by NorthernWarlord on 30 October 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Enchantments (4)

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 the solution.
Use your bank account on nearest MTG marketplace website to 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 LeeroyMcNorris.

Changeling is a very handy ability.
It is mostly why this deck has 4 copies of Crucible of Fire.
...and three Broodwardens...
...and a single Captain of the Watch...
...
...Nuff' said.

Deck discussion for Budget Decks: Nasty Changeling

Super cool deck! I love the ability changeling! Oathkeeper, takeno's daisho could be very good in hear, and same with soulcatcher's aerie. :)

Aerie drops it to only Legacy legal.. While Modern may not be the way you were going.. I may switch this brew up and play it in Modern.

What about Lord of the Unreal or Drogskol Captain ? Cheap Asceticism and Glorious Anthem in one :D
Or Pheres-Band Warchief instead of/in addition to Captain of the Watch?
Oh and maybe a Reaper King if you wanna drive people really mad, its worth the money :D
Or Slivers? All the possibilities... ^^

is taurean mauler expensive?
and what about some rebels? they can tutor your creatures direct into play.
Maybe you could even use some rebels + crib swap or nameless inversion.

sadly rebels wont work cus changelings are Shapeshifter spells so rebels cant fetch em. Only then they enter the battelfield they get all creature types.

0

No, changelings can be fetched with rebels, they have all creature types at all times, which includes them being in your deck. :)

^ yeah. shapeshifters are everything, so you can search for them. Similarly, Sliver overlord can search for amoeboid changling (fun combo there)

Probably.

And if you put it on a changeling, it basically gets +2/+2 for each other creature in play because your opponents creatures. :)

Taurean Mauler is a bit pricey, so I guess I could put one to the sideboard.

By the way, you seem to be a quite new account around here, according to your comment, deck and reputation levels. Anyways, I want to properly introduce myself.
I am NorthernWarlord. Northy as short. I'm pretty much the head of creating budget decks around here. I also like to help people, so if you want me to check out any of your decks or you have a deck idea that you would love to see as a budget version, please let me know.

It is an honor to meet you, JaceonTheMindSculptor. Hope your opening hands are always lucky!
(By the way, I am not American nor British, so I apologize the mistakes in my English language.)

Someone has to give +1 likes to your comments in order to make your reputation level increase, as far as I know. Mine is about 1700, which is pretty high around here.

Do you ever make non-budget decks?

I rarely create anything non-budget. It just doesn't usually feel comfortable.

Oh, this looks FUUNNNN.

Couple other awesome drops for consideration:
Seshiro (all your changelings get +2/+2, and when they deal combat damage to a player you draw a card) - cmc 1 higher than brood warden, but dang.

Ezuri, renegade leader. may be more difficult having that much green mana available in a budget deck, but he can end it RIGHT quick for you.

Also, a great card draw with changeling is mass appeal.

Thought about doing a changeling theme EDH with reaper king, maybe a prospect for future Northern consideration?

sounds fun. i want to make a edh deck but i think my budget is to low to make it:( maybe to the end of december.
Seshiro and Ezuri, renegade leader cost to much to do so this is still in budget maybe Seshiro.

I'd love to see an EDH based on using all 5 colors and dragons in preparation for the new dragon-related cards in the set coming out.

not too shabby North. as if mirror changeling wasn't OP enough already. drogskul pushes this to the brink, and gently tips it over. :)

personally though I like lord of the unreal better. but it might be more expensive of a card.

0
Posted 17 November 2014 at 10:40

Yes, and it also could be harder to cast thanks to its mana cost.
But thanks a lot for suggesting.

0
Posted 18 November 2014 at 06:57

it could, but it is also only a single color as well. so if you only get blue, you can still cast it. so easier and not at once I guess.

Deck is super fun to play. One of the best moments for me was when I went up against a sliver deck and all those abilities applied to my creatures it was awesome. Very well balanced, i haven't had a game yet where I lost by a substantial amount. Only edits I made was I took out a few broodwarden and stuck some of the legendary snake creatures that were mentioned in the comments. I love Alpha Status in this deck but unfortunately i play on MTGO and legacy is reserved for those weird unbeatable decks so i try and avoid it as much as I can. Overall an awesome deck.

Great Deck! It would be even more awesome if a Sliver Hivelord Was added, to make all changelings invincible. It might be a bit expensive for the budget, however.

knight exemplar might be better, I think. because cheaper for same ability, +1/+1, and not legendary so you can put multiples of them out. :)
