What is bEDH?
Budget EDH is not a new concept by any means, but was given this name by the community at Sword & Board, a LGS in Milnerton, South Africa. It was formed by a small group of players who wanted to get out of their comfort zones, play EDH on a budget, but still have fun and be competitive.
Rules
When building a bEDH deck, keep the following rules in mind:
- $50 budget (using TCG Player pricing) for the entire deck, excluding basic lands and your commander. If you run partners, backgrounds, etc. one of the commanders must be included in the $50 budget.
- Random commander colour identity assigned. Only 1, 2 and 3 colour.
- No commander from the top 100 on EDHRec (In all 3 tabs, years, months, weeks). No restriction on the 99. If running partners, backgrounds, etc. both need to be outside of the top 100.
- No individual card over $5 in value (looking at the cheapest printing) including the commander.
- All normal commander rules apply (including the banlist)
- Proxies are allowed as long as you own the cards. (Cards ordered but not yet delivered are considered owned)
