  • posted a message on my first tournament deck (boros agro)
    If budget is your concern there are tons of cards to choose from in the Innistrad block. Below are good options in standard under $10:

    One drops


    Two Drops


    Three Drops


    Four Drops


    Five Drops
    Zealous Conscripts

    Top Spells


    To be honest the only cards you have listed worth playing are Boros Charm, Frontline Medic, and Aurelia. However, Aurelia is way out of your curve since it's an aggro deck. You want to curve out early so you have all your creatures out in the first few turns. Aurelia breaks this strategy by costing too much.

    You also want to consider if you want to go more white or more red. White would be more human oriented, while red would be faster but with overall weaker creatures.

    As for your wish for more removal for enchantments and artifacts, red and white have PLENTY of removals.

    My kind of deck, looks extremely solid. I would probably take out mizzium as overload probably won't happen and replace it with 2 firefist strikers or 2 pyreheart wolves.


    Mizziums are not used for overload in RDW. It's used for Smiters, Restoration Angels, or other creatures with big butts that mono red has issues dealing with.

    As for OP, I would put Hound of Griselbrand in the SB.

    Just as a heads up, some K-Marts are having a buy one, get one 50% off sale on all boosters, intro decks, duel decks, etc. I think it lasts until the end of the month. I picked up the 3 of $10 value packs so technically I got 2 AoGR and six boosters for $15 with tax.

    They are decent for fun play. Put the decks into a bag, and let people randomly pull them out and play a big grand melee. Good for a laugh.

    Not so good for fetching money cards. Sometimes, you get a decent one from the packs that accompany the intro packs, but that is a crap shoot.


    That's what I figured. I thought maybe, just maybe, one of the old intro packs may have some card that was worthless back in the days and worth more now.

    I've bought Sorin vs Tibalt already.

    I was thinking maybe PvsC and the intro deck with Student of Warfare for 50% off? A SoW with a RoE booster for $6 doesn't sound too shabby, but I don't know if any card in PvsC are trade worthy besides Phyrexian Arena.

    Just as a quick intro, I got into the game right before Innistrad came out and have only been playing Standard and barely looked into cards before Scars since I don't play Modern or Legacy.

    Now, just this weekend I went to a local K-Mart for the first time and noticed they have old cards for sale. They have just about every intro deck as far back as RoE, booster packs back to M10, and the only duel deck they have is Phyrexia vs. The Coalition. They're all at retail price, but they're also on sale for Buy One Get One Half Off. The question is, even with the sale, are any of these worth buying? My goal is having something decent to trade with people at my local FNM or sell anything worth a good penny.

    Thanks ahead of time.
