Budget Standard?
Standard Deck Help forum

What is a deck under $50 that can be relatively competitive? It doesn't have to win any grand prix's, I just want to compete at me local game shop.
So far, I have U/B ingest, R/W tokens, and B/W allies. Any other suggestions, or which of those can be the most competitive?
This deck is super cheap and has been doing pretty well for me

I think abzan or orzov aristocrats is pretty inexpensive.

A friend of mine has been playing GB aristocrats and it's fairly cheap. Utilizes Nantuko Husk and Zulaport Cutthroat along with creatures like Blisterpod and Carrier Thrall. It is a fairly consistent deck with turn 4 capabilities and wins frequently by turn 5. Plus, it is hard for some people to deal with, considering it keeps playing creatures that just want to die.

I used to play aristocrats, but i stopped because it wasn't winning. Like at all. Anyone have a solid budget aristocrats deck? (Idc about the color combo)

The two best decks I can think of are RDW token/burn and B/W allies/aristocrats. Use card like Kalastria Healer + Zulaport Cutthroat and March from the Tomb + Nantuko Husk . Add draw and removal spells along with other allies and you have a solid deck. It might cost 30 bucks if you already have the land. (Cause full art lands on t/o make the deck cost more). If you want I can post a deck list later, but im at work right now and font have it on t/o yet.

I have a $60 mono white aggro for Standard if that sparks your interest. Not super competitive at meta tier but it performs well and has a good amount of synergy.

And who doesn't like to run white weenie? Its always funny to watch the look of gloom on peoples faces then they get run over by an army of 1 2 and 3 drops :)

A cheap one could be B/G combo deck with Eldrazi Displacer, Corrupted Crossroads, Zulaport Cutthroat and Brood Monitor. If you can get all three creatures on the board you win the game

It's not b/g if it uses displacer. I'm not planning on splashing white in the hopes of an unlikely combo

I think any can be strong, it's all in how well you know your deck, the carefully selected budget upgrades here and there, and the caliber of decks/opponents you are playing against.
I prefer allies out of the three myself.
