Deck Description

Do you want to play EDH? Don't you have an EDH deck? Do you think most of those ready-to-play-decks cost too much for your desires?
...Or do you just think you can't figure out a funny idea for your EDH deck?
NO MORE!
Budget EDH-series is meant for players that want to play EDH.
They are playable and their price is low! (Between 25 and 50 bucks.)

How to Play

Mangara might be free of her amber prison, but she'll never be able to escape the twisted timeshifted world.

Abuse Mangara's ability to exile permanents, then untap her with your artfacts to tap her again before she gets exiled. You may also return her to your hand with various cards, so she won't get exiled.

NorthernWarlord again you have made a deck that looks really fun to play. Speaking of really fun decks. I went out and bought your Thirsty Rakdos EDH deck, but I made some changes and would like for you to take a look. I gave you all the credit for the deck, so I hope you are not upset thank you in advance.

Wow, very theme based... Coming from a more theme based player that's awesome. It does kill me though that you refered to the Amber Prison and you didn't put one in lol. If you wanted to make maybe a "less effective deck" but make it more theme based you also got cards like Mangara's Blessing, Mangara's Equity, Mangara's Tome, Mtenda Herder, Relic Ward (which they all refer to Mangara however most of them are kind of garbage... but funny never the less.

May I be the first to point out the flaw with using Mangara as a commander....
Once you use her ability, she's back into the command zone and costs 2 more mana. So every time you use her ability to exile something AND HER you have to pay even more mana to do it again

There is only a flaw if you don't have certain cards out. Example tap Mangara to exile himself and target permanent, then play Cloud Shift on Mangara. Your opponents permanent is exiled while Mangara is returned. Or you can bring Mangara back to your hand with Narrow Escape. Earning 4 health plus only have to pay Mangara;s converted mana cost to bring him back to the battlefield. Conjurers Closet unfortunately will not allow you to exploit Mangara's ability because you have to exile a target creature at the beginning of your end step, before you are able to get Mangara's ability on the stack.

@xWARxMONGERx
Yes. That's how it works. You can cast Mangara several times by paying only 3 mana. She is basically a 3-mana exiling spell. Unfortunately you cannot abuse her forever unless you happen to draw Erratic Portal. However, you can probably cast her enough times to be able to screw your opponents' games pretty badly.

@xWARxMONGERx
Also, Conjurer's Closet isn't here for Mangara, it is here for nearly all the other creatures.

But Cloudshift would cancel her ability because it is first on the stack

1. It's a budget deck. 2. It's a " get rid of that thingy" deck. 3. It seems to me the deck can handle its self....

NorthernWarlord, can I suggest Flickerform? You can cast it for 2 mana, then pay 4 mana to use the ability again. I think it will make Mangara's ability even more powerful.

Hey Northy! Been a while but I was wondering if you could make a red/blue burn/control deck where the only restriction is no planeswalkers. Thanks!
