Hey everyone! With the Singapore Open coming up, I'm looking to brew a budget-friendly deck that can still hold its own. I’m not trying to break the bank lah, so trying to stick under $100 SGD. Anyone got suggestions or ideas? I heard mono-red aggro and budget control decks are doing well in the meta right now. Also, any thoughts on what to expect from the local scene? Let’s share our ideas and maybe even meet up at Games Haven or Grey Ogre Games to test our builds!
Yo, I feel you! Last year, I played a budget Rakdos Sacrifice deck and it surprised a lot of folks. Cards like Claim the Firstborn and Cauldron Familiar can be found for cheap, about $20 USD for the whole deck. Plus, it fits the meta really well with all those pesky creature decks around. Let’s meet at Flagship Games this weekend, we can brew together!
Wah, good to see this thread! I think budget Spirits deck can also do quite well. Spirits are fast and can dodge a lot of removal. You can build it for under $80 SGD if you pick up the right cards from Grey Ogre Games. Just keep an eye out for all the aggro decks, it’s hot in this weather, but even hotter in the meta right now, haha!
Eh, no need to forget about budget control, can consider Dimir Control too! With cheap counter spells and card draw, can stretch your budget to about $90 SGD. Check local distributors to grab some deals. I’m part of the local playgroup at my kopitiam, we meet every Friday to test what we’ve brewed. Lots of laughs and good food while we play, come join us!
