Lonis, Cryptozoologist | EDH $100 Budget Deck Tech | Commander | MH2 | Tokens

On BudgetEDH we build fun and optimized commander decks with a pre-set budget in mind. In this week's episode, we build a $100 budget Lonis, Cryptozoologist deck from the Magic the Gathering new set Modern Horizons 2. Lonis is a Legendary Snake Elf that has the ability to investigate (generate clue tokens) when creatures enter the battlefield under your control. It also has the powerful ability of cashing in those clue tokens to look at the top of your opponent's deck and put a permanent onto the battlefield under your control equal to the casting cost of the clues sacrificed. This is a very powerful ability, allowing us to play the best cards out of our opponent's decks. This deck leans heavily into creatures that have enter the battlefield abilities to accrue additional advantage through playing creatures, as well as having ways to double up those triggers and ways to doubling Lonis's activated ability as well. In addition, we have a lot of ways to use the clue tokens that we generated for additional value over the course of the game to get use some redundancy in our gameplan.

Just found this channel and you have videos for like every commander I’m interested in! These videos are exactly in the format and style that I was looking for, and a few of your videos have even clued me in on more awesome looking commanders to add to my wishlist. Love your videos! Keep up the great work!

Running mostly creature ramp and several creatures that can bounce themselves back to hand, this deck seems to really like Intruder Alarm. a lot of times it's infinite mana and let's you untap Lonis so you can use her ability over and over. At that point you can take everyone's creatures with a Shrieking Drake, Lonis, Intruder Alarm, and any mana dork that taps for a blue. Best part is there are multiple creatures that can bounce themselves and multiple dorks that can tap for a blue.

You already have the blink package and P drake, so really you only need Archeomancer to go Infinite. Great deck! Looks like a lot of fun!

[@andrewherder7386]

Eternal witness is in the deck, so it can already go infinite (and for one less mana!)

Best budget commander deck

[@0331ball]

I was thinking some of these cards should just be creatures instead-- like destroy artifact or enchantment, isn't rec sage just better since we already have blink stuff in the deck and lonis investigates? Got some cool ideas in there tho
