Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This deck is all about losing life to play things. You're slowly killing yourself, but there are some advantages to losing life. You could get out a huge Death's Shadow early and just beat down your opponent or just slaughter your enemy with low cost high value creatures.

Sideboard should be customized according to your local meta.

Suggestions are welcome, but please note that the budget of the deck is around 25$.

How to Play

1. Almost kill yourself
2. Kill your enemy

Deck discussion for Budget: Killing Yourself

Nice deck. Definitely like the losing life theme of your deck. My only suggestion would be to boost your defenses since with your dwindling life, you will be an easy prey to your opponent.
You could change victim of night for murder, for a more all rounded removal.

Why not splash another colour to get advantage of red removal, white defense-boost or green empowerment? Most cards that do those things are common, ergo very cheap, helping you stay within the 25$ budget.

While I do appreciate the advice, splashing another colour to help with defense doesn't feel right to me. This deck is obviously a very casual deck and meant for a bit of fun. So the gameplan is to either kill yourself or to barely kill your enemy without losing yourself.

As for your suggestion on murder, it really depends on your local meta. If people run zombies, vampires and werewolves then maybe it isn't the best removal, but otherwise it's really good. So I think it's more of a "meta call" on which removal you'd rather use.

Thanks for the advice, even if they don't really fit the deck in my opinion. I do agree that the deck needs more defensive options to make it viable, but like I said, casual deck.

Thanks for the clarification and your swift answer... Really hadn't thought about your deck that way... Hope you have fun playing with it and I am waiting to see how you put some backbone in your deck...
Why not looking at my new deck as well? Would love to read your opinion about it.
