It appears I've discovered a trend, and that is that the decks with a high score tend to have a really long description, and sometimes even some completely off-topic observation at the beginning....
Concept is pretty simple:
1. Fog
2. Board Wipe
3. Win, i.e. laugh at their face
Creature (1) -
Fogs (17) - Druid's Deliverance , Defend the Hearth , Riot Control , AEtherize , and of course Fog itself (NOTE: Druids Deliverance can actually populate off of Assemble the Legion, so technically it's better to defend before delivering)
Planeswalkers (2) - Kiora, the Crashing Wave is the new PW from Born of the Gods, which I'm hoping will rock in this deck. I originally thought about Ral Zarek, but I decided not to include him BCuz I cant really protect him with my fogs. However, Kiora's an exception because she locks down a creature just by herself, and can also Explore. At the very least, she takes a target off my back for a turn.
Board Wipes (6) - Supreme Verdict is our standard board wipe, and Merciless Eviction hits gods & pw's)
Card Draw (4) - Urban Evolution speeds up your maze. Literally a Explore+Divination. Sphinx's Revelation isn't in here BCuz it isn't actually as great as in other control decks, after you've already spent usually 2+ mana for a fog and have your land come in tapped anyways
Life Gain (3) - Heroes' Reunion can act as a pseudo-fog in the early stages of the game. Sometimes, you just need that little extra bit of life to live past a Gray Merchant of Asphodel, which nothing else in the main deck stops.
Specific Removal (3) - the Detention Spheres are great at getting rid of pesky gods/planeswalkers.
Other Fun Stuff (1) - Love Assemble the Legion in here, wins games and helps with chump blocking, also isn't affected by board wipes (for the most part).
Sideboard (about 15?) - Crackling Perimeter is a great way to bypass Burning Earth /Pithing Needle naming Maze's End, should probably always side in. Wear / Tear for the same things. The Negates take care of Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver and other troublesome PWs. Essence Scatter counters gods and Garys. Pithing Needle on anything I can't get rid of any other way. Slaughter Games for their pw's and most especially their gray merchants.

I may eventually take out Kiora for Fated Retribution...

With Kiora, the deck is no longer budget. If you're still trying for a budget version, reverse the above.
