Flanking is pretty cool ability, though it hasn't been used for a long time. It is basically reversed Bushido.
Enjoy.

Deck discussion for Budget Decks: Flanking FTW.

Oh yes Flanking. Have a deck myself. Love the deck. The only problem with flanking is that it only triggers when the creature is blocked, while Bushido is triggered when the creature is blocked or does the blocking.

But hey, it's fun to kill 1 toughness creatures without getting damaged XD

Odd choice to go white-black instead of white-red ... you are not only missing out the incredibly efficient Suq'Ata Lancer but also the only "lord" for flankers, Telim Tor!

Moreover, you do not really take advantage of all the flanking. If you had something to set opponent's creature's toughness to 1, you could kill them all off when they block and trigger flanking. Snake Form and Polymorphist's Jests are your best friends, albeit in blue. If you don't want to go three-colour in a budget deck, okay, but I'd either go white-red or white-blue (also allows the excellent Teferi's Honor Guard). And the red version could run Blood Lust. It would be a very versatile card in that deck (could replace Mortify/Unmake) because it can either be used to pump unblocked creatures or to kill off anything with toughness <5 that blocks your flankers.

Just because it's budget it doesn't have to be bland and lazy.

Okay Puschkin, I WANTED to make it Black-White okay? Did I really need any other reason?

Of course not - do whatever you want. I just think it's an odd choice.
