Budget Commander Decks

Complete 100-card Commander decklists in $25, $50, and $100 tiers. Every list respects color identity and Commander legality, runs a real mana base with ramp, card draw, and interaction, and is priced from live database values — never invented.

Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow

Ninjas & Topdeck Burn

Yuriko rewards evasive cheap creatures: every Ninja dealing combat damage flips the top card of the library and burns each opponent for its mana value. This build packs one-mana flyers and unblockable enablers alongside high-cost cards to maximize each trigger.

Commander $3.33$25 / $50 / $100 builds

+ Budget cards for Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow by role

Krenko, Mob Boss

Goblin Tokens

Krenko doubles the Goblin count every turn he survives. This build floods the board with cheap Goblins, gives Krenko haste and protection, then converts the horde into damage with sacrifice outlets and shared-burn effects.

Commander $2.96$25 / $50 / $100 builds

+ Budget cards for Krenko, Mob Boss by role

Muldrotha, the Gravetide

BGU

Graveyard Value

Muldrotha lets you replay permanents from the graveyard every turn. This build mills itself aggressively, then treats the graveyard as a second hand of lands, ramp, and value permanents.

Commander $0.57$25 / $50 / $100 builds

+ Budget cards for Muldrotha, the Gravetide by role

Pantlaza, Sun-Favored

GRW

Dinosaur Discover

Pantlaza discovers twice whenever a Dinosaur enters, casting free spells off the top of the library. This build chains mid-cost Dinosaurs with extra enter-the-battlefield effects to compound the free casts.

+ Budget cards for Pantlaza, Sun-Favored by role

Ghave, Guru of Spores

How these decks are built

Real prices, honest tiers. Deck totals use live database prices for every card including the commander. If no valid build fits a tier, the page says so instead of pretending.
Deterministic validation. Each list is exactly 100 cards, singleton except basics, within the commander's color identity, and Commander-legal — checked by rules, not by AI guesswork.
Refreshed regularly. Lists rebuild from current data throughout the day, so prices and picks stay current as the market moves.
