This is kind of a throwback to the days of digging through bulk boxes to play kitchen table decks with friends. As such, it seemed fitting that I restrict myself to commons and uncommons only... with the exception of Deckbuilder's Toolkit all-star, Nightmare .

The most important thing to note off the bat is that Yargle has 9 base power, so a large portion of the deck is devoted to giving him at least 2 extra power. This takes the clock from 3 hits to 2 or, in some cases, just one (thanks to Fireshrieker and the like). You basically want to hit an opponent with a 1-2-punch that is hard to survive, let alone recover from.

Make sure to check out this list from the Commander's Quarters if you're looking for a really solid, very cheap start to Yargle Voltron, and make sure to leave suggestions below for commons and uncommons that deserve their time in the spotlight. Thanks!
