I haven't played MTG in a LOOOOOONG time. I decided to get into it ~AGEN~ I am currently looking forward to playing at my L.G.S. and seeing the meta decks.

andbartwo that's the point. Go at your LGS and ask for m17 welcome decks. Get the cards and start building depending on your meta. Last week, I destroyed a 400 euros deck and it felt really, REALLY nice. XD

Thanks for your stopping by and commenting :)

I love it. I dont have to spent 40 euros now. It's amazing.

"Last week, I destroyed a 400 euros deck and it felt really, REALLY nice"

Uh huh. And I'm the Tooth Fairy. Your removal is all sorcery speed and can be disrupted VERY easily with either a few well placed Fatal Pushes or Lightning Strikes. Do you really expect people to believe you can beat meta decks with this?

Damn it YOU FAIRY, I want my teeth back!

His first incarnation I was little more skeptical of but, really at a budget FNM deck it's sound. That doesn't mean I dare to run this at a PTQ or any thing like that but, FNM sure.

Oh sure. MAYBE this deck can do well at FNM if absolutely no one was even attempting to try and play the meta and maybe had a chunk of their brain missing, but I don't think there are very many people who underwent the same lobotomy procedure that ROUROU did.

@BlackKnightJack,Some of us players don't have $50-100 to spend on cards every time the meta changes. ROUROU is showing that it is possible to build a decent deck that will function well against those meta decks and possibly even beat them without spending lots of money. Building a good cheap deck takes a lot more skill than building a deck when you don't have a price limit.

BlackKnightJack Seriously dude, stop being a cunt.

"ROUROU is showing that it is possible to build a decent deck that will function well against those meta decks and possibly even beat them without spending lots of money."

Yes and he's also failing horribly. This deck does NOT do anything remotely close to what ROUROU claims it does. For all intents and purposes it has no removal and very subpar creatures. Literally all it takes to beat this deck is to run instant speed removal. That is a remarkably bad look for a deck.

BlackKnightJack ok, here's the deal. Stop spamming your rubbish at my decklists. If you can build a deck, that's actually better, do it and go on with your life. No need to spam hate. If you can't, it's your problem then . Either way, you are missing the point of mtg. There is no fun in creating a meta deck. At least I am not having fun. This is why I try to build budget decks. Fyi, I playtested against your deck and I went 7-3 ... I also have the video at cockatrice, but I won't be a dick and upload it. I will end the subject here and now instead. Have a nice new year and may you have money to buy all the expensive cards you need.

Oh I don't care that you're building budget decks. What I care about is that you GREATLY over-exaggerate what those decks can do and then get incredibly upset when told that your decks aren't nearly as awesome as you think they are.

But thank you for reminding me that I need to upload the videos I took of your B/R deck. I'd like to avoid Youtube if possible, but I'm not sure where else to host them. Maybe I can try to make a Facebook page and use their video player.

BlackKnightJack do it and stop coming around. You are very annoying.

There is a difference in saying that "they are not as good as what we think they are" (which is a fair statement) and saying "had a chunk of their brain missing, but I don't think there are very many people who underwent the same lobotomy procedure that ROUROU did."

andbartwo,LeaPlath i don't reply to comment like yours , because that dude might start to flame you too. I sincerely thank you though, because it's nice to have some people back me up... All I am doing here, is playing casually mtg . I ain't trying to say that I will win a Pro tour. But I can sure as hell put up a good fight. Anyways, thanks for your support guys ;)

What's very easy to obtain are Woodland Streams at about <0.01$ a piece. Since your deck doesn't have any one-drops, your first turn is always doing nothing. Now, with Woodland Stream you can get both colors and still keep your pace.

Also, if it's not too much for you, Deeproot Elite seems pretty strong in this deck b/c a lot of your creatures are Merfolk. If you can't obtain them thats ok, b/c Merfolk Mistbinder can also serve in it's place.

Riddleform doesn't seem too strong in this build. All of your spells are either sorcery-speed targeting your own guys, which you can't do with Riddleform, or Instants that are made to be cast on your opponents turn and not your own. I would probably replace it with either Silvergill Adept if you're going towards Merfolk or maybe Treasure Map  Flip.

I would also take out your Eternal of Harsh Truths for maybe Riverwise Augur. This dude can help you Brainstorm and count as a Merfolk, as well as it being a 2/2 body that's dirt cheap.

Take out Garruk's Horde. There are much better replacements for it such as Scaled Behemoth or another Arborback Stomper. 7 mana is just too much for something that gets targeted by all control-like removal (Vraska's Contempt, Cast Out, etc,)

Other than that, good luck on this budget deck! My brother always says to me: "Make a deck that you can be proud of, not a super-budget deck that MIGHT go 3-1" and I respond with "You just don't get it do you. Money doesn't grow on trees or bushes!"

I am a big fan of budget decks!
