Been something I just threw together and played a few on untap with it, and it preformed admirably, but I know it's not to good. Anyone have any good budget Kresh lists or just suggestions?
Thanks!TheEDHkid
Thanks for the suggestions! I am looking for some more creatures that sac themselves or something along those lines; I'm hoping to make this deck is streamlined as possible. Right now; it's not near close XD

A Nim Deathmantle might be useful in this deck, and there are some combos that come along with it if you really want to run them. Hell's Caretaker offers great recursion and a constant source of putting counters on Kresh. Throw in a Thornbite Staff, and you could make Kresh really, really, really big.

If you are looking for some budget options on creatures that go to the graveyard themselves, Burnished Hart would be another good option. Black has some nice mana critters like Blood Vassal and the smaller Blood Pet that can sac themselves. Cards with the Evoke mechanic could also be helpful for you, like Shriekmaw. Using cards with Echo is a good idea, so might look at creatures with Fading or Vanishing as well (Skyshroud Behemoth comes to mind as an example). Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord might give you some good synergy in putting creatures in the graveyard and doing extra damage with them. Sac outlets like Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Ghoul will help get critters to the graveyard, and a Butcher of Malakir will make other players sac their creatures along with them, increasing the counters you can throw on Kresh.
I've never played with him before, but there looks like lots of potential there, and lots of options. Some cards that recur themselves like Endless Cockroaches (although the three black might be tough to pull off), Reassembling Skeleton, and Sanitarium Skeleton offer some consistent although small recursion. Other good recursion options include Phyrexian Reclamation, No Rest for the Wicked, Haunted Crossroads, Palace Siege, and Oversold Cemetery can make sure you creatures keep coming back to sacrifice again.
I hope that helps out. He looks like a fun Commander to run with.
