A budget (~$100) monored ramp deck captained by Neheb, the Eternal. You're looking to win by getting Neheb out after dumping cheap token-creating and mana-sink creatures onto the board, generating an enormous amount of mana from some nice swing-ins, and incinerating your opponent with a huge Earthquake or Comet Storm. This probably isn't something you'd want to drag out in a competitive playgroup, but if you're looking for something cheap, fun, and decently competitive at casual tables, then you've come to the right place.

Your usual win condition will be to burn all of your opponents at once with Neheb's mana generation and damage/spell doubling effects, but commander damage open us up for a couple of secondary win conditions as well when you equip Neheb with something like Blackblade Reforged. The gameplay variety and big-moment insanity that this deck provides keep it from growing stale after dozens of plays, and if you give it a try, it will almost certainly remind you of what makes commander such a fun format to begin with.

Potential non-budget updates can be found in the maybe board.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! At this budget level, this is obviously more of a fun deck than a competitive one, so I'm willing to sacrifice some efficiency for some fun and goofiness.

Creatures

• Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar - a cheap creature that can generate an absurd amount of mana for us when Neheb gets in a hit.
• Tilonalli's Summoner - can be pumped to generate a lot of mana off a defenseless opponent, and will quickly let us keep the tokens it creates.
• Glint-Horn Buccaneer - can help us filter our hand, and can deal damage to each opponent when we do.
• War Elemental - can quickly grow enormous and end games if not dealt with.
• Captivating Crew - can be used to take control of annoying defenders to help us deal big damage.
• Fanatic of Mogis - can deal a massive amount of damage when it drops.
• Frontier Warmonger - helps our team (and our opponents') get in and deal damage.
• Hero of Oxid Ridge - pumps all of our creatures and helps them get around small blockers.
• Neheb, Dreadhorde Champion - can help us filter our hand and generate mana when we do so.
• Tectonic Giant - can earn us a lot of mana every time it attacks, and impulse draw for us if we have more mana than things to do with it.
• Torbran, Thane of Red Fell - adds two more damage to almost everything we do, which turns into a lot more mana for us.
• Backdraft Hellkite - gives all our instant and sorceries in our graveyard flashback, which works great after a big attack when we have a lot of mana floating.
• Fire Servant - double the damage of all of our instants and sorceries.
• Port Razer - can give us multiple combat steps per turn.
• Quakebringer - keeps our opponents from gaining life, and deals damage to each of them every turn.
• Combustible Gearhulk - either draws us 3 cards or generates a lot of damage (and mana) when it enters.
• Moonveil Dragon - can pump our entire team, usually multiplying every bit of mana we pump it with multiple times when we attack.
• Steel Hellkite - a good removal option and a legitimate threat itself.
• Angrath's Marauders - doubles all of the damage we deal.
• Drakuseth, Maw of Flames - can deal an absurd amount of damage every time it attacks.

Enchantments

• Bludgeon Brawl - Can turn all of our mana rocks and card draw artifacts into equipment that will let us deal even more damage (and make even more mana)
• Pyrohemia - can deal an absurd amount of damage and make a ton of mana, either before or after our attack.
• Berserkers' Onslaught - gives all of our creatures double-strike.
• Dictate of the Twin Gods - doubles all damage dealt.

Artifacts

• Everflowing Chalice - mana rock that can scale to ridiculous levels in this deck.
• Bag of Holding - filters our hand and can give us all of our discarded cards back later.
• Explorer's Scope - helps us ramp and smooth out our draws.
• Skeleton Key - gives us some evasion and card filtering.
• Zephyr Boots - gives us some evasion and card filtering.
• Arcane Signet - mana rock.
• Blackblade Reforged - lets Neheb deal an extraordinary amount of damage, allowing for commander kills and generating a lot of mana.
• Endless Atlas - card draw.
• Lightning Greaves - protects a creature and gives it haste.
• Mazemind Tome - card draw.
• Mind Stone - mana rock.
• Prismatic Lens - mana rock.
• Swiftfoot Boots - protects a creature and gives it haste.
• Arcane Encyclopedia - card draw.
• Cryptolith Fragment  /Aurora of Emrakul   - card draw that also deals damage (and makes mana) every turn.
• Hazoret's Monument - makes our creatures cheaper and filters our hand when they come into play.
• Strata Scythe - lets Neheb deal an extraordinary amount of damage, allowing for commander kills and generating a lot of mana.
• Unstable Obelisk - mana rock that can take out a permanent later on.
• Whispersilk Cloak - protects a creature and gives them evasion.
• Nevinyrral's Disk - board wipe.

Planeswalkers

• Chandra, the Firebrand - can copy our huge non-creature spells, and can deal massive damage off their ultimate. Can also ping utility creatures.
