Great Deck for new Players!
Low Cost and great fun, simple mechanics.
I Made this deck basically because I want to have good number of cheaper decks to play with my friends (most part of these friends new in magic). I recommend this deck to new players who want to start magic without sell your soul.
Strategy
This deck has a simple focus:
Stinkweed Imp,
Armored Skaab
to mill like there's no tomorrow.Satyr Wayfinder to getting some lands and mill.Thought Courier work to mill and for search, is really awesome.
If you have some problems the Sultai Charm and Dimir Charm may help you,
Gnaw to the Bone
is great against aggro decks.
Jace, the Living Guildpact is here because on this deck his is amazing(aaand because he is the cheaper Jace):
- +1 to mill and 'Scry'
- -3 you could use on Satyr Wayfinder/
Armored Skaab
or against your opponent
- -8 Reset the deck (on late game the Splintefright ability may become a drawback). you can use Spider Spawning before use this ability.
this deck can be more fast putting more 1 CMC spells to self-mill as soon as possible but i really prefer a focus on using more creature than Mulch and
Tome Scour
to get a strong creatures early.A great game of the deck mat be like these:Turn 1:
Dream Twist
Turn 2: Satyr Wayfinder/Thought CourierTurn 3: Splintefright/
Boneyard Wurm
At this point with Stinkweed Imp is in Graveyard you can use dredge for mill 5. Satyr in the worst case will mill 4 and dream Twist 3. on the beginning of turn 4 you can use Flashback of Dream Twist or put a
Armored Skaab
and attack with Splinterfright.
In worst case you stil milling and save mana for the charms to protect yourself.
Try to get back your Splinterfrights with Mortuary Myre or try to attack with Kessig Cagebreaker.
Gnaw to the Bone
to survive until turn 6~8 (when you will attack with Kessig).
After this Spider Spawning and Gnaw to the Bone will take care of the game, a lot of tokens and life will have to you a great advantage, Nylea's Bow make yout tokens even dangerous and can deal with flyers and avoid lose by deck end.
Weakness
Since this is a Budget deck is obvious we will have a lot of weakness. the ideia here is point and try to avoid the most common weaknesses.
to do....
Sidedeck
for me is really hard dealing with sidedeck because this deck dont play any format competitively, but we can point some weak points and try to getting a better second game:
Nyx Weaver
: great card in this deck, in early game mill your deck and can search for anything in your grave
Memoricide/
Cranial Extraction
: really, the only thing I found to escape against a Relic of Progenitus or a Tormod's Crypt.
Negate/Mana Leak : self-explanatory
When I have time I will build a good sidedeck against alll these things explained above.
Help me!
I really like this deck and thats why is the first I put here in TappedOut.
I Trying to get the better build under $25 so help and tips about everything will be very welcome!
