Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

[Oman]

I has cards now. Not good ones but enough that I could build a weird red/green sliver aggro deck.

Like I said, not good, but a start. I'm thinking of playing at the comp on Sunday just to get some game time in.

Hey! What's your decklist? There are some cool budget sliver builds out there.

[InflatablePie]

Drafted a foil Mutavault.

Today has been a good day.

[xRECKONERx]

ill give u a dollar 4 it

[Oman]

I'll have to post my deck list in about 48hrs when I get home.

[xRECKONERx]

Woo! Won my first pauper tourney match 2-0!

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Cremate / Beckon Appiration work wonders, hit their ghostly in response to the Archomancer trigger.Much more reliable then trying to add beatdown / contimained grounds.

Agreed that sounds like the trick I might need to pull it out, I think I'd rather have another card rather than a 1/1 flyer for them to just gatekeeper so anyone got any MTGO cremates I can borrow?

[Thestatusquo]

I got you.

1x Mugging
1x Flames of the Firebrand
1x Giant Growth
2x Shock
1x Lobber Crew

So yeah, it feels a little schitzophrenic, but it's kind of the best I could really build out of a deckbuilder's toolkit.

[xRECKONERx]

Cool deal. Gimme a bit and I'll post up a budget-friendly Sliver list that you could put together mostly by trading away some of your stuff + throwing in a few bucks.

[xRECKONERx]

I'd probably run something like this:

4x Predatory Sliver
4x Manaweft Sliver
4x Sentinal Sliver
4x Striking Sliver
4x Bonescythe Sliver
4x Blur Sliver
2x Megantic Sliver
2x Thorncaster Sliver

Most of those are cheap as hell... the rare slivers might cost you $1 each or something, but that's the basis for a decent slivers deck. You have some options for the noncreature spells to run... I'd say farseek, Boros Charm, and a couple Hive Stirrings are good places to start. Could even run Gruul War Chant to give a fieldwide buff.

Lands are expensive if you want to do it right, but you can easily just run Guildgates/Basic Land instead (unless you have access to the shocklands). The "good" version of the sliver deck runs Domri Rade, but he's at like $26 right now, so not exactly a cheap investment.

[xRECKONERx]

Oooh. Just realized Descendant's Path would be cool as fuck in this deck, since everything is going to share a type. Hmmm.

[Oman]

Slivers

Thanks man, it's an idea I'll bat around. I'm still feeling around for what deck style I really like.

[sthar8]

Oman, if you want something different you should check out the Nivix Cyclops deck. It's a cutesy combo and I think a budget version cost me less than $6 online. Also, totally go to your FLGS. Support b&m venues!

[xRECKONERx]

I love that deck! I took it to the first ever FNM after DGM released and did pretty well. It's really fun a "combo"-ish, but it's not a true combo deck. Unfortunately, there aren't any of those in Standard right now (well, Unexpected Results was around for a little bit).

The actual cheapest "good" deck you can play right now is RDW, I'm pretty sure. Although... my UB deck was cheap as hell to build.

[sthar8]

Humanimator is fo reals combo. Too bad scavenging ooze completely invalidates it. I need to put my paper version back together because I promised some 12 year olds they could try it out for an event.

I've done really well with RG aggro that cost less than $20, not counting the lands. I played mono green last night and did very well, but kalonian hydra ruins the budget on that one. One of the kids borrowed my bant voltron and won a lotus with it. I think there's a decent budget version of that to be built too. Aristocrats without red might be viable, and would certainly be much cheaper.

[Sudo_Nym]

Descendant's Path is really cool, but you need 30+ creatures that can trigger off it to make it work.

Personally, if I were building on a budget, I'd try RDW:

4 Firefist Striker
4 Gore-House Chainwalker
4 Mogg Flunkies
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Rakdos Shred-Freak
3 Splatter Thug
4 Foundry Street Denizen
3 Dynacharge
4 Pillar of Flame
4 Searing Spear
22 Mountain

Probably could put that together for less than $20.

FrankerZ

[PJ.]

an All-In-Red style deck similar to what Sudo posted would run you about $30 on TCGPlayer, unless aussie shipping fucks you.

[Oman]

Aussie shipping is about $10 per order, obviously size doesn't matter in the quantities we're talking.

Big limitation is it can only be from one store, cause if I have to go to another store to get a single $0.40 card, that's $10.40

[Fate]

the mana base to make slivers is RIDIC expensive.


Why the fuck has no one suggested Mono Red yet. Cuz that's a REAL deck sons ;D

[Fate]

oh they did suggest red

nuwen you liar

[Fate]

I'm pretty sure hellrider is down to like $3 or something crazy and its worth picking him up just because hes the best card MonoR plays right now

[Fate]

2 Madcap Skills
4 Lightning Mauler
4 Firefist Striker
4 Mogg Flunkies
4 Rakdos Cackler
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
4 Stromkirk Noble
4 Hellrider

4 Pillar of Flame
4 Searing Spear
22 Mountain


thats a better list though some cards are rotating youll only rotate out like <$10 worth

Mono G doesnt need Hydra, it needs Silverhearts:


19 Forest
3 Mutavault

4 Arbor Elf
4 Predator Ooze
4 Strangleroot Geist
4 Wolfir Silverheart
4 Kalonian Tusker
4 Elvish Mystic
2 Druid's Familiar
4 Elvish Archdruid
2 Young Wolf

4 Rancor
2 Revenge of the Hunted



If yuo don't have mutavaults its still fine.

STOMP.
