No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


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

This deck is recreation from my old budget deck: "Budget Decks: Crab" since I wanted to give this idea another shot.

Okay, this rare-free 7-buck-worth deck attempts to defeat your opponent by attacking with highly defensive creatures.
Your first thought might be:
"How on earth I can defeat my opponents with creatures that have 1 power?"
That's the artistic thing about this deck. Attack with defensive creatures, allowing your opponent to choose which creatures they want to block, then use Twisted Image or Merfolk Thaumaturgist in order to swing some lethal damage through. Here's an example:

-You attack with Fortress Crab, Frilled Oculus and Aquamoeba.
-Your opponent is all like: "Man, what retard. Attacking with his/her own blockers? Well, it is his/her funeral." Your opponent lets you creatures through.
-"Surprise Mothafucka!" Suddenly you cast Tower Defense, which is followed by two Twisted Images and Aquamoeba's ability. (Your creatures are 8/1, 8/1 and 11/1.)
-Deal 27 damage to your opponent = GG.

In the case your opponent likes blocking your creatures, even if they are something like 1/3, Sleep, Overrun and Predator's Strike can help you a lot.

Maybe Disperse instead of Repulse so that you can bounce any type of nonland permanent? But otherwise, this would be one heck of interesting deck to play XD

Thank you for comments and suggestions. Though I guess Into the Roil could even be better than Disperse.

Yes, what brings more pleasure that beating your opponent with an 11/1 Fortress Crab?
