There are too meanings to this article, first, you don't need to spend a huge amount of money to make a good standard deck and that budget is not an excuse for 'shit'. The other meaning is to play what you know, it is such a fundamental part of magic that pros will play a tier 2 deck against tier 1s just because they know that tier 2 deck so well that their skill shines through. So first, I've basically outlined what I'm going to say but its this: budget is not an excuse for poor. Most of the budget decks on the hot page are TERRIBLE, literally some of the worst decks I've ever seen, even the intro packs could beat them, and that is saying a lot! OK rant over, but seriously please can all my readers start building decks, post them to any of my articles or anyone who posts here and we'll get the deck trending if its good! As I say, rant over!Now onto the meat of the article. If you've played a deck for a while, you are far more likely to be successful with it, because you know every nook and cranny of your deck and have more experience, and will thus make less mistakes than with a completely new deck that you don't know as well. With draft people always say you need to know the whole set, but imagine if you played with those cards a bunch of times more... well you get the picture, learning all the little synergies of your deck then you are far more likely to munch your opponents.Honestly, that is about it, the deck is mono-white aggro because I'm married to mono-white aggro and I feel confident I could pick it up and play it whatever set because really, the skills are transferable! Sorry about the shortness of the article, but I'm totally exhausted from my exams so this isn't a very good one, but I wanted to try and get some content out to you!Even if my brain isn't in gear, keeeeeeeeeeep brainstorming
Splerge out creatures and then turn them sideways to slaughter your opponent in the face!

Hope exams and stuff go well.
Cheers mate! Now I really think this one has had it xD people like budget and bad decks for reasons unknown to me!
Because, ~80% of magic is played in an unorganized setting where judges aren't there to enlighten average magic players whom unknowingly cheat because they play cards how they assume them to work, rather than how the cards actually do. E.g. I know of some idiots that thought psychic intrusion was unbeatable because they didn't know that when cards are cast (from exile) they go to the graveyard--Instead they assumed that the exiled card could be cast repeatedly because it would always be exiled. (One of many many examples)There's a rulebook that no one reads outside of aspiring judges, and wizards doesn't really help bring clarity to the game by creating mechanics whose reminder text is wrong, inadequate, or misleading (miracle for example). When RTFC doesn't work... then you've got some issues. The average magic player is stupid because the average person is stupid, but even good players make mistakes and seek advice too.As for the budget decks: I find that you generally get players that just buy booster packs because they see quantity over quality, or the ones that buy singles but abstain from buying anything over X$/card because they are ignorant to the fact that some cards are so good that they actually warrant the price--- usually using some heuristic to justify their logic like, "I had one non-basic land in my [insert tribe] deck and I still got mana-screwed." The latter are the ones that get a sense of self-righteousness and feel the need to tout their holier-than-thou attitude because maybe with a sack of luck and on the play their $10 casual green infect deck beat someone's $X00 standard deck. But, there are some people who just don't want to commit to Magic. Maybe they already have a hobby-or something better to spend their money on. For the first time ever years I built a non-foil EDH deck-- that's budget to me. It cost me a couple thousand less than it could have.
maybe throw in 1 big creature to be a closer? its not budget bud id probably use wingmate roc and id probably add brimaz also
Dude I don't care about budget, Brimaz is for sure a brilliant card as is wingmate roc, I'd prefer Brimaz, I'll look at what to cut, thanks :)
Gothy, I really like the thought and skill exemplified by your decks and I really love how much time and effort you put into the descriptions and comments. You've earned yourself a new follower and I'd be delighted that if you had any spare time you'd hop on over to my page and check out my decks. They probably aren't as crisp and polished as you decks as I think I may be a bit more casual player than you are, but I would like to get better. So if you have anytime check them out! :) Keep up the good work, dude.
Thanks man, that makes me feel really great, I'll check them out :)
Gothy can you teach me how to play a control deck very well? Like veeeery well? I get the point of them its just sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong :( I would appreciate help and I gave u a thumbs up, please show me your "ways"
Ive actually written an article on this, its 'Brainstorming: Time of Control' Most impotant is try and avoid tapping out unless its end of their turn and their tapped out
Woot another control player :)
Thank you :D
semm very legit, but sprite of laboratory and defiant strike not good combo
Oh ye sure, there is one nonbo but hey, +1/+0 might just get the job done!
Hey guys! I have a cool idea for a budget deck in standard that you guys might wanna check out.you can find it at:http://www.mtgvault.com/ladon229/decks/budget-rw-aggro/
Go away with sodding budget! I'm sick to the teeth of it!
what do you mean "sodding budget"? I thought that's what you wanted to promote?
Only on Thursdays. Rest of the time it's competitive.
ok????????
No, never budget, nothing that defends its self by saying I'm budget so I can be shit. I'vesimply had it with this site and its obsession with budget.
You should check out the decks I posted after the reveka edh deck.
Gothy had a minor break down xD tonnes of exam stress (finally over) and applying to Oxbridge has kinda got to me!!
So basically you want people to make decks of near-perfect quality with INSANE costs? I can do that!The only problem is that not everyone can afford to play those decks...
I want at least good quality and you won't do that the majority of the time with budget and no, not everyone can, but I write for people who can, I don't pretend to cater to everyone
Are decks like these considered good budget decks?http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/decks/budget-uw-equipment/http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/decks/budget-standard-izzet-artifact/http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/decks/budget-modern-esper-contol/http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/decks/budget-junkabzan-midrange/http://www.mtgvault.com/theswarmer/decks/budget-modern-8-rack/Cuz I hope they are as that's what I try to make.
