So there have been a lot of budget decks being made as of late and of course why not they are the most viable decks for new players or those who can't afford those ridiculously expensive cards (which I think is most of us, myself included).But have we not dreamed of those perfect decks that cost way too much?I have put together a Planeswalker deck (because it also seems no one likes planeswalkers too...) that aims at making the predisposition of natural selection at bit more obvious.
This deck is slow but my god does it work.Bring out your defenders at will and begin to feel the mana overwhelm you. Then once you have enough bring out doubling season and then just go crazy with your planeswalkers.Scenarios with doubling season in play:Sarkhan Vol - Instantly gain TEN 4/4 dragons (thats right...ten)Ajani Verdant - Instantly destroy opponents landsAjani, Mentor of Heroes - Instantly gain 100 lifeVraska, the Unseen - Instantly gain SIX 1/1 black assassin tokens with "whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player you win the game"Garruk, Primal Hunter - Instantly put TWO 6/6 green wurm tokens onto battlefield for each land you controlI think you can see where this is going. So the combo is slow to bring about but very possible and potent if achieved. Sterling Grove allows you to search for Doubling Season if it is not being drawn. As per usual help, comments and advice are always welcome. Enjoy.

At the moment, Gatecreeper Vine can't net you any mana (except the fact that he's a defender, used by Axebane). You should add some basic lands in (Add in a few forests, and maybe one of each Green/X gate?) You probably don't need all those Vivid lands; they come in tapped, which will really slow you down, and for the most part you just need green mana. All 12 of your mana dorks can get you whatever color you need (assuming one of each gate, for the vine), so you'll be able to cast the 'Walkers no problem. My suggested mana base would be (Assuming 22 lands, as you have, and all in a budget)- 7 Guildgates (2 each of Selesnya, Golgari, Gruul, and 1 of Simic)- 15 ForestThis way, you have the lands for Vine to search, but you also have a good proportion of lands that can come into play untapped so that you can get a little earlier of a start.

Thats a really good point, I wasnt sure if Vivid lands counted as basics and was hoping that would be cleared up, so indeed I will make these changes. Thankyou for the help, however I would like to keep gemstone mines in play so 11 forests and the guildgates.

Yea, Gemstones are cool, but I feel they're better for multicolor aggro, where you really need first/second turn mana of different colors. Your choice, though. My notes: This deck is very flimsy, as you can very easily end up with a field of mana and nothing to play even by turn 4-5, which most decks can win by; but your saving grace is that you only need one planeswalker with Doubling Season to be able to insta-win. It's very interesting. I don't know if you're willing to change up the planeswalkers you have, but if you are I would advise to replace any 'walker whose ultimate won't immediately win/save you. The weaker ones: - Liliana can bring back creatures, but very few creatures will be in the grave by then, so she will have a hard time winning. - Chandra can deal 10 damage and field wipe, but at 20 life your opponent will be coming back to kill you quickly. - Ajani Vengeant wipes their lands, but not any creatures they might already have on the board, and it doesn't hurt their life at all. They'll be able to come back before you can kill them, usually. - Elspeth makes your things indestructible, but it doesn't help kill them, and it doesn't give you life. A majority of decks will not care about your indestructibility.The strong ones: - Ajani, Mentor gives you 100 life; well enough to survive until you get a gamewinning 'walker. - Garruk gives you a s**t ton of 6/6s, which will end the game REALLY fast unless your opponent can board wipe. - Kiora gives you a 9/9 (or two) each turn, which is a HUGE clock. ^See Garruk. - Sarkhan Vol gives you (at least) 20 power in creatures. ^See Garruk. - Vraska gives you gamewinning tokens. Yes. The only one I can't quite tell: Nicol Bolas. His ultimate will cripple their hand and field, and deal some damage; however, I have a feeling his ultimate isn't QUITE strong enough to be able to kill your opponent before they can get back up. It is probably strong enough usually to hold them off until you get a winner, but you might notice that all the other winning 'walkers are green (which makes your mana easier!), and this guy's a little harder to cast. He's up to you, but I personally would choose against using him. If you're willing to switch them up, I would suggest using two each of the five green walkers (Ajani Mentor, Garruk, Kiora, Sarkhan, and Vraska), and remove Chandra, Liliana, Ajani Vengeant, Elspeth, and Bolas. If you do this, two things happen. 1. After you have Doubling Season, any planeswalker will basically win you the game right there. 2. Your entire deck will be green except for 10 cards, which need green and ONE other mana. Easy peasy. If you do this, you should probably go to only 1 of each of the guildgates (since you'll never need more than one of a nongreen color), and use more forests. I hope this helps. I really like your ideas here.
Yes this is my only dilemma, I have been trying to figure out how to increase draw chance other than Wall of Blossoms seeing as my mana curve is fine but if I dont get the right cards at the right time I'm at a lose however thats the point of the defenders to also delay the game.I have thought about cards like fog that will help prolong the game until I can grab Doubling Season and any one Planeswalker. Also yes the Gemstone Mines are there to try and give a bit of speed to the deck with the mana ramping possiblities. Nonetheless this deck poses some very interesting outcomes given the right circumstances
Also, I feel like you don't need Planar Portal if your planeswalkers can just win on the spot. You have 8 ways to get Doubling Season, so it shouldn't be too hard to get that out and then get a 'walker, if you replace the Portals with Walkers. Here's my version of your deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/ryudhyn/decks/planeswalker-deck/
True, true, I think i'll keep planar portal sideboarded for now and replace with some abundant growth and multiples of planeswalkers
Dude I love this deck and true it is slow but with the right amount of bluffing and mind games you last long enough to devastate your opponents out if nowhere lol. It is nice for folks to post these high priced decks for people like us to nickel n dime over a few months to finally surprise our friends with +1 from me.Oh you could add Nissan, World Waker to the deck since it's mostly green now her ultimate brings all lands from your deck out as 4/4 creatures so if you threw in Fires of Yavimaya or Anger (Anger harder for opponent to remove/ Fires easier search) all of your creatures would have haste. I know it seems farfetched but could you imagine using Nissan's ultimate then Garruk's ultimate right after with Doubling Season if creatures had haste OVERKILL lol!
