Brainstormed budget deck. Very much WIP. The absolute budget is $50 USD. This cannot change as for it is the challenge I make for myself with and decks I create.

This deck was brewed to try to quench my thirst of drawing cards. The addiction is truly worse than the most addicting drugs. The idea behind the CMDR choice is that she poses some threat alone but is not needed for the deck to function. The deck concept is simple draw, draw, and draw. Hopefully it'll satisfy my addiction while leaving me the ability to still win games. Big win-cons are cards like Necrologia and Peer into the Abyss and some of the cards that will either grow enormously, ping people down, or just mill everyone.

A really fun way to win is with Triskaidekaphile. Normally it would be real tricky to get the upkeep trigger to pop but with cards like Oblivion Crown and Skeletal Scrying this challenge because somewhat trivial.

The deck is quite bursty and can win as early as turn three. Though on average through many, many games it seems to average turn 6-10 wins consistently.

Another idea I am considering putting in the deck is attempting to fit in Laboratory Maniac as it would be really common to Necrologia into a Tolarian Winds for a win.

I intentionally left out all infinite combos
