I really like the deck!If you wish to have a skeleton lord included in the deck, you may always consider adding Paragon of Open Graves.
thank you very very much. this is very helpful and i am happy to know that i'm not invisible to the world!
how can i make a deck that is good enough to be put on the wall? its a childish question, but (in my childish eyes) a valid one.
Well, keep doing what you have been doing! Soon your deck will have enough activity to appear in the front page.
Are you kidding? You need lots of luck to be there. Once you made it a few times, yes, then you might have gained some followers, but until then you mostly need luck. Here are a few things that *might* help *slightly* :- Keep the deck at low cost to please the budget crowd. That actually means adding supbar cards. So, even if you own good but expensive cards, don't add them. This is mainly true for lands - don't add fetchies for example even if you own them, instead add something like Scrylands or try to go with basics as much as possible.- Pick a click-baity title that includes things like „infinite“, „unbeatable“ etc. and always add „budget“.- Pick a simple theme and/or tribe and stick to it. Just make a quick card search and add the cheapest cards there are (money-wise)- Do NOT think this through! A deck that is already tight has no room for improvements and that means less comments. But if you leave lots of room for improvements, people can point out the flaws, generating hits which helps getting to front page!- Make sure the deck tags include “budget” as well.- After posting your deck, go to the decks that are currently on Hot Page, post on them and ask for help on your deck. That way you will reach hundreds of readers. The author of the deck you post in will most likely not mind your shameless advertisement (especially if you garnered it with compliments) because that post increases his deck's post count and thus helps him staying on hot page.Yes, I am a little bit sarcastic here but only a little bit, this is actually how this site works.Note that currently, for some reason, all cards are listed with a price of zero so the budget thingy might not work that well currently. (Which is a boon in my mind).The real question, though, is: Why do you want to make front page in the first place? If all you need is help on your deck, then go and ask the more experienced users here directly, many are happy to help. Or is it because you like the attention, recognition and fame? If that's what you are looking for, keep in mind how shallow that is - I mean look at the tips I gave above ... it should give and idea how nonsensical the Hot Page is. Like Paris Hilton, they are famous because they have hits and they have hits because they are famous.

Thx 4 the help! and yes I do with to have a taste of fame as many people do, as a nerd in hight school i feel that if i can achieve but a taste of fame for my deck then perhaps this will aid me in making better decks. this will drive me to be able to see above and beyond what i thought i could do. to this day i am convinced that i am a terrible deck builder. Yes i can achieve my goal with out fame but there is more to the craving of fame then Magic. . . I may sound like a self pitying ass, but oh well, I just wanted to let you know where i stand.
That's the catch, though: In order to make hot page you do not necessarily need to be good. I gave you some examples of underachievement that increase your chances for hot page but won't make you a better deckbuilder. Anyway, if you need occasional help, you can call me out. Just make sure that your decks have proper tags and description that tell me what you are trying to achieve.
Mganthemindmage, Where can you possibly live that being a nerd isn't cool?? Any one who knows anything these days wants to geek w/ the geeks! :D Seriously, though, if you truly want to learn to build good decks, apply yourself in the right places. And here's a tip: The HP is NOT where to start. Good decks do make it there, but as Puschkin points out, it's more luck than anything...if a certain # of people like/comment on your deck w/i a small window of time, you're on, so you see how arbitrary that is. If you want to improve your skills, you're better off (in terms of this site, at least) scrutinizing REALLY GOOD DECKS. Puschkin & Gothy rock some of the best, & anything tagged "competitive" will likely take you in the right direction. Also: Have you observed the rate at which new decks are posted on this site? Any single deck is a needle in a VERY large haystack, so it doesn't pay well to concern yourself w/ the amount of attention your decks get...the QUALITY of the attention will matter far more in the long run. Finally, doing any thing for recognition is bound to be disappointing. Do it because you love the game. :D
Oh and the MTGVault team recently said that the forums will be up in the near future. When that happens you will be able to find deckhelp articles and so on. There are some articles here, too, disguised as "decks", but they are hard to find.
Some article decks are tagged as such, so there's that. Re forums coming back: YES!!! - finally! I wasn't around for the forums, so I'll be looking forward to that. :)
...& as I've now discovered, there are a LOT of decks tagged as article decks that aren't. -.- Gothy's decks are for real, though...& Jessie did at least one.
Hm, isn't this just a pile of random 1/1 regenerators that happen to share a creature type? Yeah, I know, budget yaddayadda, but budget doesn't mean you should ignore the basics of deckbuilding.For one, this deck needs flyers and badly. Personally i would splash blue so you can add the very excellent Kathari Remnant. But if you want to keep this mono-black and budget, try Skeletal Vampire.Next, you run all sorts of 1/1 skellis but missed one of the best out there: Reassembling Skeletons! They just come back again and again. And they work well with The Skeletal Vampire and the Kjeldoran Dead you already got.Furthermore, looking at your mana curve you can clearly allow to add a few casting cost 3 dudes. I'd consider swapping some of the worst skellis you have there (probably Drudge Skeletons) for something like Lim-Dul's High Guard - that one would even fit in thematically since you run Lim-Dul as the head-honcho :)Now to Skeletal Wurm. It's just horrible and way out of the mana curve! I under stand you need something more beefy than 1/1s but this won't work. Skithiryx is probably out of question because budget but there are other options. Again, Skeletal Vampire. Secondly, there is Champion of Stray Souls. But my favourite is Flayed Nim. He isn't a fatty but at 4 mana he fits your mana curve smoothly and he is great both offensively and defensivly since he will always transfer damage to the opponent no matter if he blocks or is blocked.Finally, and this is something all you budget and tribal lovers should keep in mind, if you build a tribal deck that doesn't have it's own "lord" (or, like in this case, it does have one in Death Baron but it's too expensive money-wise), then there is always Brass Herald!All cards suggested are dirt cheap, the Champion being the most expensive at 70 cent, the rest should be way lower than that.
thank you very very much. this is very helpful and i am happy to know that i'm not invisible to the world! However, I don't see Lim-dul's high guard as a good spell, yes its nice that it fits the theme but its not a good card. A 2/1 for 3 is not useful to me, yes first strike yaddayadda, but if i have 3 mana i could get out 2 skellis rather then 1. if perhaps i add an archetype of fendelity then i'd be ok with it. but it is way out of curve and as to the wurm i see the point u make an i respect it i pains me but i will side that. again, thank you for recognizing my existence and have a good day...or night whenever you read this...
Sure, Lim-Duls High guard isn't a good card but the one it would replace (Drudge Skeleton) isn't either ;). This is about diversification within your deck. Frankly speaking, if the first couple of 1/1 regenerators didn't stop the opponent, the next one will probably neither but a First Striker might (let's say, to stop Ball Lightning).
Scare Tactics could be a nice, cheap little combat trick for you (I'm a big fan of nice, cheap little combat tricks). :D Also, it's not a skeleton, but Will-o'-the-Wisp could be helpful against flying attackers...it casts for B, & regenerates for same.
I still say splashing blue for Kathari Remnant is the best shot at flyers you could have in a skeleton deck.
I'm a huge fan of it, & couldn't agree more...but this looks like staying a mono-B deck.
And Willow isn't a skeleton, so ... but sooo beautiful a card :) I wish would call a beta one my own ... meh, Revised looks pretty, too.
The art & flavor text are classic...I couldn't believe the way they trashed it w/ the 9th Edition reprint. As for owning a Beta...it's good to have a dream. :)
ok so all of the info given to me from you guys is great, thanks a lot! now iv been experimenting with decks IRL and i think i like control a lot more. so i brought the liberty unto myself to make one, its a U/B control. If you want it would be cool if you could critique that deck and tell me what i messed up. XD thx guys for all of the support. http://www.mtgvault.com/mganthemindmage/decks/budget-ub-control/
I've never played hardcore control, so I'm not the best one to give advice on that...I did do a quick search, though, & there's over 400 UB control decks on the site you could check-out for guidance. One in particular that jumped out at me was "Standard UB Control" by harmonyinclarity; it's tagged both tournament & competitive, so it S/B pretty representative. If it's more hardcore than you're thinking of, you could also look for more moderate builds, such as those that incorporate more creatures. In the meantime, if I think of someone who could better advise you, I'll give them a heads-up. :D Happy hunting!
thx, btw puschkin if you dont mind and you have time id like help on a deck. this is ment to be a mid range/ aggro i hope to have my mind blown even harder the the last 100 times. XD talk 2 u soon man. ;)http://www.mtgvault.com/mganthemindmage/decks/budget-anger-of-the-dead/this deck is a new take on control please look at this one and think deathtouch... http://www.mtgvault.com/mganthemindmage/decks/ur-better-off-dead/
hey guys is the deck better now? i think that it is awesome, but i thought that before to so i guess that I don't really know that much. i added the wurm back because the synergy with the grimier is awesome. i may add some other cards that make me discard a card so i can get it into the graveyard and wait for the time to reanimate it.
Wow! There's a lot of new stuff going on here!! At this point, I think I'd like to see your 2 Sidisi MB, along w/ 4x Gravecrawler. With the addition of the 4 lords, you can probably remove the Heralds at this point; additionally, Drudge Spell, & possible 2 Kjeldoran Dead? (You've also got me thinking about flying zombies now! :D)
@ sidisi ya i get but idk bout da crawlers, this looks more like a deck that wants to use baron as much as possible. and sidisi can help search for him if hes not in the opener. great job!
I would be cautious, this is a slippery slope down zombie highway. It started out as a skeleton themed deck but if you add too many zombies, you'll end up with a standard zombie deck. You already run Diregraf Captain which only pumps zombies but not skellis. Gravecrawlers are good but adding them means more dedication to zombies (their ability only works if you have other zombies in play). Death Baron is good because it buffs both zombies and skellies, so they can coexist, but Diregraf Captain, Gravecrawler and maybe Cellar Door are steps in the wrong direction. "Wrong" thematically, mind you, those aren't bad cards.
ya i thought that this may be wrong for my deck thanks for the assist.
hey guys if you could comment on my freinds deck it would be cool, he needs help but i cant help much...He is a control fan so if you have knowledge in this area plz help him out ( cough cough, Puschkin ) :) http://www.mtgvault.com/whitelord/decks/detainment/
I gave his deck a review.And you should do something about your cough, sounds bad.
thx that was nice of you! cough, cough ya the doc said its a lack of social interaction. ;)
lolololol!
posted a new deck please look at it http://www.mtgvault.com/mganthemindmage/decks/tri-color-bug/
You should add tags and a deck description before making calls for help! And maybe make it a legal deck first with 60 cards and state the intended format ... and a prober deckname would help, too! Millions of decks are 3-coloured, that isn't really helpful. It is probably a deck build around Hedron Alignment, right? But hat isn't easy to decypher.
okey doky thanks for the help!!!
