Challenge: Budget Gruul

by DedWards on 21 December 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

The idea is to build a bloodthirst themed deck that a new player can use in our local Legacy tournaments.

Deck discussion for Challenge: Budget Gruul

A new player would play a standard not a legacy that's common sense.

I know this. She already has a bloodthirst themed standard deck. The problem is our group doesn't always play standard and she ends up using her only deck in our legacy matches. I'm trying to help her by designing a deck for her to use.

Wouldn't a cheap version of Zoo have more staying power? For Bloodthirst this is great, but I mean for if your meta goes a little deeper into the land of competitive legacy.

That may be true, but I already have most of the cards in this deck and the new player has the rest, so I thought it'd be easier to build this. And as she already plays bloodthirst in standard, so the idea is pretty much what she's already used to.

People mean different things when they say "budget," to me, it means most cards are < 50 cents, and all are < $2. For about $12 US, you could add a playset of Boartusk Liege and Boggart Ram-Gang, which would greatly improve this deck, imo.

To me, budget is a combonation of cheap ($) cards and what's easily available in my group. This deck costs about $9.20 at channelfireball (excluding basic lands). Additionally this is for someone else and I'm a bit of a cheapscate, so 'available in my group' is the option I'm using :p
