Deck Description

Savagery and sophistication:
This deck is hard to overpower OR outsmart!

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

This is a deck theme that I've been crafting for years now, and have quite similar one IRL as well. The trick is to play creatures which grow permanently bigger every time you cast a handy-dandy instant spell, so you can focus on outmaneuvering your opponents the moment your creatures won't get killed right away.

Try to cast a 2-drop creature and keep it safe until you get to untap. As soon as this happens, you are pretty much safe already, as you have a ton of tools to keep them safe both from creatures as well as spells. Start attacking in a steady fashion, constantly gnawing at your opponent's hit points while growing up your creatures in the process. Counter any pesky cards with counterspells or other cleverly placed instant-spells.


Statistics: (out of 5)
- Deck Speed: <><><> (How quick the deck is?)
- Creature Focus: <><><><><> (How much this deck relies on creatures?)
- Creature Size: <><><> (How big are the main creatures of this deck?)
- Card Synergy: <><><> (Do the cards of the deck help out each other well?)
- Card Value: <><><> (How much card advantage can you get out of your cards?)
- Level of Complexity: <><><><> (How hard this deck is to properly play?)

Pros:
+ As soon as this deck gets rolling, it becomes extremely hard to stop.
+ Able to negate most threats your opponents play.

Cons:
- Vulnerable early on.
- Vulnerable to aggro.

Quirion Dryad could be replaced with Managorger Hydra or Quandrix Pledgemage. The Hydra has the advantage of getting a +1/+1 counter whenever a spell is cast, even when your opponent does so, while Pledgemage simply allows you to benefit also from your mono green spells. Drawback is that both creatures costs {1} more mana to cast.

What about storm cards? Chatterstorm or Weather the Storm aren't that expensive and Dragonsguard Elite (or Quandrix Pledgemage if you add him) could also profit from the copies.
