Hey everybody,
I've been out of the game for months now, and sold my collection. Now a friend gave me the MTG fever again, and I'm regretting that decision..
I doubt I'll get back into it as much as I did, but I'd still love to have a few decks laying around for fun. Preferably with some sort of theme or overall concept, and preferably under $400 each.
Right now, I would love some ideas for a fun Pauper deck, and wouldn't mind suggestions for my Gushing fun deck.
Even suggestions for another deck would be appreciated :) it'd be completely casual, so even if the cards are banned in certain formats, I'd say bring it.
P.S. I don't want anything too good, because then it'd kill the fun for everyone.

I'm going all-out Timmy with my decks, so colour doesn't really matter to me, as long as I have flavor.
My aim is to not be very competitive with it at all, but I don't want to lose every game. Basically pose a threat and make it something to talk about. I got tired of using Dredge and Sneak and Show* to win every game.
Black discard has come to my mind, and I LOVE the concept of Pox decks! I've had single cards more expensive than some of those decks, they're fun to play, they create a challenge for both players, and it's not impossible to beat.. I guess that's kind of what I'm going for to the dot :)
I'll work on a budget pox, any other ideas? I'm aiming for a few good, fun decks. Most of which would be budget, but I'd love to have some variety in case a friend wants to try some out or didn't bring their own decks. I got time and money, haha

A red / white weenie human deck that exploits the hell out of Kessig Malcontents and flicker effects like Cloudshift ?
Or even blue / red version with Deadeye Navigator .

I used to have a Blink deck, so that'd be kinda cool to revamp it into a casual format...
Maybe a control/combo/blink, using Tamiyo, the Moon Sage , some counters (especially Rewind ), some search spells, and plenty of ETB effects..?

Oh... I could probably find a way to use cards like Siege-Gang Commander and Krenko, Mob Boss with it :)
It'd walk away from the human aspect of it, but idk..

Dont try and do too much in one deck. Combos reward you for using all your mana efficiently in a turn, repeating the combo as many times as possible. Control decks reward you for having mana unspent. The two are hard to reconcile.

True, I guess Tamiyo, the Moon Sage came to mind for the idea of reusing Cloudshift .
I have a friend who plays High Tide a lot, which is a Combo with a splash of Control, so that's kind of where my mind is at. A few counterspells in a combo deck

What are your favourite colours and strategies? And how competitive does it need to be? Some kind of black discard deck can be casually competitive and fairly fun.
