Descent of the Dragons + Battlefield Thaumaturge == rawr dragons rawr

That...

is a nice idea ;)3-color aggro I already now from Mardu, but Temur? Totally new ! Good idea!The synergy and the potencial is there, its kinda bw heroic just in other colors and other spells- temur battle rage- awful good, even if its common- Ilove double strike(who not?)!The only ting: the manabase- there only tapped-duals.. I know the price is high but pain, or fetchlands would make the deck faster and more stabalized in its colors!

Good Deck- #Upvote!

6tennis, thanks for the suggestion, but this deck is three mana or less. I would have to have the wizard on the battlefield and then draw Descent later. That's too conditional for aggro. If I was running mid-range aggro, this would be a great tactic.

ShamanOfHunt, I am going to add Frontier Bivouac because that's all the money I've got. I'd love to run some pain lands or some fetch lands, but I just can't afford them. I did briefly try Evolving Wilds, briefly!

A playset of Bivouac seems to do the trick so I'll be updating the deck as soon as my order arrives. I only put in cards I own.

Kurremkarmerruk I can understand- I'm also more budget player ;) But if there is a deck, which I like really much- i sometimes spend to 40Dollars(actually euro) for it. The Pains are pretty high in your colors(shivan reef specially). Not to talk about fetchies! I extremly understand but maybe u got some rares with some value, which u don't need- because you maybe can trade them in your store.For example i tried to build a budget Abzan reanimator deck- I tried to even make it more budget... but lonely 4 rhinos, 3 hornet queens, and 4 cariatids are SO F*#?ing expensive, I didn't believed. And that all, except a manabase -.- I felt so sick xDBut this is a competetiv nice deck thats very budget: GOOD JOB

A tipp: look in spoilers of the new set Dragons of tarkir(already all cards released- saturday prereales i recommend that event very much go there!) and try to find some upgrades for your deck(unfortunally this set goes to 2 colors back, but still there are many useable ones!)

last words

Good luck with this and have fun!(Maybe look on my Warrior deck, its little expensiv but funny ;))

Going into DTK you can include Gudul Lurker. Then you get a little more flexibility and a possible built in counter to double.

Majikthise, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to get a playset of that creature.

I like the idea. Also, Kudos for sticking to a budget and thinking outside the box. I do have a few suggestions however Mortal's Resolve to add to your protection spells. Become Immense is amazing in a deck of this type. Also something you may want to consider is Treasure Cruise. You have a blue included aggro that fills your graveyard quick, getting that extra gas can help. Good Luck to you. +1 from me and may the draws be ever in your favor.

benni4848, thanks for the suggestions.

When I first created this deck, Mortal's Resolve was in the deck for the very reason you point out -- more protection. It was cut because I wanted the protection to be a 1-mana cost, and indestructible does not stop exile. Become Immense made the deck feel like just another Gruul deck so I stayed away from it. I don't have a real reason other than trying something different.

Now Treasure Cruise, that's an interesting card. I admit I get nervous waiting to fill my graveyard, though; Taigam's Scheming is faster and does something similar. Still, this card is tempting. Keeping a full hand would really make this deck dangerous. I'll try this out for a few days.

Glad I could help.

I like that boulder!

In play testing A problem I'm running into is the creature to enchantment ratio. If the opponent boardwipes early then there is a very high chance of dead draws. Can I recommend adding Akroan Crusader ?

Hi, lelines. Thanks for playtesting this deck.

I don't follow what you mean about the enchantment to creature ratio. I run a small amount of creatures in order to run a lot of instants and enchantments -- 28 to 14. The goal is not to put out as many creatures as possible. If I get one I go with that. Two is okay. Three on the battlefield is rare. There's just no need for it. (That's why I only run a single Shaman of the Great Hunt. The game should be almost over if he enters.)

If an opponent runs a lot of burn spells or board wipes, that's when I would side board the Mortal's Resolve in and just make my creature indestructible.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not looking to add more creatures to this deck.

Don't get me wrong, I like Akroan Crusader. But that would mean taking out Monastery Swiftspear or running two Monastery and two Akroan. And I used to run Satyr Hoplite and Akroan before the current block came out. I'm trying to move away from that.

The other option would be to simply add the Akroan Crusader and that means having more creatures in the deck, but that's not something I'm interested in doing with this deck right now.

This is great +1 from me! Do you mind checking out my deck?
