Deck Description

Working on a somewhat competitive 4 horsemen deck for casual play. Would like it to be as budget as possible. Thoughts?

Deck discussion for 4 horsemen

I always really loved the MesmericMonolith setup, but the Laboratory Maniac/Angel of Glory's Rise combo is really the better option for budget. You DR Angel of Glory's Rise, bringing back Azami, Laboratory Maniac, and Grand Abolisher, then tap Azami(the wording of her ability ignores summoning sickness) to win.

Two Phantasmagorian's are really nice in these kind of deck too, because with them you can eliminate some redundancies like Dread Return, or your other combo pieces.


For a pseudo-budgeted(price<$500USD) I would run something like;
Artifacts
4 Basalt Monolith
4 Lotus Petal
4 Mesmeric Orb

Creatures
1 Angel of Glory's Rise
1 Azami, Lady of Scrolls
1 Grand Abolisher
1 Laboratory Maniac
4 Narcomoeba
2 Phantasmagorian

Spells
4 Brainstorm
4 Enlightened Tutor
4 Pact of Negation
3 Cabal Therapy
1 Dread Return
3 Gitaxian Probe
4 Ponder

Lands
4 Ancient Tomb
2 City of Traitors
4 Flooded Strand
1 Godless Shrine
1 Hallowed Fountain
1 Island
1 Plains
1 Watery Grave
Subtotal at TCGPlayer=$481.02 USD

Looks nice. Thanks Jens. Out of curiosity, could I use this in a tournament or would it be considered slow play?

It depends on how well developed the meta is, it's no Storm, but it still has the potential for the turn 2-3 kills, so it's about their potential responses instead of your clock. Doubly so since you're running heavy ramp, with a playset each of Rituals, Petals, and Tombs.

Just realized you meant the slow play rule for infinite loops. I found that my matches with it before the ruling were never going to time, so I don't actually know.

You don't cast emrakul, you use him to shuffle your graveyard back into your library.

I take it the ideal hand would have (1 of) orb, ritual, petal, monolith, tomb (2 free slots) for a t1 combo. Nice.
