Powerful Budget Commander Cards for $1 or Less | Budget Bombs

[@user-fd2co5xr7k]

Out of all of the videos that you guys make, i think budget bombs is the series that most makes me excited to play magic! It’s so cool that I could just go out and buy any of these cards without having a second thought about the price. $1 and under is perfect! Thanks guys! P.s. i also love that you guys cover the essentials, like ramp and dual lands. I don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to build a non green deck with a high cmc commander, and not done so, because I couldn’t afford good mana rocks and duals

[@NitpickingNerds]

Glad to that you enjoy the content 😊

[@gottgegenalle]

This dollar of mine glows with an awesome power! Its loud roar tells me to buy you!

[@NitpickingNerds]

Dollars have never been stronger

[@macanerodeldesierto]

Shishou!

[@williamdickey1828]

KYOJIIIII!!!!!

[@phenomonkaya4378]

I never got a chance to watch your videos, but apologies for the news. I'm so sorry, loosing someone so important must be heartbreaking. Best wishes for you

[@ettinsmoortradingco.5592]

Taken from rules clarification for volcanic torrent: “For example, say the first spell you cast in a turn has cascade and that cascade ability causes you to cast Volcanic Torrent. Then Volcanic Torrent’s cascade ability causes you to cast another spell. When Volcanic Torrent resolves, X will be 3.” What a house this card is.

[@StiV2500]

Rest in peace Joe Cherries, I'm really sorry to hear what happened! Inspiration to us all, you were the best brother

[@emerson685]

I love all of these cards! It's amazing hoe much better a deck can be with just efficient, synergistic uncommons and bulk-rares. Sometimes people just get too hyped for overly-expensive cards when these can really improve the strength of your deck for forty dollars less. Great video as always!

[@jetcell4517]

I’ve loved the 2 mana colorless rocks in my Ghoulcaller Gisa deck since I’ve seen your Vilis deck, and they perform outstandingly. I’m waiting for the day my Fractured Powerstone can roll the die when someone brings Planechase one week.

[@NitpickingNerds]

You will seem SO COOL when that happens

[@slimyfister]

Proxy the planechase cards since they're publicly available

[@Dark-Pikachu1]

Hi Pokémon friend :)

[@wrayfinlay8104]

Planechase commander is awesome

[@Skrotislol]

Might be worth mentioning "Into the North" when talking about snow lands and budget cards. Getting a non-basic snow dual into play for just 2 mana is a great 99 cent ramp option.

[@NitpickingNerds]

Yes, essentially a farseek and better rampant growth! 👍🏻

[@aaronmiller1009]

Every time you mention the gameplay series my excitement grows, I’m so incredibly pumped to see what you guys put together

[@cleavlandstemer6011]

rest in peace joe cherries, prayers to beezy and the family :(

[@SvviftDeath]

Poison-Tip Archer is so underrated. I love the card and that Reach is so much more relevant then it seems too. I once stalled an Atraxa deck with it because they didn't have the removal for it and didn't want to attack into it since I was also reanimator. It allowed me time to get mana for Prossh and close the game by sac'ing the tokens.

[@SSolemn]

Diluvian Primordial on my Volo deck 💜✨ Reconnaissance Mission, Duelist's Heritage and Perplexing Test are amazing too, love budget but efective cards.

[@zackdeyarmin7836]

They named a town after Joe Cherries passed, a small town called Cherry Tree

[@kylecurness2414]

You guys are really starting to come off more comfortable and relaxed on camera and its great to watch. Keep up the high quality content!

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

-Elspeth conquers death is what I call a slow punch card, you see it there it takes some time to reach it's full potential, you have time to deal with it. -Will the real Grave Titan please stand up? Sepulchral Primordial stands up -Mogg War Marshal, one of Wort, Boggart Aunties favorite gobbo's -Scavenging Ooze= CLASSIC EDH card -Liquimetal Torque, super underrated. I love turning stuff into an artifact to steal it or get some artifact only benefit -All those Kaldheim common lands are awesome with the land type -Poison-Tip Archer: Watch WOTC make it a rare in a MM-like set, such an awesome card *Kogla is close to a dollar, special shout out to King Kong of the MTG world, a great budget bomb.

[@bastionmain169]

we miss you joe :(

[@lane.2darby.231]

R.I.P Joe Cherry, you'll be missed... :(

[@_Solo_Z]

RIP Joe Cherries :( gone too soon

[@Pacmenace]

Regarding a budget eternal witness I really like timeless witness. Like Tamiyo it's four mana but you get the body and can recur it later for 4/4 and another card.

[@elipetrou9308]

Yeah it’s a great budget option, I obviously prefer the og but still really nice

[@plain6677]

It’s better than EW in token decks actually, since the eternalize makes a token and you usually have tons of mana floating

[@doctorstuff169]

rip joe cherries, we miss you already :(

[@LyraDawnbringer]

Can't believe it :'((((

[@mikemartin9345]

I gotta hand it to you guys. You've been killing it with this daily content. I appreciate you that much more for being brave enough to share your opinion toward the end there. It's mind-boggling how we can all sit here, around 2 years after Covid changed the world and the lives we live, and still have people so fragile they're unwilling to wear a mask. What a stupid %$&^ing hill to die on.

[@caleblarson2640]

Hope all the nerds had a great Thanksgiving!

[@NitpickingNerds]

It was awesome!

[@zackdeyarmin7836]

I really miss Joe Cherry... I hope he rests in peace!

[@plamenlorea6910]

I love how U show the off topic cards now, it's so much easier to follow what U R talking about Keep up the great work 😁

[@LyraDawnbringer]

RIP Joe, Gisa Ghoulcaller would have loved you

[@Gonebutnotfroggotten12]

Hopefully Beezy played a tegrid before he died :(

[@jameskelly2559]

Incredible episode from the Nerds. Almost every card is obscure, cheap and a House. This really helped me out, thanks!

[@burningpapersun1]

I keep telling everyone that angel of ruin is an amazing card and I can't believe it's been so cheap. So many good cards slip through the cracks these days with the amount of product that has been consistently put into rotation.

[@_Solo_Z]

Where were you when Joe Cherries was kill?

[@bastionmain169]

i was at where joe cherry wa kil

[@bastionmain169]

BUDGETBOMBZ

[@joseftollar6213]

Funny story, a friend of mine borrowed my scarab god reanimator deck that runs both diluvian and sepulchral primordials. They had both the scarab god and training grounds out and kept on stealing things from the mimeoplasm players graveyard. At one point the Mimeoplasm player self milled an In Garruk's wake and my friend had the diluvian primordial in the graveyard... that Diluvian primordial was essentially a 2 mana one sided board wipe +.

[@danmorgan7775]

These cards are budget but watching a budget bombs video isn't because I always end up buying more cards! I now realize I was thinking about incarnation technique all wrong. Seems quite strong. Thanks as always for the sage advice.

[@GerazanConZeta]

I would like to congratulate you 2, you have come a long way, I remember you used to argue a lot and talk over each other which made your videos unwatchable, I am happy and proud to see you 2 act way more professionally and positively! Keep the A+ content coming!

[@bobbyfasciano4137]

Thanks for bringing up Cathar Commando and Outland Liberator. Can’t believe how overlooked they were when they were revealed. They are just some of the best budget cards from the last year, going along the lines of Maskwood Vandal. Suddenly Thrashing Brontodon just got a serious upgrade, and no one is talking much about it. (Plus the werewolf has sick alt art!)

[@_Solo_Z]

He came in loving red, but left in white. Rip Joe Cherries

[@LyraDawnbringer]

What a shame :(((( so young

[@arthurhasted]

Yes I’ve been running Incarnation technique in R/B Chainer and it does work! Mill 10 and get your two best creatures and choose the opponent with the least likelihood of getting anything good. It can take you from not doing anything to being the biggest threat.

[@bastionmain169]

beezy how are you holding up? :(

[@ChaseDoggs]

You guys are the best. Started playing magic last summer and have learned so much watching your channel. One day I'll be able to support you guys with more than like buttons and tcg purchases!

[@saboten9621]

I use perplexing test in my Volo deck, glad to see it getting a mention here

[@supermariocoolgamening2225]

RIP Joe Cherries, we lost a real one today :'((((

[@LyraDawnbringer]

I'm so sad :'(

[@quayo90]

Poison tip archer is the GOAT in my Witherbloom Aristocrats deck!

[@KL-ie3dj]

it has whooped my ass at least once. XD

[@quayo90]

@@KL-ie3dj first time I used it with my play group the response was, “Oh that’s for everyone?!” And I got jumped 😅

[@RedRingStudios]

Big fan of Incarnation Technique. Milling Dualcaster Mage is the sweetness as well!

[@magnusberge]

Volcanic Torrent counts itself and the Cascade so its 2 dmg to all creatures you dont controll without casting any other spells that turn. I got this in the Prosper deck as its super easy to cast multiiple spells before with all the treshures and the cascade even makes a new treshure since its cast from exile

[@Dom9606]

Liquimetal torque goes great in my gruul goblins deck, especially when I have trashmaster out, remove whatever I want whenever I want!

[@gilbertgottfried1549]

all my green decks, with splinter. Call out a basic land on mono colored opponent.

[@OliverQuadros]

Pair it with shenanigans for repeated removal

[@zenalias3131]

the snow duals get all my votes! I can't resist when the price stabilized at about a dollar each, and picked up playsets for all 10 of them

[@MrMinger]

I have a rionya deck and it’s the most fun thing in my Arsenal. Extra combats and instants galore. She steals games all on her own

[@Jimmythehead]

My commander cube is in the new dual matte sleeves and I’m literally obsessed

[@n8divers]

Tamyio is hilarious against wheel effects. "Oh I draw 7 from your wheel. Thanks" I am playing cathar commando in my voltron equipment deck, because flash is also equal to haste ;)

[@schrottinator]

I don't know the US prices but Sigil of the Empty Throne costs almost nothing and the amount of angels created by that thing is insane. It's easy for me to create between 5-10 angels on the board with my Siona deck in a single turn.

[@quayo90]

It is a budget bomb, but most Enchantment based decks are not 😅

[@MageRattigan]

I have a budget Tiana, Ships Caretaker political Auras deck and Sigil of the Empty Throne is definitely a wincon or protection. Just so much incremental value.

[@Belena711]

@@quayo90 it's a much better choice to include in a "budget bombs" video than, say, mogg war marshal. 🤨

[@nicholasfrank4070]

I completely forgot about Duelist’s Heritage. That’s going in my Zabaz the Glimmerwasp deck :)

[@patrickboswell4399]

I run incarnation in like three decks. ITS SOO GOOD

[@HienNguyenHMN]

Good list of cards! Didn't know some of these dropped (been meaning to pick some of them up).

[@moonlight2870]

One card that fits this list is fall of the titans. If you manage to cast it for it's surge cost you can actually finish two players. It does wonders for decks with big mana, like neheb the eternal.

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

Reconnaissance Mission is one of my favorite cards. If you want Bident of Thassa in your deck, Recon Mission is basically another copy of that.

[@LouisKing995]

Incarnation technique is so so good, better than ever after imo. And it can be used to annoy an opponent or help one if you want to make friends

[@drakko95]

I still remember using my flash clone to get another Diluvian Primordial. I countered one creature, and exiled another. It saved my hide, and in decks that can abuse it, it's noice.

[@user-fd2co5xr7k]

Angel of the Ruins seems great in a Mayael deck where you need a lot of big creatures in the deck, but don’t want too many in muddying up your hand

[@chrishiggins2651]

Rianya is going to slot RIGHT into my Brudiclad 7 dwarves deck

[@KL-ie3dj]

LOVE my Rionya deck! SO much fun!

[@yavivanov6650]

Always great content, thank you!

[@fiofio601]

I use Perplexing Test + Eternal Witness (and similar creatures) in my Rubinia Soulsinger tokens. Such a sweet interaction

[@daneburke6592]

Totally forgot volcanic torrent existed! Seems great even in non budget. Perfect for my prosper deck! Gonna add it

[@davidchesterton4033]

Also if you're running snow duels you can run Into the North. If you were gunna run rampant growth you can switch it and get duelies

[@angelsepulveda9211]

Yup Rionya is my favorite red mana commander.

[@christophersalvatore1631]

Always love your content. Have you guys thought about dipping your toes into some Modern content? The format is as diverse as it's been in years and if I recall correctly you started as modern players.

[@NitpickingNerds]

We've both played modern since before Mondern Masters but we don't forsee adding modern content to the channel; might come up in some tidbits though!

[@andrewtaylor5883]

Hear me out N.Nerds, here is a short list: -Necrologia (even without R.Tower or Thought Vessel) -Ghostly Pilferer or River Kelpie -Stonecloaker or Dust Elemental *Please give thoughts*

[@therealjeromeo4366]

Incarnation technique is devastating for reanimator strats… Araumi takes it to a whole other level. Graveyard fodder for araumi plus some reanimation in the process? Yes please

[@HomeCookinMTG]

Completely agree on Undead Butler. I also like the primordial picks, awesome cards. For you Budget Combo players out there who want a burst of cards, check out Necrologia. Edit: I also really love liquimetal torque in my chainer deck in combination with Soldevi Adnate.

[@Mecal00]

Man, I could have sworn that Duelist Heritage was like a $10 card. Guess I'll pick it up now :)

Surprised to not see Rite of Harmony here. First thing I thought of when you said you were focusing on recent cheap cards. And you talked about it before.

[@SuchPlaneWeather]

Underlook: 2UB. Look at all in play or in-exile cards target player controls. Choose one of them. You may gain control of it or cast it without paying its mana cost. You lose life equal to its mana value. Also, there's a cute little easter egg in this comment. Lmk if you see it. :)

It's like you guys looked at all my budget decks and snatched all of the cards out of them for this video. Except for the green cards. Green is for Timmies >:)

[@mariesidman7905]

Thats a good take. That being said, build a green deck. I was the same way until last week when I put together a green deck as a joke. It cost 350 bucks, its 1/3 land, 1/3 dorks and ramp and 1/3 extra turn spells and draw abilities. I'll routinely have 10 lands by turn 5 and am taking infinite turns by turn 7. It outperforms all my other decks that are on average 150 bucks more expensive
