Title: Need Deck Idea Help
Post by: Wit119o on February 29, 2012, 02:58:38 PM
I am trying to put together a tournament viable deck with mostly innestrad  block cards since I just began playing again. I am not opposed to buying some cards I just can't afford multiples of the expensive ones. Any ideas would be great, but I have most experience with red and green. Thanks for the help.

Dude did you read the OP's post at all? Lol you suggested a $300+ deck

I would suggest looking at the standard post about budget decks because you can make some very effective ones after looking at the suggestions there

Well, thanks for the few tips. I checked out one other post so far but a lot of the cheaper decks seem to be based on Mirrodin block and 2012. I know these are the first sets to rotate out and was hoping to avoid purchasing too much from them. I did find a few ideas though. Any more is much appreciated.

Just devils play? No snapcaster Mage? Or stromkirk nobles? Or Chandra's Phoenix ?

Nope and it works very well. But I also have a really limited budget as well

Ahhh, the only way I've ever run deliver is with snapcaster

Post by: Greg54js on February 29, 2012, 08:17:52 PM
I've never had that chance but the only thing I'd flash back is ponder
Title: Re: Need Deck Idea Help
Post by: darkarts981 on February 29, 2012, 08:19:46 PM
Yeah, that's usually the only thing I use with snapcaster

Post by: Greg54js on February 29, 2012, 08:23:24 PM
And honestly I'm not gonna spend the $20-25 to flash back a .25 cent common

That's a good point

Post by: Greg54js on February 29, 2012, 08:30:55 PM

Wasn't that $0.25 common banned on certain formats?

Have you thought about getting an event deck and starting from there. They're pretty good to start with and you can try to adjust it as you go
