We Played Your Budget Decks At A Real Magic Tournament

You sent us your Modern decks under 100 Euros and we went to a real Modern Tournament here in Berlin to see how well they would do. And the whoever did best got to send the deck to the person who submitted it!

Is burn considered budget?

[@simplegarak]

Hey, question for you or the tournament organizer. Did you guys rig up your camera set up for the tables or did they do that for the tournament? I'm trying to find out what braces are used to hold the cameras in place.

[@jonaskong5737]

I hope you have enough time and resources to do this more often. The idea is awesome

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoyed it :) I put a lot of work into this one and I'm quite proud of it!

[@johntodd7495]

I want more of that

[@forever915ful]

For real it was fun

[@bradcallahan3546]

For the sake of everyone I hope this channel dies

[@bobbyhanson346]

Good job Carl, but I think it's safe to say we were all rooting for Fele! :)

[@CardmarketMagic]

I was as well :) His deck was incredible! But I had to fight for Matthew 😎

[@bobbyhanson346]

@@CardmarketMagic Congratulations to Matthew as well!

[@wmcduff]

Zombie Hunt is one of my favourite decks. Boseiju is a nice add to the land base. Witch's Cottage and man lands are also an option to give you a little more reach.

[@PurePlasma]

Can't believe my deck not only got in to the video, but won! Never expected it to be facing off in an actual modern tournament, but looks like it still put in some work. Loved the style of this video and looking forward to what you guys do next!

[@CardmarketMagic]

Thank you for your awesome decklist! It was so fun to pilot :) we'll be sending it to the address on your account in about a week and I hope you do better than I did with it 😅 I found it really creative

[@tabotastic9241]

Es hat sehr Spaß gemacht gegen dein Deck zu spielen. Als Tribal Fan war ich natürlich hin und weg als ich gemerkt hab, was mir da gegenüber lag. Wäre wirklich daran interessiert eine nicht-budget Version mal gegen meine Fische rennen zu sehen 😎 _________________________ Was incredibly fun to play against your deck. As a tribal player, my heart skipped a beat as i understood what was unfolding infront of me. Would love to see a non-budget version of your wizards run against my fishes 😎

[@KleineKassiopeia]

You're welcome! In Carls win against me the deck looked like a normal prowess deck and I stumbled. So it can definetly be tweaked to be even better performing. Congrats!

[@josetomastorresguerrero2414]

this shows us why many budget decks can't be played competitively, the metagame is full of free interactions. good job as always ❤

[@morsdraconis]

Lavinia and Boromir say F U to all those free interactions - A blue/white control deck on a budget could easily compete - people are just too stuck on trends

[@jonahcalvo1873]

@@morsdraconis lmao the best build of UW is like 900 dollars and still bad

[@MeisterMiso]

Yeah, WotC rly fked Modern.

[@zimoy.701]

The problem is just the lower power level of budget decks in general since you essentially have a smaller card pool to choose from, which has always been the same -- hence why optimized deck are almost never in a budget range. In most spots pictured the opposing interaction could've been not-free and would've worked the same. (Also out of the three decks prowess is the only budget deck aimed for competitiveness hbh; the other two were just kinda meme decks)

[@mrjey3434]

Doing this for pauper brews would be awesome because budget is no problem

[@CardmarketMagic]

My thoughts exactly! If we do this again it would be for pauper :)

[@aprofessionalcitizen9030]

@@CardmarketMagic pioneer also has some pretty competitive brews around 100 euro, just saying! Not quite as strong as pauper though

[@ilsignoredellaluce2234]

​@@aprofessionalcitizen9030actually mono Blue spirits aggro Is around 70€ and it's capable of winning in pioneer, it's even in the meta but not as high as other decks unfortunately (i play It and also Lotus field combo that Is also not that expensive if you cut some things out)

[@joshmartin533]

Gah! I love this budget series... something about Carl's energy always has me in his corner cheering for him! But can we take a second and appreciate the masterpiece of the Treasure Hunt deck?! What a unique and quirky combo!

[@Lordmuhkuh23]

And then, someone is really tryharding enough to hit it with discard + Surgical Extraction, while being at least 1000€ card value in the lead. Wellllllll....

[@smokelingers9857]

@@Lordmuhkuh23 It's a tournament. Why wouldn't they try to win?

[@erikbghhald2578]

All other are going to be like “WTF are they doing? This is kinda dumb but I am scared of something I don’t know yet.”

[@XTimTheEnchanterX]

I love that Carl and co are always willing to try new things, definitely the most creative magic channel going right now.

[@theatog]

I love Carl.

[@moor532]

Holy shit somebody actually sent in Zombie Hunt, what a legend! I was hoping for it when I saw the first few clips of the deck doing nothing and I nearly pissed myself laughing when I saw Fele playing the Treasure Hunt. Would have sent that deck in myself if I didn't already have it :D

[@AudaxMyr]

I had the same thoughts lmao. I love that deck and it makes me happy to see someone in a tournament with it

[@angusblankenstein99]

This deck is brilliant nonsense amongst all the tryharding.

[@muditjohar5323]

This video might not get that many likes, but I seriously hope you give this type of video another chance. I think the reason people don’t like it as much is just that modern is at a stage where this idea doesn’t quite work since the new cards are just so prevelant. I think this format would be way more fun in pioneer or pauper and would love to see it in one of those

[@CardmarketMagic]

Actually it seems to be doing OK :D which is thrilling to me because this was so much fun to make. If it does well, we'll definitely be doing this again at paupergeddon in Rome :)

[@tandyo]

i agree with the state of modern, their game 1 matchup is really boring with all the MM evokes, leyline binding, and orcish bowmaster. I hope they make this continually since a non meta deck is always fun!

[@Pastrytime]

I'm amazed you managed to make footage you captured at a small paper tournament look this good, esp considering you were recording three different matches most of the time! Really well done video, like many commentors have said I'd love to see this again esp for Pauper.

[@ethanheath2537]

I would have never dropped when having an opportunity to play with Thoralf

[@moshimeshowu747]

The editing, voice-over, and format of this video are incredible! Would love to see more of this type of thing in the future :D

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoyed it :) It was truly incredibly fun to make and I hope it's popular because I'd really like to make more!

[@christianwallander2412]

This fast paced editing was very hard to follow for someone that does not know all the cards or the meta so sadly have to disagree. Would have liked this video if it was voice overed but basicly no cuts of the gameplay and the normal cardsmarket zoom in to explain cards.

[@moshimeshowu747]

​@@christianwallander2412I will respectfully disagree

[@pwnagecakes8934]

This just reminds me of the days, of casual budget decks in a tournament are a thing of the past more or less. Even the casual events and FNG, people bring expensive decks with other peoples web decks.

[@CardmarketMagic]

This wasn't an FNM, it was a big quarterly local tournament. The skill level was much higher here. I'm sure we would have performed better with our brews if we went to an FNM, but it's also harder to film and there is more chance that we play against each other :)

[@pwnagecakes8934]

@@CardmarketMagic Yeah! That makes more sense, maybe you should try to organize a FNM? I "meant" to say, just reminds me of when I went to FNM to try a new brew just to run into the same (4) Decks and same cards over and over like you all did. I love your videos!

[@SneoK]

Had a blast - awesome video! Not only seeing those weird brews but also seeing you in a competitive environment is super fun to watch.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I'm happy you enjoyed it :) this was super fun to make and I hope people enjoy it because I'd really like to do this again

[@ralfparakenings2634]

🎉 I think you did a great job. Thank you for playing my deck Thoralf, I bet it wasn't fun losing all day. Congratulations to Matthew for winning the competition! :D And of course cheers to the Zombie Infestation deck and it's submitter!

[@GamerdevilPro]

I think it was a neat deck but it seemed to me that with Fury and friends running rampant rn it's just that much harder to win anything with a budget deck...

[@ralfparakenings2634]

Yeah, that's true. Maybe we can get those budget decks to battle it out in their own tournament one day. 🤔😅

[@CardmarketMagic]

The deck was really fun and I bet it would have done fine in a more budget Meta :) it was just a little weak to all the removal in modern right now

[@Gada101]

I love weird gimmick decks like Fele was playing. It might be fun to have a small tourney with gimmick decks, or one trick pony decks. I had a Standard deck years ago with the first Kamigawa set. It was 5 color Zubera that used Devouring Greed as a finisher. Actually went 3 and 3 with that weird deck.

[@XxKyle318xX]

Please do more of this. It’s so nice to see gameplay of paper magic with budget decks at actual events.

[@ericdobrowski5033]

Another cool and creative video, thanks for all your hard work!!

[@SomeOfTheJuice]

Fele's type of deck is always the most entertaining to me to see people react to. No one ever expects a deck where it's almost entirely lands, and seeing them see all the lands show up before one card hits is really funny.

[@egnaroninja]

From the States, I love how much fun you guys have doing crazy events like this. I love also that you give cards, decks and card markets sway away to your patrons and other MTG tourny peoples. Great channel. Really enjoy the clean fun content

[@jasongray435]

Well done mates. Those were some reaching decks for modern but creative and in the budget.

[@tangeloprime]

Hey Cardmarket! I have a challenge for you. A format me and my friends invented called "Double Commander" The Rules are kind of simple > You have two commanders (which can be any two legendary cards including artifacts and enchantments but excluding lands) > And you have to build the deck in the color of the commanders > The deck is 60 cards with singleton rules excluding basic lands > The starting life is 30 Additional notes Backgrounds are banned and cards with partner and similar mechanics are also banned from the command zone Your deck cannot have a Companion Popular Double Commanders Include some common themes Tribal Commander (Runo Stormkirk and Kenessos) Similar Strategy Commanders (Landfall with Omnath Locus of Creation and Yarok) And aggro(?) (Having a legendary equipment like embercleave and another creature, Yargle and Multani in my friends deck)

[@CardmarketMagic]

This seems fun :)

[@wolfwoodgamer5814]

What a great concept! I've been wanting to make a snappy flame of A-nor deck

[@lugvantrug5967]

One little Thing for the Dimir Ring Match From Carl. Tapping the Ring is the only Cost to the Ability. Putting a Counter happens only on Resolution. Meaning that when Carl tried to Kill Shelly in Response to the Ring tap and his opponent untapped and tapped it in Response with Minamo the Ring should only Draw 2. Then after Shelly dies they draw 3.

[@colinoclock]

Loved this!

Love this series as is. Change nothing! It's interesting to see the decks, win or lose. For me the modern format usually isn't interesting because it seems to be mostly just ModHzn cards, but these brews are really fun and make much more use of the non-rotating cardpool.
