Deck Description

I would like to first say that I play magic casually, though I do know a lot about the Modern/Legacy decks. I like to find a card and make a deck around it, or make a deck around a common theme, usually on a decently low budget. Aluren is actually a legitimate Legacy deck, not the greatest, but its still a pretty good one. This deck list is much more casual than the legacy decks, and is also much much more budgeted. It is, in my opinion, a super strong deck. The main idea is to play Aluren as fast as you can with tinderwall/hickory woodlot/saprazzan skerry as cheap (money-wise) mana accel cards. There are plenty of draw mechanics in this deck as well to draw the Alluren needed to win.

I usually am not one for using Legacy decks in casual play, but I actually made this deck list before I got into Legacy, so I decided to post it! Its also way cheaper than a lot of my other budget decks I've made, so its definitely worth a shot!

How to Play

The basic idea of the deck is to play Aluren, then draw a lot of cards from the come into play effects of your creatures. The two win conditions are by playing Parasitic Strix, bouncing it with Cavern Harpy, replaying Parasitic Strix, paying a life to return Cavern Harpy, and repeat to gain infinite life and deal infinite damage or by playing a lot of drawing creatures, then playing Shrieking Mogg to tap all creatures, then Storm Entity to swing with a large creature.

Early game, you can play coiling oracle, raven familiar, or even whirlpool rider to dig for Aluren. You can add to this by playing Shrieking Drake to easily replay these creatures and dig more along with Man-o'-War. Of course there is also the classic Brainstorm to help out as well.

Lastly, you can first play Dosan the Falling Leaf to make sure your Aluren doesn't get countered or any other shenanigans happen on your following turn (when you play Aluren and hopefully win).

The Whirlpool Riders help a lot not to draw into nothing once you get Aluren out, and worst comes to worst, you can do some crazy thing with Rishadan Cutpurse to make your opponent sacrifice a bunch of permanents (by bouncing her back to your hand with Cavern Harpy, Shrieking Drake, or Man-o'-War a few times).
