Deck Help forum

Im working on a blue green artifact type of deck, so please constructive criticism!

Blue: Wall of Frost 2 Mana Leak 4

Green: Cultivate 4 Llanowar elves 4 Ascetism 2 Vines of vastwood 4

Artifact:

Sword of Vengeance 4 Memnite 4 Steel overseerer 2 Precursor golem 4

Lands: forest 11 island 9 Halimar Depths

note this is a low budget deck.

Asceticism just isn't a very good card in constructed. It's too slow to protect anything but very late-game creatures, and the regeneration is very limited against board wipe. Wouldn't you rather be dropping Mitotic Slime or Acidic Slime that turn?

Yeah, I agree, however i use ascetism to protect precursor golem because one of his effects is "Whenever a player casts and instant or sorcery spell that targets only a single Golem, that player copies that spell for each other Golem that spell could target. Each copy targets a different one of those Golems.". I think i can replace it with redirect, that way i can take a lightning bolt that would have killed precursor and direct it back. Your advice is VERY appreciated! :D

you know what really hurts Mr. Percursor Golem......

A Searing Blaze with landfall... yeah.

anyways with regards to the deck.

Sword of Vengeance should be dropped to 1 or 2 and then probably play 1x Sword of Body and Mind (If you can afford it. otherwise play an extra Into the Roil )

Wall of Frost doesn't do too much atm, you should probably drop it and with the extra space from the sword play 3x Trinket Mage .

Then with the extra 9 spots not listed

2x Brittle Effigy 1x Chimeric Mass 1x Everflowing Chalice 2x Stoic Rebuttal

All of those cards are $3 or less

And as i think you might need more answers drop 1 Memnite for 2x Into the Roil

Then you Have 2 Spots left to fill ideally with jace, the mind sculptor if you manages to get you hands on them, However to maintain a low budget version you really need to get some card draw/ ensure you get good draws so maybe 2x Preordain or 2x Foresee
