No Wildcards? Build THESE Instead | MTG Arena | Budget Deck Compilation

[@1who4me]

CC, you’re doing so much work for the budget players, thank you so much!

[@casualrob]

Thank you, I appreciate you always tuning in!

[@oakwarden4190]

Thank you so much for this video. It's a boon for newer players who don't have the collection that some vets do.

[@cdk4113]

Hey just started standard I'm running the budget defender deck it's fun. One thing (and don't mean to encroach not even a week in but I play some commander irl) one change I made was taking one lay down arms for the legendary in the starting black white deck she doubles triggered abilities for anything power under 2 (Chaplain counts). No wild card and I just had a round where I had over 40 creatures on the board with 6 mana used over the turns.

[@selfactualizer2099]

i have never used decklists, i do look up synergistic cards though but only started that recently, before i was just scouring card databases. my advice is build everything you play from scratch. this did a better job of teaching me a lot of "whys" and learning allllll the cards

[@MrMainolfs92]

awesome video, i hope you do a new one for the new standard rotation

[@bwloawesome]

Great content. But please, change how you're doing your voice overs. The VO track is just on the edge of clipping the entirety of the video.

[@eduardoracciatti2108]

Hello, 1:14, both effects affect the same layer so the last one entering the battlefield aplies. What rank are you playing?

[@AJZesty]

Such a great and helpful video. Thank you so much!

[@JordanCarlisle]

I love the UW Defenders deck. I have roughly a 60% win rate with it on Arena's best of 1 Standard Ranked games. Does anyone have any good suggestions for how I can upgrade this deck? I've thought about adding Surge Engine. I'm also not sure if I should stick to 60 cards or use more cards. I'm also curious if anyone has experience using any of these decks in more competitive events with rewards.

[@casualrob]

Hey Jordan, I think we may have studied abroad together in Shanghai back in 2011. Pretty sure that's where I recognize you from. Hope you're doing well.

[@JordanCarlisle]

Holy smokes!!!! We did. I thought you looked familiar.

[@conanflynn8621]

This is super helpful for me as a new player. Do you have a discord channel that goes over these topics? I’d love a chance to pick your brain

[@casualrob]

Not yet, definitely a good idea to consider, glad you're enjoying the videos

[@karlolson1871]

18:42 I know you're reanimating here, but it seems wise to just discard the basic land here and save the mangler to play from hand at a later turn since you have 8 mana. You could have even played it the following turn to make him sacrifice the heavy.

[@karlolson1871]

OH, I also like the decks!

[@meatball1327]

I reached platinum 3 mostly thanks to your budget decks

[@christianmoreno1806]

Hi ! im start playing and love the U tempo deck, wich sideboard do u recommend me ? i saw the deck page and dont see one, and what i can improve in the deck!? thx a lot!

[@casualrob]

I don't usually bother with sideboards, I play best of 1 for the most part. For the Mono U deck, swapping the 4 Delvers for 4 Haughty Djinns is an easy change

[@cre8vedesign]

why do some of these not appear in my search feature, for example DUSK MANGLER. I can't find him nor can I craft him. What causes that?

[@seedubxj]

You need to sort the cards by "uncollected" and also format, Standard, Alchemy, Historic. Not all cards show up in all formats. Only the formats in which they are legal.

[@sraeoz]

I love the Reanimate deck. TYSM! I have rare wildcards are there any upgrades you would recommend for this one?

[@casualrob]

I would play 1 or 2 Atraxa, Grand Unifier as a really high-end reanimation target, and Virtue of Persistence should slot right in as well. Glad you're having fun with it!

[@TheAoTwine]

That Defender deck, what would be some solid up grades to it? I love the play style and I’m not much of a deck builder, I’m learning through you guys

[@casualrob]

I usually advise against upgrading decks like these tbh, I personally like to save them up until I have enough to cash them in for a deck I'm interested in. This would be a good one to save up for if you like the control play style: mtgtop8.com/event?e=56064&d=617648&f=ST

[@pointyheadYT]

Can never go wrong with blue tempo.

[@hiromiuemura9726]

Which format are you playing on? Alchemy?

[@casualrob]

Best of 1 Standard

[@brau3690]

what rares would you add to this deck

[@AFel-pp1hp]

"NO RARES!..." ... "For this deck, you'll need the following rares..."

[@Rafaelsilva-bc9yv]

Obrigado !! Thanks

[@GabrielNguyen-k1f]

anvil kinda sucks but the aggro tempo and boros humans was good

[@toversnoleu8769]

No rares is not budget imo. if you only have commons and uncommons. its actually harder to get than if you have 4 rares and 4 mythics in there. since you get about 1-2 rares a week. due to opening packs by doing the daily quests using the starter decks in the starter deck event. Currently I'm struggling more with collecting uncommons than I struggle with rares in my decks.

[@alexanderficken9354]

just keep playing if you dont have the things you need. playing in events once you are better or to get better is a good way to fasttrack your skills, and then once you start winning them, you'll get a lot of packs

[@ToastedMarshmeowllow]

Man, this game is complex... jeez.

[@jacksonwrench6848]

Not at all

[@ToastedMarshmeowllow]

@@jacksonwrench6848 Definately. With a card pool ranging over 20k+ cards, a ton of card mechanics, a ton of different formats; I'd say it definately is complex. This isn't Marvel Snap, it's definately complex with a steep learning curve. But it's good, I really like it and I'm enjoying it. I'm only Platinum rank but I just started about 3 weeks ago. It's most definately complex and I'm sure most people would agree, even veterans I'm sure would recognize that this game boasts a high hill to climb before you can comfortably say that you know your shit when it comes to this game.

[@Drawfill]

it looks complex. it really isnt. it really grows on you as you play.

[@samuel9294]

@@jacksonwrench6848 yes, thats why its called the most complex card game in the world.

[@Mana_Thief]

ayoo lmao

[@NetherVoiD]

Waste of money it is not your skill that wins you game. It is the the system that lets you win It is very rigged.
