Smelt-Ward Gatekeepers

Creature — Human Warrior

When Smelt-Ward Gatekeepers enters the battlefield, if you control two or more Gates, gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn. Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn.

Awesome deck, I applaud the effort!

A few suggestions, all with budget in mind:

Ash Zealot is near the top of good two drop warriors. Haste + first strike is really good and the grave hate can be amazing as well.

Goblin Gaveleer is just great with your equipment as well.

Alesha is an amazing toolbox in the late game, which should encourage a varied creature base generally speaking. I would push the recursion aspect with 4x Timely Hordemate as well.

With recursion in mind, look for ETB effects over less than optimal equipment.

Mardu Hordechief and Mogg War Marshal both bring friends to the party.

Stingscourger keeps the biggest threat of the field.

A budget build like this might also want to look into Guildgates and the synergy with Smelt-Ward Gatekeepers.

Another option if you choose Guildgates would be full on Mardu colors. This would give you good cheap removal and a bevy of amazing black warriors. It also allows Golgari Thug as a way to jump start the recursion - though it does eat into the budget. Still, this is amazing synergy with Alesha and Timely Hordemate.

Lastly, Goblin Rabblemaster is a warrior, and sometimes just wins games on his own.

Again, love the concept and good luck on your budget battles!
