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 years and month tabs). 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)
