My lowest TCGPlayer market price is currently $2.02 for my Modern Masters 2015 printing.
I just built this with using the totem armor and fight. I look forward to playing it
Jada?
Estrid Enchantress is my big non-goblin pet deck right now. I've been doing my best to not look too deep into the meta around her deckbuilding, but this vid gave me some solid ideas for things to start searching up on scryfall.
Btw, if anyone is looking to do some pricier upgrades to their Estrid list, if you have enough enchanted lands, she goes infinite with The Chain Veil so long as you can get a Mask on it. It's a pretty janky infinite with a lot of moving pieces and requires a solid payoff to do anything, and I really have never seen anyone get salty over it. Would definitely recommend lol
YAY. I have the Estrid Commander deck, and was looking for an interesting direction to take it in. For a less budget option: if you happen to have a copy of Doubling Season and/or Replenish (like I do) laying around…. Anyone got any other less budget friendly suggestions? Any special lands?
I was just looking at building this kind of deck! Thoughts on including some land animation and creature untapped for even more value?
Not super budget (in the US), but Garruk Wildspeaker could be a nice addition. Untaps 2 lands on plus, makes a 3/3 on minus and has an overrun ultimate
Imagine doing this with indestructible lands too.
09:49 Kelpie Guy!!! 😃
Estrid is one of my best decks. I focus on her -7 ability to get so many enchantments on the field
no Arbor Elf? it's cheap, just 1 mana. sure only for forests, but i imagine you might wanna enchant basic forests over some other lands anyway.
Great video Mitch!
whens the "break the bank" video coming out for this list?
How exactly can you go infinite with that last card? It seems you’re only limited to however many lands you have to turn into creatures.
Careful not to joke about this commander. Will Smith might slap you…. too soon?
Hmm, tempting. i mean thsi is generally how i built estrid (Enchant lands) but this si better version of it.
My heart weeps seeing not a single enchantress effect in this deck. Its a shame that all of them are, apparently, over $1. Even just a sram would be heinously powerful in this deck.
I want to play some fun decks with a budget but a lot of the ones that i want are now $100 or more decks.. yay. Even this one, shipping is $70 Wtf. The shipping for all of these decks for me at least doubles the price of the deck
Keep Chris Rock away from this woman
This is a spicy list! I’m pretty tempted to buy another Estrid so I can do this without pulling apart my tuned Estrid list I’m working with right now!
Something I’d LOVE to see is a deck built around repeatedly casting the “exile” spells like Emergency Powers and Temporal Mastery with something like Isochron Scepter and Narset’s Reversal, or maybe some Riftsweeper Blink/Pull from Eternity action. I just love the idea of taking the usual “No, you REALLY don’t get to cast this twice!”, restrictions on cards like Part the Waterveil and saying, “YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!?”
Been playing Estrid for a few years now, going down more of a control-Aura build with anti-attack and Pacifism-like effects. I’ve been bored with the deck lately and this could not have come at a better time.
Just get the precon she comes in and use tuvasa instead tho. So so so much more powerful than estrid. I used to run estrid after buying her precon and upgrading it and simply just swapping out the commanders was worth it alone.
I know it doesn't cost a dollar or less but if you can afford it (still worthy of a budget deck imo) I'd add in Seedborn Muse. Right now you can pick it up for less then $10 (depending on edition). That card is built for this kind of deck.
Hey look Will's wife is a Planeswalker
I got the precon deck as raffle. Cost me $10 for it. I’ve tinkered with it here and there. Now I think I’m going to make a cEDH deck out of it because of this video. Thank you!!!
Seems rad
Are you going to make a break the bank follow up as well?
Chamber of Manipulation would be a nice budget addition
Mitch, your channel is great, but Im not so certain about TCGplayer anymore; I applied your link, as Ive done in the past, and I get posted a bill of 230$. Why? 30$ cards, 200 shipping. Even after optimization, down to 130$ "Crazy, " I say," its never done that before" I go line by line, theres more than several cards(ISlands! PLains! mana cards!) defaulting to sellers that are shipping at 20$ a pop. "pourqoui?" Sez I, were I french. (nyet) So I send missives to 'help' resulting only in clearing my cart, BUT, also learning: theres a subscription priority service for TCGplayer now! Wow, thats convenient… I think Ive ordered 7 or so decks from these links, your vids, just during covid, and this is new. SO, I do line by line noting as page refreshes, SO do sellers, and the shipping gets bumped up, or availability changes: The subscription service is choking out the non. Whelp. The Prof keeps pitching to give money to local brick n mortar, it was just convenient to get it all in a few clicks. End of an era.
There's three non-budget cards I think would be great to fit in this deck:
– Nyxbloom Ancient (Triple mana)
– The Chain Veil (Infinite mana / loyalty counters)
– Helix Pinnacle (Alternate wincon)
i build this deck since estrid came out o;o i just stumbled on this lol amazing … would love to see a more expensive deck of this
