Was a fan of the "Black hand" back in Kamigawa days...and I'm currently setting up a "budget version"....my wallet just got assraped by SoFis and I have 3 pythons and a gecko to feed :)
Please help me out with this budget deck from sucking ass too much...constructive criticisms are very welcome :)
Obviously, the ones with the "still looking" tag means that they're the only ones missing so far...
Critters: 20
3 Bane of the Living
4 Black Knight (still looking)
3 Hypnotic Specter (still looking)
4 Hand of Cruelty
2 TombStalker (still looking)
4 Ogre Marauder
Spells: 20
4 Dark Ritual
3 Diabolic Edict
3 Rend Flesh ("budget" smother...haven't seen overpowered "spirits" lately...)
3 Hymn to Tourach
3 Duress
2 Distress
2 Sword of Fire and Ice
Lands: 20
20 Swamp
Questions:
1) Tombstalker's there coz I just want a surprise fatty that looks kickass. Just need 2. On the other hand, what are your thoughts if I placed Grinning Demon, Yukora the Prisoner or Stronghold Overseer instead?
2) Would it be suicidal if I kicked out Hippie for Ashenmoor gougers? Afterall, I already have 8 discard effects...
PS: I just want to make it clear that Im not willing to sacrifice my mother to get a Jitte and Wastelands (for some odd reason...they're priced similarly here...)
