Budget MTG Decks
All magic fun, all cards under a dollar
We here at Budget MTG Decks love playing constructed Magic: the Gathering! Whether it’s EDH / Commander, standard or modern, duel or multiplayer, we can’t get enough of it.
Our vision of MTG is a game which encourages strategic thinking, social interaction and above all…fun! To make this accessible to everyone we decided to lower the two largest barriers which people encounter with this game:
1: Cost of building a Magic deck.
2: Complexity of building a Magic deck.
Our mission at Budget MTG Decks is to provide full deck tech videos describing ready to play EDH / Commander and duel decks. With in depth commentary on each card and overall play style. To make sure the decks are truly budget we have limited the price of all our cards to under a dollar (with exception of the commanders). Now everyone can join the Magic: the Gathering fun!

[@everchanger23]

btw for anyone watching this, right now you CAN have multiple planeswalkers of the same type on the battlefield as long as they don't share the same name, I forget when they changed it.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

That's true!

[@MrMrdeath123]

Oh thank you. I'm just getting into this game and have 2 plainswalkers of different types.

[@ChristheShrinerdawg]

I’m trying to get back into and built my first ever green deck today. I added 3 different planeswalkers into my deck.

[@jayamilapersson4030]

can you have 2 plainswalkers that isint of the same colour or name in a standard deck? and can you have them on your battlefield at the same time?

[@HugoSan432]

I think a video explaining these new rules and changes would be better than a comment

[@neojng]

this viedo was perfect, I've had two friends try to explain planeswalkers to me and I still had no idea how they worked, got my first planeswalker in a pack yesterday so I'm gonna try it out in a deck! thanks again!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks for letting us know +neojng! Just remember that there are still loads of exceptions to these rules so once you have a few games in with them be sure to look up the extended rules online ;).

[@hectorcobos3368]

Thank you, I was like.....how the hell does this card work? Lol, great explanation. Very helpful.

[@LongHairedTeen]

Useful tool for teaching, but I think it might be better to use different images for +1/+1 counters and loyalty counters as it may confuse newer players. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks OdeToBlue! We think you make a valid point ;).

[@avaskidsgaming7146]

I am new and had no trouble understanding. I confirmed what I learned with others

[@nathanielmontez3656]

David.....your videos are so awesome! Your style how you explain things is so on point! I just staryed playing and this video was the only thing I've seen (online) that explains how Plainswalkers work! Not even the Magic website explains,(that ive seen so far) just EXACTLY how to play a PW. THANK YOU!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Hi Nathaniel! Thanks for letting us know you liked the video, we really appreciate your positive feedback! - David

[@Q00laid]

THANK YOU! I'm finally picking up magic again after many many years, and had no idea how Planeswalkers worked. People have tried explaining it to me, but I just didn't get it. Now I do!

[@1averageamerican]

Just getting back into MTG after a 15 year layoff. My kids love playing. Helpful video. Thanks.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Welcome back! No one ever completely quits magic ;).

[@williamwood2037]

Great video!!!I spent like an hour trying to find a video explaining planeswalkers but this one was by far the best!!!!

[@sonny5068]

This was exactly what I was looking for. Just picked up the guilds of ravnica planeswalker deck and this clarified a lot. Thanks!!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Hope you have a lot of fun with your new deck!

[@stephenjones3630]

I'm just getting back into MTG. I quit during the introduction of Plainswalkers, so I have no idea what they are or how to use them. Great video. Straight to the point.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks +Original Beard, hope it serves you well ;).

[@darthradbad3131]

Thanks! I just watched the tutorial series from you and it helped me out alot and I found some things I was doing incorrectly. My buddies and I are gonna play some Magic The Gathering tomorrow at school lunch and I wanted to double check on my knowledge of Magic. Thanks! ^-^ :)

[@bossfocus01]

Thank for the awesome walk though I very new to the game, I've watched all and I understand it thanks again

[@timmothyheroux]

Quality video, as always.

[@yourmothercalledshesaid]

I just completed this tutorial. I haven't played Magic the Gathering since...jeez...1999...maybe? After watching these videos, I can say that I feel very confident jumping into a casual game now. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce clear and concise videos. I look forward to further uploads.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Glad we could be of help +Brandon Bauer! A lot has changed since 1999 indeed, but once a magic player...always a magic player ;).

[@sawomirwojtas7428]

this channel are the best tutorials on magic, thanks a lot!

[@janicecox489]

Thanks for these videos. I've been away from the game for a long time and they've been a great refresher.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

That's what they are here for. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask ;).

[@olivermanojlovic6041]

Thank you for this great series of videos, really helped me understand the basics on how to play.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks for the kind words! If you have any questions don't hessitate to ask ;).

[@jay_cadiramen]

Fantastic tutorial and explanation!

[@hwdsona]

Thank you! This helped a lot!

[@LordMerji]

Super great playlist, really helped me out. Glad to know more episodes are coming. One question though, for the +1 ability to get +1/+1, is that limited to only one time per turn?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Correct you can only activate planeswalkers' abilities once per turn and only during your turn. However you may activate the ability on the turn the planeswalker comes in.

[@flamingfirefox7456]

Thanks for the great guide!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks for the great explanations!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Aw shucks! Thanks James :) ^David

[@jlankford]

Thanks that helps a lot!

[@MB-uu3mu]

Great series. As a newbie, I had 1000 questions. After watching all 9 (and looking forward to 10th +), now only have 500! :) Looking for some 'intermediate' videos along the same great caliber as yours. Many of the advanced abilities along with some verbiage on cards can be confusing. Thanks, keep up the great work!!!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks for letting us know Michael, we will be continuing this series shortly as we have gotten numerous requests. If you have any burning questions just ask them here in the comments section and we will do our best to answer them.

[@alextegmark1678]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Our pleasure Alex Tegmark!

[@EmirSaqr]

Where is number 10 this series have been helping me a lot it would be a waste to stop please continue

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

We will continue ;).

[@dragonballtalk8527]

Best planewalker tutorial out

[@XxXimewstarXxX]

only video that helped me understand thank you

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Happy to hear that!

[@AnnoyingLion]

Hey, you helped me out SO much :D I watched all 9 videos in a day. I love Magic!! I was just wondering, when is episode 10 coming out? I know you probably got loads of comments about episode 10, but it would help so much ;) Anyway, thanks again for the clear and easy-to-understand videos :D

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Glad you enjoyed these! Yeah we have to get around to episode 10! Don't worry we haven't forgotten ;).

[@AnnoyingLion]

Thank You!! :D

[@hatchellfamily9678]

Thank you so much

[@austinyu5922]

Could you do more in depth videos? I'm brand new and these videos are really helpful. It's such a deep game it hard to play random people when I only know the basics.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

We will, however this week we are going to be focusing mostly on reviewing the new set 'Eldritch Moon'. Hang in there ;).

[@charliebu5498]

Awesome, thanks

[@MrEviWan]

Thank you very much. These videos cleared up a lot of questions i had being new to MTG. Can you make a turorial for Commander? I was resently told that Commander would be a very difficult way to learn but i really enjoy watching the videos on The Command Zone-Game Knights.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

No problem Christopher! Glad you found it useful. If you already have a commander deck (check out our deck tech videos) it's really quite easy to play commander. You can check out the rules here: mtgcommander.com/rules.php

[@Jam-3548]

thanks for all your help

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

No need to thank us +Jammy James, our pleasure :)

best how-to-play-mtg videos ever

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks!

[@reubenbotha9768]

Omg such a good vid. :)

[@flipflop8989]

Hi great videos I’ve watched the other 7 before this. Is their only 1 plainswalker per deck Or can use multiple ones as long as they aren’t the same kind

[@jstsmslovenc92]

Tnx, great tutorial. I love the "outro song" it's so cool. :)

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks a lot! We love it too!

[@MrChrisKnight]

Thank you just getting back into magic.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Welcome back...and let us know if you have any additional questions.

[@avaskidsgaming7146]

Great job easy explanation

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks for the complement!

[@GreaseF1re]

Very helpful

[@kenneth9249]

Ok that makes a lot of sense now. New to MTG and I wanted to figure this out. Still not sure how the damaging planeswalkers work. Some can attack some can't?

[@bastienclarke1810]

Thanks!

[@redeoghan]

I fluffing loved this.

[@Nauct]

Thanks :)

[@CMDR_Scorpion]

Did part 10 ever get made? also would part 11 be "Priority" :) Great little series for beginners.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Not yet, it got pushed back but it's still on the to-do list ;). Thanks for the suggestion!

[@redbird97]

Thanks much. This cleared up a lot.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Happy to hear that Hugh!

[@redbird97]

I'm fairly new and while I liked Planeswalkers, I couldn't quite figure out how to use them correctly. Also, was it here or another program that if you have 2 Planeswalkers with the same name, one of them has to be sacrificed? Now does that mean same card or same name, like Gideon of the Trials, and Gideon Ally of whatever couldn't be on the field at the same time?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

704.5j If a player controls two or more planeswalkers that share a planeswalker type, that player chooses one of them, and the rest are put into their owners’ graveyards. This is called the “planeswalker uniqueness rule.”

[@redbird97]

But if they have different names, i.e. Gideon and Chandra, you can have them both on the field at the same time?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Actually they just changed these rules a few days ago. Now for example you can have multiple Gideon planeswalkers on the table as long as they have different names.

[@Morticianeatyou]

Thank you very much, it helped me a lot, watched all parts, its missing part 10 cant find it

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Glad you liked it +does matter. Unfortunately part 10 has yet to be filmed.

[@tonypower9315]

Great video thanks iam new to this game and it was very helpfull. However I do have one question? How do you activate the ultimate as the planeswalker enters with only 4+1 counters. I will never have 7 to take off! Haha sorry you need another video? Help!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Each turn you can activate one of the planeswalkers powers which will add counters equal to the number depicted on the left hand side.

[@jasonwarbird]

my son just got me into magic, thanks for this

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

We love it when Magic brings a family closer. Let us know if you have anymore questions.

[@Hey_Im_Cable]

Thanks for this. today I pulled my first planeswalker and didn’t know how to use it by the way I only started about 4 dayz ago

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Congratulations! Well good luck learning this awesome game. Let us know if you have any questions ;).

[@Hey_Im_Cable]

Budget MTG Decks thanks what I would like to know is what is the X on some cards ya know how it has X on it what does that mean

[@siddiqali1679]

thank you

[@kam3062]

Thanks for the vid. Quick question though... Let's say you have a planeswalker with 8 loyalty and want to use an ability costing 7. It's on the stack (I assume) and then your opponent bolts him, reducing his loyalty to 5. Is it possible? Does that prevent him from using his ability? Do you lose his action for the turn?

[@brianhoffman42]

Thank you so much. I tried to find the videos "how to use a planeswalker.". You explained it so clearly and slowly plus showed me. But I do have 2 question, I understand you can't play the same planeswalker but can you have the same planeswalker in your library for a better chance of drawing it? Also can I play two different planeswalker or one at a time?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

You may have 4 copies of the same planeswalker in your library as with any card in constructed. You can also have as many different types of planeswalkers as you like on the battlefield or in your deck for that matter.

[@brianhoffman42]

Budget MTG Decks: cool thank you so much. You helped me a lot.

[@HistoricalConflict]

sooo during your turn you can cast spells etc and play creatures and ALSO put a loyalty counter on the planeswalker?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Yes, during one of you two main phases you can indeed do those things.

[@romancedemise]

Thank you

[@blaze556922]

Thanks for the tips! I am assuming that a raise dead can not effect planewalkers as you stated they are not creatures. But, are there spells that bring back planes walkers from the graveyard to your hand? Or better yet, to play?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Yeah plenty. Just look for the term "Permanent" such as in Creeping Renaissance, or better yet Emeria Shepherd which can return the planeswalker to the battlefield.

[@MoustacheMage99]

Hi! Thanks so much for the tutorial! As someone who plays Pokémon and yugioh all the time, the rules seem quite similar, almost like a perfect blend between the two and I'll hopefully buy a starter deck soon so I can play :) Unfortunately I'm in the UK and I'm not sure where a good place to buy a starter deck would be, where would you recommend?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Welcome aboard! Unfortunately we are not in the UK so we can't recommend any shop in particular. We suggest you just have a look at a local game shop and just drop by ;).

[@faeriehearthwitch6185]

I love this series so much, but cannot find #10, The Stack. Any links to it? These have been incredibly helpful and I wish you would continue with how to create crews and play vehicles! I would also love some stuff on playing Commander! Any advice or instruction would be awesome!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Thanks for letting us know! We haven't actually made episode 10 :(. It has been on the list for a long time but we haven't gotten around to it. We will try in the near future!

[@faeriehearthwitch6185]

I have one more question for you! For the Planeswalker's third ability, you need 8 loyalty counters. How do I get it up that high? By using the first ability over and over again until it gets up to 8 or more?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Correct, so this may take a few turns as you can only activate a planeswalkers ability once per turn.

[@faeriehearthwitch6185]

Exactly! Hey! I am getting the hang of this game! Yay! :)

[@HoangNguyen-im4rd]

Hey there im new to the game. I’ve seen planewalker card with the first skill 0 . In that case how do the card gain loyalty?

[@austindarling9595]

I have dumb question I haven't been able to find so if your opponent has a planeswalker and you declare attackers on the Planeswalker ( and you got a flying creature) can your opponent block if they don't have flying or reach

[@stephan6486]

Thanks for the great tutorial's. We learned a lot I know it's been 4 years but can i still buy that Mythic Planeswalker for under a dollar?? :p

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Actually there have never been planeswalkers fur under a $1 until recently with the uncommon versions. We suggestion you have a look at those instead ;).

[@jkpaschal]

So loyalty points persist through turns correct? Meaning if I end a turn with 5 even though my PW has 4 initially I start the next turn with 5? Like loyalty points stay where they are at unlike, for example a creature that blocked and lost a point but then heals at end of turn. Sorry if that’s confusing

[@isik1987]

If the planewalker dies , does the stacks he put on Glory seeker go away after second turn or is it permanent? Also can you stack +1/+1 on one target creature multiple times? Thanks

[@dankcrablegs2633]

i used to play back in the mid 90s....can you go over some of the newer terminology haste, reach, vigilance. double strike, life link etc...

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

I recommend you watch part 1 to 9 in order. These static abilities will be explained in the videos ;).

[@algomon2710]

can you have 2 of the same character cards in the battlefield but one is planewalker and other regular creature? example: Karn as Planewalker and Karn silver golem from Urza's saga set, thanks

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

They need to have the exact same name at the top of the card to be affected by the Legendary rule. So in your example both can exist on the battlefield at the same time.

[@Sami8s]

I want to thank you for most of the preperations for my first match against my friends :) Unless I lose, then I'll blame you >:3

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

So how did you do? Do we bask in your collective glory or must we scurry away with our tails between our legs? :P

[@Sami8s]

Budget MTG Decks Tail between our legs ;( Not really though it was amazing :D I might've lost by 3 HP The last person besides me (we played commander) survived my burst with 3 hp sadly, and I would've gotten him if I didn't do a minor missplay a few turns earlier. But I don't really mind, it was really amazing and I love the game :D But I blame you for my missplay with killing the infinite bounce 2/2 over the infinite imunity 1/1 My friend had some cool combo with a card that morphed into any card on the battlefield. Totaly your fault >;D (Seriously though thanks for the guides

[@chexmix0101]

Wondering does the defender get to choose if planes walker will block or let the attack go through and deal 2 damage? And videos have been really helpful!

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

The attacker chooses if the creature attacks the player or the planeswalker. The defender can choose to block the attacker with one or more of their creatures regardless if the target is a player or planeswalker.

[@mcea0006]

I was wondering why the player just didn't take the hit to their life points, but it sounds like this is the attackers choice?

[@Dan-mf4eq]

I had a quick question. I know that when a card deals damage to target player it can be redirected to a planeswalker, but do you have to declare you are redirecting the damage right away or just before damage is dealt. Also, if you can direct it at the very end can your opponent react? Does it go on the stack?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

You have to declare it right away.

[@bernardinoramos7926]

im new to mtg and my one question is to use a planeswalker ability i need to cast a sorcery spell right. does that literally mean a sorcery type spell as written on the card or a " socery "type" of spell? its the only thing im literally confused about. i can really use anyones knowlegede on planeswalkers please and thanks.

[@crazykiller5278]

im a beginner so these videos are very helpful

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Glad you find them useful +giantslayer527. Just ask us any questions if you need help.

[@Dominewyorican]

I want to start off by saying that all these videos were incredibly helpful for my son and I when we started playing MTG last month. I still have these videos saved so that I can go back when I forget something. One confusion I have is that someone recently told me the "one type" plainswalker rule is no longer in effect? They pointed me to rule 306.4. While it says they don't suffer that same rule, it does talk about the legendary rule which feels like it's basically the same thing. Could you possibly clear this up for me? Again many thanks for all of these helpful videos.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Hi Juan! Happy to hear that you found these useful! Here is a short explanation which should clear up the change: With the introduction of the planeswalker card type during the Lorwyn block the following rule was introduced:704.5j If a player controls two or more planeswalkers that share a planeswalker type, that player chooses one of them, and the rest are put into their owners’ graveyards. This is called the “planeswalker uniqueness rule.”Planeswalker type essentially means “character”. The character of Jace is a planeswalker type, as is Gideon, Nissa, Liliana, etc. Any Jace could coexist with any planeswalker who isn’t Jace, but if you had a Jace Beleren on the battlefield and you cast Jace, the Mind Sculptor you couldn’t keep both should the second spell resolve. You needed to pick and destroy one of the two Jaces.That rule has been deprecated. By making all planeswalkers legendary permanents the legendary rule applies to them instead of the now defunct “planeswalker uniqueness rule”. From the Comprehensive Rules (Commander 2017 (August 25, 2017))704.5k If a player controls two or more legendary permanents with the same name, that player chooses one of them, and the rest are put into their owners’ graveyards. This is called the “legend rule.”With this rule change Jace Beleren and Jace, the Mind Sculptor can both coexist simultaneously on the battlefield under your control since they have different names.

[@Dominewyorican]

Thanks for the explanation!!! So the limit looks to have moved from same type to same name. My son will be excited since we started out with Jace/Huatli decks against each other and have found other planeswalker cards as well. Keep up the great work and thanks again!

[@MrShika23]

thanks for the vid, this helps me a lot. Question. Which MTG product should I buy in order to start playing magic?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Duel Decks from Wizards of the Coast are a great beginning. It comes with 2 complete decks which are balanced to play against each other. That way you and a friend can learn together ;).

[@MrShika23]

Budget MTG Decks Thanks for the suggestion:) Which duel deck would you recommend?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

They are all about the same, just have a look which us currently in print (usually the cheapest).

[@jeremiahbachmann3901]

I went to my local game shop, as I am also new to Magic, and I was able to get a free Starter Deck. Many shops are given simple 60 card decks by Wizard's of the Coast to get new players into the game so we spend (possibly) hundreds of dollars in the near future on cards.

[@MrShika23]

Jeremiah Bachmann that's great suggestion, but since I'm from an asian country, we don't really have stores that gives Starter decks for free

[@tonypower9315]

Sorry earlier comment I would need to remove 8 counters to activate his ultimate. How do we add counters to a plain walker.

[@brandonplays702]

4:09 plz explain further So if an opponent casts that at me(the player), I can have my planeswalker block it is what you are saying?

[@Nylon_and_Gut-MatteoLaurenzi]

thx:)

[@sethchapman1425]

Except green player plays Fog. ;) lol. Very good video.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Hehe that would a pretty funny twist ;)

[@prowrestlingpsycho1452]

+Budget MTG Decks how do I watch part 10?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Well at the moment that's impossible as it hasn't been filmed yet. We are afraid it will still take a while for that episode to come out. Sorry :/

[@TheOpeeGamer]

NICE

[@MrHeavymetalmania]

Thanks for the tutorial. Pretty much got my post rotation standard Big Red deck made and added 2 Chandra in it and never actually got a chance to use a walker even though I knew how the abilities worked just not combat.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Ah that's a shame +MrHeavymetalmaniaur, hope you get to use them in your next deck!

[@MrHeavymetalmania]

Yeah man I quit playing T2 right before Walkers and soon after that I quit playing and just got back into the game after 10 years.

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Nobody quits playing magic +MrHeavymetalmania. They just take extended breaks ;)

[@MrHeavymetalmania]

You got that right man wish I had kept my cards though. By today's standard i'd have probably around $12-$15k worth of cards. I am working on a T2 Big Red post rotation deck and would like some input on it though. www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/standard-type-2/deck-creation-standard/675521-big-red-machine-post-rotation-big-red-variant

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

That's a shame, but at least you are back in the game. We would love to help out but Standard is not really our strength.

[@anothrwintr8313]

Yes but HOW do loyalty counters accumulate, and do they replenish after every turn? Thank you!

[@Fridtjuv]

Can a player choose to attack their opponent or choose to attack their opponent's planeswalker? If the opponent can't block the attack then the damage goes to the planeswalker and not to its owner? Or if a player casts a spell on an opponent then that player can just say that their planeswalker takes the damage? So you can basically make a planeswalker that soaks up all damage?

[@visiblygnomed177]

You said that you can only use one plainswalker ability per turn but can you use them during an opponent's turn like an instant or only during your turn?

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

They are sorcery speed so you can only use them in your turn.

[@xXDani6540Xx]

Just a question: Am I allowed to have 2 planeswalkers of different types on the battlefield at the same time? (so for example 1 Ashiok and 1 Elspeth)

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

Yes you can! You can have as many as you like ;).

[@JohnyAndrew]

Can I have more than two plainswalker a in a commander deck ? Also what are the emblems used for ???

[@BudgetMTGDecks]

You can have 4 of any planeswalker in your deck. You can only have 1 of any planeswalker TYPE on the battlefield at any given time though.
