Your mission it it is an early game bomb where if you play your commander right after him say t4 not many cards are going to have 5 toughness flying that early so worst case scenario you hit them for ten then sac it to stop the 2 card draw that's my opinion thought it is you deck lol

Works better in mono-black when there are plenty of saccing options, that this deck doesn't have. It's a good card but not good for this particular deck.

A good addition would be shape the sands from DTK! Instant speed +0/+5 combat trick won me a couple games at pre-release along with assault formation _

Grim contest is horrible, just use straight removeal.

austin11223344 with other decks it is horrible, but not with this. And it's super cheap.

maybe Shape the Sands?

draconwme that only does one creature, while Tower Defense does ALL creatures!

Luutamo great deck! I used this as a base for my Doran deck! Give it a look at Dorans Death! (Started off budget but then I added cards from my collection and traded some others - I'm still poor though and can't go as deep as I'd like!)

Have you considered Dash Hopes would either cancel something or make them eat 5.

Upward-SaGa, solid option. Thanks!

I realize that by itself it's small but Abzan Beastmaster for massive card advantage?

DaftVader that's why it's already in the maybeboard :)

why again no Black Sun's Zenith? its only about a dollar.

draconwme because I don't like it at all. It was just easier to list them all like that.

what about Accorder's Shield?

Skaven123 it was in, but I took it out because there simply were better cards to have

Llanowar Augur?

draconwme, valid suggestion! Thanks!

It would require some slight adjusting in your deck, but what do you think about Meekstone?

Jaeniki, thanks for suggesting! Though, I think that in this format there wouldn't be that big of a need for that card. CMC3 will automatically get rid most of the big creatures.

Anytime, Thank you for considering my suggestion. I figured it could still work as a form of lock down since your creatures focus on their toughness over power. I feel like I encounter a lot of decks that run 3/1 creatures like Lifebane Zombie and I also see Master of the Feast often. Keep it in mind for a side. GJ on the deck overall. +1 from me.

What about Crypt Rats ?

Hey Luutamo have you thought about Voyaging Satyr it's kidna like a cheap Sylvan Caryatid, but it can attack?? 2/2 bear with add any colour can be pretty good, and certainly fits what you're price range is ;)

I'm not sure if it is out of budget, but what are your thoughts about Birds of Paradise? 1/1 flyer for one that can add any color, and they go for about $2 - $5, and I think it is worth the inclusion.

Do you guys (PenguinPnS & draconwme really think that this deck needs manaramping, in tiny leaders, with avg CMC of 2.28 (Serious question, not meant as sarcasm)? If so, what would you take off? Because I really don't see any cards that are worse.

mana ramping i don't think is ever bad, and really it is just fixing, and it can actually help if ever the situation arises where you want to just add one more mana to get out that clutch creature. I would take out Archetype of Courage in my opinion, because i don't think first strike is necessary when we are beating in with 5/5s or even with 3/3s because making a trade here in there generally is ok. again though, that is my opinion on the subject.
