Real quick guys, I understand that $150 is outside of some players budget deck list options. I fully understand that, there are some cheaper competitive decks out there like Zoro and Nami if this is too expensive for you. However, with Gecko Moria being around $500 for the standard list, knocking it down to $150 was about as far down as I could go, while still making sure you get to experience the deck the way it's meant to function. Hopefully a version like this will allow for some of the newer players to at least get to experience what the deck plays like before fully investing (while also not wasting money on the cards that are used in many other decks like Gecko, Perona, and Lucci). And of course, I always recommend you play on the Sim before even spending a Penny, because it's completely free. @2:53 vs Gecko Moria @7:41 vs G Uta @15:00 vs RP Law @19:57 vs RP Law @24:50 vs GY Yamato

You did great! This game is expensive and budget is a relative term

I was just thinking of buying into Moria this afternoon, haha. I tested the standard meta Moria against a friend on the sim, and I really liked the graveyard synergy; reminded me of my beloved Dredge decks from Ravnica block. I was happy to see the "core" of 8 cost Moria, Perona, Cindy, Hogback, and Absalom intact here. And dropping some Navy cards and adding more Thriller Bark characters made it feel more thematic which is a bonus.

Ya, the deck and playstyle is actually a lot of fun and it looks like going into OP07 it's still doing quite well.

I appreciate these budget builds along with the gameplay. This is very helpful! Would you think toy soldier is a good alternative for helmeppo?

[@Vvulfrik]

So the On Play from Helmeppo is what gives him the synergy. While OLTSoldier does have the ability to counter for 2k and can Main: -3c for the turn, it's the ability to use Gecko Moria + Lucci or Absalom with Helmeppo or Tsuru that gives the deck such a strong KO ability. But OLTSoldier definitely is a solid 2k Counter that can help you in other ways if you want to run it in the deck, especially at 10 Don, if you use it to -3c one Character and then use the Gecko + Lucci + Helmeppo combo to KO 2 guys, or 1 big dude.

[@virenstein1152]

Ahhhh, gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for input

[@LV1mage]

Cool list, I play a budget list like this at locals and do decent at my off meta locals

[@bobby7975]

going to try this list with the extra RL's.

[@krimbokills39]

Why even play marines? I do fine without them. All thriller bark baby

[@lloydwang4159]

I’m trying to build one wo marines too, got in too late for the black cards

[@tiagodoresalmeida]

He's only playing 2 cards that are Marines for cost reduction, and they're both under 2 dollars

[@Eighty6TCG]

Hahha I think I was the Uta player Eighty6. New to the game and saw I did do some misplays 😅

[@thousandyeargems4360]

Why are people gonna be playing Eneru leader in 07?

[@Vvulfrik]

He becomes so resilient with all the Life gain options, especially the new 10c Ace coming out.

[@bigarcana5553]

Also what Enel specifically struggles most against is top end, and yellow basically gets a Red Roc by then
