Cheiromancer on Two cards to win Pezzent! (10/12 Euro/$)

I think Faerie Miscreants should be swapped in for the copies of Mantle of Tides. Evasive attackers and card draw is always good. Moving around equipment for free? Very niche.

DreadKhan it was a tossup between that or Faerie Miscreant. I opted for the creature since it can be buffed quite a bit, but that RoI might be outweighed by the immediate gains of Winged Words. Do you think the pure draw is a better choice?

multimedia on Budget Sneak Attack Precon Upgrade

Hey, good start, well done upgrading the precon on a budget. For your first deck you have good card sense already. Most of my card suggestions to consider are $1 or less each. Some overall advice is to consider lowing the mana curve which will reduce the avg. CMC of your deck which is currently high at 3.4. By lowing the mana curve then you can potentially play more Rogues quicker to have more of a board presence when you cast Anowon.

There's an infinite opponent mill combo with Mindcrank. Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank + effect to make each opponent mill a card. For three mana this combo makes all your opponents mill the rest of their libraries and each opponent loses life equal to the amount of cards they had left in their libraries.

Consider a few more one drop Rogues who have evasion to help them to do combat damage to a player?

• Faerie Miscreant
• Nightshade Stinger
• Prickly Boggart
• Vampire Cutthroat
• Thieves' Guild Enforcer

By adding more one drop Rogues then you have more chances to potentially control more Rogues before you cast Anowon. Spells that only cost one mana are great in Commander letting you more easily cast more than one spell a turn or cast a spell on your turn and leave up lands/mana for instant opponent interaction.

Some other one drops to consider:

• Brainstorm
• Dark Ritual
• Zephyr Boots
• Curiosity
• Sigil of Sleep
• Preordain

---

Anowon with Rogues is all about attacking. Consider more effects to take advantage of attacking and doing combat damage to opponents?

• Krydle of Baldur's Gate: Rogue with combat damage to player trigger, also repeatable to make Anowon, itself or another creature you control unblockable, for two mana.
• Hoard Robber: Rogue who can create repeatable ramp with treasures.
• Reconnaissance Mission: draw a card for each creature who does combat damage to a player.
• Key to the City: repeatable unblockable by discarding a card and it can be repeatable draw once on your turn for two mana.
• Zephyr Boots
• Curiosity
• Sigil of Sleep

Anowon lacks evasion and with base 2/4 stats it could be difficult for him to do combat damage to a player. By adding more cards that can repeatedly give him or other creatures you control evasion or unblockable then he can do more combat damage to opponents.

Some budget land upgrades replacing some basic lands to consider:

• Secluded Courtyard: new card from NEO set, it will most likely come down in price. Another tribal land that ETB untapped and bonus is you can use mana from it to activate an ability of a tribal creature.
• Choked Estuary: another Dimir dual land that can ETB untapped if you also have in your hand an Island or Swamp land to reveal.
• Path of Ancestry: ETB tapped Dimir land, but worth it for tribal since any Rogue you cast with it you scry 1.
• Access Tunnel: another land that can make a creature unblockable.

---

Some cuts to consider are first some lands to add more one drop Rogues? 38 lands is high, by cutting two lands for a couple of one drops won't effect consistency of drawing lands that much while the one drops can give you more.

Some other cards to consider cutting in order: Dimir Locket, Didn't Say Please, Fractured Sanity, Fated Return, Rise from the Grave, Murder, Ogre Slumlord, Master Thief, Lazav, Dimir Mastermind, Adaptive Automaton.

If you're interested in any of these suggestions then let me know which ones and I offer more advice. Good luck with your deck.

taylorfisdboss: First of all, my bad for the kinda late response, but thanks for coming back!

Also thanks for telling me about Erosion. That's one of those cards that I didn't even know existed until now, which is awesome. As for the all-blue casting cost, I'm not as intimidated by that as I should be. The deck is already 50% blue as it is. However, for the other reasons you stated, it still may not be necessary.

I changed the decklist to reflect its "final form," at least temporarily for some playtesting. I took out Jhessian Thief and replaced it Faerie Miscreant... then took that out and replaced it with Wayfarer's Bauble. I also dropped 2x Raze and upped the land count.

It feels a little better now, but needs more testing to be sure.

Thanks for all your help, and you come up with anything else, even wacky, experimental ideas, feel free to let me know any time!

Id be tempted to run more faeries like Faerie Miscreant but thats prob not the best

Budget rogues is a sweet brew - I ran it a long while back. I really reccomend running as many 1 drop rogues as you can - I was running up to 12, alongside card draw to keep them going, preferring unblockables as you can to take advantage of blackguard/thought thief and prowl. The higher up the mana curve you go, the more expensive the list gets as it turns into the faerie/ninja style lists.

Frogtosser is a fun card, but without a second cheap cost reduction spell, its probably better just to play some cheaper cmc rogues, unless you plan to ramp into a particularly key card.

Most of the below cards are really cheap, and you should be able to test different kinds of shells using them. You can mess around with mostly blue shells and add some negates, or mostly black and add push - but the best thing about rogue decks is that so long as you keep switching it up your opponents won't know exactly what they are facing, and will have to play accordingly.

Key evasive 1 drops Black - Nightshade Stinger Shadow Alley Denizen Vampire Cutthroat Thieves' Guild Enforcer Changeling Outcast

Blue - Faerie Miscreant Merfolk Windrobber Slither Blade Triton Shorestalker Mothdust Changeling

Key card draw options Low removal meta - Curiosity , Curious Obsession Glint-Sleeve Siphoner

Morsel Theft is a lightning helix at the face that draws a card when you are hitting your opponent, but bad without a board state.

Key artifact meta - Thieving Skydiver

'sorta' card advantage options

Noggin Whack / Acquisitions Expert a solid 'no hand for you' plan does a lot to keep your rogues on the battlefield. If sieze/inq is out of budget, Bribery or plain old Duress variants can still get you there.

Cards to avoid (traps)

Disciple of Deceit - the card disadvantage and tap/untap on it is punishing. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive relevant rogues already evasive Thieves' Fortune - if you are looking for answers its likely they've already stopped you hitting them in the face.

Secondly, Pyre of Heroes is an interesting option to turn 1 drops into 2 drops, letting you have more consistent access to lords like soaring or blackguard. It also dodges counterspells like vial, even if its not at instant speed and doesn't help after a wrath. Its worth testing with some proxies to see how it matches you against the decks you are likely to play, as artifact removal is common (but getting them to sideboard it in is also good). Glasspool Mimic  ^Flip is notable in this case as a way to search out a clone of a lord without taking up a full creature slot, while Zulaport Cutthroat offers an option to drain out an opponent (even if it doesn't trigger prowl).

I hope this helps - have fun brewing!

If you're running bad cards for fun, toss in Faerie Miscreant.

VorelNailo: Thank you, I'm glad you like the deck! Yeah, I can definitely see a budget deck around her, she works great with lots of budget cards... My deck is only expensive because I had an Intuition and a Gilded Drake sitting around, haha. Most of the really important pieces are pretty cheap, with the exception of Phyrexian Altar. I'm also planning to rewrite the primer in a more orderly way, when I get some time :) I tested Faerie Miscreant in here, yeah! But honestly, I'm trying to avoid things which are only good with Araumi, since she tends to get shot on sight by my playgroup after a few blowout games...

I'll happily take a look at your list, if you want to drop a link! I'd love to hear more suggestions if you have them :D
