"When going wide is just not big enough."

This is a (mostly) budget token deck taking advantage of some silly token mechanics. The deck has been play tested against much more expensive decks ($600+ range) and is competitive in casual games. The custom categories of the cards represent the roles the cards typically fill.

Overall Deck Rating: B

Fun Factor: High

Play Difficulty: Medium

Ability to Win: High

Budget Adjusted Ability to Win: High

The rules of the budget acquisition is that no card can cost me more than $10 to acquire which can be accomplished by finding good prices on the cards or by just using cheaper mostly equivalent cards.

This deck takes advantage of the fact that its not particularly threatening unless one of the decks more broken combos come into play or are enabled by other decks. Winning comes down to fairing better than the other decks at wars of attrition due to the bonus life gain from Trostani, Selesnya's Voice.

Some of the more dumb effects come from making the non-token creatures into token creatures either using Mimic Vat or Seance and then making a few copies of them. Who doesn't want to populate token Avenger of Zendikars? The most broken effect comes from playing Phyrexian Processor and having Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and Rhys the Redeemed ready to make copies of a stupidly giant token and gain your life back.
