Temple of Abandon enters the battlefield tapped.

When Temple of Abandon enters the battlefield, scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.)

Really good dual lands for budget and new players are the Temple cycle found in the Theros sets. Lands such as Temple of Abandon . They enter tapped, yes, but thy get you your colors and Scry 1 so you can try to get use to planning ahead and seeing what you need versus what you want.

Hey, well done on your first real deck. On less than $50 budget you have good card sense :)

Because of low budget all my card suggestions will be $1 or less each.

• Command Tower : staple land of multicolored Commander decks.
• Magus of the Candelabra : can untap X lands.
• Steel Hellkite : can wreck your opponents one at a time with X ability.
• Fierce Empath : to tutor for Flameblast or Hellkite or Wort.
• Hungering Hydra : X creature upgrade.
• Vastwood Hydra : X creature upgrade.
• Mina and Denn, Wildborn : good Gruul creature able to play an additional land per turn and bounce a land to give a creature trample.
• Wild Growth , Fertile Ground , Overgrowth : can take advantage of these land auras for ramp with Magus + Rosheen.
• Mosswort Bridge : interaction with Wildborn to bounce it back to you hand to play it again to hideaway again.
• Cinder Glade
• Gruul Turf
• Temple of Abandon

Cards to consider cutting:

• 4x Mountain
• 2x Forest
• Ivy Elemental
• Krakilin
• Veteran Explorer
• Llanowar Visionary
• Gelatinous Genesis
• Dictate of Karametra
• Keeper of Progenitus
• Boundless Realms

Good luck with your deck.

Davinoth on Marisi's Marching Band [Goad EDH]

     Omniscience_is_life: Thanks so much for the Upvote and great suggestions! Your comment (particularly the linked "Annoying pieces of shit" bit) gave me a good chuckle haha! =)

     Have to agree with your opinion on Bretagard Stronghold ! I've played it once and it was particularly underwhelming. I'll likely replace with another basic or Temple of Abandon .

     I had been considering Farseek & Curse of Opulence , though I was planning to cut Road of Return and keep Skyshroud Claim instead. Being that Marisi costs four though, SS Claim & Exp Veg do conflict with a tempo draw and is probably a better plan.

     I really love Shamanic Revelation , but you're probably right here, too. I have one Sylvan Library , but I'm not super keen to pull it from the deck it's in or to go and buy another haha! Probably Return of the Wildspeaker is the right direction. :)

     Planning to cut Prey Upon for Pit Fight . At least then I can target my own creatures with Brash Taunter & Stuffy Doll .

     Again - great suggestions! Thank you!

Hmmm... is this really a Naya deck? You have one red card and one hybrid card, which can just be played monogreen. If you swapped Fireball out for Hurricane , the whole deck could be green and make your mana production a lot easier!

Even if you like being able to channel lots of mana into a fireball, you could drop the Jungle Shrines for something like Temple of Abandon and just have the deck be /.

mobizque on Enraged Dinosaurs! (Budget R/G)

Narueled, I might be wrong. It really depends on how you want to win. I think the bolt will give you a few extra wins in cases where three points of burn is all you need, but Reckless Rage helps your deck do what it likes to do: piss off big dinos and clear the way for an attack.

For the lands, your average cmc is so high that--though it sucks to drop action cards--you might have more consistency with an extra land. Speaking of, the scry from Temple of Abandon might help too, particularly on turn 1 when you don't have your most important big plays. Your momentum really kicks in turn 2. Again, That increases the cost. I want to build a gruul deck in paper (werewolves or dinosaurs), but the cost of the mana base has deterred me so far.

Hey, nice first budget version of Gishath. Good job on the win.

Some budget cards to consider adding:

• Command Tower: staple Rainbow land.
• Arcane Signet: staple Rainbow mana rock.
• Garruk's Uprising: repeatable draw and give creatures you control trample.
• Rhythm of the Wild: makes Gishath uncounterable, can be a haste enabler or a +1/+1 counter effect to offset Forerunner of the Empire/Rampaging Ferocidon/Marauding Raptor.
• Apex Altisaur: repeatable creature removal with enrage fight and it fights when it ETB.
• Deathgorge Scavenger: repeatable graveyard hate is helpful in Commander.
• Three Visits: another two drop land ramp spell that can get a dual land.
• Exotic Orchard: staple Rainbow land.
• Path of Ancestry: staple Rainbow land, repeatable scry with Dinos.

Several of these cards are in Commander Legends, the new Magic set just released. The prices of these cards will be decreasing.

Cards to consider cutting:

• Vivid Meadow
• Temple of Abandon
• Temple of Plenty
• Grow from the Ashes
• Migration Path
• Vanquisher's Banner: repeatable draw from casting Dinos is not as good as draw that triggers when a creature you control ETB. Banner doesn't trigger when Dinos are cheated onto the battlefield and doesn't trigger when a Dino token is created.
• Whispersilk Cloak
• Burning Sun's Avatar
• Thundering Spineback

Good luck with your deck.

DCdude5117 on Giant's Lair

Might want to look into adding these cards for combat step potency. Berserkers' Onslaught, Aggravated Assault, Domri, Anarch of Bolas, Savage Ventmaw, Rampaging Baloths, Skarrgan Hellkite, End-Raze Forerunners, terrastodon, Kogla, the Titan Ape, Scourge of the Throne

And these cards for card-draw and mana ramp Beast Whisperer, Garruk's Uprising, Castle Garenbrig, Llanowar Elves, Temple of Abandon, Gruul Turf, Sheltered Thicket, Cragcrown Pathway  ^Flip, Return of the Wildspeaker, Elvish Mystic, Hunter's Insight, Ilysian Caryatid, Guardian Project, Bonders' Enclave, Nylea, Keen-Eyed,Lifecrafter's Bestiary

And the cuts I were thinking of could be Vivien, Champion of the Wilds, Spearbreaker Behemoth, Giant Adephage, Spidersilk Armor, Mistcutter Hydra, Shifting Ceratops, Sunder Shaman, Voracious Hydra, Rhonas's Monument, Blood Mist

This are just my first initial thoughts on the deck.

Hey, nice version of Jared. I'm not a fan of Jared, but I can see you have put a lot of thought into your deck and you have overall very good card sense on a budget. Card draw shouldn't be a problem as long as you can keep the monarch :)

The manabase is lacking which is understandable because of the low budget. Cinder Glade and Canopy Vista are two of the better budget lands for Naya because they are two different land types, have interaction with lots of basic lands and they're Forest lands. Farseek, but also Nature's Lore, Three Visits (Commander Legends version), Skyshroud Claim and Wood Elves can all search for them and these five land ramp spells are among the best in Commander because they can ramp with a dual land. Some other good budget lands are: Battlefield Forge, Path of Ancestry and Naya Panorama.

Crop Rotation can tutor for Throne of the High City. Open the Armory can tutor for Pariah, Shield of the Oversoul or one of five equipment. Pariah is an important card to have more access too because you can't lose the monarch when Jared is enchanted with it.

Kami of False Hope is the white Spore Frog. Sun Titan is now less than $1 and is quite helpful since it can be repeatable reanimation: Jared, Pariah, Throne, Frog, Reckoner or any other 3 CMC/less permanent. Dromoka's Command is a good instant fight spell since it also gives another mode.

---

Cards to consider cutting:

• 1x Mountain
• Blossoming Sands
• Temple of Abandon
• Temple of Plenty
• Temple of Triumph
• Khalni Ambush  ^Flip
• Migration Path
• Protector of the Crown: Archon and Regal are better six drop monarch enablers.
• Truefire Captain: difficult casting cost for this budget manabase.
• Blackblade Reforged: not needed since doesn't give evasion or protection and Jared will have huge power/toughness with counters.

Good luck with your deck.
