Deck Description

[Inspired by NorthernWarlord's Budget Series and the Aristocrat format.]
Aristocrat Format:
-Two Rares. Both cards must be different. (No Mythics.)
-12 Uncommons. Four sets of the same card, with a playset size of 3.
-The rest of the cards are commons, which must contain four different sets of 3 common cards. The remaining cards are allowed to have only 3 as a maximum playset size, excluding Basic Lands.
-Sideboards should contain 1 Rare, 3 Uncommons, and 8 Commons. The 8 Commons must be two different cards, each having full playsets.

Are you new to Magic: The Gathering? Is your collection of cards lacking? Do you need a new deck for your game night with your friends? Well look no further than here!

Be aggressive with the Mardu Horde! Strike hard at your opponent with all of your creatures, then play your creatures in order to trigger the Raid effect of cards like Mardu Warshrieker and Mardu Hordechief! Send in an army to be feared with Mardu Ascendancy that's backed by the almighty Ankle Shanker! (I love this card.) You are also armed with plenty of other spells, in both your main deck and sideboard, to keep your opponent in check while you charge into battle claiming victory!

The Budget / Starter series is to help people to who are either new to the Magic: The Gathering, or simply those who can not afford to spend a lot of money on booster packs or individual cards. It can be of help to beginners or experts alike.
[Please note that upon the making of this deck, the cards used have yet to be legalized.]

He was the one who inspired me to even make my Budget deck series.
If not for him, I'd probably be making extremely overpriced decks that almost no one could buy, easily. This is why I love the Budget series.

It is very difficult to make good Budget decks.
Only really good ones I have made, have been made by accident.
You know? I just make my deck...then once it is finished, there has been 3 or 4 times where I have been able to say, "Wow, under 20 bucks?! How did that happen?"

Often I find myself using the same cards over and over again. Generally these are cards that have been reprinted a lot and have lost their value, but still pack a punch. Or, the card doesn't have a lot of love, and I can put it in the deck, like Ankle Shanker, which, by the way, I love.

Well, I figured in honor of Khans release, why not make my Aristocrat deck in honor of one of the clans.

Official page to the challenge.

And Khans has a few good cards, that is for sure.
I am iffy about the new mechanics.
I like they brought back morph!

Kawaii! I love it!
I took Mardu at prelease and fell in love with it. Even though this is just an Aristocrat deck, it gave me some ideas for my Mardu too.
Thank you LegendaryHero7! Thank you!

Mardu Aristocracy? DELIGHTFUL! Also, I love that your avatar is Mephisto Pheles.

Really, the irony is doing an "aristocrat challenge" with R/W/B when before it was Mardu, R/W/B was commonly called Aristocrat itself due to Falkenrath Aristocrat being the main finisher in a R/W/B archetype. This amuses me.

Actually I've heard it called Aristocrat since back before the Scars of Mirrodin set, though that may just be Georgia players being weird as crap again.

i would probably lighten up on creatures a little. probably knock off the generators since you dont have a very high mana curve. instead, you could probably go with a bit more removal. I wanted to try giving this aristocrat format a try and also went mardu. if you get the chance give mine a look. criticism and suggestions are always welcome. http://www.mtgvault.com/imementomori/decks/mardu-aristocrat/

Bloodfell Caves, Scoured Barrens, and Wind-Scarred Crag are commons too, never hurts to have a couple just for mana fixing.

I wish every starter deck could be like this

Pretty sure "Aristocrat" decks sacrifice creatures to get advantage.. i see no sacking except for the servant?

Fun looking deck though!

Well, this isn't an Aristocrat type deck. This was a deck made for a challenge proposed by Jessie. The name of the challenge was the Aristocrat Format. You can read up about it in the deck description. But, thank you for liking!
