Welcome to my budget Sai build! This deck is built to take advantage of Sai's capabilities to amass a board of thopters in order to beat down on your foes. If you'd like to read more about this deck, check out my writeup on the r/budgetbrews subreddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetBrews/comments/97cp8l/fff_thop_to_the_top/

Deck was priced at $39.39 without Sai or islands on Card Kingdom so there's a lot of room for upgrades if one wishes. The maybeboard is just a small sample of things one could add to improve the deck.
