Deck Description

UPDATE: I´ve now played against affinity, and Suicide Jund, and Jund Midrange. I won! :)
I lost to Mill and Suicide Jund as well though. :(
Then there was this awesome looking Abzan brew that killed me very quickly. Any deck with Pack Rat is awesome.
And Red Eldrazi. t4 kill is fast. Was short 1 land of winning..... :( I think its actually a good match up, or at least decent. The sideboard would help too.

This deck really is decently competitive. It may not have answers, but Blink is very powerful in combat, allowing surprise blockers, or removing attackers/tokens. Almost nothing in the format can deal with a fast (ish) 6/6.

Ever wanted to blink an Akroma?

The Most Realistic Dream Ever
Turn 1: Island
Turn 2: Plains, Anticipate/Telling Time
Turn 3: Plays an inconspicuous Morph
Turn 4: Plains, another Morph, during your opponent's turn Cloudshift your morph as a surprise blocker.
Turn 5: Start the beats

Morph+Blink=Value, although you do have to hit that third land...

This deck kicks ass and costs way less than anything you're going to see. You should click that like button up there on the right.

To buy this deck from TCGPlayer I could say it is under 20$, but I´d be lying. Shipping is expensive. Its actually a few bucks under 30 for NM/LP condition. Oh darn.

If you want to ruin the budget here, just add some Flooded Strand, Hallowed Fountain, and Polluted Delta, then four Serum Visions and Path to Exile. Adding green for Birds of Paradise speeds it up.

Deck discussion for Super Budget Morph Blinks

I really like the idea. I've actually been thinking of making a similar deck and have a few suggestions (I'll try keep them budget friendly).

Firstly, morphing a creature costs {3}, so you won't be doing much in the first two turns and only flickering from turn 4 onwards. To remedy this, I suggest adding some stuff that generates mana. If you where running green (like I will be), I'd suggest adding a set or two of mana dorks. But you're not running green, so I'm looking at artifacts. Azorius Signet seems like the best fit.

Next, I feel 14 creatures is too few. 16 would be a good number, and I have a few suggestions for the other 2:
Vesuvan Shapeshifter - copies any creature on the battlefield.
Whip-Spine Drake - morphes for {2}{W} and has flying. Not impressive to flicker, but a 3/3 flyer is pretty good.
Ponyback Brigade - Enters the battlefield with three 1/1 goblins. Quantity over quality here.

Also, a set of Evolving Wilds wouldn't hurt.

Well, I did look at a lot of that. Evolving wilds is pretty much strictly worse than Tranquil Cove, excluding interaction with cantrips.

Vesuvan Shapeshifter is something I had forgotten about, and was mostly played for its combo with Brine Elemental in standard. I will be considering it, although I would need more creatures for it to work.

Ponyback Brigade I´ve already thought about and decided that this deck doesn´t really want 1/1 creatures, it wants evasion. I´ve already beaten affinity with this list.

Whip Spine Drake is not something I want to be playing, as big creatures is my goal, not 3/3 creatures.

14 Creatures is because I have an even number of Blinks and Creatures.
