New series I am working on, where I am assembling the cheapest possible modern decks. the goal is to let anyone into the format, without breaking the bank. I want you to be able to assemble a fun, decent deck for a $20 bill and maybe a trade. I want the cards in these decks to be playable in other decks, or let you expand the deck currently, card by card. the sideboard here is card I would save up to purchase and add to the deck as you see fit.
soul sisters revolves around creature that have the triggered ability of gaining you a life when a creature enters the battlefield. when you combine this with cheap creatures, token producing spells, and Ajani's pridemate, you get a winning strategy that gains enough life to draw the game out, and has enough bodies to swing through damage to finish

A nice card for an alternative win condition is Chalice of Life. You should have no problem flipping it into Chalice of Death, which you can then use to speed up your opponent's loss.

I removed the midnight haunting for 1 chalice, I really enjoy the idea. thanks for the suggestion! keeps us under $30 too
Wow, more props for always finding ways to bridge the competitive vs. budget gap, & being dedicated enough to the game (& this community) to do so. +1.
I just want formats to be open to play. magic is a $$ game and I recognize that, but it doesn't mean its closed off. I take a lot of motivation from SaffronOlive on MTGGoldfish, so I am specifically not covering decks he has already done
just a fyi, I have this built on MTGO, under name Kirby92. if anyone wants to playtest just chat me, its pretty grindy but a lot of fun!!!! I have a great twin matchup which I find hilarious. anyone have a card in budget better than doomed traveler? need a solid one drop!
Apothecary initiate?
How is $30 "Ultra-budget?"
how isn't it? you ever heard of a playable deck that cost less? im a competitive player, ill spend $250 on a single card, pretty sure this is the cheapest modern competitive deck viable
I've seen good decks for under $10. I know most decks can't be like that, but that's what I'd say ultra-budget is. I've made decks for under 30 and I didn't think of them as ultra-budget.
hmm I mean are you playing in FNM's with them? I think its unfair to hold me to someone elses standard of what is "budget". im not making a deck for casual kitchen table matches at home, rather as an entry into semi-competitive formats. if you can make a playable deck for under $10 id love to see it, I just don't see it. to me, this is the cheapest possible deck you can win sanctioned games with
I'm not saying that it isn't budget at all, just not "ultra-budget." For a competitive deck it is cheap
thanks for the feedback. if you read through my previous budget series, which was a modern run of decks that were under $100 and gave you a chance to win an fnm, I think you may understand more. since my normal competitive budget decks are $100 or less, this falls into "ultra-budget" for my uses. there are plenty of cheaper decks, just not in my category of play
Pretty nice budget soul sisters deck Zak. All the suggestions I have would wreck the budget aspect of it hehehe. As far as the sideboard goes, how about the white staples? Stony Silence, Disenchant, etc.?
yea the sb has a lot of good options, I just used it to show what I would add if I was breaking budget
Hey Zak. Been a while since I checked back on this deck. Hopefully it's been doing well in casual play =)Since you're a Modern fellow, I was wondering if you could help me out with a modern tribal zombies deck.http://www.mtgvault.com/tleung84633/decks/world-war-z/Need your expert advice since I'm trying to make it strong against the current meta now that Eldrazi has been nerfed.

so with thalia's lieutenant being printed, I think this can turn into mono white humans, adding this new card and champion of the parish to the deck. it may just be better than squadron hawk. suggestions? mono W humans seem like a reasonable modern budget?
ha, your deck description is the basis for my mtg experience. save for i play on a kitchen table.martyr of sands is pretty great with a squadron hawks in hand... i got a deck based on repeating that with proteus staff and mistveil plains. but either way martyr isnt a 25 cent card anymore.return to ranks seems should be a four of.... considering how weak this deck is to board wipes. maybe something like mentor of the meek for card advantage.. though he cant return to rank.
Thanks for the ideas, and welcome. I think I'd have the rest of the returns in the sb
What does everyone think of the new white enchantment in kaladesh? Causes creatures to enter tapped and gains me more life?
Haven't seen this deck used in awhile. And could you give the name of the card?
I think he's talking about Authority of the Consuls.Authority of the Consuls{W}EnchantmentRare (Kaladesh)Creatures your opponents control enter the battlefield tapped.Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under an opponent's control, you gain 1 life.
Thanks dedwards! I was tired and being lazy.... I'm curious if that has a home somewhere? I'm also considering splashing green for collected company and essence warden, and black for blood artist/suk sport cut throat. Not sure if it's worth any splash.. Idk looking to make it better with newer cards
I'm not sure you need to splash a second colour. Some cards I've seen used in a similar deck that you may want to consider (though most have hefty price tags, with good reason):Ranger of Eos - Searches for two creatures that cost 1 or less. Proclamation of Rebirth - Returns three creatures you own that cost 1 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. Martyr of Sands - sacrifices to gain 3 life per white card you reveal. Serra Ascendant - Effectively a 1 mana 6/6 with flying and lifelink, provided you stay above 30 life. Chalice of Life / Chalice of Death - Flips easily and puts most opponents on a very short clock. Some Kaladesh cards that may pique your interest:Angel of Invention - Fabricate 2 and an Anthem effect. Aetherflux Reservoir - Can gain you a ton of life and let's you one shot most opponents. Servo Exhibition - Two 1/1 colourless artifact creature tokens at sorcery speed. Worse than Raise the Alarm (below).Other cards that may interest you:Divinity of Pride - 5 mana for a 4/4 flying lifelink creature that becomes an 8/8 as long as you're above 25 life. Raise the Alarm - Two 1/1 white soldier token creatures at instant speed. Gather the Townsfolk - Slightly weaker than Raise the Alarm. Two 1/1 white human token creatures at sorcery speed. Intangible Virtue - +1/+1 and vigilance to all token creatures. Requires more tokens in the deck to be useful. Devouring Light - Not as good as Path to Exile, but a decent substitute if you can guarantee the convoke.
