Hello, and welcome back to another edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the article series that (fondly) remembers when fast food places had actual dollar menus instead of 'value menus'. You aren't fooling anyone with that nonsense. Also, tangentially related, this is the article series that builds entire EDH decks that contain no cards that cost […]

Low Market — Ramos Artifact Tokens
January 24, 2018 by
Quinn Miller 
All That Glitters... ...is sometimes treasure! Welcome back to Low Market, EDHREC's budget Commander deckbuilding series. Keeping in with the recently-released Rivals of Ixalan, this is the space where I would normally select my favorite legend from the set and whip up a budget deck list. This time around, though, I'm taking a slightly different […]

Un-Mander Showdown — X vs Sen Triplets
January 3, 2018 by
Joseph Schultz 
X Gon' Give it to Ya Un-mander is here for only a few more weeks, but before the format goes back to normal, we need to have at least one more silver-bordered Showdown. Unstable gave us a commander that easily wins the Most-Difficult-Card-To-Search-By-Name award: X. This sneaky Inspector Gadget spoof infiltrates an opponent's hand and plays […]

Weird Harvest — Hail to the King, Baby!
October 12, 2017 by
Christopher Russell 
Last time on Weird Harvest we explored the new lands of Ixalan with Captain Lannery Storm. This week I thought we would do something a bit different and step away from red and cover a mono-colored deck that is similar, but different enough in focus that it isn't a rehash. Who needs to turn trash into […]

Every week, I gaze balefully at the perpetually empty "Planeswalker" subcategory of my deck template, yearning for the day that I will stuff it to the brim with planeswalkers.
