I saw the MTG Goldfish deck "Miracle Grow" and thought "Wow, Deeproot Champion sucks," then found a card much better than the champion... Vile Manifestation.

Enigma Drake + Fling or Fling + Vile Manifestation with a ton of instant/sorceries with cycling in the graveyard. Also plenty of lands to cycle so Vile Manifestation gets bigger.

Censor and Countervailing Winds can protect the combo. Imaginary Threats is a backup Fling (tap them out, then hit for huge damage). I'm not too sure about Hieroglyphic Illumination, but its this decks Glimmer. Scarab Feast as a hedge against graveyard shenanigans. Sweltering Suns is a board wipe that doesn't kill our creatures, and it makes them bigger whether we cast it or cycle it. Not too sure about Unburden either, but it could get us the edge we need to out tempo the opponent. Wander in Death in case either creature dies, or to double up on Fling if we have another in hand. Without Weakness to make sure they live long enough throughout the game or to fog a creature for a turn.

Yes, this is a rough draft of what I build so I know its not optimized, but I'd like some help to work on this as a budget option for FNM.
