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 with 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 to 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

Some newbies want to create decks that contain spellslinging and some evasive creatures. That's why this deck exists.

-Start the game by throwing in some small creatures like Sage Owl and Seacoast Drake. Try to handle your opponents' creatures with burn cards like Arc Lightning or Searing Spear, so you get time to proceed with your plans.
-Strike as much as possible with your small flying creatures. Sage Owl, Seacoast Drake and Wind Drake are great for smacking the first couple of lives out of your opponent.
-When your opponent's life total gets down, it is time to throw in your big tanks like Shivan Dragon. Hit your opponent fiercely, then finish them off with burn if required.

Deck discussion for Starter Budget: Thunderstorm

I think I'd rather run Augury Owl over that one. The ability to put them on bottom is excellent, as opposed to being stuck with whatever is on top.

Yes, but I believe that starters handle the Sage Owl's ability better.
Thanks a lot for suggesting though.

I'd replace Wind Drakes with some Mana Leaks or other forms of counterspells for additional control, but otherwise looks good XD
