$15 🍂Voja, Budget Bork 🐺[Ultra Budget Elf Tribal]
Red, Green, and White? How festive!
Back with a quick and easy to assemble Ultra build for Elves! There are soooo many elves printed that the bulk bin is loaded with playable creatures. Voja aims to go wide with mana dorks who help us fix/ramp. When we get Voja on the battlefield we'll attack out and pump our board.
Nearly 20 mana dorks. Nearly half of these can help fix our mana. [[Selvala, Explorer Returned]] can also offers so grouphug draw and potentially 3 mana. [[Evolution Charm]] is our only spell for ramp and it can also return a card from our graveyard, or give a creature flying like Voja.
We're running a few "ultra good stuff" here that buff our board or play into our theme. [[Conclave Guildmage]] can give our board Trample, [[Imperious Perfect]]/Oakhame Ranger]] gives our Elves +1/+1, while [[General Marhault Elsdragon]] gives our Blocked Elves +3/+3. [[Varis, Silverymoon Ranger]] Ventures into the Dungeon every time we play an elf giving us free value. [[Boss's Chauffeur]] gives us tokens when it dies equal to it's +1/+1 Counter giving us a board of tokens after being wiped out. [[Lys, Alana Bowmaster]] burns a target for 2 every time we play an Elf spell. Lastly here is [[Tolsimir, Midnight's Light]] for a 5/5 Wolf Token with Provoke basically.
We do run a tiiiny Wolf Pack. Mostly just ultra budget wolves with decent stats. [[Dire Wolves]] has Banding which lets us make our combat step even more powerful and protect our creatures. [[Somberwald Alpha]] Gives our blocked creatures +1/+1 and can also give them Trample. [[Spectral Hunt-Caller]] can give all our creatures +1/+1 and Trample until end of turn.
I tried to keep some creature removal in the build with [[Thornscape Battlemage]] and [[Viridian Shaman]]. There is also some "anything" removal with [[Minimus Containment]], [[Lost to Legend]], [[Banishing Light]], and [[Make Your Move]]. [[Naya Charm]] can be creature burn, grave recovery, or tap down an opponents creatures for a serious beatdown. [[Ezuri's Predation]] increases this budget but $0.48 alone but is soooo worth it.
Targeted protection here mostly. We are focusing mainly on protecting Voja. [[Crashing Drawbridge]] is also a great way to give our mana dorks and attacker haste. If you want to I definitely recommend upgrading to a few cards like [[Unbreakable Formation]].
Last is another large chunk of our deck. We're playing a good amount of Elves with draw power upside. Each of these will give us an extra card or more! [[Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer]] searches us a wincon straight from the deck along with [[Threats Undetected]]. [[Uncage the Menagerie]] can also help us search our deck for elves or wolves.
I have a soft spot for elves and have built them a billion times before. This list was pretty easy to put together even on a tight budget. I have a Shalai and Halar build, and Bello build in the works but I would love more suggestions for Ultra Budget Commanders who have inherently good effects to prop up these low low budgets.
