a few sideboard options:

Celestial Flare - removes hexproof/indestructible

Brave the Elements - swing in for the kill!

Elixir of Immortality - stop that mill engine!

kamarupa - GREAT suggestions, Elizir could be a lot of fun just to do it all over again!

Akroma, Angel of Fury might be an improvement on Sagu Mauler despite being more expensive

jparker-sartori21 - Oh yeah. She's worth the investment at least for a one of. Cheaper on MTGO but even worth it in paper. I run her in less budget conscious versions of the deck.

brianokafor23 - Nothing yet (still) but would you be wanting to stick budget or are you open to bigger adjustments?

Also, GREAT decktech at MTGGoldfish for a budget Modern Mono-White Blink deck:

Not as budget as this deck, but there may be some good tech worth importing. Definitely giving it heavy consideration.

Ya I wanna keep it a least budget.have tested the deck or find any budget upgrades to the deck

I honestly think wall of resurgence should be in the deck. The 3/3 land dies to almost anything ex: path to exile,dismember,ghost quarter,lightning bolt

Additional potential adds:

Epochrasite looks like it could be fun, and the potential for a recurring 4/4 thanks to blinking cards? Not bad.

Condemn is worth a look, too. Celestial Flare is already suggested and a better option facing a Hexproof attack, but it's cheaper and can help delay the opposition while this deck gets set up.

I meant the wall shouldn't be in the deck

brianokafor23 - Wall of Resurgence works best when you blink it to make the land a 6/6. There's that extra step that, yeah, leaves the mana open to hate, but the opportunity for bigger is nice, and getting a big butt blocker is useful. That said, it definitely could be a flex spot. In less budget blink decks I've played it's usually gone for a Wall of Omens or something a bit more useful. Maybe the Ninth Bridge Patrol or Epochrasite could go in its place?

Might have to steal the Epochrasite idea. I've never seen it before but I like it :)

Try adding Blade Splicer

Acmegamewerks - in a non-budget build absolutely. But with an eye on price it's an upgrade card - especially on MTGO.

Tormod's Crypt instead of Scrabbling Claws to remove their entire graveyard. One card at a time isn't enough for dredge, and losing the card draw off claws is worth it to get rid of their entire graveyard instantly for no mana. Sweet deck! I've always loved blink and its super cheap as well. +1

bigpappyj says... #20

SilentSpook - Yeah, I need to make that change. I blanked on how cheap Tormod's Crypt was, totally a better option. Thanks!

Thoughts on adding Solemn recruit from Aether revolt?

Holy moley, I'm digging this deck. Cost me less than a buck to build it frin scratch on MTGO and it's a whole lot of fun.

bigpappyj says... #23

DeBro5 - I like her but I feel like Solemn Recruit doesn't do enough on her own. I'll give it a try.

robotfactory - That's awesome! I first built it with MTGO in mind and it's been a blast. Have you made any adjustments to it?

bigpappyj- Not yet, but I'm still trying to figure out how to pilot this thing. I've got this problem with "saving" cards I might need later instead of playing them now to use them for their intended effects. Kinda like finishing am RPG with 500 potions because "I might need this later."

As I see it, your deck lacks a legitimate way to win the game once it has the lockdown. The creatures are miniscule, you have 0 repeatable blink sources to generate value and advantage and no late game plan, beside resolving a captain of the watch and crossing your fingers or multiple court street denizens.

While I can understand keeping the deck monoW for budget constraints, you lose nothing for adding a cheap U splash, but gain a lot.

Momentary Blink, Reality Acid and Detention Sphere are the three biggest additions on the cheap for blue. Sphere gives you an easy two-for-one or more. Reality Acid can combine with Leonin Relic-Warden to destroy all permanents of the opponent. Momentary Blink gives you double the blink per card ration, which is much better than long road home's counter.

For reference on UW, Budget Acid Trip.

If keeping it mono W, it is a terrible idea to exclude 4 Flickerwisp (since when are these 3 bucks?!), which are the bread and butter of blink decks. Additionally, a couple of Conjurer's Closets will help you close(t) out your games.
