Golgari Aggro {Standard/Budget}

Standard BG (Golgari) Budget

SkyMage


Sideboard


A budget version of the ever so popular B/G Aggro deck. If anyone has any suggestions, please, don't hesitate to throw in a comment!

Obviously, the engine of the deck is Winding Constrictor, which is pretty cheap, and makes the deck snowball really quickly. Most of your cards will produce counters of benefit from them, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar is probably your most potent counter-maker, but cards like Rishkar, Peema Renegade are really good too. If budget constraints aren't something you're worried about, you'll want a playset of Verdurous Gearhulk and Walking Ballista.

As it stands, the biggest problem of this deck is the manabase, which can be unreliable at times. So I suggest the first other cards you pick up if you do decide to build it be a couple Blooming Marsh and Hissing Quagmire.

Thanks in advance for your comments, y'all!

P.S.: This whole deck was built with cards I actually own, this is the list I play, so I will be updating it as I get the cards I need. So I'm working on bettering the deck, the top cards on my list of 'to-acquire' are Verdurous Gearhulk and Blooming Marsh.

Made some notable changes to the list today that I thought I'd note.

I went down the Aetherborn Marauders in order to throw in a couple of Tireless Trackers, and also went down the Bristling Hydras so I could have Walking Ballistas. Bristling Hydra is a fairly good card and a good use of energy, but it's outclassed by Walking Ballista. I'm considering cutting something else to get it back in. Also threw in a fourth Glint-Sleeve Siphoner because that card has just been so good every time I've gotten it in play.

Also went down the Narnam Renegades for Greenbelt Rampager. The former has deathtouch and an awesome upside with revolt triggered, but this deck can struggle with that, and Greenbelt Rampager is a big body that also gives us energy. Seems more useful.

Let me know if any of these were bad decisions and what else I should do, any comment is appreciated! ^^
