If the phrase "current issue of Scrye" wasn't used in the rules, then maybe you can use really old copies of Scrye where prices were really, really low for certain cards...

Like waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when Moxes were still in the single digits... ;)

Use the hollow to regen your taunting elf. Is maze of Ith over $6. That would work also. How about albino trolls? It looks like a good aggressive deck. Should be a fun format but the deck checks will be hell.

All the deck ideas are great but the problem is that I'm a t2 player so all most of my stuff is t2. The only t1 stuff I have are Mox Diamonds, Mana Vaults, Null Brooch, etc. I also don't have the current Scrye, so I basically built a Common/Uncommon deck. I don't know what the price is for Y. Hollows, Avatar of Mights, Might of Oaks, etc.

by only having type 2 cards, you will be at a disadvantage. The majority of players play type 2 creating a demand for those cards. alot of the type two cards prices are inflated because they are type two. You should build a deck with mostly commons and uncommons like youve done, but rares from the rath cycle could be easy o get a hold of like overrun. if you have ophidians, play forbiddian it is a very good deck for type 1 and is inexpensive for most of the cards.

If at all possible try to get a hold of some Rogue Elephants
Skyshrould Elite, Elvish Spirit Guides, and Briar Shields.
All of those cards can be found at most card shop, usually
in the common section.

I have to disagree with most of the advise on this list. The tournament is going to be all decks that are <$6 a card from Scrye, which is notoriously overpriced. Additionally, Stompy functions on the assumption that there will be dual lands (Elite, Warbeast) and lots of Islands (as opposed to Mountians) and Necro (which is more than $6 in Scrye). Forbiddian doesn't work without Thawing Glaciers and Rishadan Port.

Here are the good T1 decks:
Donate
Zoo (Serendib/Savanah Lion/Jackal Pups)
Necro
Ophidian
Oath of Druids

all of those are way too expensive to play in you league. That leaves the second teir decks:

Sligh
Hatred
Stompy
Necro-less Black control

you can't play real control, because you need Moxen for that, and Disk is at least $6 in Scrye. Additionally, most control decks feature at least one key rare card that costs over $6. Finally, Hatred's/Black Weenie's inclusion is dependent on Hatred or Bad Moon being <$6. so here's the metagame for the under $6 league:


Sligh beats hatred, Black Weenie
Hatred beats stompy, White Weenie, Black Control
Stompy beats Sligh, White Weenie
White Weenie beats Sligh, Black Weenie, Black Control
Black Control beats Sligh, Stompy, Black Weenie

Black control
4 Vendetta
4 Vicious Hunger
4 Diabolical Edict
3 Contagion
3 Spinning Darkness
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Hypnotic Specter
4 Wall of Souls
4 Black Knight
2 Drain Life
1 Demonic Tutor
4 Mishra's Factory
19 Swamp

SB (unless there actually are Blue decks)
4 Massacre
4 Perish
4 Death Stroke
1 Drain Life
2 Subversion

White Weenie
4 Mother of Runes
4 Soul Warden
4 White Knight
4 Soltari Priest
4 Warrior en-Kor
3 Paladin en-Vec/Thermal-Nightwing Glider
3 Empyrial Armor
3 Spirit Link
2 Cho-Manno's Blessing
1 Enlightened Tutor
4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Winds of Rath
22 Plains

SB
3 Disenchant
2 Enlightened Tutor
1 Spirit Link
1 Cho-Manno's Blessing
4 Honorable Passage
1 Light of Day
1 Conversion
1 Absolute Grace

I well, I'm back. I did pretty good. 2-3. I took my green deck, modified with your ideas. Thanks. I added some Hurricanes and Streams of Life. I took out the Treasher Beasts. I won against a Suicide Black deck and a Burn deck. The Blastoderms really helped against the burn deck. I lost to a counter-fish deck and to other burn decks. But the important things is that I had fun.

Next week is type 2

Whoo-Hoo!

Later in the week, I'll post the four decks that I'm thinking of taking, so I can get some feedback on them.







Thank for the help everybody...
