Budget Decks: 6$ Challenge

by NorthernWarlord on 24 August 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Are you bored? Does Magic: The Gathering feel old and vapid? Got any useless bucks in your bank account? Ladies and Gentlemen, I have solution.
Use your bank account on nearest MtG marketplace website and buy some cheap cards, craft a deck, and challenge your friends! To double the fun, ask your friend to create such a deck too!
The Budget Decks -series is meant for your free time! These are meant to inspire you, and deck's value is meant to be low! (Between 10 and 20 bucks.)

How to Play

Inspired by magicmaster13.
So, magicmaster13 granted me this challenge. The requirements of it are:
-Modern deck
-Only one color
-Budget as close as possible to 6 dollars

Neat deck. I really like how it can aggro out like crazy.

On the other hand though, I don't think you'll need that much draw power (4 sign in blood seems already a handful XD). I'd replace sanguimancy with the following:
1. Shadow Slice (put it on intimidate creatures aaand that's going to be fun)
2. Corrupt (game ender. Exactly a cent above sanguimancy, so it'd put your deck at 6.01...)

I personally would go for #1 for the budget XD

I at first thought that card's name was Gray Master of Asphodel, not Gray Merchant.

This looks great! I really like budget builders, and people that encourage others to compete within reasonable means.

I just made a $4.00 All Green WOLF horde deck, and it's not bad. Check it out

I'd like to see a nice red DD $6 deck from you.

Thanks for checking out my deck. By the way, I always enjoy looking at your budget decks because you come up with cool ideas but this is my first real attempt. I have to say, it gives me a new perspective. I passed up a lot of cards when making and then tweaking this deck, and I know I'm still not finished with it. It is not an easy process and for you to come here and do this on a daily basis, I have a lot of respect for you. Thanks.

Yo, dawg, I heard you like to murder things with black. How's about, instead of grasp of darkness, you run victim of night? Get crazy and splurge that extra .24 cents, yo.

(Ok, don't actually do it because I love the price staying at $6. But Victim of night is totally an amazingly cheap mono black spot murdering machine.)

I like this idea; some of my friends and I are just starting a Pauper league, decks average $15 to $20. Here is my modest contribution, value of $6.09:
http://www.mtgvault.com/mazelord/decks/cheap-shadows/

When building for this challenge make sure you select your basic lands from M14 so they don't add to the deck's value.

Made some changes and value is now $ 6,01 and actually better!

This is an amazing deck for the price. Doesn't get much cheap than this! There is a $6 craze going around now with everyone making these lol.

Do you think you might be able to look at making a budget deck around cheap legendary creatures? I can't find any lists at all online on which legendary creatures are low priced, so having a list or a deck made of them would be great.

I found one deck on here: http://www.mtgvault.com/anonymister/decks/legendary-budget-10/

But it only has a bunch of low priced white and blue creatures. I don't know a site to look up just cheap legendary creatures at, so any help would be so kindly appreciated on my quest to find some low cost legendaries.

You are doing a great job by the way though Northy and keep on making your decks for years to come hopefully! I get on this site at least 3-4 times a week just to see the decks your making.

Holy moly. I actually did it. Check out a deck named:

I'm trying to think of a 6$ deck to match what you've displayed in a mono color. Sadly my attempt was a 12$ deck with black/red. But its a good challenge. Great job btw! :P

If your decks get any cheaper, friend, then Mtg will be given the cards away! :)
Joking aside, have you did any Pauper decks?

I think, not too sure, that it is a 60 card deck with all commons.
That could be interesting :)

The real trick is a pauper commander deck for less than 10. Would be a real challenge.

This would be my attempt. I think it still counts being $6.01 and it's actually pretty effective.

Uhm. .Just a question. .Why do Basic Lands have very high costs ($) here? Swamp at mid price is about $3.00?

0
Posted 03 September 2014 at 16:57

no, basics do not have a cost on mtgvault

0
Posted 03 September 2014 at 17:30

Permalink

In the "Card Search" part, they may. But when you're building a deck, the cost of basic lands is generally not added to the total cost. This is mainly because everyone has basic lands and they're cheaper than a Macca's Soft Serve

0
Posted 03 September 2014 at 23:32

It depends on the set the lands are from. Generally speaking, lands from Duel Decks do not have a cost in MTGVault's system. If you're trying to get a total $ amount not including lands, specifically look for basic lands released in Duel Decks (for example, a <a href="http://www.mtgvault.com/card/mountain/EVG/ ">Mountain from the Elves VS Goblins Duel Deck</a>).
