Deck Description

Are you bored? Does Magic: The Gathering feel old and vapid? Got any useless bucks in your bank account? Ladies and Gentlemen, I have solution.
Use your bank account on nearest MtG marketplace website and buy some cheap cards, craft a deck, and challenge your friends! To double the fun, ask your friend to create such a deck too!
The Budget Decks -series is meant for your free time! These are meant to inspire you, and deck's value is meant to be low! (Between 10 and 20 bucks.)

How to Play

Inspired by Buwalda, one the greatest fellows out there! I love ya!

Buwalda wanted me to create Standard Hydra deck that rocks some butt, but I have to say it is not standard... Yet. In the next week it will be, when Journey into Nyx gets released.

Thanks Northy! I'm so building this! It reaps souls man! If I wanted to add poluktanos, what would I take out though? Plus, how much is he?

Polukranos is something about eight bucks. You may could remove one Nessian Wilds Ravager, maybe?

What about making a new g/u hydra deck and fitting it with another deck for duel decks that cost 12$ for both and that one of them can beat an orzhov exalted control deck? My friend wouldn't want to use black.
Please, this will be my only request and if you do it, I would be so happy
Maybe blizzard472's boros double strike deck? Hydras against double strike? Just idea, but I would want a good hydra deck

You want budget duel about hydras versus something neat like boros?
Sounds a bit like duel decks Heroes vs Monsters, but if you want so, I can create them.

Yeah, boros or tokens, whatever you like except black, just would want hydras, and please make it 12$ budget for both, need to fix my problem with that @$$, and hook my friend into the game, could one of them be good against orzhov exalted control?
Also need to take shipping from tcgplayer in consideration of the 12$ because that is all I have
Thank you
BTW, the deck I have in real life right now is some of the the hero part of the heroes vs monsters, and a bunch of random cards that don't fit. So it doesn't need to be boros, just to make duel decks that can beat orzhov
Also if you're doing boros, you can look at "my boros enchantment", they are the cards I have, so putting those in won't hurt my budget, I will also post my green I made with a bunch of random cards I have, it's surprisingly good, even though it's not really good

Two decks that both fit in 12 bucks? That sounds pretty rough.

Yeah, that's why I turned to you, you are THE budget master, I mean, you make 3$ decks!

I'm afraid that those deck's values are gonna be something like 10 bucks per one.
Hydras are just too priceful (every one of them costs more than 50 cents) to be created with 6 bucks.

Okay. Made two duel decks. Both are something about 10-11 bucks.
I totally understand your anger. I'm disappointed about myself too. I can't just make them public. I'm too ashamed.

Just do whatever you think will work out, but you made simic hydras, would that one be good enough? And I do have boros cards posted, so that takes a chunk off the price, maybe you can improve my boros enchantment deck for 2-3$ and make hydras with 9-10$, also if there is anything you want to add that you are not sure I have, just ask me
I'm not angry at you, 12$ for 2 decks is pretty rough, and that has to include shipping, so it's not your fault

Also, 200 reputation celebration!!!!!

Hey Northy, I know this is an old deck, but I ordered it and most if the cards are here, and I was thinking about splashing red for a Xenagod and Xenawalker. How do you splash? I've heard people use the term, but what does it mean and how do I do it?

"Splashing" means that you add some cards of other color into it. You remove few cards in order to add cards of other color that go well with the deck's strategy. You have to switch some of the lands too.

If I would have to splash some red here, I would remove at least one Vastwood Hydra, one Karametra's Acolyte, one Crowned Ceratok and one Savage Summoning.

If you are trying to be standard, Signal the Clans gets you semi-random creature, and I think it is pretty cool.
And about lands... If you get two temples, and you are adding two Xenagoses in, I recommend adding something about 5 mountains so you will get one mountain or one temple every game.

Well, Clan Defiance is pretty deadly card if you have lot of mana.
In the other hand, you'll most surely have a lot of mana in a hydra deck. Especially when you run Xenagos.

Ok! I'll pick up 1 clan defiance and 1 signal the clans with the other stuff!
