I’m looking to build my first Pioneer deck, and of course it’s prowess! I have some random cards mostly EDH stuff that I wanna trade for my new deck. If you’re interested in cards under $2 you can look through my binder, can’t promise everything is up to date though.

Hey, well done so far on a budget. What's Troll 2?

Are you upgrading the Kalamax Commander precon? Or are you building from singles? I ask because I can't tell and there's several good budget cards in the precon to consider adding.

• Arcane Signet
• Chaos Warp : instant remove any permanent.
• Kessig Wolf Run : repeatable source of trample for Kalamax that Crop Rotation can tutor for.
• Exotic Orchard
• Yavimaya Coast
• Shivan Reef
• Cinder Glade
• Izzet Boilerworks
• Simic Growth Chamber
• Gruul Turf

Even if you didn't get the precon all these cards would be upgrades especially the lands.

Some other budget cards to consider:

• Brainstorm
• Reiterate : Fork for Kalamax with buyback.
• Reclaim
• Commander's Insight
• Roiling Regrowth : like Harrow , but basic lands you get ETB tapped.

---

A more expensive price card to consider is Narset's Reversal . It has great interaction with Kalamax because he makes it a repeatable effect to copy any instant or sorcery an opponent casts. The copy of Reversal that Kalamax makes targets the original Reversal which then sends the original Reversal back to your hand and you resolve a copy of opponent's spell.

Reversal is nice to keep triggering magecraft especially Storm-Kiln Artist since with Kalamax Artist creates two treasures just by casting Reversal and it's returned to your hand. Use those two treasures to then cast Reversal on the next player's turn and repeat each turn an opponent casts an instant or sorcery.

You can do other neat tricks with Narset's Reversal and Kalamax.

• Twinning Staff makes an infinite copy spell combo which equals infinite +1/+1 counters on Kalamax as well as infinite magecraft triggers.
• Can use Reversal on your own sorceries to return Reversal and the sorcery back to your hand to cast again and resolve a copy of the sorcery.

Good luck with your deck.

Hey there! Spellslinging is a super popular theme in commander (assuming that's what you're going for), and I have a few options you might want to look into! On a side note, if you like getting suggestions I recommend marking your deck as "help" under its edit settings so people are more inclined to comment on it. Additionally, you can specify which printing when inputting a card, but for Rowan it would be "1x Rowan, Scholar of Sparks (STX:278)".

Commanders:

Will and Rowan are GREAT, but if you'd like, here are a few instant/sorcery matters commanders in ! Most of these are also great cards just in the deck whether you use them as commanders or not: - Veyran, Voice of Duality - Mizzix of the Izmagnus - Niv-Mizzet, Parun (goes infinite with multiple cards such as Ophidian Eye , Tandem Lookout , Curiosity , and more. Especially with something like Laboratory Maniac out) - Melek, Izzet Paragon - Zaffai, Thunder Conductor

Lands/Ramp: Since this would be a spellslinger deck, I'll stay away from too many artifacts, but here are a few ramp cards and good lands to consider!

• Sol Ring
• Arcane Signet
• Sapphire Medallion / Ruby Medallion
• Lotus Petal
• High Tide
• Mind Stone (if you plan on running a lot of card draw)
• Thought Vessel
• Commander's Sphere
• Treasonous Ogre
• Dockside Extortionist
• Geosurge
• Irencrag Feat
• Jeska's Will

• Extraplanar Lens (if you plan on running a lot of basics)

• Steam Vents

• Scalding Tarn
• Riverglide Pathway  ^Flip
• Temple of Epiphany
• Sulfur Falls
• Frostboil Snarl
• Training Center
• Command Tower
• Ancient Tomb
• City of Brass / Mana Confluence
• Prismatic Vista
• Shivan Reef
• Cascade Bluffs
• Fiery Islet
• Spirebluff Canal

Some good Instants/Sorceries There's obviously tons upon tons upon tons of these, but here are a few that I enjoy using.

• Swan Song
• Fierce Guardianship
• Cyclonic Rift
• Mystical Tutor
• Temporal Mastery (good with the tutor above)
• Preordain
• Faithless Looting
• Ponder
• Narset's Reversal (lot of infinite combos I believe)
• Deflecting Swat
• Thrill of Possibility
• Rapid Hybridization

Instants/Sorceries Matter: There are also tons of these, but just to name a few:

• Baral, Chief of Compliance
• Young Pyromancer
• Docent of Perfection  ^Flip
• Spellseeker
• Thermo-Alchemist
• Wee Dragonauts
• Snapcaster Mage
• Sprite Dragon
• Any card with magecraft from strixhaven

I hope this helps! Some suggestions may be out of budget and others may not be, and on the other hand you might have already known about most of these cards, but either way I hope this is of use to you! Be sure to check out some of my decks like Double Trouble EDH ⫸PRIMER⫷, but most of all, good luck on your deck! Have a fantastic day, and happy tapping.

Your best bets for under $10 will be Sulfur Falls , Shivan Reef , and Cascade Bluffs

So, you may want to define your budget in just going to assume no card over 5 dollars seeing as the most expensive card in here is 7 bucks.

Shivan Reef

Temple of Epiphany

Sulfur Falls

Frostboil Snarl

As for the rest of the distribution on basics - once you figure out the none basics you're running determine the remaining number of slots you have. Currently your red pips are about 75%. So, if you were to just run basics you'd run 18 mountains and 6 islands; this is just based on the % that red is in your deck. Of course running dual lands is better but you can just use that as a base.

Also you can pick up a Shivan Reef pretty cheap for another dual land.

nathanielhebert on Flying Wizards Pezzent

Just piping in to say this is a cool concept — similar in spirit to your Unblockable Pezzent! deck, but with flying, hasted wizards to sneak the damage through! Loving the mana-ramp with Goblin Electromancer , and the various wizard synergies to keep spell costs down and to get those damage counters in place. (the +1/+1's sometimes compound quickly in a turn!)

I have a speedy, Warrior-tribal deck, and now I'm curious to pit them against each other in the ultimate showdown of Wizards vs. Warriors. In practise, I've been "mana-screwed" a few games with bad shuffles, so when I'm building this in paper, will likely add some dual-lands like Shivan Reef that I've got on hand. While I'm at it, I also threw a Kaza, Roil Chaser into the cart — I'll let you know how it goes, but happy to be soon flying to victory. Kudos!
