Ive been trying really hard lately to build cheaper decks. Me and my friends starting having arms races where our decks were getting outrageous! Like $800 minimum just to be able to compete with each other and the decks are SUPER salty. It started to get not fun, real fast. My last 2 decks have been both under $100 and honestly, iam more excited about this new one and the strat I got going for it then any deck ive ever built before!

@MrIronLight 4 жыл бұрын

Some of these suggestions are pricey, but pick and choose to your own means. Generally artifacts are the best options. All the Signets, all the talismans, Mox Diamond, Chrome Mox, Thran Dynamo, Worn Powerstone, Sol Ring, Coldsteel Heart, Darksteel Ingot, Fellwar Stone, Mindstone, Star Compass, Thought Vessel, Coalition Relic, Commander's Sphere, Palladium Myr, Alloy Myr, Extraplanar Lense, Hedron Archive, Ur-Golem's Eye, Sisay's Ring, Gauntlet of Power, Gilded Lotus, Caged Sun, Dreamstone Hedron. I think most of these are good options. Of course there are more, but it's pushing it (I am already on a few of these, but if you are desperate this is what you get). If want to go deeper, you have the banners, obelisks, cluestones, keystones, and lockets. White just has some catch up land draws when behind on lands: - Land Tax - Weathered Wayfarer - Knight of the White Orchid - Kor Cartographer (no land restriction) - Gold Myr - Marble Diamond Blue really on has some rituals for temporary mana bumps, but other than that you have: - Silver Myr - Sky Diamond Black doesn't ramp either but has swamps matter cards that produce a lot of mana (All which work well with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth): - Cabal Coffers - Crypt Ghast - Nirkana Revenant - Leaden Myr - Charcoal Diamond Red has lots of rituals, but those aren't really ramp. It has some that can have narrow uses and some that are universal effects: - Braid of Fire (Only can be used at instant speed during upkeep) - Gauntlet of Might (doubles all mountains) - Mana Flare (doubles everyone's mana) - Iron Myr Tried to keep it under two mana per mana return, unless you get a rainbow mana per three. GLHF

@LC-wv7tz 4 жыл бұрын

Just run artifacts and rituals. Signets, Talismans, and Felwar Stone. Bauble is worse, but playable I guess and certain decks can recur it for extra value. The best artifact ramp isn't budget. Unfortunately if you are criteria for ramp are non-green AND budget, your options are extremely limited. As SV just said though there are an insane number of tools at your disposal to go through magic cards and find what you are looking for. Scryfall, gatherer, and others. Just... go look... you're going to find that generically speaking the things I already posted are going to be your best bet. If you are mono or dual that heavily favors one color you can run Medallions as well.

Love Chainer 2. "Unpredictable" is a good way to describe him, lots of lines of play during a given game. One of my favorite pieces of "secret tech" for him is the land Dakmor Salvage. It's a great replacement for Squee in case your graveyard gets nuked, as it not only gives fuel for Chainer (by returning to your hand), but also refills your graveyard each turn.
