Budget-Friendly Deck Ideas to Dominate the Current Meta | Magic: the Gathering

[@IneptCardCollector]

15:50 Well I'm sold on Esika, God of the Tree, but it's not going for that cheap. Shamanic Rev is really good.

[@brandonherrington7080]

Man I still have that Kenrith the returned King you signed at Command Fest Chicago 2019

[@michaelkruppenbach9387]

Love this video thank you

[@Syncopiia]

I built a Kenrith Zirda cycling deck a long time ago and it's one of my favorites. Definitely worth it to run some cards that let you tap for any color of mana like Chromatic Lantern or The World Tree. Also playtest it a bit so you're not stumbling over yourself and taking super long turns, people will get grumpy.

[@Koltiraa]

Where can I find the complete deck list for each one of these decks?

[@umbertosambusiti2378]

How can you have some permanent card on this deck if Zirda is companion? I see the decklist on description and.. there's the problem. Thanks

[@TheToadster19]

Can you have Jetmir, nexus of reveals (in the provided decklist) in your deck if you have Zirda as a companion? I'm a newbie but I don't think he has activated abilities? Could someone clarify this for me?

[@joshuavickers1604]

jet is a in response to just having the right number of creatures. I have one and i only play him once a night that we get together because of how fast and mean he cane be. (moxfield, QTlarge) for deck list

[@PUDRETE919]

I build Kennrith with only cheap mythics like nothing over 79c and that deck is still a HOUSE, like there is a ramp package that is super budget friendly but not mythic, same goes for the lands as they don't fit the budget restriction, but the rest is all mythics, whole deck comes out at 41€, Kennrith literally is king haha

[@sinicas14]

Do you have a decklist?

[@Tcorellis-j6d]

Kenneith as a 5 color renaimator is also stumper strong BUT is expensive But I’ve dumbed it down to esper reanimator for a focused color pie of a commander

[@grumpyinbrooklyn6347]

I put together a Kenrith/Zirda deck using whatever I had lying around not been used elsewhere. It was dirt cheap and it still still felt so nice to play that I decided the update it a bit (still well under $100 estimated value)!

[@williamrieske3105]

Kenrith leading transformers is silky fun

[@PUDRETE919]

@@sinicas14 It keeps removing my comment in that regard

[@Akivaran]

The hidden Ink-Treader is my absolute go-to when someone wants to flex their Enchantress/Shrine or Jet Mir token deck.

[@heinventer7519]

Hey Mitch, busy with a Zada deck that is toned down from your Nephilim, would you mind sharing your decklist for your Esika/Prismatic Bridge?

[@stefanpedias4511]

Where is the kenrith decklist? Its not linked

[@ThePirateCommander]

I built a prismatic bridge deck for a budget league my LGS was doing and your deck had to be $50 or less. With Prismatic Bridge as the commander i did 98 lands with Cultivator Colossus to win with Mazes end....woopsie.

[@MaleficHysteria]

Grist is the best planeswalker commander since it doesn't have the ruling "can be your commander"

[@thomashull7776]

the Ink-Treader deck is hilarious and i love it

[@smurffy5330]

That deck shouldn’t be played casually 💀🤷🏼‍♂️

[@thomashull7776]

@@smurffy5330 that seems to be a common thread for the decks that look like fun to me =/

[@bryceduyvewaardt8136]

I love companions SO much that I made a Kenrith deck using 3+cmc, odd cmc, no double colour pips and activated abilities-included permanents so I could bring one deck and have different gameplay experiences depending on if I had Kerruga, Obosh, Jegantha, OR Zirda without changing the main deck! Let me know if you want the deck list.

[@runedemon34]

Will you make an updated ink treader list?

[@re2pect470]

I have a Kenrith that’s more of a reanimated deck, there are two more cost reducers that he didn’t mention, one is a blue enchant called training grounds for one mana that reduces by 2 and the second is Agatha of the vile cauldron that reduces by her power so you can pump her for 3 green to a 4/4 and have everything reduced by for from one creature

[@bvisneaujr]

I built a legendary tribe deck, as her as my commander ( named the hero call)

[@Akivaran]

Also, Searing Barb is another want to get a crap load of incubate tokens. Then, Confront the Unknown can get you Clues...so many fun ways to abuse Ink-Trader.

[@MrDanOrlando]

is there an actual deck list for Mitch's Esika, God of the Tree / Ink-Treader deck? I dont see it in the commanders quarters deck lists

[@Goexizzle6]

In his Esika Vid there is a decklist in the description box

[@JustinH-hs7kh]

These commons and uncommons are so synergistic! My favorite thing so great video!

[@IslarfPokemon]

I need a budget kenrith!

[@dudewithnovids12]

I like how you did a Pee Wee Herman impression at the end.

[@AUTERBOY]

This is just what I needed after blowing lots of money on an ur dragon deck. Building on a budget is just so much more fun!

[@Bee-wk7hw]

Ur dragon makes me wanna deathtouch myself

[@xNemesiSxPR]

agree, with money you can buy what everyone is buying and have in the decks. Mana crypt, vault, moxex, sol ring, fiece guardianship, thassa, demonic consultation, underworld (red enchantment that gives escape), force of will, swan song, smothering thithe, rhystic study, mystic remora, dockside and so on and on. like more than 50% of the deck is already staples. borrring, anyone can do that.

[@AUTERBOY]

@@xNemesiSxPR Totally agree. It’s fun finding the budget alternatives that do just as well as their expensive versions.

[@jonathanstyles7824]

what deck is he talking about at the end

[@DemonAbyss10]

Shorikai makes for a pretty mean stax deck. Built in way to pay for effects like smokestack. And it allows you to try and dig for stax pieces. Also one of the best commanders for approach of the second sun and halo fountain if you want them as wincons.

[@rei336]

Wonder is also another great card with shorikai if you wanna smack opponents with it since you can use it's ability to throw it into the bin anyway.

[@scyche]

Do an actual video on “The Meta”. As in actual tournament results. Let’s see how many ‘budget’ decks exist there.

[@WatchListConnoisseur]

Proxy everything.

[@panzu5781]

5 color budget friendly? Have fun playing a terrible mana that will screw you 90% of the times.

[@PUDRETE919]

the Streets of New Capenna fetches, Panoramas, Evo Wilds and Terramorphic make all in all for 12 fetch lands one can add even more with Shire Terrace, Promising Vain, Krosan Verge and Myriad Landscape, lots of basics fetching, spend the few bugs on The World Tree and one has a really consistent mana base rooted in basic lands; also the less colors of WUBRG your commander costs the easier it is to make a budget mana base work

[@cobaltblue8269]

I've built about 3, budget, 5 color decks all with gates haha. I usually don't have much trouble getting colors I need.

[@aeichhor777]

It’s so easy to play 5 mana on budget lands. I do it with Reaper King. I hardly ever have issues

[@Jessereser]

First

[@tylercollins5160]

I’m using one of your recommend decks somewhat from another video but I don’t do budget decks cause I like to win. You have this channel and don’t make enough money for great cards

[@ratherunfortunatelol]

Not sure if you understand the reason he puts these videos out. Not everyone can afford expensive cards. Not being financially well should not prohibit you from playing the game.

[@alexbufmack852]

@@ratherunfortunatelolnot to mention his budget decks are actually surprisingly strong too. Mitch is an omega tier deck builder

[@PUDRETE919]

@@alexbufmack852 it is also more fun to budget brew, as one need to be more resourceful with what one puts in the deck, because playing U doesnt automatically mean Force of Will/Negation, Cyc Rift, Guardianship, Remora and Studies, but needs cards specifically shaped to work with ones commander

[@aeichhor777]

If you can’t win with budget decks, maybe you need to work on deck building.

[@smurffy5330]

@@PUDRETE919ur opinion is subjective and holds no meaning since what if I enjoy playing all the generic blue staples in my blue decks.. they work, there strong, it’s more logical 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🤦🏼‍♂️
