__First off a bit of a disclaimer/explanation. I am a relatively new player to MTG. My general approach is to find effective decks I see being played and would like to try myself. However, many competitive decks have expensive cards within them. My approach is to try to create versions of these decks but at a much lower budget. I have a personal rule that I will not purchase any card above £2. Cards between £1 to £2 are my grey area and I have to be convinced they are necessary. This leads me to try to find slightly worse but financially more viable versions of cards that will perform the same function in a deck. I hope this approach is one others will benefit from allowing players who need to operate within financial constraints feasible decks._
Lava Coil replaced with Fight with Fire. Slightly higher cost to cast but one extra damage at the cost of one extra mana. Divination a more financially viable card option than Chart a Course.
Some sacrifices made on Lands. Both multicolored lands come in tapped.
