Deck Description

I wanted to do this deck for quite a while and now that i finally somehow looked at Pharika i decided to make it!

BEST CARDS:
Nemesis of Mortals: HE ROCKS! The fact that playing this guy turn 3 and making him monstrous turn 5 is possible makes him the earliest threat you can get on the field. He can get way out of ham if he sticks for a while.
Pharika, God of Affliction: If your devo is 7 you are dealing soooo much damage to them! if they try to exile your grave you just make snakes, if you need a blocker there is 5/5 indestructible god for 3 mana! if you need an attacker she does fine as well but you'll have to wait till turn 5 or so. The card is just great.
Nyx Weaver: With mystic it can be turn 2 play. He gives you a great advantage and the fact that if you mill something you really didn't want to you can just get it back makes him just a lovely piece of delicious poop

How to Play

Well, as a sort-of-an-aggro-deck(that means you can't race other aggro decks(mostly)) you want to start with a Mystic into a turn 2 weaver or Wayfinder.
THIS IS COMPLICATED:
You need to know when to do what so here it is: (THIS DOESN'T MEAN YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THIS IT'S JUST WHAT I RECOMMEND)
- If you have commune or a salvage in your hand with a wayfinder then you want to play it like this: Wayfinder if you see aggro colors from your opponent and if you have at least 2 of your win conditions in your hand(of if you have 2 or more of Necromancer's Assistant). Cast commune or a salvage if you have at least 1 win con. in your hand and you're trying to cast it ASAP.
- Pharika is always your last priority. Unless you have 7 or more devo.
- Picking the card you keep when self-milling depends mostly on your situation. Vs control you want to keep pharika or Reaper if you don't have that enposing of a board and a Nemesis or a Nighthowler if you do. Vs aggro you just keep what you think will keep you alive the longest and usually that will be Nighthowler or a nemesis, like 99.99% of the time.
-Keep Shadowborn Demon only if have something to kill and you have 7+ cards in you grave.

My budget decks are supposed to let you have fun! Which is what i think MtG should be about, i try to make these decks as competitive as possible while still leting you to have a blast while playing them. If you can make your friends to spend around 50$ you could buy 2-4(some of my decks are under 10$) of my decks and make the experience even richer! Also don't just copy the whole deck(you can, but if you can improve something DO IT!), if you have a better idea pls let me know, i can't always make the perfect deck and sideboard. Again GL and HF!
