Notes
 
Budget Modifier: This deck will not get any cheaper than this, this is one of the cheapest decks that I plan to write about so I can't help you there. Although, if you do like this deck or want to have more success playing it and you have a few more dollars the first thing I would do is get a playset of Rakdos's Return and the lands to support it. Dragonskull Summit and Blood Crypt. If you go this way you can put in burn over the bad black removal like Tragic Slip and Ultimate Price for Searing Spear and Pillar of Flames, those kills most of the creatures, and sometimes players.

Tips: When sideboarding the Tormod's Crypt goes in for the UW Flash deck with Pike, and the Unburial Rites deck. Duress is for decks that Appetite for Brains is lacking, like Mono Red and UW Flash, Pithing Needle is for the Planeswalkers and Curse for Weenies. Good luck!


Sideboard:
4 Tormod's Crypt
4 Duress
4 Pithing Needle
3 Curse of Death's Hold
