I'm aiming to build a Korvold deck on a budget of about 500-600, hence the exclusion of staples like Food Chain, Wrenn and Six, Survival of the fittest, etc. However, at the time of writing, I already have most of the GB staples, from previous decks

With that, I present to you:

King Korvold's No-Chain Loops (on an budget)! Not as casual as Aristocrats/Sacrifice, yet not as competitive as Food chain! Similar to Sidisi Brood Tyrant, this deck has multiple lines which layer together and/or involve the same pieces. While most of the combos utilize Mortuary + Korvold for Gitrog/Tasigur-esque loops, there's also the must-include of Dockside + Sabertooth, alongside some reanimator strategies as alternative/backup lines. There's also a minimal lands package: Ramunap excavator, Life from the loam, Squandered resources, Orcish lumberjack & Sylvan safekeeper.

Inspired by Nerve_Atk, Centipedantic, Emily Lucyfer's Fallen One, ShaperSavant, SeniorEdificer & Manbat's lists!
