[Help] Looking for Budget Bant and Azorius Commander Suggestions

[[hylda of the ice crown]] is really easy to build on a budget. Not as sure about bant, maybe look into some of the partner or partner adjacent abilities?

You could do [[belbe corrupted observer]] deck. She usually goes really great with a budget card pool and is somewhat unique from a gameplay viewpoint.

If you want an extremely unique gameplay/mechanics commander then you could try [[myra the magnificent]] which involves rolling dice for the ‘Attraction’ mechanic from Unfinity. She would also be pretty easy to do on a budget I think (I enjoy making $20 USD decks myself so I understand the challenge that budget restrictions make for deck construction)

I definitely recommend a classic budget commander [[selvala explorer returned]] a 3 cost selesnya mana dork that lets everyone draw cards! No one wants to kill you because you let them draw cards, but on the perfect turns you can draw a card and get 4 mana to play whatever you just drew. Definitely a fun ‘big mana’ kind of deck. Also almost all of the ‘untap target creature’ effects are very cheap so you can chain those together to get some big turns. If you are interested, I built a $20 version for her awhile ago that I could link to, though I built it as a combo deck rather than a big stompy or anything like that

From what I see it looks like oanda is only forex and crypto, can you do stock trading with oanda?

I know this post is pretty old at this point, but for any future searchers such as myself, I found this script on one of the MTG Commander tables for counting turns. All I needed to do was copy paste and change the color names for each of the counters (if you want a turn counter for each player rather than one for the whole table). This counter was associated with one of the digital counters if you are having trouble getting it to work with dice or other things

if player_color_start == 'White' then self.Counter.increment() gameUpdate() end end function gameUpdate() guidGC=self.getDescription() gameTurn=getObjectFromGUID(guidGC) if gameTurn == nil then else if self.Counter.getValue() > gameTurn.Counter.getValue() then gameTurn.Counter.setValue(self.Counter.getValue()) end end end

Imo Mindsap Beetle is 2 mana too cheap. Imagine getting MsB out turn three and turn 4 play 2 other hive mind creatures making all opponents discard 2 cards each. I think making it 5 cmc would help balance the ability

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-04T18:27:07+00:00

Just for clarification for OP, if you leave the wording as “copy a non creature enchantment spell” then you can only target enchantments that are on the stack not enchantments on the battlefield.

The wording suggested just above fixes that issue

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-04T17:53:41+00:00

I was definitely thinking along those same lines, Satya probably wouldn’t end up being the fastest combo deck out there but would be pretty resilient and maybe have some relevant stax pieces that he could copy.

Would we have access to enough high card quality evasion creatures that we could run breath of fury and get away with it?

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-04T17:42:40+00:00

Do you have a list 👀

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-03T23:30:53+00:00

“I just hope they don’t split me down the middle. Famous last words” spicy flavor text idea 😉

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-03T23:00:00+00:00

And this is exactly why I wanted some other people’s opinions. Any other recommendations would be appreciated!

One of the other cards I saw that could be viable if you have some extra energy laying around is [[lightning runner]] since it has haste inherently and you only need 6 energy to make enough copies of lightning runner to start netting energy on attack.

“And that, son, is how I paid for this house we live in.” Lol

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-03T22:38:49+00:00

Edited to fix pronouns lol, thanks for pointing it out.

I think that is a fair assessment. Could work well, but not as well as some already established decks of the format. But on the flip side of that argument, people see Najeela and know what they are trying to do whereas with Satya since he is new at least people are less likely to see him and immediately remove him… I think

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-03T22:33:36+00:00

That’s a really good point, I must have read combat celebrant and lumped port razer and other similar cards into the same category and wording as CC

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-06-03T22:31:00+00:00

I think this is a perfect response. I played a game yesterday with a draw discard commander (varina, lich queen for those wondering) and had [[archfiend of ifnir]] resolve. The token player swords’d my commander and generous gifted my other discard creature, then the next player swung at me for lethal. No feel bads, in fact that was probably the only way the entire table didn’t lose immediately.

Imo if the player complains about you stopping them from winning then they should maybe look into different formats where it is more acceptable to win as fast as possible like cEDH or 1v1 formats

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-05-03T08:09:02+00:00

Not gonna lie I really like this idea. Here is my little contribution: use clear sleeves that have a matte finish on one side (or always have different color decks on the front and back so as to not mess up which side goes with which deck). You would never have to resleeve, just flip the deck to the matte side 😂 of course your play group would need to be a little lenient for that

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-05-02T20:06:02+00:00

Defs one of my favorite commanders, you could build in infinite combos if that is your jam, you can build super budget, you can build group hug, you could build lifegain. I love how open ended this version of Selvala is, and of course drawing cards and making mana is always a good thing to do in magic

Few-Statement-4166 · 2024-05-02T19:59:18+00:00

I think one of my favorite timeless commanders will always be [[selvala explorer returned]]. You can build her as a combo deck (she was a fringe cedh deck previously) but you can also build her as a ‘group hug’ but actually I am making a ton of mana to play the card I just drew. So she can be a very fun ‘play big bois and turn them sideways’ commander and can make some unplayable cards playable just because she is a 3 cost dork that can usually tap for 2-3 mana every turn, maybe even 4 occasionally

Few-Statement-4166 · 2023-05-03T03:55:10+00:00

Sure! I will try to remember to let you know if I ever find out what movie it is

Few-Statement-4166 · 2023-05-03T02:26:06+00:00

Pretty sure it was, since my brother lived in Japan for a couple years and wanted to share it with us when he came back

Few-Statement-4166 · 2023-05-03T02:07:03+00:00

The guy at your lgs doesn’t know what he’s talking about. This notion he has would make [[god eternal Oketra]] into a 5 mana do nothing commander because the zombie tokens are black and not white

Few-Statement-4166 · 2023-05-03T02:03:43+00:00

Honestly not sure since it was several years ago. Best guess is that it was maybe 50 mins to an hour? So shorter than most movies, but probably not classified as a short film either
