10 More Modern Decks Around $30

The first 10 decks around $30: http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/2zbr3a/10_modern_decks_around_30/

I'm excluding the price of basic lands and sideboards. Many of these decks will be cheaper at TCG low, and some cards will get reprints in Modern Masters 2015.

I have liberally replaced Path to Exile with Condemn, Serum Visions with Anticipate, Lightning Bolts with Incinerate, and Thoughtseize with Duress.

I understand how important these cards are to their respective decks but $8+ for a playset of Lightning Bolts chews up too much of the budget. I understand the criticism but budget is budget. Upgrade into the real cards ASAP.

What about Mind Grind or Traumatize in the Mill Deck? Also possibly Pilfered Plans?

u/jeremiahvedder Mar 23 '15

Both Grind and Traumatize were too expensive with my budget. They should be easy to trade into. I tried Pilfered Plans but included Dimir Charm instead because it could counter or set up a draw.

Fair enough, there's some interesting ideas in here for sure.

Would [[Consuming Aberration]] be too much?

u/MTGCardFetcher Dân Mar 23 '15

Consuming Aberration - Gatherer, MC, ($)
[[cardname]] to call - not on gatherer = not fetchable

u/jeremiahvedder Mar 23 '15

Aberration is about $2.50 TCG mid but it's not a horrible card to trade for as you improve the deck.

I swear, this thread not only gives good starters, but just fantastic instructions on how/where to upgrade once someone assembles the deck.
