Hey guys! With the Singapore Open coming up, I’m thinking of building a budget deck to compete. Got around SGD 100 to spend lah. Any recommendations? I usually play at Games Haven and I see a lot of players using midrange strategies. Maybe something with Golgari or Mono-Red? What's the meta looking like now ah? Any cards you think I should look out for?
I feel you bro! Last year I built a budget Rakdos deck for the Malaysia Championships, and it did okay for the price. You can get some cheap cards like Bloodthirsty Adversary and Fable of the Mirror-Breaker. Check out Grey Ogre Games, they usually have good deals on singles. Also, don’t forget to join our local Facebook group, a lot of us share budget brewing tips there!
Wah, SGD 100 not easy ah, but totally can! I once made a budget Mono-Green Stompy for around SGD 80, just need to get a few cheap creatures like Pelt Collector and Steel Leaf Champion. Look out for local events like the Indonesia Open, some of the players there are super chill and you might pick up some budget tips. Plus, the kopi will be good, you will enjoy the vibes!
Eh, don't forget to consider the weather when you play lah! Hot days can make it tough to concentrate. But if you’re playing indoors at Flagship Games, should be okay. Also, I heard that some players are trying out budget Azorius Control lately, using cards like Detention Sphere and some cheap creature removal. If you can find those in trades, even better! Good luck, bro!
