miirym budget deck

[half crystal]

I'm building a deck for a secret Santa and want to keep it under 40. This is the list I have. Thoughts?

under 40?

Here's my tips
Those fight spells need to turn into Blink. Search your local card shop's bulk bins for cards in blue that exile a permanent temporarily. This causes that permanent to leave the battlefield and then reenter, triggering miirym again, and this is especially good because blinking often sits around 2 to 3 mana per card.
Fighting sounds cool but to be entirely honest if you blink a dragon a whole bunch you can just remove the player without worrying about what's on their board, people aren't going to swing at the dragon's player who has dragons on board all that quickly, and with cards like Dragon's Breath the 30 billion tokens decks aren't really a concern

Dollars. I am a broke gremlin

the deck is over 50 already?

blink spells are a good idea to blank removal and to trigger miirym abilities again

some cheap cards you can consider are [[dragon's hoard]]

Artifact
Whenever a Dragon enters the battlefield under your control, put a gold counter on Dragon's Hoard.

Choose one —
• Return all creature tokens to their owners' hands.
• Return all nontoken creatures to their owners' hands.

Sorcery
X can't be greater than the number of players in the game.
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal X land cards. Put those land cards onto the battlefield tapped and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Low key I forgot flicker spells lmao. Thanks for the reminder

I go by tcg player not card kingdom. Tcg price is 33 without basics

[cobalt wharf]

But yeah dragons always struggle with mana curve, and being able to "cast" a dragon for the low low price of one blink spell is part of what makes Miirym an advantage engine

Originally I was planning to build that Maya eggs turn into giant random things because the gist that I got from there form was that they liked putting a big thing on to Battlefield and watching people panic as they try to remove it or die but then I realize that Miriam is both easier to build on a budget and is far more consistent even as a budget deck

seemed you got your 100 cards too so im rather confuse too

I mean I just want opinions on the deck list and suggestions on how to make it better while keeping it within budget

Since the thing I'm getting him is going to be relatively cheap I want to at least make sure that it can hold its own against upgraded pre-cons if not higher power decks and I very rarely build the budget so I'm not used to this kind of deck building

dragon decks mostly play the same pattern if they arent answered early their late game will be a terror

if you looking for a cheap counterspell [[sapphire dragon]] should do work too
