A $20 puresteel deck I made for fun, I was so tired of seeing the same vampire, werewolf, zombie and delver deck lists and I saw that interesting stalker deck here in standard and it got me thinking if it were possible to make a puresteel deck on a budget of 20 bucks and I think it came out okay, if I upped it to $25 there would be some better common and uncommon cards

Prophylaxis

I have a Puresteel deck myself. {Bonehoard} or {Strata Scythe} from Scars can be good.

Validan

Yeah definitely putting a strata or two in here

Validan

Still will be interested in suggestions

{inquisitors flail} for the stalker since he is unblock able.

That is like saying all I have say to creature decks is {doom blade}......there are cards to counteract deck types.  I think he is looking for advice how to build it better not destroy it

It's good, but you need other boosts too, otherwise you're effectively only getting +1/+0 .

Now, {Invisible Stalker} + {Inquisitor's Flail} + {Sliver-Inlaid Dagger} = 8 damage a swing!

Validan

Yeah that one has won me a few games, hard to race a three turn clock

Blackyzilla

What about {Etched Champion} 2 in this deck could be pretty brutal metal craft want be hard to get
