The #1 Oyobi deck on TappedOut!

 

Spirits all around!

In my ongoing endeavor to bring frugality to Commander, each card in this deck is under $2 and the whole deck is under $40 (not including the commander). If you like what you see, UPVOTE! or you can check out all my other $40 budget decks. If you see some areas of improvement, let me know what you'd change. Just make sure all suggested cards are under $2.

The Strategy

1) Hopefully get some ramp/card draw early

White doesn't have a lot of options when it comes to either (especially with the budget we've limited ourselves to) and, at , our commander is really expensive.

2) Don't let the game get out of hand

We have lots and lots of control elements in this deck that deal with all kinds of permanents so make sure to not let things get out of hand before we have a chance to get going.

3) Play Oyobi, Who Splits the Heavens

Start making those tokens with our other spirit/arcane spells and buffing them. Flying damage is hard for opponents to deal with, so if we can amass an army, we should be in good shape.

The Win Cons

For this deck, an army of flyers that grows larger and stronger each turn is really our only win con.

Buffs: Caged Sun, Door of Destinies, Honor of the Pure, Obelisk of Urd
