Six lands is a mistake. I'd go as low as fourteen. You need to hit at least two land drops for this deck to combo reliably quick. You need to hit them ON TIME in order to have answers to some of the awful stuff that the opponent can put down on those turns before you combo out.Additionally, I understand some of your spells are "manaless"; this doesn't change the fact that you NEED mana to cast any damned thing.

I dig the inclusion of Rampager and Strangleroot. I don't think this one needs fetches at all, as most your symbols are Green and other fixing can be done with Birds precisely BECAUSE the odds are better of pulling a Forest. But you've done a fine job balancing the amounts of each. But beware that one time in ten in which you pull Rootbound in your opening 7 as a dead card :/My advice, Goblin Guide, and Flinthoof Boar. They'd effectively BOTH have haste in your deck.
Keep it up like this, and it'll be like Northern didn't leave.Northy is an indefensible part of this community. But I trust North's disciples to carry on his work. Good to know Standard is indeed a viable canvas for Budget decks.
Don't you DARE die on us, you magnificent bastard.
Have you considered Wild Beastmaster? She's done great things for me. But then, I don't have Hydra Omnivore or Kalonian Hydra.
I've always been in awe of your budget decks. I believe this is your greatest work to date. Easing people into the funsies community format, where dreamers are rewarded - none of that 'it needs to faster' buttyogurt. An EDH deck is your opus, Julian. You're a staple in this online community.
A janky Modern Budget deck called March of the Apostles used this, 20 x Shadowborn Apostle and a handful of crazygood demons (Greezy, Bloodgift, Reaper from the Abyss). Bloodbond March works with the Apostle's sac ability. Sac em to bring out a demon. Summon another one next turn, rez them all. Rinse and repeat.You can have unlimited Shadowborn Apostle in a deck. He liked twenty.Also 3x Altar's Reap would be too funny.
Has the thread already suggested 1x Master of Etherium? Only ONE of those, Julian. For the 5th place Affinity Deck in GP Spain ran only one of them. YES, I realize budget is a concern, but he is an artifact LORD, and you'd only be running one of it.
Dood. Apostle.dec.Shadowborn Apostle is the way, Julian. 20 of them sluts and 4 good demons. Among them, Yung Greezy (Griselbrandt)
Strionic Resonator to milk Jeleva's pool of stolen things?Additionally, Rift Elemental IS great. My Varolz deck got JACKED up by one earlier today. I'll swear to its efficacy.
Eye of the Storm?
Wall of Blossoms? 0/4 with a cantrip.
Butforyou... I'm assuming you have a flesh copy of the deck. The landfall and thinning in here alongside the PURE onedrop creature base, this thing would explode with 4x Vial.
Heydood. I believe in budget decks. I also believe Aether Vial is a fragment of the one true god, not that bearded chump who grants wishes.They're ten bucks now, son. Screw Goyf - THAT is how this deck explodes out of the gate.
Por que no Nykthos?
I'm hoping this deck can still be a thing, now that Deathrite Sherman is banned. It intrigues me deeply.
Behold the Gold Standard for Varolz decks. Tell me one thing: Why not moar Dredge Creatures?
Do you have a plan to tap/untap Pseudo-Bob over there that I'm not seeing?Or give it Gift or Orzhova and swing (usually) unhindered? That also will work for at least long enough to net worthy card advantage off of it.
I for one would be deeply excited to see Modern become a friendly place for combos once again. Put a shitload of money into fetch lands, run it at a tourney and report back to us. You may be the progenitor of a new archetype.
Love to see Storm in Modern. Have you gotten to run it recently? The meta is in favor of more repeatable combos such as Twin Exarch and Living End. Is storm still relevant?
