      1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqRu2q2BaUM
      1. Explain what we mean by budget, no card over $5, save for Thassa herself
      2. $87.09 - https://scryfall.com/@z4ck38/decks/6b668ea6-4282-4324-a0cb-04ce597a6032
    3. Budget Style
      1. Talk about some of the experiences in playing with the deck, and what pushed you over the edge to build it
    4. Why is this deck cool?
      1. Blinking is pretty much the best, and us Commander players love to get our value
      2. Fblthp, the Lost
      3. Master of Waves (explain how during the flicker no one gets priority, so when state-based actions are checked, master is alive and well, and protecting their flock of elementals)
      4. Watcher for Tomorrow
      5. Mulldrifter
      6. Frost Titan
      7. Meteor Golem 
      8. Pondering Mage
      9. Cunning Evasion
      10. Barrin, Tolarian Archmage
    5. Blink and you might miss it

      2. Rishadan Footpad
      3. Rishadan Brigand
    6. Here there be Pirates, yarr!
      1. Note: Thassa is worded as follows: “At the beginning of your end step, exile up to one other target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under your control.” This means that you get to keep anything you blink
      2. Overtaker
      3. Chamber of Manipulation
      4. Agent of Treachery
      5. Sower of Temptation (repeatable with Thassa, given enough turns)
    7. Blatant Thievery
      1. Crystal Shard
      2. Conjurer’s Closet
      3. Ghostly Flicker + Archeomancer
      4. Displace
    8. Department of Commander Redundancy Department
      1. Verity Circle (Might even be awesome against mana dorks)
      2. Dismiss into Dream
      3. Willbreaker
      4. Gadwick, the Wizened
