6. Commander Rules!
   1. Disclaimer: We’ve both got pretty deep collections, and so we know a lot of times our content isn’t super Budget-Friendly, but we wanted to bring you some Budget Friendly content
      1. Start with a Commander Precon Deck
         1. You can’t windmill slam a Cyclonic Rift in. 
      2. With between $5 to $10 in upgrade money from each session you had to get creative with the cards you put in. 
      3. With this restriction you’re forced to find cards you might not have considered otherwise that might end up being really good.
      4. This also levels the playing field in terms of expensive cards
   2. We’ve often played in Budget Commander Leagues

      1. Commander is becoming more and more popular, and that is making it more and more expensive to play, but Budget options exist, and they can be quite potent. Additionally, it’s always fun to try and level the playing field, and get your playgroup to make a budget deck or two, or do a league with the precons
