Deck Description

This deck started as a clone of hunted by schickd12. If you haven't seen it you should check it out!

I love trying to make budget versions of ideas. The original was estimated to cost about $200 and I wanted to see how low I could make it and still maintain the feel/function of the original deck.

This budget version I think keeps the feel of the original pretty well and comes in at just over $25. That's just about an 87% price drop. Which is not bad!

How to Play

Most of the budget swaps are pretty self explanatory:

- Smother for Fatal Push.

- Clone for Phyrexian Metamorph.

- Falkenrath Noble for Blood Artist (although the low CMC of Blood Artist is so good I wanted to keep at least two).

- Dismal Backwater & Jwar Isle Refuge for Drowned Catacomb & Watery Grave.

- I added 2 Hunted Horror for more triggers to back up Hunted Phantasm. Not too worried about the ProBlack centaur tokens because of all the blue removal in the deck and the 7/7 Trample for 2 is great.

- Now taking out the Panharmonicon for the Genesis Chambers isn't a direct replacement BUT I think it does a damn good job for a fraction of the cost. It will create more triggers on everything except for doubling the Hunted tokens (so not ideal but not bad!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO PLAY:

The point is to flood your opponents' field with tokens that they can't use and that hurt them for merely existing.

Make tokens with:
Hunted Horror, Hunted Phantasm, and Genesis Chamber.

Make them useless with:
Illness in the Ranks, and Echoing Truth.

Make them hurt with:
Blood Artist, Blood Seeker, Falkenrath Noble, and Trepasser's Curse.

On top of that you have decent life gain and removal for other threats so: go nuts!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

I was particularly pleased with the addition of Genesis Chamber.
