* * * * *MODERN CHALLENGE ALERT* * * * * Being a gimmicky budget player and Yoked Ox collector, I have been trying for days to create a budget Modern deck that makes use of YOKED OX. And can compete at the kitchen table.So I'm throwing this one out there. Modern. Under $40. Playable Yoked Ox deck.Bonus points if Yoked Ox is a focal point of the deck, or is the win condition!(I once tried hooking it up with a Loxodon Warhammer build. Decent, but too fragile). Let's see who can make anything out of this one. I can't wait to see what you guys can come up with!SUGGESTED CARDS WILL BE PLACED IN THE SIDEBOARD. AT THE END OF THE WEEK I WILL TEST EACH OF THEM YEEHAW :D

You could make it a Junk deck and Doran, the Siege Tower to make Yoked Ox a 4/4
Permalink
Doran would've been perfect if only he weren't a 3-splash :(Investing in dual lands for 3-colors would probably cost a bit much.
thats exactly what i was thinking, Ombach.
you could run Doran and use gates
and hold the gates + Doran, Ox would be huge
u could focus on high toughness creatures and equipement, and throw down some sweeped dmg, killing tokens and most winnies decks (not sure wuts prevalent in ur playgroup?)
That's actually a pretty good idea o_0What tough creatures and equipment and sweep would you suggest?Creature kill in quite prevalent and can be a problem.
What if instead of Yoked Ox, i use Kraken Hatchling.
#teamkracken
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!
... hatchling :D

kor spirit dancer ethereal armor vanguard shield.
Nice, Vanguard Shield's a good one. Done-diddly.
Vanguard's shield added to list! Keep it coming.
i think you have a deck right now. it is the best thing i have seen in my whole life!
Yoked Ox. Strictly better than Tarmogoyf.
of course its better than tarmogoyf. theres no doubting Yoked Ox's powers. it should be banned.
Here's my THE YOKED OX CHALLEGE!modernunder $20yoked ox not focus or win con, but does help.http://www.mtgvault.com/pauperedhgeneral/decks/the-yoked-ox-challege/
Good job! I'll form this deck similarly to yours I think. Adding some of your chosen cards to sideboard :))
ConTroll is living up to his name
http://www.mtgvault.com/cha0tic/decks/yoked-ox-challenger/huzzah! with the yoked ox, and high toughness cheap creatures galore!
but what's your win con. theres hardly any attacking. maybe include Darksteel Reactor or Lich's Mirror for staling.
the feed the pack and gutter grime aren't enough?
they can get out lots of tokens, but the wolfs are only 2/2's. One Shock can kill that. And Gutter Grime could be useful, but if it's out your opponents will either get it out ASAP or prevent your creatures from dying. (which may sound good but your creatures have 0 power.)
true enough, but the general idea is that with each creature 'feed the pack' eats, you get 4+ wolves (i don't mind them using a shock on that), and it feeds the grime. stalling long enough to get both shouldn't even be all too difficult unless you're facing $200+ decks or something designed to deal with something like this.the reactor and mirror are good... but they don't fit the flavor i was looking for.. (namely using the yoked ox as something more than a random 1 drop blocker)
Hmm I tried it. It is a little sluggy but your defenders often make it in time. Gutter grime is decent though. As is Tree of Redemption. Sapling of Colfenor definitely caught my eye. Bow of Nylea is a little strange since I don't attack often in the deck. Perhaps Spear of Heliod?Good job though! Adding some of your cards to list!
Themed around the concept of growth/fields/harvest/etc. The site didn't have Field of Souls in Sorin vs. Tibalt, so the site does not recognize this deck as Modern, but it still fits in reality. Enjoy!http://www.mtgvault.com/alackofreason/decks/yoked-ox-harvest/
Noted and added some of your cards! Stay updated :D
Duel Decks don't change the format legalities of cards.
THIS. HAHAHA.I just need a moder-legal replacement for about face. Looking for a substitute and adding a lot of your cards to the challenge list. Good job man!
Does it have to be standard?
probably at least modern
Ignore my last comment
It's cool :)
add collective blessing
Thanks for the suggestion. It could be viable.
Add Adaptive Automation + Door of Destinies!
Done and done. Thanks :)
Not the main point of the deck, but not badhttp://www.mtgvault.com/brandonpeterson/decks/yoked-ox-challenge-extort/
This actually looks very playable. Testing and adding some of your cards. Thank you! :)
I made a deck that cast the Ox a thousand times then kills with grapeshot. Feel free to check it out. It's called combo Ox.
I lol-ed xDThe challenge is for modern and budget, but thanks though! Funny concept.
http://www.mtgvault.com/azraeltheslain/decks/beast-of-burden/Defender deck utilizing Ox as its only line of offense. Considering adding in the Pillarfield Ox as well, but would have to remove a precious Defender to do so.
Liked and commented. Thanks!
What color(s) will the completed deck be?
I'm thinking it will most probably be monowhite so that we won't have to slow the deck down by using gates, or investing in expensive lands. But people have suggested things like Rancor and Unflinching Courage, so the deck may run green as well.Use whatever you'd like. I'm open to anything :)
http://www.mtgvault.com/mugenkira/decks/defense-is-offence/
http://www.mtgvault.com/trollking21/decks/yoke-dat-ox/
I see you put in Adaptive Automation and Taurean Mauler. I think you should put in oxes and changeling creatures with Door of Destinies and other low-money-costing cards that can boost the deck's creatures based on something they each have in common. I would say Coat of Arms if it weren't so expensive. :/
http://www.mtgvault.com/flioxan/decks/ox-challenge/not sure how well this would work but looks like it would work
Why is everything on sideboard?
I'm looking at all the responses to the challenge and setting aside the cards I think I will use in my ox deck (currently under construction). Feel free to suggest :)
Here's my entry? http://www.mtgvault.com/munsonthedestroyer/decks/yoked-ox-challenge/
so... who won?
Thats what I'm also wondering
I haven't decided. ConTroll and PauperEDHGeneral's ideas struck me though I haven't finished testing.Putting this on hold for a bit to fix up my white deck :)
I made another Yoked Ox deck. This one is much better than my last.http://www.mtgvault.com/pauperedhgeneral/decks/no-power-no-problem/
Looking into this one! :D
I applaud this deck/Doran is the man. Let me know if you want me to make another one. I think I can still get creative with a Yoke win condition. :)
