Im looking to make a couple good standard decks. But I'm poor, and the group that I regularly play with has a limit, we can't spend anymore then ten dollars on one card, unless we draw t from a booster

Some delver decks can be made cheaply, and mill, burning vengeance decks, red deck wins, werewolf decks possibly, morbid/undying pod decks

'nuff said. Have a look on the deck lists here now for those decks or google 'pauper decks' for hits with those formats too.

Goblin deck is real cheap and competitive.  I beat my friends fnm 3rd place deck with one.

4 {goblin fireslinger}
4 {goblin arsonist}
4 {spikeshot elder}
4 {goblin wardriver}
4 {goblin chieftain}
4 {stormblood berserker}
3 {hero of oxid ridge}

4 {goblin grenade}

I then throw in some incinerates and brimstone volleys and other cards I been testing out like reverberate and infiltration lens number varies and then about 20 land

I also have a budget g/w token deck that is pretty strong

Yea a red burn deck or maybe a human deck, a lot of good options there.

The Myr and Rage Extractor decks I've uploaded are both pretty cheap and are really good

Drop the {Snapcaster mages} and delver decks can be made super cheap.  I like {cackling counterpart} with delver decks since you can put it in as a creature slot but it helps the odds of flipping the delver since its a sorcery and then you copy the flipped delver....plus flashback...very versatile.  Just have lotsa card drawing like {ponder}, {preordain}, the red one from DKA, even {divination} maybe.  I also like {Stromkirk noble} in delver decks since it gives you another fast creature that becomes a force to be reckoned with and puts your opponent on the defensive right away.  So spring for the Stromkirk and fills the rest with instant/ sorceries and maybe {invisible stalker}.  Don't forget {runechanter's pike} though....they are cheap to.

I built a R/U delver deck from stuff I had sitting around and it works really good. Instead of {runechanter's pike} I used {trepanation blade}

Is there any way I could make a cheap G/B if I already have a playset of deathrite shaman, 2 vraska, 3lotleth trolls and a playset of slitherheads? Any ideas for that sort of combo?

So you have the golgari duals?

I have the gildgates but not the rare lands.
