Hello great readers! I hope your day is kicking serious booty! Ready for my final Commander deck inspired by a new leader from Midnight Hunt? I hope so! As you can see!

This is my seventh and final build for you from Midnight Hunt. The first six were:

1. Gisa, Glorious Resurrector - I first built around this Mono-Black leader that wants to kill foes with destruction effects like Damnation, -X/-X effects like Mutilate, sacrificing effects like Slum Reaper, and then triggers and reanimation and mono-Black ramping tools. It's a whole lot of fun! You can see the song I sung over here.
2. Rem Karolus, Stalwart Slayer - In this Boros-based build I toss in a ton of damage-based mass removal that will keep your stuff alive if you survive, such as Rolling Earthquake and Blasphemous Act, as well as backup ways to keep your stuff alive like Iroas, God of Victory as well as triggers and damage dealers to people's face from burn like Stuffy Doll. Enjoy it here!
3. Ludevic, Necrogenius // Olag, Ludevic's Hubris - This Dimir deck is deep is graveyard manipulation for Ludevic like creature tutoring such as Entomb and Buried Alive, milling like Ashiok, Sculptor of Fears, card drawing like Bitter Revelation, and great creatures to copy like Avatar of Woe. Check out this cool deck here.
4. Florian, Voldaren Scion - This crazy build is all about that draining and pinging life from your foes in a number of ways. I build a Group Slug Rakdos deck. I have ways to keep you alive like Caverns of Despair and Maze of Ith. Ways to punish attackers like No Mercy and Cunning Rhetoric. I have draining effects like Subversion and Sanctum of Stone Fangs. I have Monarch-granting cards like Court of Ambition and Court of Ire. I have card drawing ways to punish others life like Xantcha, Sleeper Agent. It's great stuff. You can see it here!
5. Dennick, Pious Apprentice - I wanted to build around two aspects of Dennick - firstly his graveyard protecting from removal, like Cremate, to build around Disturb, and I tossed in flashback cards as well. Those included Deep Analysis and Malevolent Hermit. I also tossed in more ways to protect my graveyard from removal like Leyline of Sanctity and Dismiss. Secondly, I loved how Dennick would shut down targeted reanimation and recursion, so I tossed in more hate bears, like Aven Mindcensor and Drannith Magistrate. To win we have lands like Hall of Storm Giants as well as mass token making flashbackers like Increasing Devotion. You can check out this duality here.
6. Adeline, Resplendent Cathar - Adeline can easily swing as an 8/4 on turn four in a four-player game. Nasty! If you drop a pair of 1-drops on turn two, then swing with all of them at different people after dropping Adeline on turn three, then you have a 10/4 attacking on turn four and a 13/4 on turn five, which is a fifth-turn Commander kill. Since I am running a bunch of early drops, I tossed in mono-White Hate Bears like Esper Sentinel and Spirit of the Labyrinth. I also leaned into token making and tons of ways to protect the team once they have been brought out like Mother of Runes and Teferi's Protection. This is my favorite brew from the set, and I adore just how much fun it is. Enjoy it here!

What is a Budget Commander deck? Great question! This is the 61st deck in this series. I was inspired by other budget deck series that have "budgets" in the triple digits like $250 or even just $100. That's not a budget! My first deck came in under $40 and every deck that's been built since then has tried to come in under the previous one. The last deck I did came in at $32.65. You can check out the full 60 decks in the Appendix below.

So, what card inspired today's brew?

It's this $2.99 Mythic Rare from Midnight Hunt. As you can see, Jerren is a 3-mana 2/3 which will bring a 1/1 White Human 1/1 token for a loss of life when he arrives to the battlefield. You can spend a pair of mana to give lifelink to a Human, which he is. And then when you have 13 life in your end step, you can spend 6 mana to transform him into a game-winning 6/6 with flying, trample, and life link which is actually a threat to win the game with Commander damage. I wish that the card that was printed in this set in Blue that wins the game when you have 13 life was in Black so I could run a deck around the theme of dropping life to 13 and then winning the game. It's hard to run that here, since we really push ourselves to the danger zone by spending a bunch of life, and it's a trick we can only do once, as when Ormendahl is invariably answered it flips back to its humble 2/3 side. And then building around the Human tribe is harder to do outside of colors that care about them - like Green and White. Jerren feels more like a nice card in the 99 of an Orzhov Humans Matter deck, Tokens Brew, or maybe an Abzan one, or in a Dimir 13 life alt-win life loss deck. So.... how am I expecting to run this build?

It's 3/4 of dorks across two bodies for just three mana. Budget Aggro? All right... let's do it! We'll also toss in Humans and the occasional Life Loss effect to let you run into those as well, in case the battlefield works that way. I'll lean into Human aggro stuff like Black Knight.

We only have 64 decks over at EDHREC.com that have been built around Jerren. They built around him with a strong Aristocrats Mono-Black strategy with tons of sacrifices and triggers. We are going in a very different direction with Aggro and Humans where possible.

Ready to get this thing kicked off?

That's $0.49 for each one! That's pretty good for a pair of Humans that care about fun things. The Wizard cares about Humans dying, and each time one heads to the graveyard from the battlefield, you'll net a 2/2 Zombie token that's tapped. Note that it's missing the keyword "nontoken" so if you kill your Human token from Jerren, that's a trigger! Pretty good in a going wide deck like this one.

The Cleric Mercenary is pretty strong here as well. Ideally, we'll drop it after losing a better creature and we can swap out for it, like one of the two dorks below. Enjoy this pair that costs under a buck! No, I don't know why one Necromancer is a Wizard and the other is a Cleric.

Here's another set I like in here a lot! The first two are 3-drop Humans that will force everyone to sacrifice a dork or a planeswalker on arrival. You can sacrifice your token from Jerren to them if you still have it, and then leave the 3-powered swinger out. The Disciple is the weaker card as it's just a 3/1, whereas the 'Crafter has a bigger butt and forces a discard if they cannot sacrifice a permanent of the correct type, including yourself by he by, but you can always sacrifice it to itself. Good uncommon duo that is also $0.49 each!

Another $0.49 bulk rare is included in the Priest. It's a little underwhelming in size at just a 1/2, but the ability to tap itself and two other untapped dorks to spawn a 5/5 flying Demon is not to be ignored. As you can see, you can only do that with morbid triggering, but that's pretty common here. That's a pretty sized body for the cause if you do!

I tossed in a pair of adventuring Knights. The former one I love here as you can easily cast Alter Fate and Raise Dead a dork, and you can drop it and make a 2/2 flyer, which has evasion but can't block. The result is four mana that makes it a flying Gravedigger that cannot block. Pretty good here, right?

And then we have several Knights here like Fallen Askari and Black Knight and Knight of Malice. Therefore, we might have some for the latter card's Curry Favor. If you don't control any other Knights, that's fine, it's still a 2/1 lifelink for two mana which is on-curve. It's good either way here! The Favor is just one more mana, so even if you just control Knight of Stromgald, it's probably worth doing if you have the spare mana.

Let's look at another duo of 2/2s that cost three mana each. The Cannibals will grow permanently with a +1/+1 each time another Human dies. That should be a lot in a deck this steeped in Humans. We have 49 Humans in this build, so that is looking pretty likely, I think. Good stuff here. The 'Dancer will make a 2/2 Zombie token on arrival to the battlefield and that's a nice 4/4 for three mana across two bodies if you have morbid when you drop it in the second phase after combat. Trade and replace!

All budget cards! I tossed in the first card in here to give you a card drawing machine. As (nontoken) stuff you control bites it, you can draw a sweet card. I also like hiding it with morph, and then you can unmorph it as the death of something lies about to happen and hide it from targeted removal. I also tossed in more morph dorks to hide is, as well as the second card. This 2/1 can megamorph into a 3/2, and will destroy a small dork on flip and cannot be blocked by big fry. Good card!

I also found the bulk rare over on Gatherer which I used to run in my multiplayer thousands of cards big Abe's Deck of Happiness and Joy. As you can see, this fun 2-drop 2/1 will spend four mana to destroy a target blocking card, which could keep folks from wanting to block your fun times. Good cards!

Now let's turn to dash. Dash works in this build as you'll now have some fun ways to get in attacks later on an empty player while protecting your dork from sorcery speed removal. The Strike Leader is good to play on the third turn. The Shadowspear is a fine 1-drop and when it swings each foe will lose a life, which is better than a 2/1 1-drop that would deal two damage to one foe if it connects, this will deal 2 to one, and 1 to the others. Note that's it's dash is pretty cheap as well. Good Mardu duo!

I love this thing with Mardu Shadowspear. Dash it and then swing and then give it deathtouch and no one wants to block it. Hit that life loss slowly over time. And then this is a fine 2/1 Human Wizard for two mana and just costs $0.20 each, and it's very valuable here. If you have untapped mana for your small Human horde, it might play out as if you had an unblockable force since no one wants to trade down with Jerren's 1/1 Human token. I love this a lot here!

Check out this rare Mono-Black duo from the same set. Each is $0.99 here! As you can see, the former card is very on-curve as a 2/2 for two mana. During your upkeep you and a foe each reveal a card from the top of your library and draw it. You each lose life equal to the mana cost of said card. Good card flow for you. You have a ton of cheap cards, so it's likely to be low life loss for you, but your foe? Plus, losing life for cards will, super secretly, get you to flip Jerren.

The latter card is a smooth 3/3 for three mana, which is on curve size-wise. As you can see, you have three tap abilities, none of which require mana. You can tap, sacrifice a 1/1 Human token or something else that time has passed by, and toss two +1/+1 counters on something like Jerren pre or post flip. You can tap to remove a counter from a dork to make a Treasure. You can tap to sacrifice an artifact to churn out a 2/1 flying Inking token. We have mana rocks for the latter, so you can churn them if you need to, and if you have the mana, you can untap this and keep on going as a nice mana sink later in the game. But even as a 3-drop 3/3 he's fine to wine and dine.

It's only $0.99 for Isareth as well! I run this 3-drop 3/3 Human Wizard with deathtouch in my Type Four Stack, which you can check out here - Type 4 Stack - List - Cube Cobra. It's on curve, will trade up with deathtouch, and wants to swing hard. When you do so, you can spend X mana and then recur a dead dork equal to that mana from your graveyard to the battlefield with a counter on it. When it would leave the battlefield, instead exile it. The card advantage here is amazing, and since all the creatures here are three or less mana, (except for one budget 5-drop which has to be here since it can win game in mono-Black builds) you can recur any of them for just X = 3 or less, which you can do, as long as you have the mana for Isareth. Good stuff!

The Wizard rare is so bulk that it's only a quarter here! $1.25 for the Warrior, so that's $1.50 for both. Both are great here in different ways! The Wizard is an admittedly underwhelming 3-drop at first glance since it's just a 1/2 with menace. But when it deals combat damage to a foe, they discard that many cards, so that's one discard when it hits each time which is nice. And then you can eternalize it after it dies into a 4/4 with menace and the ability to force four discards when it punches an opponent's face. Nasty! And then the Warrior is a powerful 2/1 1-drop that will go to work immediately to punch face. We won't need to block, so we don't care about that weakness. And then after it invariably dies, you can return in your second mana phase for just one more mana than it takes to drop as long as we attacked that turn, so let's make sure we do that. Good recursive stuff!

I know that this 2-drop 2/2 is a bit pricier at $1.49, but we have the budget for these sorts of cards. Flash is great as you can drop it out to trade with an X/2 that thought it was getting through, stop a 1/X from punching your face, or at the end of a turn and then swing out of nowhere. Good stuff! And then it adds deathtouch which is pretty good at trading up out of nowhere with flash. No matter how big your foe is, if it doesn't have indestructible, or regenerates, it's heading to that sweet graveyard in the sky. Ignore the last ability which does nothing here.

$0.49 for this bulk rare is pretty nifty. A three-drop with 3 power? Deathtouch? Both are pretty good here, and again, should help your tiny team play keep away, and trade up. The heroic trigger is nice, as when it happens, you can force your foes to each sacrifice a precious creature. We don't have many options here, but there a few instants that will target this for removal if needed, although that's unlikely. It's here as a 3-powered Human deathtoucher!

Let's turn to those instants next!

As you can see, I've tossed in a handful of instants that give target creature indestructible until the end of the turn. You can use them on Agent of the Fates, although I'd prefer to keep them for better stuff unless needed. My favorite in this cycle wis the Getaway since it can regenerate anything, not just a dork. Your only planeswalker? A key artifact? A land? A dork? You got it! And it makes a 1/1 Servo token as well for the beating to continue. You could cast it after someone attacks, make a chump blocker with the Servo token, and block a big nasty dork with your indestructible dork and stop two attackers. Or you can just add the token to your swing team.

Check out the Warning! It can give indestructible for the turn, but if you need a combat trick, you can use it to pump up a dork permanently with a +1/+1 counter, which could be useful as well. I also like counters on a transformed Jerren. Then you can cast the Weakness and give something indestructible. Don't need it? Cycle away my friend, cycle away!

Let's turn to a key piece of equipment! This fun 3-drop, one equip uncommon just costs a quarter. It gives your equipped Human a nice +3/+1 boost. When it dies, you can reveal cards from your library until you reveal a Human, and then you'll put the revealed card into your hand, and the rest of the revealed non-Humans at the bottom of your library. Good card advantage! Equip for just another mana and keep keeping on.

This Standard legal 2-drop artifact is pretty cheap for just $1.49 right now here at CoolStuffInc.com as of writing. I'd advise picking up some for your deck stock, as colorless generically good tribal cards like this tend to be pretty valuable due to their Commander play. Right now, that's nice for you. You can sacrifice Jerren's Human token to fetch out a 1-drop Human from your deck to the battlefield. Then you can tap and sacrifice a 1-drop for a 2-drop and a 2-drop for a 3-drop, if they are all Humans. It's power here as a Human centric Birthing Pod is amazing! Enjoy it!

Let's turn to some card drawing.

Even though these are both uncommons and both have the same cost and abilities, they are not the same price. The first is $0.49 and the second is $0.99. Each adds powerful card drawing options to this brew that give you an Ancestral Recall amount of card advantage for three life exchanged. Good pair!

$0.49? How are each of these bulk rares? They are nasty in Commander. The first is an X spell of card advantage proportions that can really refill a hand. This is an easy 5 or 8 card draw spell. And in a build with Jerren you could drop to 13 life and then transform him!

I also love the second card here. It's one more mana and two more cards than the previous above, which is pretty good from where I am sitting. Why is this rare worth half as much as the uncommon Ancient Craving? It has to be that triple mana cost, right? The Craving can be tossed in multiple colors, but the Promise is limited to Mono-Black and (maybe) two-color shells. But it's 40% more cards, so I am all in. You can also make a Demon token if you have enough mana later in the game or were just served 7 cards on a plate from something like Wheel of Fortune and a 6/6 flyer is probably worth the five-mana spell in that case. Both rares are so much better than the previous duo...

...but this? It's even better! And how is this a quarter? And this is the best card drawing effect in the deck, bar none. Nasty right? It's worse after mass removal like Damnation or Terminus when a four-mana Craving would give you a 3 cards, but is going to be reliably better. For example, it's better when you have just dumped your hand in the mid-game. This will usually be at least a 4 or 5 in the normal case and could easily be a 6-for-1 or 8-for-1. After a mass removal spell, with a creatureless hand, drop Jerren and make a 1/1 Human Token and it will still draw you two cards, which is the worst-case scenario. Nasty, I know!

All right... let's finish this bad boy with just a few more cards!

Check out this mega-cheap modal card. It's a 3-drop 2/3 Human with menace, which is a little underwhelming for the cost, but it works here as an on-Tribe option. And then if you need the Bog, you can drop it and hang out with the cool kids. I also tossed in the cheap Zof Consumption. However, the one I wanted most, Malakir Rebirth, costs $3, and is out of my price range, as it wasn't worth 10% of my deck's budget for a modal land.

Let's finish with this deep dive with three other Midnight Hunt cards!

Jadar is an awesome duo to Jerren! Drop this 1/1 Human Wizard, swing with a 1-drop you might have played, and then pass and make a 2/2 decayed Zombie. And then cast Jerren and you could easily have five creatures out on the third turn. Swing with the three that can and then reload the Zombie token each turn! Good stuff. This guy loves Minions' Murmurs! He's also just $0.75 so he's dandy candy.

This is my last duo...er...foursome! The Werewolf is a bulk rare at $0.49. 3 mana for a 3/3 that can swing with the best of them is good. No one is going to discard a card to target him for removal unless they are in a weird brew that is looking for something like a discard for madness or reanimation. As the Werewolf arrives to the battlefield (or attacks), you can exile a target card from a graveyard (two cards on the night side). Did you eat and exile a dork? That's good stuff; corpses are tasty after all. Your foes will lose 1 life and you'll gain it. Our 3/3 will turn into a 4/4 on the nightbound side.

The Rogue is a fine 2-mana 2/1 that can swing early and often. When it dies...transform it into a powerful Aura that can enchant an opposing creature or planeswalker. Then at the beginning of your upkeep they have to sacrifice a nonland and lose a life. Nice. They'll likely just choose their own enchanted card to sacrifice too, so it will usually just act as removal. Good stuff!

And there we go! Ready for the build proper?
