Budget Brewing Ideas
Commander-specific cheap synergy, niche role players, and practical upgrades based on available price and synergy data.
Budget Synergy Finds6 cards
Cheap cards that may overperform because they fit this commander's game plan.
Amass and Army growthForay of Orcs$0.22
Useful because it both advances the Army plan and buys time for combat.
Combat and evasionGothmog, Morgul Lieutenant$0.23
Good in builds that want both enlarged attacks and controlled sacrifice.
Orc and Goblin bodiesGorbag of Minas Morgul$0.25
Strongest when Mauhúr has enough evasive or enlarged attackers to connect.
Orc and Goblin bodiesUglúk of the White Hand$0.26
A strong Mauhúr role-player when lists keep enough eligible creature types.
Counter placement and proliferateVolt Charge$0.27
Mauhúr amplifies proliferate only when the chosen eligible creature gets a +1/+1 counter.
Orc and Goblin bodiesGrishnákh, Brash Instigator$0.34
Works best when Mauhúr lists care about Orc count rather than only one Army.
Budget Replacements3 ideas
These are budget ideas from the same support packages, not strict one-for-one swaps.
Budget idea from the same combat and evasion support package.
Budget idea from the same protection, draw, and recursion support package.
Niche Role Players7 cards
Low-cost role players and niche cards that may be better here than they look.
Amass finisherAssault on Osgiliath$3.01
Use as a top-end combat check, not an infinite or combo claim.
Army burstSwarming of Moria$0.35
Best when the list can use both token material and amplified counters.
Repeatable proliferate landKarn's Bastion$3.42
Useful in slower builds that can afford a colorless land and repeated activation.
Sacrifice outletGoblin Bombardment$3.80
Use as a secondary branch because sacrificing enlarged bodies can undercut the counter plan.
Saga counter placementBook of Mazarbul$0.42
A compact way to test whether the deck wants chapter-based counter growth.
Token drain payoffMirkwood Bats$1.56
A clean secondary payoff when amass and Goblin bodies create repeated token movement.
Typal recursionPatriarch's Bidding$4.25
Best in actual Orc or Goblin construction, not a generic Rakdos pile.
