Budget Modern Azorius Control

by TheSwarmer on 18 May 2015

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (3)


Instants (4)

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

It's a basic control deck, nothing special to it...

Shit worth talking about:
Skywise Teachings: One of the main win conditions, after that game has gone for quite a while you can start using this all the time and get yourself a pretty nice army.

Render Silent: I chose this one cause of the late game impact it has and also the fact that it stops storm.

How to Play

Stall and win. leave mana open during your opponents turn to counter spells and if there is nothing to counter use Urza's Factory/Jace's Ingenuity.

The good matches are pretty much everything you can keep under control game 1 and that is everything pretty much.

The bad matches are things that kill you too fast or in a too unfair way, things like infect, burn, affinity, some aggro decks.

My budget decks are supposed to let you have fun! Which is what i think MtG should be about, i try to make these decks as competitive as possible while still leting you to have a blast while playing them. If you can make your friends to spend around 50$ you could buy 2-4(some of my decks are under 10$)And some are over 50) of my decks and make the experience even richer! Also don't just copy the whole deck(you can, but if you can improve something DO IT!), if you have a better idea pls let me know, i can't always make the perfect deck and sideboard. Again GL and HF!

Thank you for sharing that, I'm really happy it works.
Through looking back at in now maybe there is a better win condition than Skywise Teachings, AEtherling is one of the best budet control win conditions, and Lone Revenant is a favorite of mine, maybe much better than Skywise Teachings.
Also think twice might be better than Jace's Ingenuity.

I know this deck list is quite old but it should be still valid :)
I'm wondering about the How to play section about using Urza's Factory/Jace's Ingenuity but you include neither of them in the deck list

edit: can you recommend any other budget decks from your list to have a look into? primarly interested in modern/standard

I used to make TERRIBLE combo decks. I don't like to think about it

I did have some good fun with it. Basically none of my combos were competitive. Most were three card wincons with no accompanying synergy, but it was a fun challenge to continuously try to think up new ways to pop off. All of that sprang from my discovery of what magic really was the first time I saw Dragonstorm work a million years ago. I dedicated my 1000th deck on here to it. Good times, if embarrassing to look back on and think 'my god, I thought it was a good idea to rely on a deck that did three-card combos with nothing else going on'.

Then there was the old _____ and R&D's Secret Lair combo that I played around with ad nauseum. Great times really.

Wishing blessings and good fortune to anyone who comes across this comment! Just a few months ago, my life was falling apart. I had lost almost everything after a series of failed business decisions. I was buried in debt, stressed, and unsure of how to rebuild again. I always played the lottery for fun, but as things became financially difficult, I started looking for a real breakthrough. That’s when I came across a remarkable man called Dr. Alaska, who has helped countless people around the world regain financial stability and success. He prepared a powerful spell for me and revealed a set of secret lucky numbers. I followed his guidance and played the next draw. To my absolute shock and joy, I ended up winning $350 million just like he predicted! That win changed everything today I am debt-free, financially secure, and invested in multiple businesses internationally. I truly believe Dr. Alaska is a divine helper sent into this world. Without him, I don’t know how I would have survived the darkest period of my life. If you’re going through financial struggles or need a breakthrough in any area of your life, don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Alaska. He is real, powerful, and genuinely helps people.
