Deck Description

What did a skaab say to another?
"Get yourself together!"

This is a Budget Deck (BD for short). It is meant primarily for casual play, and its estimated mid value is aimed to land between 10 and 20 US dollars at most. Take this detail into consideration when browsing the deck!

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

Mono blue skaabs have always had a soft spot in my heart, since the days I begun playing Magic around Avacyn Restored. This deck attempts to bring them all under one banner, with some common themes included between them!

With this deck, your goal is to manipulate the game by constantly swapping out your cards via discard and by disturbing enemy plays with repeated counterplays. When the situation allows it, kick ass with your zombie mob, or otherwise try to find possibilities to swing through with your wide assemblage of fliers, including Geralf's Masterpiece, Skaab Ruinator and the tokens provided by Drake Haven.

The sideboard lets you customize the deck, mainly to fit better against alternative opponents. Including Scuttletide may also let you make some interesting plays with a clever choice of discarded cards!
