so, whaddya think?

[adventus]

Drop the {W}.  Run 4 {corpsejack menace}s and {dreg mangler}s.

[Apathy Reactor]

I only got 1 corpsejack, but I could run one more dreg mangler, but this is the balance of card types I want: 24 land, 11 spell, 25 creature, and the white is a spell, do you think I should run 24 land, 10 spell, and 26 creatures?

*25 *24 *25 *25 XI srry

[Apathy Reactor]

do you mean replace the random {plains} w/ a {dreg mangler} and {soul tithe} w/ {horncaller's chant}? I think that might work

[adventus]

You want to run multiple copies of cards that support your strategy.  Run 4 copies if the card is key to your strategy.  For scavenge, I 'd run 4x {corpsejack menace}, {dreg mangler} and {slither head}.  Run 3, if the card supports your strategy but isn't a key card.  Run only 1-2 copies of a card when it only mildly supports your strategy and/or is situational.  For example, running {horn callers chant}.  That's a situational card.  It would suck to draw that in your openning hand.  But if you drew it at the right time at the end of the game it could be great.  The white card was none of these things.  Just remove that card and that plain.

[Apathy Reactor]

I see where your coming from, but my budget is around $20 per deck, so I can't rlly afford to buy 6 more 1 and 2 dollar cards, but I can run one more {dredge mangler} and two {slitherhead}s but the {drudge beetle}s and others also help this strategy, I've replaced the white with your suggestion, only other thing I'm concerned about is my use of {auger spree}, I'm thinking I should replace it with {stab wound} or {launch party}

[adventus]

Oops.  I overlooked the red in here.  I suggest you just run {G} and {B} in this one.

[Apathy Reactor]

yeah, I'm going to replace it, but which one?
{launch party}, {stab wound}, or {golgari keyrune}?

[MisterJH]

Instead of budgeting a deck to $20, slowly build it because at $20 youll only do work in pauper format(which you may want to consider)

I learned the hard way that budgetting so hard is just a heartbreak

[Apathy Reactor]

I'm only near one comic store that sells specific magic cards and I haven't even been there yet, I just find a premade deck that I like, in this case Golgari Growth, and swap out some stuff from my booster packs :/ I don't have a job right now, so my budget is kinda right as far as hobbies go

*Tight

[Apathy Reactor]

ok, revised, just need one more swamp card^ srry forgot to replace the plains

[Apathy Reactor]

***and replace {golgari longlegs} with another {dreg mangler} XD so much fail
