A Really Rally Riot Deck

The Kitchen Table forum

When I started playing Magic, the game was fun, ,mysterious and only in the Power9 unaffordable....

I miss those days..

I made a challence for my friends:

Brew a deck for $20,- (your idea if you want to include a sideboard but, $20,- remains $20,-). I gave them a marge of 10% due to fluctuation andsoon...

To keep it simple: we got Pioneer as the format.... but it also could Modern, legacy, Vintage or EDH.

We called a date to compare our Deck-list for that $20,-

Up comming Sunday is our date of reckoning.....

I challenge you to spread the challenge and share your results as I already did.

Here's what I ended up with. No sideboard, and it might change slightly as I put it through the motions some more.

$20 Pioneer - I Cast Sword

One of my favorite budget challenges, that will also help support your LGS, is the following:

  • Go to your LGS
  • Go to their assortment of cards in their loose boxes
  • You and your friends set a budget and build a 60 card deck using only what you find

If you set the budget at, say, $10 that's basically 2 booster packs worth of value, but you get an entire 60 card deck. Now the economics is pretty small so no, $10 isn't really helping your LGS at all, but it's a nice fun and cheap way to play some games.

$20 in which currency?

Which site are you using to value the cards?

We got a choice between CardKingdom, TCG (low) or CardMarket (7-daytrent).....

We took the one which was most happy for us. That's why the 10% difference is handy

I won't be able to have my deck finished by Sunday, as the timing is awful.

I will try to have mine ready by Monday.

Which will probably be Sunday for you, depending on where you live.


Small tip - this usually works best by having only one place to price the cards. You can still buy them from other sources.

It's going to take much longer with me having to look up three different places.
