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

Starter Budget -series is variation of my famous(?) Budget Decks -series.
In this series, I attempt to create decks that go great for starters:
They do not have extremely valuable or complicated cards. Most of them are simple commons and uncommons.
Though, this doesn't mean that these decks aren't threat. In right hands (and some practice, of course,) they can overwhelm very tough opponents.
These decks are meant for those who have just dived into the mysterious depths of Magic: The Gathering, or for those people who like simple and cheap decks. Or, to just anyone!
Budget is meant to be low! (Less than 15 bucks.)

(Remember: If you are new player, do not be afraid to ask if you have questions. Northy has always time for newbies!)

How to Play

Starters need to know how to take all out of those worthless humans. This deck shows how that is done. Sacrifice those weaklings in order to get mighty rewards such as killing your opponents' creatures and getting big demons.

Reassembling Skeleton? I know it's not human....but...but..it's a dead human right? XD

Regardless, it'd be a great card here since you have so much sacrificing going on. Or any undying cards, but skeleton can keep coming back :)

Good deck otherwise though XD nice theme and nice use of sacrifices

Champion of Parish should be in here as your main beater, otherwise looks solid, id maybe go -2 Demonic Taskmaster and maybe add either Grave Pact (kind of pricey) or Butcher of Malakir, since you do a lot of sacrificing otherwise looks good:P

check this out Northern, read the description, im sure you'll love it

It is a bit of a high cost but I think rescue from the underworld could be fun to play in this deck.

I don't think there is, unfortunately. If you wanted to, you could add Northy on Skype and PM him there.

Only 8$?! Northy, you have outdone yourself. This deck gets so many tokens out near the end it makes saproling decks jealous.

Decks like this remind me why you are brilliant.

-Deathgreeter and this is legal in extended (until the new set).

It doesn't bother me that it is not legal in Extended, but I can change them.

Swapped Deathgreeters for Falkenrath Nobles.

question...If Maw of Obzedat is chillin' on the battlefield, you know, just hanging out, and you cast bone splinters...do you get to destroy a creature AND get +1+1?

Basically, can you have multiple sacrificial effects for the same sacrificed creature?

No, unfortunately this doesn't work. I've had this argument before, and you are only allowed to sac each creature once, I think multiple saccings go on the stack and then resolve, but then there will be no creature to sac after first spell has resolved.

My apologies, but you two were both a bit wrong. While it is true that you can't sacrifice the same creature for multiple different sacrifice effects, you can't even cast another sacrifice spell choosing the same creature even if it would be an instant. Because sacrificing creature is part of the casting/ability's activating cost, the creature will die immediately as you activate it.

Oh yeah. That would make sense.

Ah ... that makes sense.

Aren't there some cases where the sacrifice is an effect, not a cost, like Geth's Verdict?

0
Posted 31 July 2014 at 19:49

Yeah, stuff like Barter in Blood would be an effect. Right?

0
Posted 31 July 2014 at 20:10

Yes. With cards like that it is triggered effect and not part of the cost.

... But you can't sacrifice them for Barter in Blood and say that Maw of Obzedat gets bigger.

Yes. Exactly.

True that, but if you ... accidentally lost a creature to burn or it's ilk, you could sacrifice the creature in response, right?

Yep. That is completely legal and a smart thing to do

One big suggestion: Blood Artist is way better than Falkenrath Noble, and should be run over it. It loses out on a little bit of body, but it can be cast on turn 2, which makes it far better at doing the same job.
Also it's not a human, but Fleshbag Marauder might fit well in this deck.

I enjoy using Falkenrath Noble since starters like as cheap cards as possible. Also starters seem to love the keyword flying, which makes it unblockable more than 50% of cases.
In the other hand, Fleshbag Marauder sounds like a great idea.
