The store owner at my lgs agreed to hold pauper tournaments on sunday afternoons, but only if I could make 5 $10 budget decks complete with a sideboard that captures the essence of each color. The plan was to have a 3 round swiss with a purchased booster pack as the fee, and if you wanted to rent a deck it would cost you an additional $1. If you wanted to buy it, the deck would be $15. So I got to brewing.

Introducing the Mono-Black version of my $10 budget series!At first when I thought there would be no way to re create MBC at a tenth of the cost. However, I quickly realized most of that cost was tied up in 4 cards. So I retooled the deck to give it the same feeling and viola, I give you MBC on a budget for all you sadistic players.

Please share this deck and business plan with your lgs. As a community it's important to spur the growth of the format and hope that one day Wizards might actually pay attention to it.

1-2 @ second event — May 23, 2016

Edit

A great turn out of 15 players forced one of the associates to play a rental deck to make an even 16. I picked up Swarming Devotion, someone rented Budget Black Control, and the associate ran Communist Party.

The player of this ended up buying the deck and is looking to turn it into the typical MBC that we all know of. She has experience playing Jund in modern and MBC online, so she knew how the deck runs. The lack of Witches main board really hurt though she said after the deck finished 1-2. In the first match up she beat a Mono Green Infect list 2-1. The second round it squared off against a strong UG Madness deck that was hard to keep up with and lost 0-2. The last round is where the witches would have made all the difference against Delver, but sadly it fell 0-2.

I need to figure out how to put in the witches where they don't nombo with all the 1 toughness creatures while still making it under $10. I'm not sure it's possible though, so the deck will probably remain as is for while.

Stompy and Affinity both went 3-0 and were the top dogs of the day.
