Super clear and comprehensive, non budget options listed without being in your face, turn one ideal progression, this video has it all! This is everything I'm looking for in a deck building video! Awesome work, guys!
Great video! Much faster build than the modern event deck, and the upgrade options is a brilliant idea. This build is also pretty easy to build on and update as cards get rotated out of standard - I already have a few in to test.
I love the layout of this deck tech, giving the budget version and showing beside it the non-budget upgrade. This makes it nice and easy for people who have the upgraded card in their collection to swap out the card! Very nice touch!
This is great. I just realized a couple months ago that modern is a format I'd like to get into. I can't keep up with standard. I noticed this is the only modern video you guys have up so far but let me say I really enjoyed it and hope you make more. I would like to make a white weenie deck that could be upgraded, but this is a great budget option until I can get a WW rolling. I do have a budget goblins deck too that I put together about a month ago. I know it won't stand up to the tier one decks but at least I have a modern deck that could be fun to play and steal a win here and there. This deck tech showed me another possible budget option that could do the same.
Yeah we are busy getting more modern decks built and tested. However next Saturday the next modern video will come out. If you like a devastatingly fast deck, you will like this one ;).
Awesome! I love that you give the non-budget upgrade options. I'm going to try out this deck for sure. I can't wait for the next one. Thank you so much, you guys are really inspiring!
Awesome complement +Steel Dom :). We also noticed that the video shows 4x instead of 3x. We have modified it with annotations but unfortunately won't show on mobile devices.
I've got a similar deck in bant colors. it's pretty successful in competition and very fun in casual. the deck cost me a little under 80 bucks but can be seriously upgraded with a pair of snapcaster mage's. deck list is followed: azorius charm X2 simic charm X2 birds of paradise X4 Geist of Saint Taft X2 unbridled growth X2 muddle the mixture X3 beck/call X3 swan song X3 flurry of wings X3 raise the alarm X4 lingering souls X4 curse of swine X3 intangible virtue X4 sram's expertise X1 elixir of immortality X1 your lands will change as you get used to the deck. I do recommend the gates and the bant 3 color lands, they do work. sideboard a pair of bower passage, a copy of bident of thassa, a copy of aura shards, and a pair of quickening. this plays so well I couldn't resist putting up. lots of draw through token generation and searching for beck/call is nice with muddle. muddle pulls must cards in deck! your counters and removal make more tokens! giving your opponent/s petty creatures for their absurd sorceries and instants is super funny. fog? 2/2 bird. that's a cool precursor golem! how about 3 pigs? have fun.
Archetype of Courage works really well with this deck if you have it handy. especially if you use the Vault to buff your tokens and then have FS/DT/LL tokens of death!
It's a fun card +Michael Nahirniak, and good in combination with the Vault. However we noticed that at 3 mana we really need to be putting down tokens and just a 2/2 was not enough, even with its ability.
It does because a 3/3 or 4/4 depending on the number of Honor of the Pure's out, but your right, you need tokens out nearly every turn to overwhelm your enemy, might be nice to have in two headed giant play as a companion deck in concert then.
Actually, this is a really good introduction video for anyone interested in this kind of deck. Explains very well the way of pilot the deck, and even suggest ways to improve the deck. Really, a good video!!! =)
Glad to see you guys mowing down on modern prices! Always exited to watch ones of your videos ;). Can you add Rith to your edh budget series possible generals list please? Thanks a ton for the deck tech and videos!
David, I've really enjoyed your Commander series and have recently built soul sisters for modern. I noticed the r/u delver deck you did and I might build it :) Please continue to make more modern decks. I know this can be tricky with cards having to be under $2, but I wanted to let you know I found great success (very nice, I like) at my local card shop playing soul sisters WITHOUT the serra ascendants! Of course, I recently added them to complete my own list, but here's what I played with at the VERY start. Feel free to feature this list in an upcoming video and make changes as you like. Lands 1-2 Ghost Quarter $1.25 (depending on meta) 1-2 Windbrisk Heights $1.25 16-18 Plains (Practically free :P) Mainboard 4x Soul's Attendant $2.15 4x Soul Warden $1 4x Martyr of Sands $1.49 4x Ajani's Pridemate $0.49 4x Squadron Hawk $0.25 4x Ranger of Eos $1.99 4x Swords to Plowshares $2.49 4x Honor of the Pure $1.99 4x Spectral Procession $0.75 2x Brave the Elements $0.29 $56.20 for the mainboard Sideboard 2x Burrenton Forge Tender $1.25 1x Pithing Needle $3.49-$4.99 2x Tormod's Crypt $0.39 2x Oblivion Ring $0.69 2x Hushwing Gryph $0.49 1x Kataki, War's Wage $2.09 1x Dryad Militant $0.25 2x Brave the Elements $0.29 2x Blind Obedience $1.49 $13.67 for the sideboard Total cost $69.87, about $70. Especially against aggro decks (burn, elves, etc) the soul's attendants and wardens will net you incredible life. Started with a martyr in hand? play it turn one, dump your land turn 2 and reveal to a sack for 12-15 life on turn 2. Get squadron hawk to refill your hand for another brutal martyr activation. Need more life? Leave ajani's pridemate on the field and watch him grow as you cast ranger of eos with a warden or two on the field, search up more wardens and drop them or a spectral procession for massive life gain. Play an honor or two, main phase a brave before combat and watch your opponent helplessly take massive damage from your huge ajani's pridemate and evasive spirits in the air, which are also about 2/2 or 3/3 by now. I love this deck, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite modern decks among my collection of 3 (pili-pala combo and elves, BOTH budget!!)
Hi there! The list looks sweet, please go to our Facebook page and send us a message from there so we can ask you a few questions about the deck. facebook.com/budgetmtgdecks/
It may be more useful for a more white-heavy deck, but Charge Across the Araba (0.01 tix) is a solid budget card for tokens. I've closed out quite a few games with it. Maybe 1 or 2x would work if there's room for it.
It could work, however we found 5 mana to be a bit steep in modern for this kind of an effect. Especially if it get's countered you are in big trouble! ;)
It certainly can be risky and the 5 mana is high, but I found it to be a great way to close a game if you know that you can get the damage through - if they're tapped out, no blockers, no Fog potential, etc. I first saw it in an article from Craig Wescoe and I think he ran 2x in a Pro Tour in 2012. magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=10796
I'm very happy to see a modern deck tech and definitely think you guys should make more of these in the future. That being said i never was a fan of token strategies, aren't these kinds of decks incredibly easy to counter? The way i see it there are good sideboard cards available to most colors that allow them to pretty singnificantly up their win% against any token strategy. Am I wrong here?
Thanks for letting us know +XlllThirteen, more deck techs are in the works ;). Regarding the token strategy, we have noticed that it works quite well, but yes there are counters to the strategy. On the other hand the hand disruption cards help mitigate that problem.
one criticism, I am a soul sisters player, and 4 wind brisk heights can really hurt as a top deck in some scenarios, I would run two to three(personally).
When you said "what if they are running lots of multi colored creatures" **Radiant Purge** ! Its white's version of doomblade and it hits multi color enchantments as a bonus.
What about elspeth sun champion? She might be a little late game but she gives tokens AND she can kill everything else. Also, I'm thinking about adding either Seeker of the Way or myth realized because of the massive amount of noncreature spells, does flashback trigger prowess?
Elspeth Sun Champion we found to be a bit slow for modern. We think you will find that Seeker of the way and Myth Realized do not optimally make use of the token strategy. Flashback does trigger prowess as you are casting the spell (from your graveyard).
How's this do against the usual modern decks like burn, infect, bogles, tron, affinity, kiki-chord and eldrazi, or even tier 2 decks like stompy and martyr proc?
Hi +Justin Stark, against tier 1 non budget it can usually scrape a win in 25% of the cases. Tier 2 non budget it becomes more like 45% of the time. We have not tested it against Eldrazi though.
I was going to suggest you to offer non-budget upgrades but you already thought of it! Nice job! One card that I think is underused/estimated in token strategies is Coat of Arms. let's say you play a spectral procession with a coat of arms on the field. That makes them all 3/3 flyers (which you probably paid 3 mana for). very nice except a bit slow
This is great! I'm putting it together with a few of my own changes. I've never played Modern before (I mainly play Commander), but I think this will be a fun deck to start with.
Sorry I'm so late with my reply! I honestly got my ass handed to me; definitely not the deck's fault! The problem existed between the table and the chair. Playing my first modern tournament proved once again that I'm a Commander player through and through. I still had a blast though! The deck was fun to play.
Even though Sorin would be better you could instead use Elspeth +KolyatKrios. In that case we would suggest you go for Elspeth, Knight-Errant. If you can't use her then go for Elspeth Tirel. Elspeth, Sun's Champion is too much mana to be able to make the impact you want on turn 6.
Hey guys! Keep up with the great work! I have a suggestion: Nowadays I'm looking for a budget Sigarda (the one from Shadows Over Innistrad) Human Tribal EDH deck. Could you add her to the list to do a deck around her? Thank you a lot!
Budget MTG Decks I can get it down to every card being $3 or less. For the Legacy, That is very cheap. Creatures-1 1 Nether Spirit - $1.60 Instants - 7 4 Dark Ritual - $0.37 3 Funeral Charm - $0.86 Sorceries - 20 4 Blackmail - $2.51 3 Innocent Blood - $0.21 2 Raven's Crime - $0.78 4 Hymn to Tourach - $1.18 3 Pox - $2.13 3 Smallpox - 0.14 1 Syphon Life - $0.10 Artifacts - 3 3 The Rack - $1.76 Enchantments - 4 2 Shrieking Affliction - $0.69 2 Bottomless Pit - $0.19 Lands - 25 3 Dakmor Salvage - $3.00 2 Mishra's Factory - $1.18 20 Swamp - $0.36 Prices are from TCG as of the time I write this. Total cost for main deck is $56.61. Again, this is for a Legacy deck that insanely cheap and can be upgraded over time.
I really liked the video, keep up with the amazing work guys. But It got me wondering, is this replacing the EDH deck tech of the month or are we getting another video soon?
Thanks +Caio Italiano Pires, it's not a replacement for the EDH videos. However we will be a bit behind on the next one as next week we are filming a full set review for Shadows over Innistrad. Filming and editing 5 videos over the span of one week is going to delay the rest a bit. Sorry about that.
What I've been looking for is a really good mono-white deck that can hold it's own, but I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars. Budget decks tend to fall short of that. Anyone got any good ideas?
Well, mono-white is typically good with lots of tokens/creatures/weenies, so that's a place to start, and if you do some sort of creature swarm, you can play Worship, which is an amazing piece of tech right now.
+Sanketh Bhaskar (S3) Well what you described here is what I want, creature swarm. Boosting small humans and angels, that sort of thing. The only problem is that I'm really good at building decks. What is "worship"?
All the tokens can block really well and late with the anthems are effective attackers with evasion. However when it comes to pure aggressive speed, the Stompy build is better.
Does the upgrade of Sorin over Honor of the Pure affect the mana curve at all? Also, why no Relic of Progenitus? By the way, already ordered the deck as it is with the upgraded Sorins, can't wait for it to arrive, I am sure I won't be let down :D
Naturally it does affect the curve but adding one or two Sorins won't be a problem for this deck as it's not super fast anyway. We could not include Relic of Progenitus because it's over $1. Glad to hear you will try out the deck, we had an awesome time testing it ;).
Nice work! Please more modern vids like these! Do you think this deck could win at FNM? Modern tokens is much stronger then people think it is. What do u think of guys like Sin Collector and Child of the Night and Wall of Omens? Lifelink is huge when u want to win against other creature decks. And my all star card is Foul-Tongue Shriek, wins insane matches ! And I think to have Banishing Light or Oblivion Ring 2 of in the main board is sweet. The sideboard is awesome! :D I just think the deck will lose more in the 1st truns than late, thats why I play this cards above. Any anwers would be coo! :D Again nice job!
Hi +Nikos Cadi, sounds like you are already having a blast with your decks :D. We don't really like Sin Collector or Child of Night but Wall of Omens is not bad. The problem with lifelink is that although it stops you from losing it doesn't help you win (i.e kill your opponent). Foul-Tongue Shriek does due that which is why it's better. In conclusion this deck wins about 25% of the time during competitive FNM against top tier decks. Realistically we believe this is pretty good for the budget.
this account helped me so much! thank you! now I ask for one more thing! Bant company; or Bant in general is such a common issue for me in casual play or Amy other format: its too good! could there be a deck that is budget and beat one?
Hi there! Good stuff decks are difficult because they don't use synergy to win but just use the best cards available. Because of this bant decks for example have no inherent weakness and so are difficult to hard counter. You could say their only weakness is using all the most expensive cards in the format. Why not try our Modern mono green budget Stompy deck and see how it does?
+Budget MTG Decks honestly if you get to turn 6 and you still haven't won with this deck it is probably worth it. As long as they don't have trample there is really no shortage of blocking creatures. And 20 lifelink vampires or maybe more.
Hey guys luv your vids I think there awesome, just wanted to ask if u guys could make a Zurgo or Uril the mistalker commander build next that would be awesome
There are similarities with the event deck +zorbratron. However so does any White/Black Tokens build. That being said, if you can find the modern event deck for $45 we think that would be an excellent deal too.
+Budget MTG Decks i agree. i like the deck that you have built as i bought the modern event deck and i traded/ cracked the right cards to make the deck even better. keep it up
you guys are all about budget decks so why not make pauper decks? A top tier pauper deck is cheaper than this tier 3 modern deck. It also doesn't rotate like modern.
You are right +Mansur Deffala, Pauper decks would also be right up our alley. We just decided to branch into Modern first as there was more demand for it.
love that you are suggesting non budget options. great video
Due to popular demand +Seth Chapman ;)
make more budget modern decks
love the non budget card options to the right for further study. keep it up good sirs.
Super clear and comprehensive, non budget options listed without being in your face, turn one ideal progression, this video has it all! This is everything I'm looking for in a deck building video! Awesome work, guys!
Thanks +Farron Ager! We are very happy you approve of the video ;)
Great video! Much faster build than the modern event deck, and the upgrade options is a brilliant idea. This build is also pretty easy to build on and update as cards get rotated out of standard - I already have a few in to test.
I love the layout of this deck tech, giving the budget version and showing beside it the non-budget upgrade. This makes it nice and easy for people who have the upgraded card in their collection to swap out the card! Very nice touch!
Thanks +koreandog77, but it wasn't our idea. We added it due to popular demand ;).
Please continue this series, you are really competent and fun!
Thanks for the encouragement! We'll see what we can do!
This is great. I just realized a couple months ago that modern is a format I'd like to get into. I can't keep up with standard. I noticed this is the only modern video you guys have up so far but let me say I really enjoyed it and hope you make more. I would like to make a white weenie deck that could be upgraded, but this is a great budget option until I can get a WW rolling. I do have a budget goblins deck too that I put together about a month ago. I know it won't stand up to the tier one decks but at least I have a modern deck that could be fun to play and steal a win here and there. This deck tech showed me another possible budget option that could do the same.
Yeah we are busy getting more modern decks built and tested. However next Saturday the next modern video will come out. If you like a devastatingly fast deck, you will like this one ;).
Love the deck, fantastic base I think, glad I have a playset of thoughtseize to start upgrading
Glad you like it +Noah Llorens, those thoughseizes are going to be devastating against your opponents :D
Awesome! I love that you give the non-budget upgrade options. I'm going to try out this deck for sure. I can't wait for the next one. Thank you so much, you guys are really inspiring!
+Steel Dom I noticed something. You say "3 copies of duress" but the video states 4. It must be three, otherwise you've got a 61 card deck ;-)
Awesome complement +Steel Dom :). We also noticed that the video shows 4x instead of 3x. We have modified it with annotations but unfortunately won't show on mobile devices.
I've got a similar deck in bant colors. it's pretty successful in competition and very fun in casual. the deck cost me a little under 80 bucks but can be seriously upgraded with a pair of snapcaster mage's. deck list is followed:
azorius charm X2
simic charm X2
birds of paradise X4
Geist of Saint Taft X2
unbridled growth X2
muddle the mixture X3
beck/call X3
swan song X3
flurry of wings X3
raise the alarm X4
lingering souls X4
curse of swine X3
intangible virtue X4
sram's expertise X1
elixir of immortality X1
your lands will change as you get used to the deck. I do recommend the gates and the bant 3 color lands, they do work.
sideboard a pair of bower passage, a copy of bident of thassa, a copy of aura shards, and a pair of quickening.
this plays so well I couldn't resist putting up. lots of draw through token generation and searching for beck/call is nice with muddle. muddle pulls must cards in deck! your counters and removal make more tokens! giving your opponent/s petty creatures for their absurd sorceries and instants is super funny. fog? 2/2 bird. that's a cool precursor golem! how about 3 pigs? have fun.
Cool thanks for sharing!
I've played budget Izzet Blitz in modern tournaments and done very well with it. That should be your next deck tech.
We are currently working on a budget build of Izzet Delver +Steven Doherty. We will also have a look at Blitz.
Can you guys do a budget edh deck with Sidisi as the commander?
Hi +Gabriel Luebcke, we will add her to our list!
Thanks
Good deck. A few things to watch out for: Illness in the ranks, Languish, Festergloom, and Bile Blight.
That's right, board wipes and anti-token strategies are a hard counter to this deck.
How about saprolings? Both token and tribal.
Archetype of Courage works really well with this deck if you have it handy. especially if you use the Vault to buff your tokens and then have FS/DT/LL tokens of death!
It's a fun card +Michael Nahirniak, and good in combination with the Vault. However we noticed that at 3 mana we really need to be putting down tokens and just a 2/2 was not enough, even with its ability.
It does because a 3/3 or 4/4 depending on the number of Honor of the Pure's out, but your right, you need tokens out nearly every turn to overwhelm your enemy, might be nice to have in two headed giant play as a companion deck in concert then.
Actually, this is a really good introduction video for anyone interested in this kind of deck. Explains very well the way of pilot the deck, and even suggest ways to improve the deck. Really, a good video!!! =)
Appreciate you taking the time to complement us +Raimundo Pilotto! ^^
Glad to see you guys mowing down on modern prices! Always exited to watch ones of your videos ;). Can you add Rith to your edh budget series possible generals list please? Thanks a ton for the deck tech and videos!
Glad to see you talking the time to complement us +Gordon Hewitt ;). We will see what we can do regarding Rith.
David, I've really enjoyed your Commander series and have recently built soul sisters for modern. I noticed the r/u delver deck you did and I might build it :) Please continue to make more modern decks. I know this can be tricky with cards having to be under $2, but I wanted to let you know I found great success (very nice, I like) at my local card shop playing soul sisters WITHOUT the serra ascendants! Of course, I recently added them to complete my own list, but here's what I played with at the VERY start. Feel free to feature this list in an upcoming video and make changes as you like.

Especially against aggro decks (burn, elves, etc) the soul's attendants and wardens will net you incredible life. Started with a martyr in hand? play it turn one, dump your land turn 2 and reveal to a sack for 12-15 life on turn 2. Get squadron hawk to refill your hand for another brutal martyr activation. Need more life? Leave ajani's pridemate on the field and watch him grow as you cast ranger of eos with a warden or two on the field, search up more wardens and drop them or a spectral procession for massive life gain.

I love this deck, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite modern decks among my collection of 3 (pili-pala combo and elves, BOTH budget!!)
Hi there! The list looks sweet, please go to our Facebook page and send us a message from there so we can ask you a few questions about the deck. facebook.com/budgetmtgdecks/
Sent you a message :)
What do you guys think of Devouring Light? I find it nice with Intangible Virtue!
Devouring right would indeed work fine in this deck!
It may be more useful for a more white-heavy deck, but Charge Across the Araba (0.01 tix) is a solid budget card for tokens. I've closed out quite a few games with it. Maybe 1 or 2x would work if there's room for it.
It could work, however we found 5 mana to be a bit steep in modern for this kind of an effect. Especially if it get's countered you are in big trouble! ;)
It certainly can be risky and the 5 mana is high, but I found it to be a great way to close a game if you know that you can get the damage through - if they're tapped out, no blockers, no Fog potential, etc. I first saw it in an article from Craig Wescoe and I think he ran 2x in a Pro Tour in 2012. magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=10796
May we recommend Guardians' Pledge to finish out the game. The 3 mana makes it much more reasonable.
I like it!
I'm very happy to see a modern deck tech and definitely think you guys should make more of these in the future.
That being said i never was a fan of token strategies, aren't these kinds of decks incredibly easy to counter? The way i see it there are good sideboard cards available to most colors that allow them to pretty singnificantly up their win% against any token strategy.
Am I wrong here?
Thanks for letting us know +XlllThirteen, more deck techs are in the works ;). Regarding the token strategy, we have noticed that it works quite well, but yes there are counters to the strategy. On the other hand the hand disruption cards help mitigate that problem.
Between all 3 of you're modern budget decks, wich one would you say is more effective overall?
Mono green stompy. It's probably the most consistent.
Can we get an updated list of this already amazing content! 🙏🏽
very good video!
thank you very much, tomorrow I am going to get a few of those cards.
could you please add a deck-overview in the end?
The deck list can be found in the description of the video ;)
I would love to see some more modern budget decks!!
We just published a Blue Red Delver deck tech.
Awesome!!! We will check it out!
one criticism, I am a soul sisters player, and 4 wind brisk heights can really hurt as a top deck in some scenarios, I would run two to three(personally).
Do you have an idea how to get a Budget solution for "Dark Confidant" and "Kozileks Inquisition"?
None for Dark confidant +Alucard “Fencing Dante” Alighieri, but you could use Despise or Duress instead of Inquisition of Kozilek.
Thank you very much C:
We actually have a substitute for Dark confidant +Alucard “Fencing Dante” Alighieri. You can use "Dark Tutelage" instead.
When you said "what if they are running lots of multi colored creatures" **Radiant Purge** ! Its white's version of doomblade and it hits multi color enchantments as a bonus.
It is a fine card indeed ;).
Still waiting for the completion of the Ravnica Guilds Duel Deck Series!
Next week we will be filming Rakdos +The BlackCoated Man :)
Budget MTG Decks Sweet!
What about elspeth sun champion? She might be a little late game but she gives tokens AND she can kill everything else. Also, I'm thinking about adding either Seeker of the Way or myth realized because of the massive amount of noncreature spells, does flashback trigger prowess?
Elspeth Sun Champion we found to be a bit slow for modern. We think you will find that Seeker of the way and Myth Realized do not optimally make use of the token strategy. Flashback does trigger prowess as you are casting the spell (from your graveyard).
How's this do against the usual modern decks like burn, infect, bogles, tron, affinity, kiki-chord and eldrazi, or even tier 2 decks like stompy and martyr proc?
Hi +Justin Stark, against tier 1 non budget it can usually scrape a win in 25% of the cases. Tier 2 non budget it becomes more like 45% of the time. We have not tested it against Eldrazi though.
I was going to suggest you to offer non-budget upgrades but you already thought of it! Nice job! One card that I think is underused/estimated in token strategies is Coat of Arms. let's say you play a spectral procession with a coat of arms on the field. That makes them all 3/3 flyers (which you probably paid 3 mana for). very nice except a bit slow
also love this channel. you deserve more subs!!!
need more of these type of vids.
Then we shall have to make more +Paul Olson.
This is great! I'm putting it together with a few of my own changes. I've never played Modern before (I mainly play Commander), but I think this will be a fun deck to start with.
It sure is fun, be sure to let us know how it does!
Sorry I'm so late with my reply! I honestly got my ass handed to me; definitely not the deck's fault! The problem existed between the table and the chair. Playing my first modern tournament proved once again that I'm a Commander player through and through. I still had a blast though! The deck was fun to play.
Would you consider any of the elspeth walkers in this deck? Mainly sun's champion and elspeth tirel are the two i'm wondering about
Even though Sorin would be better you could instead use Elspeth +KolyatKrios. In that case we would suggest you go for Elspeth, Knight-Errant. If you can't use her then go for Elspeth Tirel. Elspeth, Sun's Champion is too much mana to be able to make the impact you want on turn 6.
Great video! Subscribed! Just discovered your channel and it's amazing! So many great decks. can't wait to tell my friends about guys.
Thanks for spreading the word +Thecrocodiemanmask 1985, we really appreciate it ;).
Great deck tech. Thanks guys!
Glad to hear that you liked it +Avery Johnson.
Would you recommend running Secure the Wastes if I already have them? If so, how many and replacing what card(s)?
You could take out 2 midnight haunting +Pyyraus. Secure the wastes is a good finisher.
I can see it being difficult to cast spectral procession turn 3 while running only 4 plains
It's fine, we have 12 lands which produce white mana.
That's true, and I guess with Duress you'll want to see some black in the first few turns as well
the initiative to cheapen a format and remain competitive is fantastic, congratulations
Would Elspeth, Sun's Champion, be too much for this deck, or a good add to it?
That planeswalkeer is too expensive, better go for Sorin, Solemn Visitor if you are looking to upgrade with a planeswalker.
Budget MTG Decks I thought about that, too, Thanks. I also added Impact tremors with a splash of red for it.
Nice presentation, lads. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub +Aratak711!
Amazing deck
Hey guys! Keep up with the great work! I have a suggestion: Nowadays I'm looking for a budget Sigarda (the one from Shadows Over Innistrad) Human Tribal EDH deck. Could you add her to the list to do a deck around her?
Thank you a lot!
No problem +Marcos Aguilar, we will see what we can do! :D
What's your answer to board wipes? My friend runs x4 Kozilek's return in his eldrazi deck and it just pisses all over my fun :(
Rootborn Defenses in the sideboard.

Budget MTG Decks Thanks.
I really liked the video, keep up with the amazing work guys.
But It got me wondering, is this replacing the EDH deck tech of the month or are we getting another video soon?
Thanks +Caio Italiano Pires, it's not a replacement for the EDH videos. However we will be a bit behind on the next one as next week we are filming a full set review for Shadows over Innistrad. Filming and editing 5 videos over the span of one week is going to delay the rest a bit. Sorry about that.
What I've been looking for is a really good mono-white deck that can hold it's own, but I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars. Budget decks tend to fall short of that. Anyone got any good ideas?
Well, mono-white is typically good with lots of tokens/creatures/weenies, so that's a place to start, and if you do some sort of creature swarm, you can play Worship, which is an amazing piece of tech right now.
So there's a couple directions you could go - Soul Sisters (life gain), White Weenie, or Tokens (Both are go wide aggro)
+Sanketh Bhaskar (S3) Well what you described here is what I want, creature swarm. Boosting small humans and angels, that sort of thing. The only problem is that I'm really good at building decks. What is "worship"?
Well Worship the card
Enchantment that Makes it so that you cannot die by damage if you have a creature.
Would this do well against an aggro heavy meta, or would I perform better with the Stompy build?
All the tokens can block really well and late with the anthems are effective attackers with evasion. However when it comes to pure aggressive speed, the Stompy build is better.
Does the upgrade of Sorin over Honor of the Pure affect the mana curve at all? Also, why no Relic of Progenitus? By the way, already ordered the deck as it is with the upgraded Sorins, can't wait for it to arrive, I am sure I won't be let down :D
Naturally it does affect the curve but adding one or two Sorins won't be a problem for this deck as it's not super fast anyway. We could not include Relic of Progenitus because it's over $1. Glad to hear you will try out the deck, we had an awesome time testing it ;).
love celestial crusader in my Token deck
It is powerful +eDDy L, but we found that in a Modern matchup it was too slow vs the Honor of the Pure.
Please, post more modern budget decks!
They are in production +Víctor Tomás Pérez.
What is your opinion over thraben inspector for this deck?
Instead of which card?
@@BudgetMTGDecks maybe over the pair of ultimate price and doom blade or if we want removal for those slots maybe go for the throat or cast down.🤔
But then you are still not opening up any space for the Thraben correct?
@@BudgetMTGDecks true it might not be good as I thought.
surprised you guys went into other formats
As are we +Chang Musty, but there was a lot of demand so we thought it was the logical step.
Could you possibly make a Black, Green, Blue modern deck
What is the theme you are looking for?
would phantom general be good?
Unfortunately at 4 mana it's too slow for modern. The same effect is bette supplied at 2 mana with intangible virtue.
Nice work! Please more modern vids like these! Do you think this deck could win at FNM? Modern tokens is much stronger then people think it is. What do u think of guys like Sin Collector and Child of the Night and Wall of Omens? Lifelink is huge when u want to win against other creature decks. And my all star card is Foul-Tongue Shriek, wins insane matches ! And I think to have Banishing Light or Oblivion Ring 2 of in the main board is sweet. The sideboard is awesome! :D I just think the deck will lose more in the 1st truns than late, thats why I play this cards above. Any anwers would be coo! :D Again nice job!
Hi +Nikos Cadi, sounds like you are already having a blast with your decks :D. We don't really like Sin Collector or Child of Night but Wall of Omens is not bad. The problem with lifelink is that although it stops you from losing it doesn't help you win (i.e kill your opponent). Foul-Tongue Shriek does due that which is why it's better. In conclusion this deck wins about 25% of the time during competitive FNM against top tier decks. Realistically we believe this is pretty good for the budget.

I was going to say we should play city of Brass; but it is only a little over 2 dollars
But it's a great non-budget upgrade +Adam Kaiser.
this account helped me so much! thank you! now I ask for one more thing!
Bant company; or Bant in general is such a common issue for me in casual play or Amy other format: its too good! could there be a deck that is budget and beat one?
Hi there! Good stuff decks are difficult because they don't use synergy to win but just use the best cards available. Because of this bant decks for example have no inherent weakness and so are difficult to hard counter. You could say their only weakness is using all the most expensive cards in the format. Why not try our Modern mono green budget Stompy deck and see how it does?
I'll give it a try! Thanks !
sorin grim nemesis is just so perfect for this
A 6 mana planeswalker might be a bit too expensive to cast for this deck. But that's just our opinion.
+Budget MTG Decks honestly if you get to turn 6 and you still haven't won with this deck it is probably worth it. As long as they don't have trample there is really no shortage of blocking creatures. And 20 lifelink vampires or maybe more.
Well we are always open to being proven wrong, why not give it a try and let us know how it does during FMN?
like the vid. im almost finished upgraded my tokens deck. just need bitterblossoms and fetchlands :)
Thanks +James Bentley, bitterblossoms would also be sick in this deck :D.
I always put spring in this deck
Which spring card are you referring to?
Budget MTG Decks oh sorry I meant sorin solemn visitor
Yep Sorin is excellent in black white tokens.
this was a great video, keep
up the good work!
Thanks for the words of encouragement +Pyyraus. We were not sure how a budget modern deck would be received by the community.
if you want b/w token in modern buy the event deck
100$ right now
60 here
Hey guys luv your vids I think there awesome, just wanted to ask if u guys could make a Zurgo or Uril the mistalker commander build next that would be awesome
Thanks +John Segura, we will add Zurgo to our to do list for sure.
almost all of these cards are in the modern event deck and even some no budget upgrades
100$ now for that event deck :/
Oh it's much cheaper in the UK now
awesome vid like always
Thanks +Dosant Tomas!
condemn can work as great budget removal.
never mind. just realized it only hits attacking creatures.
Just buy the modern event deck, which is essentially what you guys have made
There are similarities with the event deck +zorbratron. However so does any White/Black Tokens build. That being said, if you can find the modern event deck for $45 we think that would be an excellent deal too.
+Budget MTG Decks i agree. i like the deck that you have built as i bought the modern event deck and i traded/ cracked the right cards to make the deck even better. keep it up
+Budget MTG Decks It's gone up significantly, Amazon holds it at over $100 now.
I'm making this deck
Go get'em!
i love this deck do modern infect!
That is indeed a very good budget option +Jay Welch. It will definitely make its way on the channel.
Nice, Modern:D GO GO^^
Thanks +Ls!
Would be cool if you make a red deck wins burn deck ;)
It's in the planning +Mtg K-El-K-UC...
YASSSSSSSSSSSS YOU LISTENEDDDDDDDDDDDD YASSSSSSSSSSSSS
Sadly most of these budget decks still dies to storm on Turn 3.
It is tough for any deck to do well against a deck which wins on turn 3 though.
MORE MTG MODERN DECK
There are more in the works +eds does
Budget MTG Decks YAY!
you guys are all about budget decks so why not make pauper decks? A top tier pauper deck is cheaper than this tier 3 modern deck. It also doesn't rotate like modern.
You are right +Mansur Deffala, Pauper decks would also be right up our alley. We just decided to branch into Modern first as there was more demand for it.
Dude this is nothing compared to $10 mono green modern infect
Excellent, just post the link for our viewers to enjoy.
oh I remember those days. That was a thing until glistener elf spiked for some reason.
It is .50 cents... the pump spells on the other hand...
7th!
8th!
This is a rip off of the Modern Deck with suttle differences.
All Modern archetypes share the same basis, it's the subtle differences that make it original. In this case tweaking black white tokens to be budget.
Yes!
