In general, it's not wise to play planeswalkers because of their ultimate, because getting enough loyalty to ultimate is often a pipe dream. By far the biggest strength of Carth is that it allows us to ultimate planeswalkers much quicker than normal. The longer Carth the Lion sticks around, the more value we get out of our planeswalkers and the more likely it is that we will end up winning the game. One of the big upsides of Carth is that it costs four mana (making it hard for decks to kill with Prismatic Ending) and has five toughness (allowing it to dodge red removal like Lightning Bolt), which means it's actually fairly likely to stick on the battlefield for a few turns once it resolves, which is exactly what we want. Carth does two things: it finds us planeswalkers, both when it enters the battlefield and when one of our planeswalkers dies, and it also super-powers our planeswalkers once they are on the battlefield, giving all of their abilities +1 loyalty. It's not super overpowered in the way some other Modern Horizons 2 all-stars are, but it's still a strong card in the right deck. ![]() The main goal is to play Carth the Lion, use it to ultimate planeswalkers quickly, and hopefully turn this planeswalker value into a win!Ĭarth the Lion is one of my favorite cards from Modern Horizons 2. Budget Magic: Carth and FriendsĬarth & Friends is a midrange-y, ramp-ish Superfriends deck. Can cards like Garruk, Primal Hunter, Garruk, Cursed Huntsman, and Liliana, Waker of the Dead work in Modern? Is it possible to build a version of Carth that only costs around $100? Let's get to the video and find out then, we'll talk more about the deck!Īnother quick reminder: if you enjoy Budget Magic and the other content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest. While our planeswalkers are a bit different than the ones we played in the Much Abrew deck, it might not matter if we can ultimate them quickly enough with the help of Carth. Well, today, we're going to give a budget build of Carth a try. The problem is that the deck cost a massive $1,000 because planeswalkers like Liliana of the Veil, Liliana, the Last Hope, Karn, the Great Creator, and Liliana, Dreadhorde General are pretty expensive. A few months ago, we played a Golgari Carth deck on Much Abrew, and it was super fun. ![]() Anyoung, Budget Magic lovers, it's that time once again! Carth the Lion is one of the sweetest and most unique cards from Modern Horizons 2, digging for planeswalkers and then powering them up once they are on the battlefield by giving each of their abilities +1 loyalty.
