This is my budget humans/Voltron list. I have always wanted to build a budget list. The vast majority of the cards are $ 0.35 with only a few that went above a dollar. Everything was under $2 at the time of purchase. (I was trying to keep it all under a $1 but there were a handful of cards that I was not going to skimp on)

Thematic wise I also wanted to step out of my comfort zone.

My least played colors are red followed by white followed by black. So for this list I went with Mardu.

The goal is pretty simple, go wide with humans and attack.

Go tall with cat and attack.

My favorite cards in the deck are:

BloodSoaked Champion - This card has been the most synergistic piece in the deck. With just the commanders out, the value it generates (especially for 1 mana) is insane.

Contraband Livestock - Hilarious budget removal (roll dice, turn creature into a farm animal, classic)

Juri, Master of the Revue - Trying to see how big Juri can get is quite a fun mini game

Call of the Coppercoats - I love this card, instant board in a can. I spent my extra pennies to make sure this was in the deck

Giant Killer - a fun adventure card, a one drop if I need the body, and the tap out is relevant given Silvar's menace. It's also a fun budget removal

Cultist of the Absolute - as a one drop background that effects both commanders this is a Voltron dream. There are enough disposable bodies to make its upkeep effect negligible

Selfless Glyphweaver - boardwipe and boardwipe protection with a commander that can gain indestructible, yes please

Jerren, Corrupted Bishop - okay so I haven't summoned the demon yet, but the mini-game is a fun in game challenge
