Budget Goal: Mina and Denn for <$20. As I'm writing this, TappedOut is having a problem. The Soul of the Harvest is being listed as $1, but when you click on it, its midrange price on TCG is $0.41. Same goes for Omnath, Locus of Rage. Currently midrange price on TCG (even when card profile is shown on TappedOut) is $1.22, but in the deck list it's listed as $1.78. This deck is under the budget, without any "found this card cheap" or "buy it in moderately played/damaged condition" tricks.
About the deck: This deck is pretty straight forward and is pretty much pick-up-and-play. This deck has tons of ramp, cards that like land drops, and creatures that like how many lands you have. Those huge creatures get even more terrifying to your opponents when you give them trample with your commander. This deck also has (by far) the most land of all of the Extreme Budget decks I've made so far. As for all the decks I've ever built, I have only one that's together that has more land (Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant with 50 land), and I may have built one or two others with more. If you can expand your budget a bit for this deck, you can replace some of the basics with utility lands such as Kessig Wolf Run, Raging Ravine, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, etc. Also, having this much land in the deck allows us to spend a tad bit more on cards in the rest of the deck. That's how we got Omnath, Locus of Rage in the deck.
Most of the ramp in this deck gives you new solid lands. Either in your hand or on the battlefield. Don't worry too much about getting land in your hand instead of the battlefield, because your commander allows you to put an extra one on each of your turns. Also, with things like Walking Atlas , you can put them down on your opponents' turns as well.
Once you have enough land down, you can play something like Rubblehulk or Zendikar Incarnate and swing in with crazy damage. You also have the classic and underrated Shivan Dragon which you can give firebreathing (+1/+0) as many times as your red mana allows each turn. Creatures like Apocalypse Hydra can come in early game or late (preferably late) and act as your protector or your beater.
Unfortunately, cards like Exploration, Restore , Burgeoning, and Rampaging Baloths are out of range for the budget, but they would all be great additions when expanding that budget later on.
