel and Rafiq of the Many. The second not as cheap, but 4 would not put you over $30. That double strike would be killer. Even Giant Growth would be a good instant for an unblockable exalted creature.

I would look into getting up to 4 Qasali Pridemage if you can. It has a lot going on for just a 2 drop and with exalted, it is going to be a good attacker on turn 2 right away.

KuzcosPoison on Tayam and Tayam again

RNR_Gaming thank you for suggestions! I actually replaced Dismember with Darkblast for some dredge so Stinkweed Imp seems like a good addition, will try it out. Trying to find the line since I still need creatures on board to get counters for tayam's ability.

king-saproling thank you also! Mesmeric Orb looks fantastic, will try and pick one up, will try Seal of Primordium over Qasali Pridemage too since it seems a bit faster. I did start with Meren but found her a bit slow and it turned out I didn't actually want a lot of my creatures back in my hand. Also trying to limit the number of creatures with cmc higher than 3 so I don't get stuck.

amicdeep on Budget GW Casual Cats

for a tribal deck like this i would either recommend ramp or dropping the mana curve a little, so when you get down the second cat anthem effect you have a nice sized board to take advantage with

my recommendations would be 2Qasali Pridemage its cheap and the utility can be pretty useful

4Leonin Vanguard as your a pretty aggressive deck having another one drop would be particularly useful (also this one gains life for pridemate even when not attacking)

3Fleecemane Lion its aggressive body with a cheap cmc, and late game it basily becomes unkillable.

some solid spell wise i would recommend 2 Selesnya Charm, for 2 reasons, first blessed alliance can only kill attacking creatures and not big blockers, and secondly the best way of utilizing a 4/4 double stiker is by pumping it and giving it trample

some other solid budget removal is Declaration in Stone, Baffling End, Winds of Abandon these all have there own up/downsides but may well play better in a agressive list that alliance
