Hey there fellow forum goers, I am in need of assistance. I want to try and make a budget moga bg that I can use to do ranked.
As long as you realise budget means rares I will help you! Can you afford Dirge? http://www.poxbase.com/#!/deck/c4IC3nc4Fc2zcp=c3xCtXCoYC4PCjACpzC94c2WC2OS1jS6Yr1irOE26 If anyone else posts something different go with that.
Any help would be appreciated. xD Hmm, although I feel I should've said how much I have to work with on PoxBox. Currently have 112264 points on poxbox. I already have a dirge, just nothing else. xD

Thank you very much! Only thing on this list that might be hard to get will be the Whispers in the Wind. x.x But thanks!
My advice would be don't use Cavernkeeper in a Moga bg. He's pretty overcosted and not worth it without the Voil synergy. I personally don't really like Chefs either. I would definitely try Trappers if you haven't already. They've been among my favorite Moga for a long time. G'hern Thrower, even though he's been nerfed to hell, can still be a decent ranged stand-in for a budget deck. Plus you can do some fun stuff with throws + Razorbacks.
What about Moga Lord Gaurd? Would that be a good rune to run? Actually, what would a good Moga deck look like without Mika or the Razor?
I do have a deck that uses Moga Lord's Guard(s), but I don't think of it as a general Moga bg--it's more built around Dirge. It's fun, but not necessarily the most competitive deck. If you can't get them, I'd say don't worry about it. Imo, Mika fits into a meta bg more than a Moga bg. I sometimes run her for fun because I like her, but she isn't really necessary. The Infest damage is nice to deal with some superchamps, though. Razor is kinda like Moga Hunters in that he is nice to have and is extremely hp-efficient with his on-death spawn, but he too is somewhat more of a luxury. For me, if I were starting all over again with no runes, I'd probably prioritize Dirge, G'hern General/Soothsayer, and Warbanner above anything else. I think that you could do pretty decently with just rares and lower, though, if you wanted to. People don't really think about him, but Overlord is still good, if a bit inefficient. He combos well with Trappers to give you some great burst/removal. Overlord + Isangoma + Thrower + 2 Razorbacks would make for a solid G'hern core, I think.
Awesome. I've got the Soothsayer, general, isangoma, thrower, and the razorbacks. I managed to get the more expensive g'herns thanks to some friends, and I've also got dirge, so I suppose I've gotten pretty much everything that's been mentioned here. Thank you guys.
Don't forget that Thrower was heavily nerfed recently, by giving a cooldown to his relocation ability. I don't know if I would consider running him over other G'hern anymore. Here is a bg I've put together, I didn't have time to play with it yet but I'm certainly going to give it a try soon: http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/cj6cy=cgqc4Fcp=cp7C2UC6kCpYC94C2OC3zS1ks1is6YS82R2ZrOe1fE1j
Currently I am running this. http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/c4Icgqc4FCp=cp7c3xc2nCtXc4Pc6TCpzC3vC94C2Os5Qs1ks6_s6Ys59s82r2Yr1irOe1Q I definitely could cut back on all the G'hern I've got in there. -I like running the hooligans, traded out razors for them and I am enjoying the hooligan more so far. I like having the cannon in there, extra range and a way to kinda deal with things that have paralytic feedback. -I like having one stealth unit in my bgs for stuff like font contesting or even knockout to lock down key champs, or contest longer if I can. -Even with the nerfs to thrower I think I will still run him. I played some games where a lot of my big plays came from using his relocate ability. -Moga aviators because they're fun, increasing the range of all my guys seems like a good ability to include in this bg. Maybe cut back one of them for something else, not sure what yet. -I got the tyrant in there because I enjoy how beefy he is, and how much damage he actualy can cause. I would run him with his knockback to throw things off cliffs but that kinda calculations are above my current skill level. Plus he is a pretty tough champ, in my opinion. I am sure this would be one of the g'hern I remove, for another moga probably, if I need to. -I have an overlord, but I do not run him. I do not run him at the moment because I feel I need the beef of tyrant and I can relocate allies with thrower, sort of. But having time to think on it I might throw him in there for one of the razorbacks. Not sure if what I am running, and why, are any way legit for a semi-competitive moga bg. I'm just going off hints and suggestions, along with things I've done in recent games. But if I do change thins I was thinking about changing it the way I mentioned in here. BG if changes go through: http://poxbase.com/#!/deck/c4Icgqc4...Pc6TCpzC3vC94C2Os5Qs1ks6_s6Ys59s82r2Yr1irOe1Q
I'd probably cut 1 g'hern (thrower or tyrant) and cannon and replace with moga razors. Razor is ridiculous efficient when you measure hp/nora cost ratios. Plus, he spawns 2 moga for your totem of the muses since he dies twice, which helps with your surge. Nothing wrong with cannon...but your ghern depend on surge mechanics and so greater numbers of cheaper moga are better than fewer, more expensive moga.
Damn. It's a shame I go to school for 9 hours of the day. But I will try and watch his games to pick up some things.
