Challenge rules: 1) Must be standard legal as of April 18, 2011. 2) The deck must only contain "common" rarity cards. 3) Try to get it into your local FNM's top8 =D

Actually I have no idea what that is but my friend was complaining about how you cant get a good deck without putting a lot of money into it, and the first thing that came to mind was a deck full of commons so lets see how good these decks can get.

Yay! Since I'm not exactly made of money (yep, no Jace2.0's, Gideon's, or Elspeth's here), I love these challenges.
Here's my idea: R/W Common Challenge

So This isn't all commons, but the mainboard totals to something around a $20.

Yeah, no way I could get a common deck into top 8 at my FNM. With +70 people I struggle to get a Jace deck into top 8 sometimes.

The vampire deck was just an example for me, I'm Brainstorm ing a U/W control with only commons

Instead of common deck, you should make it uncs and commons or better yet a fixed dollar amount. I'm in the same boat as Mr 3.14159, no way I could make T8 without having a highly competitive deck.
The cheapest deck I got first place with was RDW and at 8-9 bucks a pop, Goblin Guides make the deck expensive, not to mention the 20 dollar price tag on Koths.

ok Raddman, its like you are blanking on the fact that this is a challenge. You are given only commons and told to make a deck with it then try it. This is a test of your deckbuilding and playing ability, removing how great of cards you have.

I haven't actually completed it yet, but we'll see how it does this week.

Here you go, U/G infect all you have to do is swap Mycosynth Fiend out for Rot Wolf and add 2 Bladed Pinions and 2 Giant Growth s instead of card:Tezzeret's Gambit and its all commons

I dunno if this challenge is still active, but here's my entry: Common, Yes. Average? Maybe.

The Common Challenge is my example deck for this challenge, if you happen to get your deck into top8, extend the challenge and make your deck 2 colors, if you didn't already.
