how about a budget BUG infect deck?

suggestions welcome

a pretty reliable glass cannon deck could be as follows: http://www.mtgvault.com/lordmalphas/decks/gravestorm20/
it has a 40% t1 kill rate and 40% t2 kill (now, I do understand that this costs $430).
your deck needs I think 2 more animate dead (in addition to my above suggestions) and you should be pretty good for a budget deck. also? (and this is a matter of opinion) you may wish to drop a couple of 0 cmc artifacts for a set of soul spikes

me? i would drop 2 probes+sidisi (who has no place in this deck) for an upped tendrils count, and lose the islands for some swamps. also, glass cannon means a combo that is broken easily, not that will usually fail succeed

islands are useless here, and this deck relies entirely on drawing into the singleton copy of tendrils of agony, which you have a pretty slim chance to do. also, this costs over $50.

lions eye wouldnt work because it makes me discard my hand and I have no way to get the cards back out of the graveyard.

ideally i am looking for things with cmc 0 or 1, but thanks for suggestion

where is your invisible stalker?

If anyone can come up with another item like lotus petal or chrome mox (that is not mox diamond) I would much appreciate it.

ahh no. i meant the name as the deck kills by a lethal storm count, and it utilizes the graveyard (a la Griselbrand) to get there.

i was thinking under $50 for the deck (with 1 griselbrand thats $35 to play around with), though it could be a charbelcher combo sort of thing too, griselbrand is optional. glass cannon just means t1 combo potential that is usually pretty fragile. the ones i have the most experience with are the reanimators with griselbrand but the deck i am looking for does not need that

heh. no, 15 for a card isn't cheap but A) budget for me is under $50, and B) even if it fails 80% of the time, it succeeds 20%, and as i'm not super concerned with tournaments (this a for-fun deck) that is perfectly acceptable

yeah, i changed those to cabal ritual to get space for some other stuff in there

1 griselbrand usually runs around $15, and I'm not saying that the cannon needs to be 80% effective, something like 20% is fine. and yes, goryo is very not budget (however animate dead runs about .87 i believe)

1-i didn't say it had to have griselbrand
2-does not need to be tier 1. i just want to see what northern comes up with

hordeling outburst?

Requesting a budget glass-cannon deck (t1 combo, usually featuring Griselbrand).

Authors note-though it is extremely unlikely, this deck can win by ramping into a t1 or t2 Griselbrand

tibalt is a very versatile card

this is what i came up with for a tibalt deck. lands a 20/20 pretty consistently t5 or t6
