Notes:
He's freaking out and needs help. Could you give some suggestions for stuff under 2 dollars because he doesn't have very many rares. Please. He feels really bad because he can't ever win anything.

Part of losing is learning bro.

I know but He feels so terrible and I try to help, but its hard. I mean his deck isn't a complete failure. He still needs a bit of help.

4 {Gray Merchant of Asphodel} is a good start. If you want cheap devotion cards, you can use {dark prophecy} and also add in something like {rescue from the underworld} to recur your bombs.

Why only 2$ or under?

Spencer Addington · January 29, 2014, 10:59:07 PM

I'm assuming his little brother doesn't have much spending money.

Because not everyone can afford a playset of nightveils/demons/mutavaults

My brother is ten. He doesn't have much trade stuff and I'll spring for the stuff you have suggested for him

More Grey Merchants, more removal ({doom blade}, {pharikas cure}), and {Pack Rats}, {Whip of Erebos}. A few of those may be higher than I thought in price.

Edit: SINCE WHEN IS PACK RAT FIVE .LOVIN. DOLLARS!!!

{duress} and lose {disciple of phenax} for something.

Sparkle Ninja · January 29, 2014, 11:25:02 PM

I'll consider the Pack Rats. I mean I could trade for those for him

Sparkle Ninja · January 29, 2014, 11:26:23 PM

Guys, really thanks for all the help. I'll put all this into consideration.

RIGHT??? It's crazy. I was contemplating buying a playset for a dollar each a while ago but I didn't pull the trigger. Stupid decision.
