Affordable ~ Legacy Deck 2018

As legacy goes, this is a slow deck. Thus, I have cards to slow it down: Fog, Moment's Peace, Tangle, and Undergrowth; this sort of theme is common to a few of my decks.  Then, I have Blanchwood Armor, Primal Bellow, and Gigantiform, which are designed to pump smaller creatures that cost 1-2 mana, such as Dryad Sophisticate, and Treetop Scout, such that both are seemingly unblockable, and even if they are there is always Rancor that connects well with Blanchwood Armor.

CMDR - Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest - Golgari

This deck is primarily a 1 on 1 deck, but it would still probably do well in a 3 player game.  One major issue is that a player can't just sacrifice a permanent.  That condition must be granted to it by a card other than Mazirek.

This makes these enchantments into staples:

1.  Awakening Zone - Every turn brings permissibly sacrificial Eldrazi token.

2.  From Beyond - Again every turn brings a permissibly sacrificial Eldrazi token.

Also, I believe that in all green infect decks adding pump spells like Invigorate (for no cost opponent(s) lifegain means nothing, because this game is about poison, which is different).  Pumpers like Groundswell, Phytoburst, Vines of Vastwood, and Might of Old Krosa, also work very well.

There are some sacrificial artifacts like Elixir of Immortality, Traveler's Amulet, Nihil Spellbomb.

There are also some sacrificial lands as well like, Terminal Moraine, Terramophic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, and Panoramas. 

Throne of Geth is very important as well because it enables any artifact to be sacrificed.

Another idea is to cause other players to sacrifice permanents, thus beefing alreadry incredibly powerful creatures with infect.  In commander, the rule still holds that only 10 poison counters must be dealt for a win.  That means that a infect creature of the same power and toughness is 4x as powerful as a creature that does regular damage.  However, it is 15 poison counters that must be dealt for a win in a game of 2 headed giant.

Oran-Rief, the Vastwood		Invigorate	Toxic Nim
Terminal Moraine		Overrun	Septic Rats
Sol Ring		Triumph of Hordes	Contagious Nim
		Increasing Savagery
		Groundswell
		Might of Oaks

Turn smaller creatures into behemoths by using cards like Gigantiform, Epic Proportions, Overrun, Overwhelming Stampede, and Creeperhulk:

Suddenly Glistener becomes an 8/8 trampler, with infect.  That plus the rest should be enough to put just about any opponent away.

UltraAffordable Yeva Commander Deck

Commander Yeva, Nature’s Herald

Prices relativistic as of roughly 9/13/2015 at StarCityGames.com

I can’t guarantee that you will win many games with this deck.  However, it is fun and inexpensive, and it will probably keep you in the game longer than most decks.

The main objective of this deck is to defend oneself, buying time until a late game kill.  This means hiding oneself from immediate attack, and it is accomplish by the commander, Yeva, Nature’s Herald.  

One reason that this deck is so casual is that deathtouch only sends creatures to the graveyard, which can be beneficial to the opponent in the case of more competitive decks.

Defenders and creatures with regenerate also provide defense.  Mana abilities may also create a means to deploy the defense.  Also, with respect to the walls, cards like Primal Bellow, Giant Growth, and Vines of Vastwood may make it seem like they have deathtouch.

There is also 3 kinds of ramping in this deck, including elves, defenders, and spells.  Elf mana ramping works well with commander, Yeva, especially because she is an elf.

Thoughts to go with this deck include Ground Seal, Axebane Guardian, artifacts that give flying, and Vine Trellis.
