Just play mono green infect. It can be as cheap as about 20 dollars and has a clear upgrade path.

Regarding Infect: Cut Noble Hierarch for a cheaper Mana dork. The Exalated ability can help push through the 10th infect damage occasionally, but it's a steep price to pay for that extra damage.

The land base uses 9 Fetchlands and 4 lands can be fetched with them. They are more for the landfall trigger, and all are meant to fetch a forest (either Forest or Breeding Pool). Change all the expensive Fetchlands into 4 Wooded Foothills and 4 Windswept Heath. Then add a 3rd Breeding Pool or Forest.

The sideboard runs 4 Tarmogoyf as an alternative beat down strat. This can be changed for something more budget or meta specific.

That's my early look suggestions

I pride you on bringing light to the prowess deck, as of recent in the meta I think it has been overshadowed a bit compared to where it used to be in the past. I’ve had friends make the deck competitive for under $150 and I just think it’s a great modern deck that sadly doesn’t see as much attention as it used to.

If this is not spoken, 8 Whack is a great budget brew for modern.

[jean-christophedancause]

Nice change on the video format, the addition of music is nice! I still miss the upside down adepts and the 4 dead okos!

[joshdavis]

Love the budget Merfolk list. I think Affinity is a great budget entry into the format, since you can make $100 lists that win t3 still, and I bought in with mono-red Burn, and slowly upgraded.

Love the video/format! Fantastic walkthrough of each decks, showing how to save in cost without cutting too much power! Thanks Nikachu!

[darylchiu]

Ooh, I'm digging the new intro.

Also, Swiftspear is love, Swiftspear is life. 🥰

[manuelcereijo]

Nice decks! I have a 50$ modern deck that I made just to laugh with my friends and was looking for a more meta one, and all the decks I considered you included them here! I decided for fetch less storm, and as the most expensive cards are the morphoses I also thought of cutting some steam vents and change them for fiery islets, so I can go into prowess, what I considered the best budget deck before I saw the potential of storm.

[TheRealSarceus]

Damn, I might have to give that prowess deck a try. Burn is my pride and joy but prowess seems right up my alley.

[methebest]

Woah the quality of the videos just skyrocketed! Nice!

[andrewhulle]

Awesome!! Thank you so much for putting this together! The decks look like a lot of fun and I enjoyed hearing your thought process on what concessions you made and some possible upgrade paths.

[attackkataka]

Was about to comment nika how do I modern with 0 moneys but you got me man you got me, keep up the good work

[benjaminkaye]

Love the infect nod at the beginning.
To make it cheaper, drop become immense and go to waterlogged groves and botanical for budget. Birds instead of nobles.

[roberteospeedwagon]

There is a budget affinity deck around £30

[erelfink]

I have been playing modern for the last five years and I think it is still great

[raoulkent]

What a great video, thanks for the good content :-)
It would be lovely to see more people join in on the fun (and add more voices for complaints at Wizards, reprint fetchlands!)

[Davisnacho]

Hardened Scales is a pretty good on a budget. If you proxy 15 cards you can build a version of it for somewhere between $50-$100. Yay for Basic Forests.

[KanuKing]

Awesome video man. I like the direction you are taking with the channel 🤙🏻
