wide . wide . wide . wide <| sep |> Marcus kisses her back , and upon noticing the pendant , he asks . I never asked , what was that one for ? The necklace thingy . <| sep |> Clobber ! !<| sep |> A doodle . I doodle . You too . You do doodle too . <| sep |> How is online play for Xbox 360 . <| sep |> Definitely getting these today at Walmart so I can make this exact thing so I can have them when the munchies kick in . <| sep |> Landry is the most consistent of the bunch . I don ' t really like his positioning as Ajayi is just gonna run all over SF , but he ' s a guaranteed 5 point floor no matter what . <| sep |> I ' m aware of that , but that deck building philosophy can be applied to noncompetitive formats as well . The difference shouldn ' t be in how you distribute your card slot but in which cards get attributed to those slots . There are plenty of ramp options , card draw options and selection options that cost very little money and could easily go into very tight budget decks . Those cards in particular wouldn ' t be as efficient as the more expensive options but they would still contribute to a more solid and consistent deck . Take just a five colour deck for example . You have access to all 10 signets , felwar stone and Sol Ring . All those for very very cheap . That ' s al easy 12 mana rocks . Add in Rampant Growth and Harrow and you have a very very decent ramp package for basically 3 $. Then for card draw you can get Ponder , Brainstorm , Preordain , Impulse , Telling Time , Crystal Ball , Reforge the Soul , Wheel of Fate , Windfall , Faithless Looting , Cathartic Reunion , etc . Not to mention the plethora of fairly cheap tutors like Fabricate , Green Sun ' s Zenith , Beseech the Queen , etc . Not counting all the strategyspecific options that can fit into a deck if you play things that synergize well with them . You can build a more efficient deck that accomplishes what it sets out to do more easily if you bother to try . Even in casual decks on a low budget . I don ' t believe that mentality or that skill should be exclusive to the competitive community . Just because you can ' t afford Lion ' s Eye Diamond or Mana Crypt doesn ' t mean you shouldn ' t run a handful of signets and cheap green ramp spells instead . I don ' t disagree that 38 is a good idea for a beginner as a baseline when they try to build their first decks . But I take issue with people who suggest it should be a MINIMUM for any deck . That ' s what bothers me . If you want to recommend 38 as training wheels to someone while they figure out and practice deck building , that ' s a good idea . But when people come and suggest in absolute terms that 38 is the correct number as a minimum , I cringe . Competitive or not , you can always build a deck that works .
