C&C (Cheap and Competitive) Decks for Standard

*this is a repost from MagicIloilo.com
Playing and competing in Magic has been getting tough, especially on the financial aspect. Most powerful cards nowadays cost you a minimum of 500 pesos, and you really have to spend thousands to build a “so-called” Tier 1 deck. Most people (including myself) blame the Mythic rarity as the cause of this sudden rise in card prices, though we just have to deal with it.

A Very Busy Bee


Wow, it looks like a long time since I posted a well-contained article. The cause? Recent schedules at work and random projects. Plus I just got out of the hospital two weeks ago due to Typhoid fever, which is also the cause why I missed the Grand Prix this year.
