Budegt Control Deck

Deck Help forum

Posted on Nov. 12, 2013, 8:21 a.m. by Draos

Hi guys, I play MTG on a budget, and because of this usually play cheap aggro decks such as RDW. I want to try a different play style that sticks to a $30-$50 budget. Is a control deck at all feasible with that range of money? Also are there any really good budget decks that I should try out(aggro, control does not matter)

This is for FNMing by the way

A lot of the more successful control decks run on planeswalkers, so it will be hard but could be a fun challenge.

The key issues you need to address are -

  1. Having quality counterspells and insta-kills

  2. Having quality board clear

  3. Surviving your own board clear

  4. Drawing enough cards - always having counterspells etc in hand.

It's worth trying.

Well... there's always Maze's End control for a more budget option, it's not competitive, but you can do well at a more casual FNM.

Ok, gonna try to work on a deck as a challenge, but do you guys have any tips for good cheap decks within the price range that I could take to an FNM. Preferably one that is better than my current deck which heavily resembles this with a couple of slight modifications.
