Hey all, i've just recently got into Magic and was wondering what would be a cheap (around 20-30$ max 100$ in total) to make a viable G/W deck
as of now, this is what my main deck resembles this:Creatures:3x Elvish Mystic4x Chronicler of Heroes2x Seraph of the Sword2x Soldier of the Pantheon1x Phalanx Leader2x Centaur Battlemaster1x Vastwood Hydra2x Deadly Recluse1x Witchstalker1x Anthousa, Setessan Hero1x Mistcutter Hydra1x Banisher Priest1x Cavalry Pegasus1x Charging Griffin1x Favored Hoplite
Instants:2x Giant Growth1x Burst of Strength1x Artisan's Sorrow1x Smite1x Dauntless Onslaught1x Show of Valor1x Last Breath1x Battlewise Valor1x Brave the Elements
Enchantment:
1x Pacifism1x Bow of Nylea
Sorcery:
1x Hunt the Hunter1x Time to Feed
Lands:
11x Plains8x Forest1x Unknown Shores1x Selesnya Guildgate
Side Deck:
Creatures:
1x Favored Hoplite1x Setessan Battle Priest2x Yoked Ox1x Hundred-Handed One1x Nylea's Disciple
Instants:
1x Artisan's Sorrow1x Naturalize1x Plummet1x Warrior's Lesson
Sorcery:
2x Time to Feed1x Glare of Heresy
Artifact:
1x Pithing Needle
Land:
1x Forest
Enchantment:
1x Pacifism
I would want a deck that's mainly made up of buffs or ways to keep my creatures alive on the field for as long as possible. So if you guys have links to any decks or want to post suggestions feel free to do so.
Thanks!

Ok, well you'll want at least a few good rares in there. The best guys under $4 are Fleecemane Lion , Experiment One , Loxodon Smiter , Advent of the Wurm , Boon Satyr , Mistcutter Hydra , Witchstalker , Soldier of the Pantheon , and Spear of Heliod . The even cheaper cards that are still really good are things like Dryad Militant , Call of the Conclave , Elvish Mystic , Selesnya Charm , Gods Willing /Rootborn Defenses /Brave the Elements , Unflinching Courage , Daring Skyjek , Banisher Priest , Centaur Healer , Kalonian Tusker , Pacifism , Last Breath , etc.
More generally, make sure you have enough creatures (count things like Advent and Call of the Conclave as creatures). I think around 24-32 is right in most G/W lists. Consolidate your spells into more 3- and 4-ofs to help consistency. Make sure your mana costs are roughly evenly distributed so that you can play one or more spells each turn. This is called having a mana curve.
This is my G/W deck. It comes up as around $150 avg. price, but Temple Garden , Ajani, Caller of the Pride , and Scavenging Ooze make up a little over half of that.
