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 exodd1994.

The hierarchy of Bant doesn't allow you to fight with unfair ways. How could it be unfair to send one trooper against a whole battalion of enemies?
*devious grin*
They'll see it soon.

Exalted is such an overpowered yet underused keyword.
Glad that you understand it.

Rafiq is only like 9 bucks. Rafiq into Finest Hour is just dastardly - it's like quadruple strike!

$10-$20 is a bit too budget to be competitive.... why not splurge on yourself and go $100

These budget decks are the proof that you can make very good decks with not much money and that MTG doesn't revolve around your wallet but around deckbuilding and skill.

I don't know much about competitive, but this deck will surely pack a punch without the need for more expensive cards.

well darius in casual play yes, when you get into metagame its different. the stronger cards usually cost more. im not saying the price of magic is fair, but it is skewed so that the cards that make you win more, cost more. just because cards cost more does not mean you aren't putting in strategy and deckbuilding

Well the card prices are an obvious result of supply and demand.
I'm not saying that decks worth $100 aren't skillfully build or that $50 cards are overpowered.
What I meant to say is that very expensive decks lose their value in terms of skill needed just because you only use the cream of the crop cards.

The beauty of MTG lies in the fact that every card, no matter the value, is actually useful in some kind of deck but you will need some deckbuilding experience and skill to make this true.
I do understand that to stay competitive you will need to spend money.


Also, keep up the good work NorthernWarlord! *brofists back*

i agree, met a guy who has been playing for under half a year at the most recent montana IQ, he basically netdecked jund. running a $1500+ dollar deck, 4 goyfs, and lost too me twice in a row missplaying while i had eidolon of great revel out, and missing a slaughterpact trigger, total noob

Missing a Slaughter Pact trigger, what a classic.

Why would someone who plays under half a year spend $1500+ on a deck for a tournament AND netdeck too?
You won't learn shit from this and will never improve.

yea, where i live i see alot of guys, either just got a job, or new to the military, who suddenly have some $$$, who decide to start playing magic. that part is great! but about half of them seem to want to go online and netdeck their way into modern, so they end up with these strong teir one decks, but they dont even know when to crack their fetches, when to block or what damage you can take. miss lots of triggers. nothing wrong being new but its funny when its that much $$,

fnm this week guy is running america control. he played first, has two uncracked fetches, a mountain and a clifftop retreat in play. i drop a blood moon... he lets it resolve without cracking his fetches!!!! after the match i asked him why, and he didnt realize he could, and he had a remand in hand, so he could have cracked for something with a blue source and stopped the blood moon...

I only started playing 2 years ago so my when to block/crack/use abilities still needs some improvement but knowing when to use your fetches is mandatory if you spend big bucks on a deck.

Not sure how well Exalted decks play out in Modern... ...when it was Standard, my best friend used to play it & with great results... ...though my Jund squashed him pretty ugly, especially with 4 Goblin Ruinblasters in the sideboard... :)

Would you mind checking out my Modern, USA control deck?.. ...I'd like to hear if you have any suggestions I could improove it with...

Exalted Decks play like crap in Modern. Robots can trash them with little resistance, they have few answers to Melira Pod, outclassed by Jund, and shut down by control. So many fine casual decks are garbage in Modern.

I don't know if it would fit in the budget but silent arbiter is perfect for exalted

Yeah, I have it in my Vicious Exalted -deck. Guess I can find room for one or two.

I would add at least 2 Silent Arbiters.
The synergy with the rest of the deck is bigger than that of Ethercaste Knight.

Always wondered if the exalted ability stacked for each creature with exalted. Now I know :)

I'm just wondering here. Why play mana ramp? you can just run guildgates and replace the ramp with counterspells and removal and have much more interaction with your opponent. I know your trying to make a budget but budget or no the main issue still stands you play this deck in the hope your opponent does nothing big and it doesn't push in the damage to get away with that. Also why not abuse evasion more. Unblockable guys in exalted decks are always problematic. Invisible stalker or blighted agent would be terrifying in those cases.

I mostly run mana ramp to get the right colors of mana. Though I can customize this, since it bothers you that much.

Lol you don't have to build this deck around my tastes. I just wanted your reasoning. Maybe I just overthink decks a bit too much. Thanks though as I see you have already made the changes.

It's okay. When I removed Cultivates, it left me room for other cards both in budget and in deck.
...and hey, Jhessian Infiltrator is a great card.

Would be able to take a look at my Bant EDH deck? I spent a long time working on it and would like your opinion.

@ Zaklax13, If it's dead why did NorthernWarlord reply back to me? I know why because he gets a notification everytime someone posts a comment on one of his decks.
