---

This is basically the third Budget deck I've come up with on my own! (Scarrabby dooby doo! was a modification of Known Laws of Aviation, so that one really was 2.5 rather than 3.)

Not sure why I decided to use all clerics since there is no cleric support, but let me know if there are any better alternatives!

Wincon Show

Ajani, Strength of the Pride is our main hero who is able to provide mass healing. It is also a part of our wincondition which can be achived once you hit 10 devotion counters on Ajani and 35 Life, which shouldn't be too too hard. What we need to be mindful of is to heal up and get a big creature ready to strike with Cradle of Vitality . Sanguine Bond and Vizkopa Guildmage help a ton, too when wittling down enemy Life as you gain yours.

Healer Show

Card that provides consistent healing is [Soul Warden], which heals you every time you drop a creature. On the other hand, Cathedral Sanctifier provides mass healing once you have Cradle of Vitality or Sunbond on the field. Ajani, Strength of the Pride , is also able to provide some nice healing on top of being our BBEG (BGNG?). Swinging with the buffed lifelink Court Cleric until Ajani is ready can also provide some nice healing.

Budgeting Show

Really, the only thing I did was sub out Path to Exile which is $10 a pop with Condemn , which is a significantly cheaper alternative. Our only goal is to survive until Ajani, Strength of the Pride can pop off and we have large buffy creatures and get an OTK, so I don't think Condemning large creatures will be that much of an hindrance. Of course, more to come on that as I try out the deck more. Since it's only 2 copies, putting in Path to Exile for the extra $20 might not be a bad idea.

I welcome all expertise because yours will be significantly better than mine, seeing as I am still relatively new when it comes to building decks. Let me know if there are better alternatives to the cards listed or if I missed anything significant or if there is a better balance of cards!

If you are better-versed in other colours, I also have other decks that require assistance such as: Laws of Aviation (Insect Token Deck) , How to Train UR Dragon (UR Dragon Deck) , and Scarrabby Dooby Doo! (Insect Token Deck Pt.2) .

Thanks as always!
