“I think the correct move for this deck would be to play Crackling Drake, but that’s just a good card, and that’s boring.” -Cameron Lauder, 2019 Never change Cam, never change

This is as pure magic as exists. These decks would take months to put together in my childhood and would be masterpieces in our group of players.

2:40 “legacy banlist in effect, not that it’ll matter.”- James 55:23 “frantic search-it’s banned in legacy!”- Cameron

Special shout out to the gentlemen at YJ who helped them find all those cards. ❤️

This is literally my favorite LRR thing

This and Beejlander are probably my favorite formats that Friday Night Paper Fight covers.

Everyone Else: "I've got this plan and I'm going to be look for these sets of cards" Adam: "Why does this yeti have a human face?" perfect

This is amazing; Cam: I’m building a graveyard Izzet spell slinging Alex: Golgari graveyard matters James: I’m gunna build mono-red in a fun way to make it fair Adam: How do I play Magic? What is a spell? Who am I? What is $20?

50:08 Cam and Alex’s recreation of the THX intro

Watching Cam's deck trying to pop off kept me on the edge of my seat every game

Graham totally shot and edited this video... the style and music is totally him and so aesthetically pleasing...

The first one is how I found LRR. I was just getting back into Magic and slightly intimidated by 100$+ deck lists. Seeing other people playing with whatever their LGS offered on a budget really encouraged me to do so myself. Wonderful content, really inspiring! Keep up the great work and hopefully my engagement in form of a comment works! :)

I think at this point they should do a run of Card Kingdom buttons that say "I don't know what the button says right now"

I'd love to see this as once a month Friday paper fight

13 hour shift and loadingreadyrun comes through always something to watch

This shows that over the years you guys have become master deck builders, and this may be your finest game play ever on LLR, not to mention the great humor. I also love the filming at the card shop for the opening. Please do more like this, I love it so much and want to see the other LLR guys join in next time.

They need to do this more often, it's so much fun to watch everyone deck-build from scratch.

I was hoping this would return!

I love these 20 dollar deck challenge since the constrains in deck building requires you to be creative

I always love budget deck videos. You get so many strategies and cards you normally never see.

I'm surprised Alex wasn't running any Spider Spawning. This was the perfect deck for it.

YES! Oh man, I've been waiting for such a long time for a sequel.

This is magnificent, I sometimes find that playing MTG is really expensive (in other news, water is wet), and it's such a fresh perspective to see you guys keeping to a strict budget and yet remaining somewhat competetive in your deckbuilding. LOVE IT! C:

At 1:03:55 ish, frantic search interacts with madness the way you want it to, but considering the lack of judges in the room, cam’s call is respectable.

James "why does this artifact-centric set rely so much on artifacts" Turner

9:10 "Do they have any Glimpse the Unthinkable?" Friend, that is an $8 card and you are on a budget 😂

My God Cam's handwriting is beautiful.

I started playing magic recently through a 25 cent card vending machine in my college town and me and my friend have had so much fun building decks from it.

This is the best MTG thing you guys have mad in years, please make this as close to a regular thing

Adam vs Alex was the death's shadow vs burn of this format

This is the greatest LRR content for sure. One small improvement could be to have them choose archetypes or deck ideas from a hat at random and build the best possible version for $20? I feel like that would stop the power balancing issue maybe.

Me: *sees this* Also me: ok, bye sleep

all 4 decks are so much fun! I love these $20 jank streams.

I was rooting for Adam in this one. Mill seems like a pretty bold strategy.

I'm so glad to see this format return! Always a pleasant surprise!

Oh man I love going back to watch these deckbuilding challenges. I wish I could get one going at my local game store! Also the snap of cards hitting the table is so satisfying.

Okay as someone who only got into Magic a little while ago and absolutely LOVES the Undergrowth mechanic, watching Alex play an Undergrowth based deck is a dream come true.

I love this. Also ashiok is a silver bullet in this meta

This just makes me so happy, I loved the last one and Im so glad ya'll are doing it again!

Yeeeeeeeeees! I love the 20$ deck challenge, you always end up playing something weird and fun

ah yes, the four colors of magic.

PLEASE do more if these. They're so much fun!

Aww man, I was rooting for Cam to have a Circular Logic for that Zenith. Also, oof Adam having a gameplan that helps both his opponents..

"There is no Christmas Commander without Zedruu." - someone, probably

I honestly didn't know who to root for here because all of their decks seemed awesome. I was saddened that my favorite 2 were in the losers bracket, but oh well.

Match 1 Game 2, Adam missing 3 Merfolk Looter activations in a deck with flashback cards drove me crazy.

That yj segment was definitely a Graham Stark joint

Merry christmas! Such a wonderful gift, Thanks LRR

Well after this, I wanna get my friends together and do this too

The first LRR video I saw was the last time you did this, I'm excited for round 2!

I really hope this becomes a more regular occurrence - this format is great!

The sequal can be better than the original LRR taught me that

These challenges are the best vids you do in my opinion, loving it.

Perfect, yes! I love this, cant wait for part three.

Would love to see this budget idea but with commander sometime!

The opening bit in YJ was comfy as heck, I'd watch the gang vent and ponder magic for an hour

I love this idea. Only watched round 1 so far and that matchup was fantastic, can't wait to watch the rest later

Alex's description of mha is spot on "there's a really good... frog... girl? and there's a SUPER yandere vampire chick" yup that's... that's pretty much the plot

The budget deck building streams/videos are fantastic. I hope we get another one on the other side of lock down.

Ngl I hope that this is one of the first things they do when they can go back to in-person games. These are some of my favorite games they do.

"Legacy banlist in effect." "No silver-boardered cards." James, those ARE banned in Legacy.

I LOVE the decks Cam builds for these

I'm super happy you guys did this again!

Those were some really awesome back-and-forth games!

I really wanna build the Delve version of Alex’s deck now

This is the best. Thanks for bringing it back!

Pls, do another one of these, I love this challenge so frickin much

I love this challenge! I would love to see more of it!

this has single handedly become my favorite format to play

I love Cameron's background commentary as others are playing.

Thank you for doing this again! So much fun!

"he's made 4 land drops and you're at 19 you're fine!..... Oh shit nevermind" not a red player but that's great. Also if we're bringing back fan favorites when do we get another judges tower???

Please do more of these. This is the second best Friday Night Paper Fight format behind Beejlander. Also please do more Beejlander

Okay, there's too many things I love here to shout them all out, so instead I'm gonna pick the one I think I won't find in anyone else's comment. The Yellowjacket prerecord video is so incredibly well done. Everyone on camera is well used to being filmed doing things by now, the shots you got were great shoutouts to camera operator, and the editing turned what I can guarantee in real life felt like a jumbled frantic mess into a nice cohesive story at a decently quick pace.

PLEASE DO MORE!!! THIS IS THE BEST SERIES EVER

A. I love these ,I think they're great. B. The YJ sequence was definitely shot by Graham, but it also reminds me a lot of those car videos of like car shows and stuff. Was super slick and loved it.

Im so glad you guys did another one

hopefully we get more of this 20 dollar format soon!

You guys should do a bulk rare draft: each of you go through the bulk rare box at your LGS and pick 45 different rares to buy. Shuffle all the bulk rares together, create packs, and draft. You can also "Binder Bulk Draft" by taking 45 different rares out of each of your personal bulk collection, pool them together and draft. It's a great way to get rid of rares you don't want and can't seem to get rid of.

Adam getting stomped on by Golgari, that's rough... but he knows the clan can be strong... :-P I am impressed that Alex could make such a consistent deck out of 15 Dollars...

Burning Vengeance is such a sweet card and I love that it finally got to be shown off here.

Frantic search with Karoo lands is pretty cute

You can cast the circular logic for its madness cost off frantic search. madness creates a triggered ability that doesn't go on the stack until frantic search is finished resolving

At least Alex appreciates Paul.

I can't believe this doesn't have more views. It's gold Jerry, gold!

Alex using those Slight-Of-Hand skills to fan out his graveyard is excellent. :D

Best series ever.

what a fun, several montages with the beats at YJ

So my LGS doesn’t have nearly as extensive a selection of cards as YJ does, but I’ve built seven or so decks in this style now? It’s incredibly fun playing more casual kinds of magic with friends, especially when it costs barely anything! Great content as always guys, really hope to see more of this!

i love when they do this

Cameron looking directly into the camera at 45:04 made me lose my ass laughing.

This video format and theme is amazinggggggg

13:29 Lets just take a moment to appreciate this beautiful shot

This was extremely enjoyable.

Great watch guys!

I don’t know if it has been said yet but I love how Alex basically made his canlander deck but a little slower.

Deck building challenge - build decks for a tournament where there is a permanent possibility storm on board

At 1:26:00 , Cameron could flashback an instant during his upkeep, let the burning vengeance triggers resolve (4 damage), cast a second instant while the draw is on the stack (8 damage) then do it a third time (over 10 damage). I don't know if the graveyard had enough in it (3 instants) to make it work.

"There was time now" Great reference to the twilight zone by Cameron
