Low Market — An Author Twice Cursed
Overwhelming Splendor art by Richard Wright Darn You to Heck When the two suns of Amonkhet were naught but distant lights on the horizon, we knew to expect two things: top-down Egyptian themes, and top-down Nicol Bolas themes. What I did not expect was a smattering of curses, which (save for and ) are the […]

Hello everyone and welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews! Typically, this article builds entire EDH decks in which no single card costs more than $1.

Low Market — The Scorpion God Elemental Tribal
The Scorpion God art by Lius Lasahido The People Have Spoken! Welcome to Low Market, brought to you this week by extra democracy!

Ultra Budget Brews — Tibor and Lumia
Welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews, the article series that builds EDH decks where every card costs less than $1.

Ultra Budget Brews — Anax and Cymede
Welcome to the 5th edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the series that builds entire EDH decks where nothing costs more than $1! (I totally should have named this series Dollar General. To you, the reader, I apologize.) Recently, I discussed how the rules of EDH tend to lead to a few different archetypes of decks […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Amonkhet Edition
Hello and welcome to Ultra Budget Brews! Typically this article series builds entire EDH decks where no card costs more than $1, but this week I decided to do something a little different. As you all know, Amonkhet is now legal, meaning a ton of new cards were just released into the wild. This means […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Heartless Hidetsugu
Welcome to the 3rd edition of Ultra Budget Brews, the series in which we build entire EDH decks in which every card costs under $1. EDH as a format lends itself to certain kinds of decks. Much of this can be attributed to three rules that are a part of the format's foundation: 100 card […]
Ultra Budget Brews — Jalira, Master Polymorphist
Welcome back to my series, Ultra Budget Brews, where we build an entire commander deck where no card, commander included, costs more than one US dollar. Any longtime commander player can tell you that certain commanders and color combinations often carry very specific stigmas that often have a large impact on the game. If, for […]
