Deck discussion for Modern Samurai

Okay, before I start to give suggestions, I just need to know one thing. When you say $15, do you mean that the price of the deck can only equal 15, or it can have an additional 15?

15$ more, but I only have 1 lightning helix and basic lands for this deck
My other option would be to find a way to make your deck I just commented on cheap enough with shipping, by finding cards I have that could replace some, but I don't have any really good cards

So the deck will have in total 2 Lightning Helixes, and you simply aren't going to include the lands and the other Helix in order to not shift the price. Am I getting all that correctly?

Yes, oh I only have 1, just forgot to take helix out, but if it fits budget, I can add another

Okay.
If you want my suggestions. . . To start with. . .
+3 Kitsune Blademaster
+1 Indebted Samurai
+2 High Ground, will combo well with Masako.
Tell me what you think of these first.

All good, except I'll sideboard high ground, since it will come in useful only against token decks, and my samurai probably won't survive 2 blocks under normal circumstances

Before I suggest more cards, might I ask if you are going for Midrange or pure Aggro?

More or less aggro, but with ways of dealing with other stuff

Well, if you're going for Aggro, might I suggest 1 or 2 Firemane Avengers?

In my opinion, since this is more Aggro than Midrange, might I suggest dropping Hold the Line?

Yeah, I guess I don't need it that much, I'll sideboard it
What do you think of armory of iroas?

A good card to sideboard may be Fumiko the Lowblood.

Eh, it's a good card, but I don't know. Maybe after an adjustment or two it may play better. Another question, are you going to focus on Samurai and Legends, or just Samurai?

Very sorry, internet crashed
More samurai, but with some legends to help out in the late game

Well, while I agree the Maul is good and all, it's not going to be all that helpful. If you were focusing a little more on Legends, I would suggest it. But, like I said, these are all my opinions. You don't have to take these words by heart. I can guarantee you I am no master deck builder.

Oh, yeah, I had forgotten to take out the cards that didn't fit anymore, thanks
You might not be a master deckbuilder, but you do have some bada$$ decks and suggestions

Hey Barracuda, I actually just made my own Red / White Samurai, I figured it would be a way for you to see what kind of deck I would try to aim for, and if you get any ideas, you can draw from it. Feel free to look at it here.
I'll publish it sometime, but for now I would like just for you to look at it.

Great deck mate!
The first suggestion that came to my mind is this new card, this: Brave the Sands. It is basically like Serra's Blessing and High Ground stuck together. It is just so OP in a samurai deck.
Another one could be sideboard Warleader's Helix. It is pretty cool piece of removal.

But otherwise, as I said, great deck! Valor Made Real was really bright idea!

Good suggestion, but it just takes away the surprise of call to glory, I will test it out first (make proxys) and see how it plays
Valor made real was legendaryhero7's idea, it's really time for me to look at the New cards that are coming out
Thank you once again for helping me

Hey guys, what about archetype of courage instead of no-dachi? It would give a bonus to all my creatures
And I might have found a way to drop the shipping price, I'm not sure, so you can suggest more expensive cards, and I will put them in the sideboard

I think Archetype is good choice, since it also removes first strike from your opponents. That makes samurai almost unbeatable in combat.

OK, I proxied it and played a little, and even though gruul bloodrush was what I went against, it needs to add power to my samurai, which is here the expensive cards like balefire liege and fumiko come in, but is there any good cards to increase all my creatures power, that would be better early game than glory of warfare, or I just add more warfares?

Well, one card is always Glorious Anthem. Other suggestions are simply cards like Accorder Paladin.

No, I'd rather pay the extra mana for glory of warfare, but thanks anyways
I am going on a family trip, might be no internet, so be back on Monday

There was nothing special, just that I could see my parents before they go off again

It is important to spend time with those you love. Who knows when it is the one final change...
It still bothers me that I wasn't able to meet my grandma before she died. If I had known she that she were in that bad condition...

PS. It looks like this is my 3300th post on this website.

Yes, I know
I know how that feels, I never was able to see any of my grandparents
What condition was she in?
Just 2 more!

Well, she had a cancer. Pretty much the end of story.
Thank you for understanding though.

Cancer, in my opinion, is one of the worst things to go through, I am sorry for bringing that up
That is what I am here for, I won't judge others or a situation without at least trying to understand
Thank you for understanding that I understand, if that makes sense
