This is a really bare bones EDH deck on a pretty small budget. There are no infinite combos, but there are some really strong combos that will keep you ahead of you opponents.

One of my most used one is Capsize+Archeomancer for the infinite instants, but because of the few creatures in this deck have enter the battlefield effects you can really do this with any of them.

Polymorph has become one of my star cards, it's a quick and effective way to get a bomb on to the field, albeit it is a bit luck based.

I'd love it if some of you could put forward some cards that would improve this deck, and maybe a few recommendations to usher this deck out of budget.
