ULTRA Budget Blanka Voltron Storm HD Remix

I decided to go fully jank with my Blanka, my goal was to have it sub $50 and to focus on the 1v1 nature of Street Fighter, having only a few creatures to support Blanka's game plan but to ultimately have him do all the fighting.

It is a very simple, do or die approach which makes this deck very much a glass cannon. I hope you like it.

Blanka is a 5 mana creature which means our first principal move is to ramp hard and get him out before some of the slower decks. We utilize standard ramp to get Blanka out hopefully turn 3-4 with enough mana to hold up our large amount of preservation spells Snakeskin Veil // Tamiyo's Safekeeping. Upon untapping with Blanka we can take advantage of the cantrip-y voltron nature of the deck.

The idea is to bulk Blanka up with auras and instants, I opted for cards with a "draw a card" effect that also targets Blanka, so you can storm together a combo, get Blanka super big and hopefully hit for lethal sooner than not. Viridescent Wisps // Season of Growth // Fists of Flame. We also have some mana dumps to hopefully finish off our opponent Crown of Flames // Ghitu Firebreathing.

That is pretty much it. With this deck you are likely to crush your opponent early, or not at all.

Our opponents can help with our game plan, with Blanka such a high-value target we can profit from our opponents trying to remove him. Opponent targets us with a Bedevil, we just cast Withstand Death and benefit from 2x the Blanka triggers.

Our storm cards allow us to go from 0 - 100 in an instant. Grapeshot can be used to finish off our opponents, or use it on Blanka to enrage him significantly. Every 1 damage to Blanka means +2/+2 for Blanka and 2 damage for our opponents.

After casting 3 cards, Storm-Kiln Artist + Haze of Rage means infinite casts and we can ping our opponents to death.

Easily Snake Umbra is the best card in our deck. The more players the better. Whenever we trigger Blanka we can draw X cards where X is the amount of opponents.
