: Add to your mana pool.

: Dread Statuary becomes a 4/2 Golem artifact creature until end of turn. It's still a land.

Funkydiscogod on Help! Budget Hardened Scales

4 months ago

Well, looking at it, almost every card has an enormously weaker budget option:

• 4x Walking Ballista / Triskelion
• 4x Arcbound Worker / Sparring Construct
• 4x Arcbound Ravager / Arcbound Slith
• 2x Dark Confidant / Pain Seer
• 4x Hangarback Walker / Hooded Hydra
• 4x Steel Overseer / Chronomaton

• 4x Ancient Stirrings / Adventurous Impulse

• 4x Mox Opal / Golgari Signet

• 3x Welding Jar / Herbal Poultice
• 1x Animation Module

• 2x Throne of Geth / Contagion Clasp

• 4x Hardened Scales / Winding Constrictor

• 1x Blinkmoth Nexus / Hissing Quagmire

• 4x Darksteel Citadel
• 4x Forest
• 4x Inkmoth Nexus / Dread Statuary
• 2x Overgrown Tomb / Foul Orchard
• 1x Pendelhaven / Hashep Oasis
• 1x Phyrexia's Core / Claws of Gix
• 3x Wooded Foothills / Evolving Wilds

The deck would suck enormously, but it would be a deck. Are there any better budget options I missed?

Ziusdra on NOW THIS IS PODRACING

I freaking love this deck. I think this may be my next for-fun deck. I may be substituting a Ghirapur Gearcrafter and a Golem Foundry for some of the cards I am missing or unable to acquire... maybe also pick myself up a Ghirapur AEther Grid . And it may be against the podracing theme, but I like the Indomitable Archangel as an option, and Dread Statuary and Stalking Stones can't hurt for lands in case you find yourself with lots of mana and/or no cards to play anyway.

i dont like 8 rack but imma help you out, you are going to want like 2x the ammount of removal and probably Bontu's Last Reckoning split some main some side, also man lands are very good in this deck Mutavault is best but for budget you could jank out a Dread Statuary or Spawning Pool

Asylum Visitor is pretty nifty, sb mabey. also run like 4 gy hate cards, Rain of Tears could be fun,Nyxathid = big, Delirium Skeins for control, and Shadow of Doubt is good but creeping up in price

TlDecker1988 on $100 Budget for Improvements

1 year ago

Sorry, even though I just completed the tutorial and I'm used to Sally. If someone could post here the different commands that'd be awesome.

Running the following in Modern. Next month I'll have ~$120 for Improvements to my Modern deck.

I currently run:Deck4x Nimbus Maze4x Port Town2x Glacial Fortress4x Faerie Conclave5x Plains5x Island

4x Wall of Omens3x Vendilion Clique4x Restoration Angel

4x Path to Exile2x Detention Sphere

4x Serum Visions4x Spreading Seas1x Sphinx's Revelation

4x Condescend2x Negate1x Logic Knot

3x Supreme Verdict

I only run 24 land because I have the full compliment of 4 Wall of Omens, 4 Serum Visions and 4 Spreading Seas.

It does pretty good. The last local Modern tournament I played I went 3-1, with my loss being to 8-Rack.

It's favorable against a good lot of aggro and combo. I haven't tested against a lot of mid-range.

I currently have in my extra card pool:

2x Dread Statuary4x Rune Snag2x Pull from Tomorrow3x Logic Knot4x Blade Splicer2x White Sun's Zenith2x [Momentary Blink]]1x Oust1x Whispers of the Muse1x Think Twice

I would cut in creatures, to get consistency in your polymorphing. You don't need more than 20 creatures (in my opinion). Replace the ones that creates token to get enchantment, lands or artifact that do the same.

Nuisance Engine, Myr Turbine, Genesis Chamber, Throne of Empires, Guardian Idol, Chronatog Totem are good cheap artifacts you could consider.

Control Magic, Domineering Will are amazing, stealing stuff and giving you sac targets. Some lands like Cradle of the Accursed, Dread Statuary, Mishra's Factory, Zoetic Cavern and more could also be interresting sac target.

I would add some board wipe as well, such as Whelming Wave, Evacuation and Engulf the Shore. Even AEtherize can work.

Here's some ideas.

Replace the Butcher's Cleaver or Slayer's Plate with a Loxodon Warhammer. Same Cost, same equip, same damage bonus, but not having a restriction on the creature type and the additional trample are pretty nice.
I've always felt that Bonds of Faith is better in a 60 card deck than Commander. Too many threats and it suffers from the same problems that all Auras have.
The Citadel Siege feels out of place. I get the point of the two +1/+1 counters each combat, but if the board is empty, it becomes useless.

Please consider the following equipment (in no particular order):
Vulshok Morningstar
Manriki-Gusari
Illusionist's Bracers
Sword of Kaldra
Konda's Banner
Umezawa's Jitte
Basilisk Collar
Argentum Armor
Deathrender
Nim Deathmantle
Bonehoard

Creatures to consider:
Auriok Salvagers
Sanctum Gargoyle
Treasure Hunter
Sun Titan

Additional cards to look at:
Forbidding Watchtower
Sejiri Steppe
Kjeldoran Outpost
Dread Statuary
Mobilization
