This is a budget aggro deck that I have been constructing and testing for the many Standard events that go on throughout the weekend. This deck is centered around controlling the board through burns, cherry pickers and combat tricks. This coupled with the AFFLICT ability, that almost every creature has, lets this deck scrap away at the opponents life total with every turn. Get them within Burn distance by being aggressive with your combat phase, then blow a finisher from the graveyard to win!

Let me know what you think, feel free to post any budget suggestions you might have to make this deck even better AND DON'T FORGET TO +1 IF YOU LIKE THE BREW!!!

The Afflicted

Ammit Eternal - An AFFLICT creature that grows smaller the longer it's on the battlefield, but can be very persistent if you use your combat tricks correctly.

Khenra Eternal - A cheap AFFLICT creature that helps add to the theme of chipping away at your opponents life total.

Neheb, the Eternal - This is the granddaddy of all AFFLICT creatures! not only is it a big body to deal with, but every postcombat mainphase, you get to pretty much burn for free!

Wildfire Eternal - Another spicy AFFLICT creature that makes the opponent choose to lose 4 life or allow me to cast a card for free (spoiler alert: that happens quite often in this deck).

Combat Support

Ahn-Crop Crasher - This is the new Goblin Heelcutter ! A hasty body that allows me to get around fattie blockers is mucho value.

Bloodlust Inciter - This guy's sole job is to make my deck hasty. He is a good chump blocker when needed, but this guy really helps put the pressure on my opponent.

Combat Celebrant - This guy is in a smaller slot because his ability is good in certain situations, and disastrous in others. But when he goes off, I can rack up close to 18 points of damage in a turn. Worth a slot IMO!

Tainted Conjurings (Spells)

Supernatural Stamina - A nice combat trick that allows out AFFLICT to hit, taking out the blocker that might be larger than it, and still be on the battlefield, ready to go next turn.

Invigorated Rampage - A versatile combat trick.

Harsh Scrutiny - Don't have to worry about unwanted creatures hitting the board with this cherry-picker. Plus the scry is a nice addition.

Incendiary Flow - Great burn and even better removal spell.

Cut - This not only helps clear the board, but also will end the game when paired with Neheb, the Eternal's ability.
