Maybe Teleportal, just so you can get even more crazy damage with those Nivix Cyclops. I guess Artful Dodge does the same thing, but I think that the Overload makes it better.

I just don't like the mana cost of it... But I'm showing it up to the sideboard.

Another fun deck northy!

I this deck should be able to run cruse, seeing as it just got bannhammered and is worth nothing, and provides a deck like this with the gas it needs, AND fits flaour wise because you have to CHOOSE what you want to exile from the grave :P

Hey Northy. I know you are a very busy man on here.
I requested a white mono budget deck.
I think I may of made one myself...that will work, it is over 20 dollars...but not by much.
Can you check it out and see what I need to add/delete/change?

Hey, I've been a huge fan of your budget deck series, it has inspired me to create a deck building series as way to introduce new players to Modern. The first deck of the series is up at http://www.mtgvault.com/rickell/decks/budget-decks-werewolves/. If you could check it out it would be awesome to have a veteran budget deck builder give their opinion.

Sorry to post in your comments section, but mtgvault really needs to have a message user feature :(.

Don't worry mate. I'll allow people to "advertise" on my decks. It is okay.

You think guttersnipe could fit in this deck? Also I think distortion strike might be a bit better than artful dodge (maybe more expensive though).

I can see your point with Guttersnipe.
Distortion Strike is a good suggestion too, but I just enjoy that you can cast Artful Dodge twice during the same turn, granting more effect on Kiln Fiends, Wee Dragonauts and Cyclopses.

Thanks for suggesting!

I like this deck I have something similar where I combo nivix cyclops, brute force, and teleportal for a nice 11/7 unblockable thump. Problem is most my friends know this now and tend to not let my cyclops hang around for very long....

But looking at artful dodge I think I am going to swap out the teleportals for it. Will do more damage for the same mana cost, just need the two blue.

Chandra's spitfire has always made me very happy. I love it vs. nivix cyclops, you get the benefit of flying in the mix.

Hey, just busted out a new EDH deck. It's fresh, but I'm wanting to build it on paper so hoping to get any thoughts/ideas you may have. Check it out, given a minute of free time?

Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest would make any creature in this deck stupid strong or is a light version of the rest of the creatures.

Hey Northy, i got a pretty cool challenge, make a budget deck around manifest and cards like Eater of days. Because 4 mana 9/8 flying trample is balanced. xD

Im my casual group someone oppend a stifle and made a deck aroud leveler, not budget but realy fun (we played without counter magic), so i thought that manifest could replace stifle (and the high price if the deck)
