Choose one - Creatures you control get +2/+2 until end of turn; or creatures you control gain lifelink until end of turn. (Whenever a creature with lifelink deals damage, its controller gains that much life.)

Hi foxes101,

Do you have a specific budget in mind, Under $40, Under $50?

I do have a $50 budget Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist which is a cat-only tribal deck, Mirri, Little Kid Aggro $50 EDH. Might find some interesting budget ideas in there.

I also have a non-budget Arahbo, Roar of the World, it's still a work-in-process, Arahbo, Xenagos... for Cats EDH

Riptide Replicator seems really awful, it requires for a cat, so your hoping it's at least 5/5 or more, which means the initial cost is =5 + = . That's a terrible conversion. I understand you want to build your board position since your cats pump each other, but Riptide Replicator is not the way to go.

Stir the Pride is way too high a CMC for it's modular (or Entwine) abilities. I would take that one out.

Bloodline Shaman I assume is trying to help the draw, which in turn kind-of helps the Bonehoard as well, so let's go with that for now, but is an Elf, not a cat. Creative budget drawing at least.

Qasali Slingers is a nice control for Artifacts and Enchantments, plus hes a 3/5 reach.

Balan, Wandering Knight might consider, but with only 13 equipment targets, understand why he's not in there.

Jazal Goldmane might be a bit better, because he's 4/4 first strike, but he can pump all the horde of cats.

Beastmaster Ascension feels like 100% necessary in this, to pump all your 1/1 token cats. I think this will be a primary goal for winning in this budget format.

Hunter's Insight is a better draw then some of the "janky" draw mechanics in budget, to a lesser degreeSoul's Majesty / Hunter's Prowess also work but are Sorcery and susceptible to instant removal.

Skyhunter Skirmisher has build in evasion and double strike (cat) if you can get him an Equipment or 2. Rancor?

Crown of Vigor is not every exciting a 1-shot +1/+1, with a static +1/+1 for 1 creature, not fantastic.

Mask of Memory might help with the draw as well.

Hungry Lynx, originally I thought this guy would be amazing, but all he does is create problems (deathtouch rats), and I've never had him successfully pump my cats before being removed. I took him out, mechanic didn't work.

Uktabi Wildcats, this guy only worthwhile if you have 5 Forest, remember, Tranquil Expanse / Selesnya Sanctuary are not forest unless they say "Forest" on them, so with a max size of 11, he's rarely going to be a 5, so no other abilities, not worth the CMC .

Do you not find you get board-wiped and that is the end? I would run at least a couple protections, like Make a Stand or Rootborn Defenses or Dusk (recur all power 2 - 19 targets right now).

Soul Snare is another janky type Condemn, always Oblivion Ring.

Whitemane Lion combos infinite with lost of , but enablers might not work in the budget. There is Infinite creature (several) enablers, Infinite Ramp enablers, etc. Him and Fleetfoot Panther run the show. Could be an interesting way to get some combo going, not sure how combos are viewed in your budget pod.

Lost Leonin can also put some infect pressure on people, but without support (like Silverblade Paladin/Ajani, Caller of the Pride/that white enchantment that gives 1 creature double strike/etc to make him a single hit kill. He's still a 2 hit-Eminence win-con though. Unless no infect allowed, he will eliminate players just with Eminence on occasion. If you can Grappling Hook him or enable doublestrike elsewise (like Raksha Golden Cub). Often he comes out early enough. It's my initial strategy in my Arahbo, Roar of the World but I use mass-creature tutor.

+1.

Oh, that's a nasty piece of work! I love it.

And I believe that Samite Ministration gives you infinite life but NOT infinite damage. Still, could definitely be helpful!

Chant of Vitu-Ghazi will also work in the same way as Samite Ministration. Stir the Pride will not, however, as the creatures are gaining the life rather than the spell.

Sealtest Holy shit! You are a godsend! Thank you thank you thank you!

I'm stunned. They can both be tutored by Sunforger. WE'RE MAKING BOROS COMBO YOU GUYS THIS IS IT

Spiritualize is in, no question. I found Stir the Pride which might also be added.

Is Samite Ministration an infinite loop though? And it just gives me life which is okay.

But dang I have an infinite combo tutor-able by Sunforger!

Holy crap thank you again! Awesome!

Lim-Dul's Vault is a great card in commander, and I dont know how much more known it is than Warp World, Winding Canyons, Willbreaker (who hasnt tried to break willbreaker) or several other cards on this list. Its basically rinse repeat until you find the best five card combination, doesnt seem powerful or special at all.

I don't see Mirri's Guile, Ghostway, Ulasht, the Hate Seed, Stir the Pride, Goblin Festival, Planar Portal, or Goblin Game.

Caligula is right I could suggest lots more but I'll leave some for others.
