Deck Description

Should I cast this? Nah. How about this? I dunno. What about a card like this? Maybe.

This is a Budget Elder Dragon Highlander deck (BEDH). It is meant for the Elder Dragon Highlander format, a.k.a. Commander. If you are not familiar with the format, I'll link it below for you.

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

The best part about playing a cycling-deck is that you can choose which cards to play and which to not, offering you a ton of possibilities even in the most mundane situations. This one attempts to be a functioning control deck while offering you a plethora of choices on every single turn.

This deck's main win con is hunkering down and covering the board with creature tokens as well as pinging for constant damage using cards like Savai Thundermane or Lightning Rift. Once the board has filled up nicely, cards like Coordinated Charge or Pursue Glory can become really become quite handy despite them being rather bad cards in general.


Statistics, pros and cons. Consider reading these, especially if you are a newbie!

Pros:
+ Every single card becomes a choice. Ooh, the options!
+ As soon as you get a few pieces into play, each cycle becomes something that oozes advantage: creature tokens, buffs, debuffs, you name it!

Cons:
- Every play requires some thought: should you cycle or cast?
- Requires some setup, during which is quite vulnerable.
- More vulnerable to boardwipes than on average.
