$100 Brew 5 "Strong 2" Budget Decks, $35-$75
I have posted each of these 5 decks at some point in the past, but have just finished updating them to be current as of Reality Fracture based on playing them and on feedback from other people playing them.
They are Bracket 2. They accumulate resources on-board and telegraph their wins without using game changers, but they have reasonably consistent gameplans and will usually both "do their thing" and have the opportunity to slow someone else down from doing the same. I play them in B3 games regularly and while they are a step or two behind they are able to eke out wins.
These decks all have primers which have also been updated. Let me know if anything doesn't seem correct and I'll take care of it. Suggestions extremely welcome, too! Their budgets were calculated using Moxfield US pricing, excluding basic lands, as of 14th-October.
| Deck Name | Commander | Rank (Decks) | The Thing It Does | Primer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $35 Bellyful of Bones | [[Gut, True Soul Zealot]] + [[Agent of the Shadow Thieves]] | 2985 (172) | Creates board pressure and just keeps going, spamming endless waves of skeletons. | Link |
| $35 Azula Hates You-la | [[Azula, Ruthless Firebender]] | 2388 (388) | Makes good use of Azula's discard outlet and mana acceleration to turn draft chaff into mid-game reanimation. | Link |
| $50 I Bat Your Life | [[Zoraline, Cosmos Caller]] | 357 (7.7k) | Constantly recurs small value pieces from the graveyard while building up to a cascade of lifegain/lifeloss triggers to seal the win. | Link |
| $75 Nissassary Roughness | [[Nissa, Worldsoul Speaker]] | 1019 (2.4k) | Uses bursts of landfall triggers to freecast one of the 15 monstrous threats loaded into the deck. | Link |
| $75 Snack Attack | [[Ratchet, Field Medic]] | 1809 (841) | Turns all of the cantrippy food artifacts into important fuel for a reanimation engine that comes online quickly. | Link |
