Want it pure mono...or that would definitely work.
My wife plays magic...a little, besides that I never get to play anyone.
So, I thought, let me make a mono deck of every color.
That way she could easily understand the concept of Magic.
She could improve. Get better.
Then we could decide to move her up to more expensive/complicated/dual colored decks.
I need a red one and a mono white one.

For red...this is what i have, right now:

I actually have all of those cards.
The deck is 53 cards.
I know 4 of those cards need to be draw like Browbeat...besides that...I still need a few cards to have it complete.
It is straight, and to the point...for what it is.

Question, you budget guys.
What do you think about Orcish Librarian?
Is he viable in a cheap red burn deck?
Or Browbeat still the way to go?
Most of the time though, people just take the damage and deny you from drawing 3 cards.

What I mean...is what are some great draw spells like Browbeat and Librarian?

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Well spoken, Alleyway Jack.

Yes please!!!

I think I have a red one about done...

Maybe it isn't great. But it clocks in at 30 dollars.

I need a white one, extremely bad.

Played last night with my green destruction deck, a cephalid constable bounce blue deck, and a wall of blood/rite of consumption black deck.

Green= 3 wins 1 loss
Black= 2 wins 2 losses
Blue= 0 wins.

I want a cheap mono white deck and a cheap mono red deck...at no more than 35 dollars.
I figure my wife and I could play, whenever we found the time, and 1 cheap deck of every color sounded like a decent plan.

I build decks and never plan to buy them.
For me, I pick a neat card like Furnace of Rath...and think, "Can I build a deck around it?"
You build the deck.
And it is neat. Cool. You like it.
But is it practical...is the deck going to get you a lot of wins...or be worth your money?
If not...I don't buy it.

"It is always about quality. I dont give two shits about a deck being budget if its got quality."

And there, right there, is what making casual budget decks hard.
It is easy to throw 1,000 dollars on a deck and make it have quality.
It is much harder to throw 50 bucks on a deck and make it have quality.
For me...finding that one killer 50 dollar deck...I enjoy and love it more than I ever will that killer 2,500 dollar Turn 2 deck.

I am proud to be a kitchen table casual magic player.
Those type of games are always the most fun.

Tourney decks where, back in the day, you watched your opponent have one turn take 20 minutes while he beat you with a Tolarian Academy/Stroke of Genius deck...that shit ain't fun. Same deal with some of these Modern elf decks. Not interactive.
I, like the next guy...love a good green destruction deck or blue bounce deck...but if your opponent can't play anything because he has no lands...how is he interacting? He is just sitting there with his finger up his bum.

And that is the point...Magic is suppose to be interactive fun.
Not much interacting you can do when your opponent is averaging Turn 3 wins.
Tourney games, from what I have heard, is seeing who can pull off (most consistently) Turn 3 and Turn 4 wins.
That sounds boring.
Players so damned hardcore that playing any card over 4 mana is considered too slow to win...again...jesus, relax, chill, take a breather...no need to be in such a rush!

I kinda hate about myself that I use to be a Spike.

I am not hating. I think there is plenty of space in this community for budget casual players as well as Legacy Spike players.

Burn Willows is nice.
Haven't forgotten this challenge. Just been really busy.

Mirror-Sigil Sergeant, maybe?
Nantuko Shaman

Not finding much in regards to creatures.

Has my +1.
Lack of draw will very much hurt this deck, I do agree.
Not sure what to suggest.
I might go with Mentor of the Meek...but maybe there aren't enough creatures to do it justice.


Good luck.

My green deck is land destruction.
As is I want 1 budget (35 dollars and under) mono deck of every color. 5 decks to play with my wife.
So far I have:
1 mono green land destruction deck
1 mono blue bounce deck
1 mono black creature sack deck
I need a mono white and a mono red

I am thinking the white one should be the most well rounded and defensive.
Able to withstand losing mana. Able to withstand being bounced. Able to withstand opponent manipulating life with black creatures. Able to withstand any speed/burn red might bring.

So...in short, red land destruction is out of the question as green already has that.

Mono white prison.
I have a few white decks I just made.
Very heavy with fog, creature removal, enchantment/artifact removal, damage prevention.

Not sure what I want with red beside these 2 cards:
4 Fireblast
4 Furnace of Rath.

I want to Play the 4 mana for Furnace of Rath, and then sack two mountains to do 8 damage to the opponent.
I am thinking, with red...a mixture of both creatures and spells.
Old school sligh...maybe.

Nope. I wanted it more aggro...less lifegain.
But I have suggested the card to others and have others suggest it to me.
Thanks for the advice.

Wow, this is really great advice.
I will get to it soon.

I am seeing a lot of Zurgo Helmsmasher for Commander with Suit. But that would make four colors. Yuck.

Maybe a Donate style deck. Play creatures and put suits on them, then donate them to your opponent?

What would be the mechanics of something like Assault Suit-Erg Raiders. Give them it via Bazaar Traders?
Not sure how it would work.
Having a hard to suggesting cards for this deck do to my poor ability to understand the finer details of Magic rules.

Jeez. Okay. Give me some time on this one.
You make some of the weirdest decks!

I was afraid people would mention those cards. It will make it non-budget. But those cards would make the deck much better and well rounded, that is for sure.

I will see what I can do.

Done. Thanks Kazzong.
I just for the life of me can't come up with a really good white deck.

I like that one better...with all of the removal cards.
It would be aggravating to win against.
Can you check it out and see if it is better than this one?

Finally...this one, is this the best out of the 3?
