Hi guys , I am sorry for asking but, actually I own the SaffronOliver Budget Variant from the MonoR Hollow One Deck :smiley: so now, I am able to invest 50$ what do ya think would be the first and best choices for Upgrading it?
this is my Budget B/W-Token, based on the Modern event Deck from 2015 with added Sorin, such as the full Playset Path to Exile and the 4. Tidehollow Sculler
During play it feels that my Budget B/R Hollow One is fast and explosive, but the BW/Token feels like driving with Handbrake,......
Therefore I want to ask what I could especially change in the BW/Token out or change it with minor modifications in another Decktype so that it will feel better and more rounded.
But please no fetches in the start that will kill my Budget for em
I just wanna have more plays and maybe more wellrounded decks ...
I hope you can help me and this is the right place for posting it
In our communtity we mostly play Modern, and therefre i bought, build me up 3 budget decks to have a bit difference between them.
Maybe not the best decision, cause for that value I would have gotten maybe 1 good deck, but thats life
For myself I think during the games there are differences in the consistence of the decks, even if they are ok during play or better ( sorry for my bad English)
at the moment I own:
Mono R Hollow One Budgetvariante like posted on MTGGoldfish but wih just 2 Goblin Lore, and 2 Fiery Temper instead ( I like Madness ^^ )
and lastly a B/W-Token, based on the Modern event Deck from 2015 with added Sorin, such as the full Playset Path to Exile and the 4. Tidehollow Sculler
During play it feels that the Hollow One is fast and explosive, but the BW/Token feels like driving with Handbrake,......
The Restore balance feels oundabout ok , not so explosiv like the Hollow One but it feels ok.
Therefore I want to ask what I could especially change in the BW/Token out or change it with minor modifications in another Decktype so that it will feel better and more rounded.
Also if you have Ideas for Improving the Mono R Hollow One feel free to suggest me them [:)]
But please no fetches in the startthat will kill my Budget for em [:)]
I know, each of them will not really a Tier 1 deck, I just wanna have more plays and maybe more wellrounded decks ...
now I have to say I took my time searched the net, and bought me together an Restore Balance Deck, but first I didn't took your advice, Cause I am too interested in 5 Color playing I am sorry mates
I know Lingering souls is a discussed Option, but thats a cheap flying Blocker, I can sacrifice them to the Gargadon and Last but not least, I could cast it twice via flashback. therefore is black needed for it, also for the Dismember and the Nihilith.
Now where i am finished and have sleeved everything Whatcha say is the Land and manabase via Bordeposts enought? I hope/beg for yes
And additionally what I found yesterday: Kiora, the Crashing Wave what do ya think about the Planeswlaker in our deck? It would be an alternative finisher I think...
One of these days, I design a budget version of the deck and post it here. I can imagine the only cards worth more than 3 dollars being Gargadon and RB.
I am sorry for asking, but epoa do you have me some inspiration for your Budget deck?
I actually cut out the black Mana cards, and the swamp
Added 2 Metalwork Colossus and now I am struck, cause i went to be under 100$ but it seems impossible to me
Yes that's the plan, on long term I will get out of this budget style.
Actually the most what is hurting me in the deck are the Prized Amalgam and the Scourge Devils...
But then I dont really need the Hellspark Elementals after that...
That's a bit weird and it makes the deck much slower as it should can be....

Actually I am able to add a bit up on the Budget to get it a little bit better, more competitive, so around 20-30$
I mostly play on FNM and i know it will never be a T1 deck.
But i would be interested if there is an opportunity to make it better with cheap cards
So if you have some suggestions, feel free to post em
Greetings

with Dakmor Salvage and Raven's Crime is it worth to Play a full set of Gurmag Angler in the 8-Rack too?
I know a Smallpox will be devastating for him, but I love both, the Smallpox and the Gurmag Angler
Cause I definetly love the Playstyle of 8-Rack but I wanna add some Creatures inside
But what do ya think is this a deck for the gurmag angler?
