And yet, if White Weenie showed up in a JVL article, everyone and their mother would be complaining that "this isn't what BoaB is supposed to be, you're supposed to showcase rogue decks, not cheap, established archetypes!"
Yes, the article is "Building on a Budget." Although both aspects are important, I care a lot more about the building part than the budget part. The budget is mostly interesting insofar as it affects the building - as Maro likes to say, "restrictions breed creativity." Using a budget forces JVL to dig deeper into the available cardpool, but I don't care if he also uses some more expensive cards to shore up the deck.

But why pull out something like the Twilight Mire when Woodland Cemetary is easily available at 1/10th the cost on Magic:Online ?
I also question the Melira in the sideboard, wondering if, after other mistakes that have been made, he's aware that it also shuts down his main combo of the Druid + Quillspike.

I'm sure he's aware, but it's better than auto-losing to pod strategies when they pull a redcap on your a**.

Great article. As I've been avoiding Modern this was annoying cause this deck is so sweet and I have so many of these cards rotting away in my binder. After tallying what I already own (and by this point many players should have a collection of misc. sub-dual-land) I was able to complete the deck (in paper) for $35 which is what boab used to shoot for. JvL is my all time favorite article writer, Keep up the good work.
