Deck Description

Cancerous?
Get it? Coz' they are crabs?

This is a Budget Deck (BD for short). It is meant primarily for casual play, and its estimated mid value is aimed to land between 10 and 20 US dollars at most. Take this detail into consideration when browsing the deck!

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

Crab tribal?
Whatever works, man.

Combine control-elements with crabs and even some milling in order to create an unholy abomination never quite seen before. Quite spooky, if you ask me!

This deck's main wincon is by overwhelming the field with some nasty crab-tokens from Scuttletide, or alternatively slowing down the game until you can mill your opponents with Mystic Redaction. (They can't know the truth about how crabs rule the world!) However this is gonna turn out, make yourself comfortable: this is gonna take a while!

(Note to self: This deck's discard-triggers for Mystic Redaction are Catalog, You Find the Villains' Lair, Mirrorshell Crab's ability and Lone Sandbar, not to mention Scuttletide!)

Take a look at the sideboard whenever you feel like you are lacking something!
