Budget $6: Mach White

by Shinza on 31 August 2014

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

The idea of this deck is to get artifacts out quickly to cause metalcraft to activate.

Ideally, a first turn homunculus and a second and third turn armory or infiltration or metallurgeon gives the necessary 3 artifacts.

Resist the urge to chump block. Take the early damage. Your critters get bigger and it is FAR more disruptive to dispense justice later when the opponent swings with bigger indestructible critters and your metalcraft makes Dispense Justice twice as potent.

Moonsilver Spear attracts hate, so the Sanctum Gargoyles may need to retrieve it from the graveyard..

Mass Calcify is an almost auto-win since all the creatures in this deck are white.

I think your black $6 deck would win as it is now. The black knights and gray merchants would kill.

Small flaws. This still seems like a whole fun deck to play!
And I'm not sure about the Adventuring Gear...

Me neither. I think I'll keep it as is for now, though I was deliberating the Banshee Blade as a substitute for Armory of Iroas. Almost identical, except the counters remain with the blade instead of going on the creature. Nevertheless, I appreciate the feedback!
Just for grins I came up with another budget 6 white deck.

True that. This $6 budget idea is intriguing. Very restrictive, but rewarding. Its like the MTG equivalent of "small ball" in baseball. No home runs. Just basics.
With the volume of cards and the power creep, this brings it back to what the commons can do. Reminds me of when I opened my first pack back in the Revised days and marvelled at the Prodigal Sorcerer and the Craw Wurm
