** PLAY VIDEO TO MAXIMIZE YOUR DECK VIEWING EXPERIENCE **

By request from The_2ndpanda, here is my take on Brago, King Eternal. The most competitive way to build Brago is full stax (see Re: Stacks - Brago Stax as an example) but with our budget that would be impossible, so we are going to be adding a lot of value ETB/LTB.

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) Get Brago, King Eternal out as quickly as possible

2) Start throwing down high value ETB permanents like Peregrine Drake and Mulldrifter and begin blinking them

3) See if you can luck into one of the infinite combos

The Win Cons

1) Resource denial

2) Normal creature damage

3) Token armies, especially if infinite is reached

The Infinite Combos

Here are all the three card combos:

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake = infinite mana

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake + Altar of the Brood = mill opponents

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake + Frost Titan = hard lock opponents

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake + Geist-Honored Monk / Myr Battlesphere / Whirler Rogue = infinite tokens

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake + Luminate Primordial / Man-o'-War / Phyrexian Ingester / Reflector Mage = remove all opponent's creatures

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake + Nevermaker / Rishadan Brigand / Rishadan Cutpurse / Rishadan Footpad = remove all opponent's permanents

Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake + Cloudblazer / Mulldrifter / Sea Gate Oracle / Sphinx of Uthuun / Wall of Omens = draw your deck

Archaeomancer + Peregrine Drake + Ghostly Flicker = infinite mana
