Saved commander deck
Felix Five-Boots
Capitalize on Felix Five-Boots' ability to double up on combat-damage-to-a-player triggers. Connect with cheap evasive creatures and massive saboteurs that steal cards, discard enemy hands, build mana, and generate tokens twice per hit.
Prompt: Felix Five-Boots Budget Prompt Build a powerful, focused Felix Five-Boots Commander deck with a TOTAL budget of about $20 USD (roughly R$100 BRL). Do not exceed this budget. Focus on creatures whose abilities trigger specifically when they deal combat damage to an opponent/player, since Felix makes those triggers happen an additional time. Do NOT include creatures just because they are unblockable, flying, or evasive. Evasive creatures should ideally ALSO have a strong combat-damage-to-a-player trigger that gives cards, mana, removal, theft, tokens, counters, disruption, or other meaningful value. Include cheap support that helps them connect: unblockable effects, flying/evasion, tapping or stunning enemy creatures, keeping blockers tapped, or preventing blocks. Keep the deck functional despite the low budget: prioritize cheap mana costs, ramp, draw, removal, protection, interaction, and a stable budget mana base. Favor synergy and efficiency over expensive staples.
