Deck discussion for Budget EDH: Burning Ballard

thanks. I'll be using Jaya as my general for now. So if you end up playing some guy in a USA Volleyball sweatshirt saying it's his first time playing commander with a Mono-Red EDH deck in the next few weeks, go easy on the poor fool.

I forgot where that phrase is from, but man, it fits perfectly XD

Some suggestions:
1. Cunning Sparkmage over Prodigal Pyromancer (haste burn!)
2. Some spells to consider: acidic soil, bend or break/citadel of pain (can be such a hard troll in multiplayer XD), Chandra Nalaar (pretty cheap, surprisingly for a planeswalker), Firestorm (1 mana, you get to choose your discards XD), Inferno, Lord of Shatterskull Pass (good mana sink if you don't have anything to play), Lavaborn Muse (multiplayer card), Pyrohemia (combined with the doll? great XD), Slagstorm, Guttersnipe (this one should be in here I think XD), volcanic fallout, Warp World (if you are feeling lucky!), World Fire (the greatest gambling)

On that note, what about a deck based around creepy dolls? XD

Have fun :)

Some good suggestions and I think they should look into some of these. However Worldfire is banned for many reasons.

I know this is budget but really no Squee, Goblin Nabob? You have room for another $15-20 worth of cards to put in. If you only want cards under 50 cent or a dollar you can add these in too.

Scuttlemutt
Firewing Phoenix
Magma Phoenix
Shard Phoenix
Skarrgan Firebird
Magebane Armor (when she blows up at least she won't die)
Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds
Curse of Bloodletting
Dictate of the Twin Gods
Anger (free haste when you discard is always good)

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is about $1-2 but you are playing mono-red and have all those mountains. (Expedition Map can help you find it)

You can add these cards and still be under budget. I have a Jaya deck myself (not budget friendly however) and I think you should try to help your commander out a little bit more.

Thousand-year elixir and heartless hidetsugu make for a MEAN combo. elixir works well with both hidetsugu AND the general. Dropping all life to 20 or below with Hidetsugu makes burn VERY viable, VERY FAST in EDH. A few double-down damage enchantments like the dictate of the twin gods or furnace of rath get ugly too!

Awesome deck as usual!

Can I make an EDH deck request? It would be interesting and fun to build, I promise.

JundWalker, you know that the commander has to be a legendary creature? Or are you just suggesting me to create an EDH with Stuffy Doll as its main win condition and you don't care about the commander? Answer me this question and I can get working. I always try my best if given a suggestion.

I meant like a good synergy deck with Stuffy Doll as the main attraction. Not sure who the commander would be though. Although I'd like a commander that would be easy to get out onto the field decently early in the game.

Something like this deck turned into an EDH deck:

Only add a lot more random fun old cards that would annoy the opponent even more. Oh, and try to keep it as budget as possible, I'm a student. lol

Hmmph... That gave me some good ideas... Self-destructive EDH? Sounds hilarious.
I guess I'll try to find a good commander, then get working.
