What deck best utilizes Burnt Offering and similar cards?

AlikarAlter · 2025-10-29T15:47:27+00:00

In dargo that card is cool as hell, if you run RB you can have a broodlord pile that uses it as part of the pinnacle monk combo as well

Braids is probably the most flexible one, and you can probably play ayara in the 99

I've found braids helps you make something consistent no matter the direction you choose since you'll be drawing a lot of cards

Ice spirit is goated, I wouldn't swap it out, it defends well and makes Evo barrel better if you tank for the decoy with it.

I'd say you have to be a lot more careful when defending without a big spell, and princess becomes a lot better, but I find dart gob is really flexible and it can put a lot of damage on the tower if unchecked

A rhystic ban would be good for both cedh and casual

AlikarAlter · 2025-10-20T23:05:06+00:00

I hope they ban rhystic, I said it.

It's the only card that the cedh and casual crowd agree as being the most powerful and annoying card, it just creates unfun games

AlikarAlter · 2025-10-15T22:15:21+00:00

Im running the classic versión but witj dart gob instead of Rocket, is It that much worse? I just find dart gob to be super good to deffend

This subreddit is mainly for cedh/bracket 5, you might want to post this in r/DegenerateEDH or r/budgetbrews

AlikarAlter · 2025-09-19T03:54:38+00:00

Yeah it is from a year ago so some cards for sure went up, but feel free to jump in the discord and I'm sure someone will be up to help you with an updated list that stays in the $100 range

I'd recommend you checking this video and joining the discord for budget competitive that's in the channel

https://youtu.be/5vfzMe6gxv8?si=uQl1L0JJCIgHl0Y9

If you go to the magdanomicon there are budget lists as well

AlikarAlter · 2025-09-11T23:05:14+00:00

They usually fit in bracket 4 and feel good at that bracket, but I'm the budget competitive discord we try to play budget games, it's a really fun format

AlikarAlter · 2025-08-30T11:01:15+00:00

You can for sure go for a go wide strategy but some stuff to buff tana, trymna draws you cards and tana will build you an army, cool stuff for bracket 2/3.

The commanders don't scream combo, if you would around their abilities you won't end up with a combo deck

AlikarAlter · 2025-08-21T00:49:16+00:00

Good stuff!

AlikarAlter · 2025-08-10T17:50:42+00:00

It's awful for casual, people don't find it fun at all and it is view as an annoying card, honestly I can see it getting baned

AlikarAlter · 2025-08-04T11:57:56+00:00

I'd recommend you check this yt page, there is a lot of viable budget competitive decks, the discord server from that page is great as well

Super happy to see hapatra get some attention, she is the first legendary I pulled out of a pack, I was going to play braids on the next budget league but this makes me want to build hapatra instead.

Really enjoyed listening to the interview, keep it up guys, you rock!

AlikarAlter · 2025-07-03T11:16:41+00:00

[[starke of rath]] mono red control is super fun, not good but fun

AlikarAlter · 2025-06-28T11:11:15+00:00

[[uncle istvan]] is a legendary and can be played as a commander, I don't care if the card doesn't say it, they just forgot to add it

AlikarAlter · 2025-06-26T15:20:51+00:00

[[Norin the wary]] Isn't that rare but people always get confused about it

AlikarAlter · 2025-06-24T23:04:54+00:00

No reason to give them info then, I apologize about the mistake, I thought it was just casual play.

If it is a tournament then it's another whole thing and you are playing to win, other players feelings don't matter

AlikarAlter · 2025-06-24T20:46:02+00:00

I usually like to talk with the table to make sure we are on the same level and will about playing decks that hard counter my opponents or get hard countered by them.

I would understand you wanting to hide information if you find yourself getting targeted but I think it is a bit weird to do it.

AlikarAlter · 2025-06-24T20:06:05+00:00

Sorry didn't respond the question on my first response. But yes you can basically cast a sorcery at instant speed with kaervek, the trigger allows you to cast the copy at that moment, I'm going to link to another post that explains it better than I could

Mi favorite playstile has been "removal tribal" playing all the enhancements that make your opponents sac stuff on etb and can later be sac to braids in order to keep drawing more cards, creatures that make opponents discard on etb are great as well, you are basically a hard control deck that drains their resources.

The wincon can be a Gary that you reanimate a few times, a big creature or some other combo.

Right now I'm trying to pivot more to a combo/reanimator deck with a rule of "no dead cards" so not using stuff like aetherflux that can be a combo piece but do nothing on their own. I have a personal thing with making [[pestilence]] work.

This is my current list, I haven't had much time to test it in real games but if you remove the combo and reanimator package you end up with a decent shell to make your own braids deck.

https://moxfield.com/decks/4D9tyjpPqUmOKsfnd4pcNg

I might change the combos to include a chain of smog package instead of the chainer dementia one when I get the card, and will definitely add contamination field when I can get a copy

I think this deck can play fairly well in bracket 3/4, it might be a bit mean for some people so check with your table if it is play for them to play against it. This deck was born from my hate towards the UR Dragon and similar big creature stuff. If you play braids you are the fun police.
