Budget Commander Staples: Simic

Closing out this month's series looking at budget Commander staples, today I focus on Simic colors (green/blue). I focus on four categories: ramp, card draw, targeted removal, and board wipe. And this is budget, so cards cost under $2.

Ramp

Ramp is about accelerating land deployment and/or mana access. Simic shines here, often adding card draw to the mix.

Card draw

Card draw in Simic colors often involves playing a creature with card draw ability.

Targeted removal

Removal in Simic colors is often about countering a spell and/or returning a permanent to its owner's hand.

Board wipe 

There are no board wipes in exactly Simic colors.

Conclusion

The 22 cards shown above are worth considering for any Simic Commander deck, and won't break your bank to include.
