My answer to my playgroups sub-50 euro EDH deck challenge, without Gamble or Sensei's Divining Top it would be less than 20 (if you count the card prices the way my playgroup decided).

The point of this deck is to create tokens, draw cards with slow-cantrips like Panic and Aleatory until I find enough rituals and real cantrips like Crimson Wisps or even Boiling Blood , use those to draw more rituals and hopefully a huge payoff spell like Mana Echoes, Brightstone Ritual or Battle Hymn which then allows me to pretty much literally play my entire deck and then just finish things up with a combo finisher. Sometimes wrecks face, sometimes fizzles gloriously, and overall has pretty consistent turn 6 kills. When it comes to actual competitive EDH this deck isn't good, but damn if it is't fun to play.

Combos

The primary combo/finisher in this deck is Dualcaster Mage and either Heat Shimmer or Twinflame. This is how it works:

• Play Twinflame targeting whatever.

• Hold priority and cast Dualcaster Mage, target Twinflame with the etb-trigger.

• Trigger resolves and you get a copy of Dualcaster Mage, target Twinflame with the copy's etb.

• Trigger resolves, get another copy of Dualcaster Mage, repeat for infinite 2/2s with haste.

There's also a second way to stack the cards with the help of our commander which makes this combo extra good for this deck (not to even mention that Heat Shimmer and Twinflame are great themselves with Zada).

• Dualcaster Mage and Zada are on the battlefield, cast Twinflame targeting Zada.

• Let the Zada trigger resolve, there's now a copy of Twinflame on the stack targeting Dualcaster Mage above the original Twinflame.

• Let the copied Twinflame Resolve, get a copy of Dualcaster Mage, copy the original Twinflame with the copied Dualcaster Mage's etb, repeat for infinite 2/2s with haste.

Other wincons are:

• Aetherflux Reservoir by itself

• Cloudstone Curio + two Kobolds for infinite storm, then Grapeshot or have Reservoir in play.

• Combat damage with Titan's Strength , though that's used more for sucker punching one player.

I decided to go mostly for the combo route with my wincons since traditional Zada wincons like Screaming Fury don't play around Propaganda effects, plus almost every game you win you have the option to draw your deck, so why not go for a more interaction-proof combo finisher? Reservoir has the additional upside of not requiring combat, so if your winning cantrip is Chaotic Strike it's no problem.

Technically this deck has one more wincon:

• Mana Echoes, Cloudstone Curio and Skirk Prospector in play.

• Play Siege-Gang Commander which generates a lot of colorless mana, bounce Mogg War Marshal with the curio trigger.

• Sac the three goblin tokens for three red, play Marshal (two red in pool), get a token, bounce Commander.

• Sac the goblin token from Marshal (three red in pool), play Commander (one red in pool), bounce Marshal, sac the tokens (four red in pool)

• Generate infinite red mana by doing this loop, then stop sacrificing the tokens for infinite red and infinite goblin tokens. Then you can just sacrifice goblins to Siege-Gang Commander and shock people to death.

If you wish to see a non-budget one check out Zada, Hedron Grinder.
