so what we've been doing for a little while is
-open an old pack
-shufle it up
-everyone takes one random card.
so then we build a commander deck around it with it as your general.
forexample: this week I brought a pack of time spiral. I got Basalt Gargoyle, and the other pulled were Momentary Blink, Wipe Away , and Penumbra Spider.
so now I'm making a mono red voltron with lots of value and utility
a particularly interesting part of this is that, b/c you know what commander's there'll be beforehand, you can pack some hate! so I'll be packing Active Volcano, Hydroblast and Red Elemental Blast for it
its really fun, and i'd suggest trying it out :)
The wipe away deck is probably going to DESTROY you. Just saying, not trying to be harsh. Just I would say, be careful with that one. Might want to pack some extra hate against him.

yeah, I know that. Its played by the guy who traditionally plays control from behind the scenes anyways, and I usually lose games once its down to jsut us.
to stop that I'm running Sword of Fire and Ice Sword of Body and Mind Mask of Avacyn Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves.
it should be fine, hopefully.

Do you have a budget cap that players adhere to when deckbuilding?

nope, no cap. we're still trying to figure out if we should be making silly decks or actually making things work, though

It seems that without a cap, if I got a really crumby card. I would just build a good stuff deck, like just change out my commander from one that I already own.
