Budget Rhonas
Standard Deck Help forum

I'm building G/R Pummeler but I really just can't afford the 2x Rhonas the Indomitable right now. Does anyone know of a more budget replacement?
This is gonna sound ridiculous, but my partner xAmphion ran 1x Rhonas's Monument in place of a Rhonas (and 1x Uncaged Fury in place of the other) at an FNM and it worked pretty frickin' well. Sacrifices the occasional 5/5 body for a more explosive pump effect and mana discount... turns your topdeck mana dorks into pump spells. We were both surprised that it wasn't terrible.

abby315 Thats an interesting solution, I didn't even think of that. I'd still go Rhonas or bust personally :)

abby315This is a super interesting solution. I think i'll try that and see if it works out.

I might instead just use my Arlinn Kord and Nissa, Vital Force that I just happen to own. (just occurred to me)

I don't know the usual list, but how about Honored Hydra? It costs one more in cheap mode, but also has 1/1 more. If you're playing any Lightning Axe, it could work.

Theres not really any cards that do the same thing in budget as Rhonas. You'll have to look for a completely different card to replace him.
