This is for all those haters who don't think you can ball on a budget. No card is over $10, and most should not exceed $1. I really made this deck just for one guy to help him optimize the purpose of the deck.

In commander, you have to balance your color combination's strength and its weakness. The strength of Green-White/ Selsenya is in creating creature tokens, gaining life and getting +1/+1 counters. It's secondary strengths are in mass 'board-wide' creature removal and targetted artifact and enchantment removal/ hate. Selesnya's big weaknesses is that it cannot stop counter spells, is not fast, is not usually big, and possibly worst of all, has the least amount of card draw/ card advantage in the game.

This deck, although cheap and not competitive, aims to help new players to see the benefits of their commander, while being able to play against opponents who can draw more cards or can play bigger or faster things. The way that Selesnya handles its opponents is not by out-gaining life, although it may seem like that. The way Selesnya handles its opponents is by removing all creatures, if possible, and key artifacts or enchantments, and then utilizing its quickly established board of token creatures to draw cards (with cards like Staff of the Storyteller, Skullclamp or Audience with Trostani that draw cards based on tokens or by getting damage through like Toski, Bearer of Secrets). Another key mechanic to use is 'Convoke' which allows you to tap creatures to pay a portion or all of the mana cost of a spell. This will help you grow your army or control the board all while decieving your opponent due to appearing tapped out without any available untapped lands.
