I'm trying to build a budget deck to ramp up to some big Eldrazi. I would like it to be less then $75. What would be some good ideas to use. This deck will be used to play against friends casually in and after school.
No I don't have any of them so far, I am really new to magic. I was also looking at a budget polymorph deck, the penn and teller deck looked pretty good.

Okay so here is a Budget Tron deck: Budget Mono-Silver Tron
It costs $74.94. It will ultimately probably be a little worse then if you built something like enchantress, but over time if you want you can improve this deck into a full coloress tron, U-Tron, or G/R-Tron deck. In my playtesting of it online I could fairly consistently drop and Eldrazi by turn 5-6.

For that deck are the eldrazi used interchangeable? Also, any other suggestions.

APSwimmer Yes the eldrazi are completely interchangeable, the ones currently included are just on the cheaper end of the spectrum, since say a Emrakul, the Aeons Torn could cost upwards of $30 to buy outright.
Insofar as other decks you have things like Tooth and Nail as well as the old Myr Galvanizer combo where you have Myr Galvanizer + Myr Galvanizer +other mana myr like Palladium Myr. The big question I guess is how much of a Combo deck do you want? Would you rather be trying to Goryo's Vengeance back an Emrakul, the Aeons Torn (which does work by the way, though its complex to execute) or would you rather be tapping 10 lands for Kozilek?

I would rather be trying to goryo's vengeance or polymorph(deck I am looking at) seems like it works well to me.

If you're going casually then go towards Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, Llanowar Elves, and then Priest of Titania and Elvish Archdruid. These will seriously and consistently ramp you. A land that would be seriously beneficial would also be Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx as it can increase your green devotion, then you can tap your creatures, then tap Priest or archdruid for the final boost. Example:Turn 1 - Forest then Elvish Mystic.turn 2 - Forest then Priest of Titania and Llanowar Elves.Turn 3 - Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx then two more one drop elves or another titania.turn 4 - Tap Nykthos to give you 5 mana, each one tap elf gives you another 3 (8 total) then both titania give you 5 each (another ten) which is a hardcasted Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Game over.
Another somewhat easier way is to go the Quicksilver Amulet and/or Elvish Piper route. You don't get the cast trigger but you still win with Emrakul even without the extra turn. (however those are about 6 dollars each).
do you already have any of the eldrazi? they are roughly expensive and take up a third, if not half, of the budget.
