Title: [Standard] Budget RW Path of Mettle
Post by: ComingUpCway84 on January 10, 2018, 09:38:21 pm
Budget RW Path of Mettle (https://deckstats.net/decks/13738/889256-budget-rw-path-of-mettle?revision=0)

A budget-oriented aggro deck focused on using aggressive cards with the relevant keywords allowing us to flip a Path of Mettle (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Path+of+Mettle) as early as turn 3.  PoM is an extremely underestimated card which, once flipped, offers not only a repeatable source of damage, but also a way to get rid of huge problem creatures like Bristling Hydra (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Bristling+Hydra) and Longtusk Cub (http://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?lng=en&card=Longtusk+Cub). The deck needs some work, and I feel it'll get a lot better if we another set of RW dual lands that even have the chance of coming in untapped; but as it stands this seems to be working as a pretty fun and powerful budget option. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

What's not budget about it? It's under 100 quid on TCG Player, like 25 Tix and about 35 euro on MagicCardMarket (personally where I do my card shopping). It's half the price of the two big decks in the format (until today, that is) and while it's not a hyper budget list, apart from the necessary dual land there is a grand total of one addition to the deck that breaks the tenner mark.

In a lot of people's opinion, don't list your deck as budget if it's over $75 unless it's $100 and solid for competitive FNM like Budget Magic on mtggoldfish
