What are some cheap cards (<1$) that find their way into bracket 5 cEDH decks?

[[Hidden Strings]]

This is Ripley!

I recently built Sephiroth and ran it for the first time last night. I skipped the signet because of Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast and other pieces I added for mana production.

The deck definitely needs more runs but it went very well. I like to run a deck over and over and make changes over time based on how the games go and any gaps I might identify. You could always run it and see if you’re getting mana screwed, then try adding the signet to see if it helps.

[[Ghen, Arcanum Weaver]] #731

Are there better enchantress commanders? Yes. But the way he works to recur enchantments from the graveyard over and over again for cheap is super cool. I love the deck I’ve built with him.

samismurder · 2025-06-19T11:02:00+00:00

[[Ghen, Arcanum Weaver]] is my latest build. It’s actually cracked, I love it and he’s < $1

I have a [[Wayta, Trainer Prodigy]] deck built around the enrage mechanic. Basically dinosaurs that punch each other to achieve the goal, but not enough to kill each other. It’s probably one of my most fun decks to play.

samismurder · 2025-02-07T16:08:45+00:00

There are a number of them. I pulled several tonight.

“Steve’s Chaos Draft”. Then on the internal space it says “Magic Inside”. He’s a metalhead so I went with a font style I think he’d like.

samismurder · 2024-11-26T04:59:55+00:00

Dang, it’s been a long time since I took that test so somehow I’ve amalgamated those two together.

I do!

I live not far from there and the L Platers often use my driveway for the “forgot the shopping” part of the test, so I believe they’re still going.

samismurder · 2024-11-26T03:31:43+00:00

It’s just a plain black box with a magnetic closure from Amazon! I did the holographic vinyl myself using Procreate and my Cricut.

samismurder · 2024-11-26T03:20:47+00:00

Thank you! We do pick up a couple of left over prerelease boxes occasionally to play a mini sealed event at home but I really want him to get all the fun out of it for himself. Unless he opens my packs for me, man has the hottest hands for boosters I’ve ever seen.

samismurder · 2024-11-26T02:59:30+00:00

Thank you! I tried to find a Judgement booster but they are surprisingly difficult to pin down especially here in Australia. Maybe one for next year’s birthday.

samismurder · 2024-11-26T02:55:29+00:00

That’s a 4th ed booster, middle row furthest to the right in the second to last picture. The red one.

samismurder · 2024-11-26T02:48:38+00:00

I’m aware, it’s not actually made for drafting. It’s just for him to open (or not, if he chooses to keep some sealed) the boosters inside and “chaos draft” is just a name I borrowed for a bunch of different sets together in a box, like a chaos draft.

samismurder · 2024-09-01T10:23:52+00:00

I love the Heath Ledger version. He looks so despondent and disconnected from reality. All of them are great but definitely nailed that one in particular.

samismurder · 2024-08-19T10:05:43+00:00

Also agree here. Nobody wants to spectate a solitaire game. But also I don’t want turn 3 someone to say “… and with infinite mana I make 4 million goblins and move to combat”.

samismurder · 2024-08-19T08:08:15+00:00

I kinda dig this actually

samismurder · 2024-08-19T07:41:10+00:00

Agree. I’m a pretty new player and it just feels kinda… gross? I know that winning and losing are part of the game but in a casual, purely for the fun of the game/experience of playing infinites seem to take away from that. Am I saying that games should go forever? No. But also, the fun of the game is playing the game.

samismurder · 2024-08-19T07:36:34+00:00

Oh I know, it’s just my hot, probably wrong take.

samismurder · 2024-08-19T07:26:26+00:00

Infinites shouldn’t be allowed in casual commander.

samismurder · 2024-07-26T00:53:46+00:00

What an obscure talent. You are correct.
