Nope. It's target player. But i always felt that for things like he is running, (Stuff like Splinterfright and Boneyard Wurm) it was a little slow to get off, and once you did enough of your library was gone that it didn't make too much of a difference.

I'm directing you to an image that depicts the exact number of people who give a fuck about your two decks.http://theosophical.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/zero2.jpg
I don't know about this guy, but when i make decks for fun i'll sometimes remove those really good cards that are used all the time. Just makes it different and more fun to play in my opinion. But once again, i don't speak for Othagiri.
He's no longer in standard, dude.
Do you think that Stonewright would be a better fit than Dragon Mantle?
Quick question. I'm thinking about running this thing at a local magic game and was wondering exactly what you use Spellheart Chimera for?
Also, how do the creature numbers look after the removal of Deadly Recluse? (I may add Deadly Recluse back in and remove something else depending on how it plays.)
The whip might not be a bad idea. I'll try to get some for testing, but i think it'll be a better fit. The good thing about this deck though, is that it doesn't rely heavily on others. They all fit amazingly well with each other, but they don't rely on them. A great thing about this deck is if they kill a card of yours, you can probably do something with it even when it's in the grave. While Corpsejack and Jarad's Orders are indeed midgame, that's what their supposed to be. This is a midranged deck, after all. Nothing in this deck really helps you the turn it comes out, and that's fine. Even though it gives them time to respond, i'll have another thing coming next turn regardless. This deck places enough creatures on the table that i don't really need to worry about keeping each one alive. Just enough of them to keep my synergy up. And burn spells like Mizzium Mortars isn't a huge threat to this deck. If i do so much as scavenge a slitherhead onto Corpsejack, they wont do anything. Keep in mind that the scavenge mechanic is used on every creature you have out when playing this deck. Reaper was actually in here before, but i took him out because he didn't really do anything besides his hexproof. I'm not using Hero's Downfall and Abrupt Decay because this deck is made on a budget, but i may need to add more artifact and enchantment removal.
Ah! I didn't even realize he worked with evolve! God damn it, I am keeping Experiment One!
You know who else does so much work? Me. And i get money for it. Deathrite Shaman and Desecration Demon are in the original deck, i just had to take them out because i'm poor. Experiment One is something that i haven't decided on yet. I guess you could say i'm..... Experimenting with him! I need another one drop is all. Deadly recluse is my only source of mainboard flying defense, and serves as a very useful deathtouch removal. I personally haven't had any problem with drawing Varolz, or tutoring into him with Jarad's Orders. He is who i usually grab using that card. Thanks for the input, though!
Golgari Charm is in the sideboard already. I don't feel like i need it in the main, but we'll see after i try it out. I won't be taking out Jarad's Orders as it is a very useful card for this deck. If you read about it in the description you may understand why. Mind if i ask what "better removal" your talking about? I have Putrefy and the quite popular Doom Blade with an Ultimate Price in the sideboard already.Drop Corspjack Menace? FjwgoaigoiawhgijwapgiuwajsaJfpiwjprjapjtq-9wuak;l??????????? Why would you even suggest something like that, good sir! It isn't about the 4/4 on turn four. It's about the nightmare that is it's ability. The good thing about the synergy in this deck is that dying isn't much of a problem. Also, why is someone killing Varolz when i try to play Alpha Authority on him a reason to remove Corpsejack Menace? Why exactly do you think i should use Whip of Erebos? I don't see the connection. Ratchet bomb isn't really needed, but Pithing Needle is definitely something I should look into. I think that Putrefy and Ultimate price make up for most of what Dark Betrayal could do for me. Desecration demon isn't much of a threat here because of that.Thank you very much for your input.
Did... Did you really just...What?
Once again, not standard.
None of those suggestions are standard.
Control would beat it, but ANY counters? No. ANY removal? no. ANY lifegain? Hell no! Your playstyle for this deck changes on what your playing against. Someones has counters? Wait until you have enough mana to counter their counter! Lifegain? Just play your sorceries and instants as normal, after you have Aqueous Form on him he can hit em for as much as you want! You don't have to have Armed and Dangerous out. Removal? This deck is full of counters... That one should be pretty obvious..."Travis Woo this, Travis Woo that!" Everyone always brings up Travis Woo. Is this his deck? No. It's based off it, but it's Memnite's. He can do whatever he wants. Why do we downvote your comments? It isn't because we disagree with you, it's because your being a dick about it. That's what downvoting is for.If your happy that this deck exists then shut up.
Then after just play a few more instants and sorceries and attack to finish off their remaining 5 to 10 life. Aqueous Form is an enchantment so he'll still be unblockable. If your playing against a deck based off of lifegain then yes, it would be a problem, but an extra 5 to 10 life isn't.Also, what did happen to Skullcrack? I believe that was a sideboard for the original, was it not?
It's math. And even though it is nine mana over all, playing them on two different turns means you only need five mana to play them both.
9 mana? I don't think he expects to play both of them at once...
You made a typo. Instead of months you put down mouths.You said as I quote, "It depends on the context really. If someone says Budget Deck, and intends on using it at FNM I strongly disagree with their judgment call" and "To win in a competitive format..."The description of this deck says things such as "buy some cheap cards, craft a deck, and challenge your friends" and "The Budget Decks -series is meant for your free time!"How does that not negate your previous comment? It seems to be right on the point...
OH MY GOD WILL EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP AND QUIT COMMENTING ON THIS STUPID THREAD!!!*Ahem*Please. And thank you.
