I'm just curious to what budget standard decks are viable for FNM, as a modern player i don't follow standard however i can go to FNM more now so i need a standard deck to play when it isn't modern night. thanks for any ideas or suggestion, cheers and happy holidays.
Standard is actually pretty cheap for all decks. Max is probably $150.

Chubbub Abzan Midrange, arguably the top deck in the format, costs well over 500 dollars. My Mardu Midrange list cost me about 300 dollars, and jeskai tempo will put you back about 200 or 250. Not to mention any whip decks which can get pricey. While it's true some standard decks are fairly budget friendly right now, I wouldnt say most.

do i have to have Courser of Kruphix for GB constellation to be good?

My opinion: no
The general opinion: yes
Basically you can put whatever you want in the deck as long as it has Doomwake, Eidolon, whip and hornet queen. Ramp helps as well.

UW heroic is cheapish. Just the fetches, and if you play modern you'll want those anyway.

i'm not a very aggressive player so i like the sound of this constellation deck, the most aggressive modern deck i have is naya midrange. Is there a cheap jund deck in standard?

uw heroic is the best "viable" budget option out there. Fetches are expensive, but if you're running budget, just don't put them in.

There really isnt a jund deck available right now, as a color combo or an archetype. The closest that you'd get to it as an archetype is Abzan midrange sans whip.

Yeah, just make UW heroic. My LGS sells bulk/junk cards, and I could make at least 80% of a competitive Heroic deck out of that place, $15, and a couple stray basics, so it's super budget friendly. Also, swinging with big dudes is fun.

BG Constellation can be built pretty cheaply. Otherwise, your best bet is probably UW Heroic or Red Sligh.
