MTGA’s metagame is in a good place right now and there’s plenty of powerful decks to play. However, this also means there are tons of Mythics you need to craft, and sometimes we don’t feel like shilling more cash for a fresh deck. Good thing EarlyGame is here to show you some amazing budget decks you can play without breaking the bank!

You know the drill by now. Listed below are a few powerful and fun decks. They are all reasonably priced and since many of the cards are old, chances are you already own them. In addition, you can just copy the lists from here and open the in-game deck builder and the decks will build themselves! Easy-peasy!

Yeah, there are a couple of Mythics here, but the rest are generally low power cards that just work together. As an added bonus, this deck is really fun for new players, so if you’re just beginning your MTGA journey, or want to show the game to a friend, this is not a bad kit… and it won’t crush your wallet!

There are two rules in the Rakdos club. One, Rakdos is always cool. Two, Rakdos is never not cool. You’ll need to craft Kroxa, Titan of Death’s Hung in order to get the most out of this one, but the power and fun factor of the deck will make it worth it, not to mention most other cards are super accessible. We recommend it!
