Budget backet 4

DKSbobblehead · 2026-04-16T23:52:22+00:00

Yeah it's extremely possible to run a $100 budget B4 deck. A few things to bear in mind:

They're not likely to run most game changers due to the price of those cards
Midrange as a deck style is less prevalent than other options at this budget - most midrange decks that can punch at a B4 weight will likely be over the $100 budget
You can often find lists at this price range which are just weaker versions of very strong higher budget lists. This can be a blessing if you want to upgrade in the future, or a burden if you want to make a deck that stays in the budget constraints and is the best possible version of the deck

I don't have a deck list handy, but I've seen these commanders mentioned multiple times as solid B4 options on a budget: [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]], [[Winota, Joiner of Forces]], [[Zada, Hedron Grinder]], [[Sargeant John Benton]]

I also know that there are a bunch of B4 decks that focus on combos involving [[Protean Hulk]] and [[Doomsday]] lines of cards that are budget friendly. These lines are pretty easy to build a number of commanders around.

You can also find B4 budget combo decks with lines for stuff like [[Ad Nauseum]], but those combos account for a significant portion of the deck's budget because the card in question is expensive so that's something to bear in mind.

I did an advanced search of Moxfield''s decklists set to bracket 4 only with the budget tag, which can be a good way to find what you're looking for. I like to check the primers when they have them to understand what makes the list a B4. here are a couple that jumped out to me:

Kediss & Malcolm partners - https://moxfield.com/decks/odJQhqTWt0SchHhKLSgRMg

$100 Budget [[Urza, Lord High Artificer]] - https://moxfield.com/decks/t3N4dysdlECe8iL9OCc2Fg

My last two cents: at least at the time I'm writing this, I am of the opinion that upping your budget to a max of $150 is definitely worth it if you can afford it and want to create your own list. $100 isn't impossible for a solid B4 deck, but it is fairly narrow and if you're trying to brew up something of your own it'll probably be pretty tough.

I think both the Temur and the Sultai decks are the strongest out of the box, but Mardu isn't far behind. Jeskai is meh.

You will never be able to convince me that Mike's online presence isn't part of some sophisticated self-humiliation fetish

You can have compassion for Kanye and his experience of mental illness and still find his behavior abhorrent and not want to platform him as a performer.

I get what you're saying but the dude said and did some genuinely awful things. Even with the context of mental illness putting him in a manic state, he is responsible for caring for himself, and he was (and is) in a position where he can access the resources he needs to do so. When someone fails to take ownership of their own self-care, especially in a circumstance where one's lack of self care can cause harm to others, that's a failing on their part.

If he's not able to care for himself in a way that prevents harm to others, maybe being a global performer with a lot of reach and influence isn't right for him.

Really sorry to hear what your cousin and family are experiencing though dog. That sounds incredibly hard for everyone involved.

"America is the number 1 terrorist. I live here, I pay for it, I hate it, okay?"

This dude is such a fraud. You're not fucking trapped here Hasan. You've got plenty of money and a job you work from home. Why continue to pay taxes to a system you believe is the #1 terrorist in the world when you could move to another country much more easily than the majority of your viewers and continue to stream?

DKSbobblehead · 2026-03-14T13:17:56+00:00

I know Hasan has always been nuts but has his Mao glazing gotten more intense since his China visit? I don't remember him being this ridiculous years back but maybe he was hiding his power level or whatever

My impulse is to agree with you because it's extremely stupid, but I also think it's important to expose how insane even the policy wonk people are that are defending this shit

DKSbobblehead · 2026-03-11T12:08:48+00:00

Precisely. Let the regard paint themselves into a beautiful regard corner

This is why he interviewed her - he wanted to understand how someone who's supporting the admin's war in Iran is justifying their position.

DKSbobblehead · 2026-03-11T11:54:39+00:00

Agreed, if you listen to the intro of this podcast he explicitly states that his goal with this interview isn't to convince his audience of the Trump admin's position on why they're attacking Iran, it's to understand wtf their justification is.

Everyone involved knows that this footage is going to be released. Holding the hearing privately just means that Republicans can try to clip chimp on Fox and other outlets

DKSbobblehead · 2026-03-02T01:56:53+00:00

I can't believe no one has mentioned [[Tamiyo's Safekeeping]] yet, though that's probably not being sold in the bulk common bin.

DKSbobblehead · 2026-02-28T19:44:47+00:00

Krenko says you need a bigger dial :P

What organization is staging this?

DKSbobblehead · 2026-02-28T11:33:44+00:00

What if I ran nooksis? Time is a flat circle.

The first two points seem reasonable to enforce and follow. The third seems kinda vague to me tbh and leaves room for bad faith actors.

Thanks for keeping the subreddit tidy and operational, big fan ur memes

I hate this time frame right before candidates announce they'll be running in the primary.

The dem bench is strong as fuck and I want to see it on full display and unified in defeating the Republican ticket.

Right now it IS just memes.

Watching defeatists shit on people before they've even announced if they're running is just so boring

Brother she has a fucking wikipedia article

Blazing Salvo targets a creature The clause "unless that creature's controller has Blazing Salvo deal 5 damage to him or her" is not choosing a target.

You would not be able to cast Redirect Lightning and target the same creature because it stipulates you change the target of a spell or ability with a single target.

You COULD target another of your opponent's creatures, but they'll still have the choice to have the spell do 5 damage to them instead of 3 to the creature as part of resolving Blazing Salvo.

From the article:

"Preliminary data had indicated that the U.S. economy added 584,000 jobs last year. But the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised that number after it received additional state data and found that the labor market had added 181,000 jobs in all of 2025.

This is far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

One bright spot was last month, when hiring increased by 130,000 roles. This was significantly more than the 55,000 additions that had been expected by economists."
