At my Fnm they started a 4 dollar challenge. The whole deck including side board cannot have any cards in it that are more then 4 dollars apiece. If you make top 8 or even win for that matter you get tripple the cash prize. Any ideas on a viable standard deck to play this week? My meta is usually alot of tokens, zombies, control, and usually a few RDW's.
U/W delver seems like an easy way to get in there.
You could easily run my human based deck, it does really well at my fnm's.
You would need to drop the sorin (I think I've only dropped him once anyway), the sun titan, and you might as well drop the grottos, the swamps and the vault of the archangel's too and make it a straight white deck.
Read up my little write up to see how it works, if you feel you need to replace something, I would add in a few more of the elite guys.
It plays really well, it's extremely easy to play, and the majority of the deck is cheap to cast.
It's called "honor and conviction of a soldier" (I woulda renamed it, but then it would have made a new deck in the forums) lol
One guy tried it last week with basically a goblin deck and made top 8 then took 8 th.
Try elves, they are surprisingly strong.
At my store 20 dollar goblin deck took this last fnm beating out wolf run frites and the like
Haven't lost with goblins yet, well, haven't lost a match with my goblins yet.
I have a surprise for ya. Blue green aggro. Stalkers strangle root Geist and some ware wolves it's mostly humans so add stuff like silver inlaid dagger and butchers cleaver. Also add moonmist and delver of secrets. Moonmist let's u transform everything at one which is also nice since its humans mostly ur equipment will get huge and when they flip things like mayor of avenrook will pump most everything else.
Mono green stampede
{Strangle root geist}
{Young wolf}
Elf with hexproof for 1 green
{garruk's companion}
{Titanic growth}
{Fog}
The other fog for 3
Etc Jank and beatdown ftw
Not sure what {predator ooze} is worth but there ya go easy build to
Also check out my green black infect deck too, swap the phyrexian crusader with glissa an you will be right to kick some serious butt.
I've won a few times with this deck. :)
Mono black infect/control with either {lashwrithe} {bonehoarder}?
