Deck Description

I was asked to create a modern deck with 1000$ budget. Here it is.
This is my first high-budget modern deck, but I guess this will do the trick. Or at least give temporal peace to the person who asked for this deck.

Also, I want to thank Gothy. He gave some good ideas for this deck. Creating this deck was a lot easier with your help.

This deck is open for all suggestions.

How to Play

Inspired by mymobbsdeep.

Like (almost) every other midrange Abzan, you are supposed to cast some pretty beefy creatures, while keeping your opponent's defenses down with killing spells.

150 dollars worth of lands...it does feel decadent, doesn't it?

Thank you for making this deck.
Northy...for everyone talking bullshit...I didn't see anyone make a Budget deck.
But you still made an expensive one.
Way to go dude, again, haters gonna hate.

Thank you Jessie. Sometimes I think how much harder my time here would be without your comforting words.

Though I was so ashamed of creating this pile of bullshit so I didn't even make this deck public. It is supposed to be viable only through that link in the Pillowfort's comments.
I am NOT going to create another Modern deck of this budget EVER again. I had no fun creating this. I'm sure there's no fun in playing this either. The modern gamemode seems like a dumb gamemode anyway. It is like having a competition about who has biggest wallet. He who has most money to buy more Tarmogoyfs, Lilianas and Dark Confidants than others wins.
Is there any fun in that? I don't think so.

I'm happy while I play casual. To me and my friends... MTG is a way to have fun. When I take a look at these modern decks... I cannot say can this be called fun anymore. I probably should find out. Maybe one day I will create a deck like this. Maybe one day. One day I am not as poor sonovabitch as I am now.

I hear you and feel your pain.
I am in the same boat here.
