As a result I ended with a slightly more expensive ($57 in paper, 9 tix online) version of Eldrazi Aggro that takes advantage of our Red mana to play some burn spells that can also finish the game.

As a result, I really wanted to add some reach to the deck cards that, when our midrange or control opponents stabilize, could still push through the final points of damage. It was enough to make me want a more consistent removal spell in this slot.įinally, in the couple of games I played before recording, I often felt we were one spell/turn away from winning a game. There were a bunch of situations where I wanted to draw any non-land card in our deck - except for Titan's Presence. Titan's Presence is also an extremely bad top deck. Unlike last week's Ulamog Exile deck where we had a bunch of expensive creatures sitting in our hand, in Eldrazi Aggro our goal is to empty our hand as quickly as possible. You'll see Titan's Presence in the videos, but I've already cut it from the list for some Roasts. The second suspect card was Titan's Presence. My perception might have been tainted by the fact that we drew an insane number of Swarm Surges in our games, but I decided it had to go. The first was Swarm Surge, which is powerful in the right situation (when you are trying to attack through a gummed up board) but really bad when you are behind. While the deck was moderately successful, I realized two cards in particular were too high variance for my liking. Oh, a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Budget Magic series and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest. We'll break down the deck in a minute, but first let's get to the videos. Plus who wouldn't want to sleeve up a deck with 29 Eldrazi? While it may never be tier one (although who knows what Oath of the Gatewatch brings this winter), it does have a lot going for it and can generally compete with the most expensive decks in the format, thanks in no small part to Ghostfire Blade. If you are looking for an ultra budget option to the very expensive Battle for Zendikar Standard, this might be the deck for you. The best part about this deck is that it is incredibly cheap: $26 in paper or only 3 tix on Magic Online. This week we are heading back to Battle for Zendikar Standard to play the oxymoronic sounding Eldrazi Aggro. Howdy Budget Magic lovers! It's that time again.
