Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"The latest in my series of budget decks. The rules are simple: cheapest printing according to Card Kingdom, not counting basic lands, up to $50. Previously I had built a Boris vehicles/mounts deck and a Simic Cascade deck, so I decided to finish out the color wheel with mono black!\nTurns out that mono black is incredibly powerful with an unlimited budget but surprisingly difficult to build on just $50. I eventually settled on Baron Helmut Zemo because the card itself is cheap and its own engine; all I have to do is lean into its strengths!\nBudget John Wick is a Voltron deck, pure and simple. Dump cards into your graveyard while bulking up Zemo, then use his Boast ability to pump him up even more! Hit fast, hit hard, and also accept that you probably aren’t gonna be the last one standing. But you’ll def impact the game in a big way!\n"}]}
