Deck Description

So this is a project I wanted to engage in- To make a set of 10+ super-budget 60-card decks that are simple, relatively easy to play, relatively easy to understand, and bring across the fundamentals of how Magic Works. We've since gone way past 10, with tons more in the works, and I've really enjoyed the challenge of trying to make these decks easy to play and understand, fun, and all under a $15 budget, sideboard included.

The main goal here is that you could easily build these deck for a low cost and use them as an easy introduction to how magic works, to teach a group of new players both how to play, and give them a sense of Why, a sense of what fun things they're getting into. These decks aren't gonna be particularly good, or even legal in any particular format if it stops me from including a card I think is good for the deck, but they should be fun and interesting without being too hard to get into. They should be an easily-accessible example of how fun Magic: The Gathering can be.

It took me way too long to actually make a Mono-R agro deck, but here we are- Some Mono-Red to make your day more fun. It's simple, it's fast, it's mean, and it plays a hastey bear with first strike on turn 2, which is a little bit brutal.

As for budget: Maindeck cost is currently at about ~$10.30 (according to the middle blue numbers on this very site under estimated value), sideboard at about ~$3, which leaves us nicely in-budget.
