Cheap modern deck that can win.

Ace · April 03, 2013, 12:26:50 AM

I don't have a lot of money to spend on a modern deck but I want to be able to play at a modern fnm and win. Is there any decks that are cheap to make but that can also beat a top ter deck also? Any help would be great. Also, just so everyone knows, my budget would have to stay under 200 in total

I've learned that generally a mono colour deck is ur cheapest bet. Lots of basic lands saves money.

Infect, soul sisters, mono red burn/rdw, and death & taxes are the first decks that come to mind.

Yep - the sisters deck I posted a couple of days ago in modern here is average price $130 as is... Could do with a couple more {Serra Ascendant} at about $10 each, but for that $ it's huuuuuge amounts of fun.

It's an entirely uninteractive deck that involves a 15 minute turn to win.

izik99 · April 03, 2013, 06:22:53 PM

It basically is this: Turn 1, Chromatic Star. Turn 2, Reshape into Lotus Bloom, and 15 minutes later win with Pyrite Spellmomb.

It's boring for the other player. Playing it and winning takes major skill and practice, but to the ill informed bystander it's completely boring.

MisterJH · April 03, 2013, 08:35:36 PM

Even to the informed bystander its awful. Its just a waste of life, if i was told id be playing eggs id jus forfeit the win...
