I'm a budget player, most of my decks are $100 or less...though I do have a lot of decks (I like building, it's a problem). I'm convinced you can build just about anything you want on a budget, but like you said, the trick is that you have to build synergistically if you want the deck to work well. Keeping it focused and trimming the fat from it really helps, as does the multiplayer nature of EDH. It can still bite when a card that costs more than your deck winds up beating you, but hey, sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't.

She reminds me of a build of Vadrik astral archmage from midnight hunt, the whole deck were the "whenever you cast an instant or sorcery this creature gets +3/+0 until end of turn" Wizards get swole. This is all your creatures. And that noncreature reanimate spell is crazy. A little bit Vadrik, a little bit Vadrok. I love it.

I love using cards that others don't, especially when they're synergistic as you mention. Angelfire Ignition is a cool one!

Another bangin tech brother, she's right up my alley with spellslingy storm go wide shenanigans. Would also recommend Sorcerer Class to help power out your spells and capitalize on those tokens you're making

Nothin better than beating your friend's hack-ass $500 netdeck with a bunch of fiddy cent rares

‘Bang bang all the time dude’ 😂

Demons' Souls reference?? Dammit NIcky G, I love you!

I am mostly a cedh player. I got very interested in $100 “budget cedh” a couple years back. It’s my favorite way to play the game. I started playing w some guys I work w who play “high power” I figured my $100 budget decks would fit nicely in to that playgroup full of jeweled lotuses, mana crypts, and staples. It’s not at all a fair fight. They have little chance. I was winning almost all the games and so I have had to power down. More important than budget or access to staples is the mind set. If you are good at building decks and you have a mind for breaking whatever format you play, the casual players just can’t contend. They are infused in a culture of bad strategy and bad decks and the majority of the Edh world thinks roughly the same and they are very wrong. Some examples; people get mad about infect and Eldrazi. That’s “too much”? Fuckin A! You are not even sniffing a win against $100 cedh decks w infect or Eldrazi. $100 proactive decks are putting wins on the stack consistently turn 4. Sometimes faster. The divide between cedh and “a really good Slivers deck”😂 is unfathomably large. My point is, the budget is only really relevant amongst players who are otherwise at least close to the same level. A seasoned cedh player w a $100 budget will frog stomp casual “high power” players even when they are playing bad money piles and it isn’t especially close. Nice video 🖖namaste

Kalamex is basically the new Shu Yun the Silent Shotgun for me. Man, Shu Yun was fun.

This commander makes me wonder if I want to build Veyran or put her in the 99 of Narset lol.

Hell yeah excellent video as always brotherrrrrr. Love the vibes, love fighting those exploitative capitalist pigs

Dude!
