Peasant Magic Decks & Pauper Magic Decks
Budget Magic: the Gathering Decks
Peasant Magic Format – A deck of at least 55 commons, no more than 5 uncommons – and no rares!
Pauper Magic does not allow any uncommons or rares. So you may have to tweak some of the decks a bit if they contain uncommon cards.
Please send us your ideas for decks for this format! For newer players, check out Jason Chapman’s older Featured Articles on Peasant Magic, and the fine art of building Budget Magic Decks in Through the Portal.
