I'm interested in keeping this deck somewhat underpowered (and reasonably priced) - "75%" if you will - while packing in some oomph and value. Ya know, enough to hang with a more competitive table, but not so much that it runs away with games at the kitchen table.

I'm not willing to spend more than five bucks on a card, and any cards in the deck worth more than that are things I had on hand or from other decks. So my questions are these: where do I go from here? Cut the critters and add more card draw to get to Sphinx-Bone Wand? Are there some affordable combos I'm missing that could be slotted in? I'd love to hear thoughts and suggestions!
