A 25€ budget Asmadi deck for a local challenge in my playgroup, focusing heavily on graveyard themes. It has turned out surprisingly effective and people are fearing it after a few games. I feel like it can go toe to toe with casual non-budget decks as well if they don't hate you out.

Early on we want to use our discard outlets and our dredgers to fill our graveyard and play some small creatures. A turn 4 reanimation of something big and scary is very possible which we can follow up with our commander. Asmadi is great at disrupting our opponents, taking away their best piece on the board for their topdeck while generating value for us.
We tend to win with Zulaport Cutthroat drains, looping Gray Merchant of Asphodel or just plain old combat damage. When in full gear the deck can easily prevent opponents from having any meaningful board position while drawing tons of cards and gaining value at every turn. Just don't mill yourself to death with dredge. :)

A fun interaction: when replacing the draw from a Gate to the Afterlife trigger with dredge you don't have to discard afterwards as it has the condition of drawing a card, which was replaced by dredge and thus didn't happen. Smuggler's Copter is worded the same but I couldn't fit it in the budget.

Prossh, Skyraider of Kher could be a better choice as a commander, he seems to do everything we want but I haven't tested it. Even if he turns out to be slightly stronger I am inclined to keep the list as Vaevictis Asmadi as I find his ability to be extremely valuable. It really helps you take control of the battlefield and have an answer for everything.
Mirror March is also a bit of a pet card, it functions as a rather bad Panharmonicon with the added bonus of making more tokens to sacrifice. I find it fun but I'm sure there are tons of better options.
