I'm assuming you mean modern format, and also that you mean you want to make splinter twin.

And I'll answer: yes and no. You theoretically can, since you can run 2 kiki jiki, and 4x twin. That right there is anywhere from $40-70, depending on the printings. Everything else can be replaced by commons and uncommons.

I also say no because that deck won't be competitive, compared to competitive modern decks these days that are loaded to the brim with fetches and high-tier rares.

If you turn the 1 in that budget into a 2 then yes, you can build splinter twin.

I just playtested it and had the turn four kill 2/3 times. The other time I drew the mountain and had it on 5. I'll take it.

Alright, if you're not a fan of kiki jiki's, here is Budget Twin (suck it bert) 2.0, now with a sideboard and better fixing for people that care about that sort of thing (Demarge, I'm looking at you).

I might actually make a twin deck now. After looking at it, I already own the most expensive cards (the lands). Also, did you know that Sleight of Hand s and Serum Visions are all like $2 each? And don't even get me started on Scalding Tarn s. Magic is considerably more expensive when you don't already have all the cards.

or expensive if you dont have a heavy flow of cash

Yeah, it's sad when Sleight of Hand and Serum Visions are the best 1-drop cantrips in modern. You should run Telling Time instead. It's a 2-drop, but it's a cheap (moneywise) cantrip that gets the job done.

I might actually build a twin deck too now after looking at this. I still have my playset of Splinter Twin .
