Selesnya on Budget
Deck Help forum
Posted on Nov. 21, 2013, 11:48 p.m. by MTGprojectzer0
I'm building a budget deck for standard. In view of the expensive devotion decks due to the expensive creatures and lands, I opt for the budget version. I personally love G/W decks and up till now I've yet to come out a good one on a budget. I think I have a taker here, but I know I'm still lacking in something to complete the build. Pls throw in any suggestions you have for the deck but I want to keep it on a budget. Thanks!

I think W/G hexproof/heroic enchantments is a better budget bet, but just my opinion.
Basically Gladecover Scout + Yoked Ox + Ethereal Armor + Selesnya Charm + Unflinching Courage + Chosen by Heliod , Gods Willing , etc.
Sorry for not having a more helpful comment. :/ Meh.

With so many big creatures you can't rely 100% on getting your ramp spells. You're going to want to ensure that you hit a good % of your early land drops. I think another 2 lands would not be a bad inclusion.
Fog is not a very good card. It only wins in a very slim circumstance, otherwise you trade a card without having any effect on the board. This only perpetuates the issue without solving it, it's almost always better to be running a card that's going to trade with their cards instead - like a removal spell or a creature to block with.
One of the biggest problems ramp decks have is what do if when you play all your ramp and say your big threat gets killed - leaving you top decking. You want some cards that can refill your hand. Garruk, Caller of Beasts would be best, but kind of expensive. Garruk's Horde might be a cheaper option. And also if you have those Angel of Serenity , you can always target creatures in your graveyard to get them back if they every kill it.
Given how much green you have, you may even want to consider some of the devotion cards. Nylea's Disciple , Karametra's Acolyte and some of the rares.
