This is a really great list, E. Thanks for all the help with EDH and I'm sure this will come in handy frequently :)

No Crawlspace here either? I've had nothing but good experiences with it.

@dberg101: I'm not a huge fan of Explore in EDH. It seems better to play a ramp card that will actually allow you to find the land you need. What are your thoughts?

You have an Underground Sea on this list.

Arbor Elf

Coat of Arms (It's $5.30 so it might not make it)

Banefire

Great Whale (Palinchron replacement in Deadeye Navigator infinite mana combo)

Peregrine Drake (Palinchron replacement in Deadeye Navigator infinite mana combo)

Fiend Hunter

Goblin Assassin (Board wipe for Krenko, Mob Boss )

Vandalblast

Mycosynth Lattice

Just curious Epoch, but what site(s) are you using to get these prices?

@thataddkid: Good catch on the Underground Sea . I copypasted this list from my other staple list, then deleted the expensive stuff. I guess I missed one.

Mycosynth Lattice is too expensive, Vandalblast is already in the list, and Goblin Assassin and Coat of Arms are a bit limited in EDH. However, the other cards were added.

@GoldGhost012: I normally go by TCG for this stuff. Some of the cards are a little over, but they're close enough or common enough to warrant inclusion.

Ashen Rider I think deserves a spot in this list. It's becoming a major part of the b/w decks.

What are your thoughts on Gideon, Champion of Justice ? It has the potenial to be a decent beater and an in-case-of-emergency last ability.

Just thought of some more.

Nevermore

Simic Charm (Hexproof Mode works wonders)

Boros Charm (Great against sweepers of any kind)

Deceiver Exarch (Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker infinite piece)

Zealous Conscripts (Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker infinite piece)

Gaea's Herald

Anger

Primal Surge

I'll post again if more come to mind.

November 30, 2013 11:50 p.m.

@thataddkid: Zealous Conscripts is already in the list, and Deceiver Exarch is too limited to be relevant. I added the others.

if Nevermore , then why not Meddling Mage ? Stronghold Assassin is one of my favorites along with Memory Lapse or Delay .

Also the Emerald Medallion is pretty powerful, and you forgot Abundance .

Cream of the Crop helps a lot in any green deck that doesn't have access to some of the pricier artifacts with similar effects, Scroll Rack or Sensei's Divining Top , etc.

With the printing of C13 Sol Ring is $4.25 and I think it warrants a spot.

Hero's Demise . It basically says 2 mana, kill target commander. It's also less than a dollar.

December 3, 2013 9:01 p.m.

@Droxium: I added Meddling Mage , Memory Lapse , and Delay . I'm unconvinced about Stronghold Assassin and Abundance , though.

@thataddkid: Added.

@mlands3: Added.

@Gidgetimer: Added

@Rargonaut: Sylvan Primordial is already on the list.

@Midwest: Added.

i have been having fun with Void Stalker lately in our EDH adventures... always fun to tuck away generals or throwing 2 of your creatures back in the deck in case of board sweeper. not sure if its staple worthy though but it does fit for budget.

Phyrexian Altar isn't really a budget card
