I know Im always asking for help but I need a deck that is cheap and consistent. So please help me.

Vileo

If its cheap it isn't consistent. Just my opinion. Otherwise, check out Maze's End. My build has Elspeth and Sphinx's Rev, but it works really well.

Izzet Aggro is cheapish with expensive cards you could add to make it better


4x {Akroan Crusader}
4x {Hidden Strings}
4x {Triton Tactics}
4x {Rakdos Cackler}
4x {Radkos Shred Freak}
4x {Frosturbn Weird}
4x {Cloudfin Raptor}
4x {Titans Strength}
4x {Magma Jet}


Expensive cards are Purphoros, Thassa etc.

Depends on the build to be honest.

This. Also depends on the color. I also consider "consistent" to mean "wins against most match ups" rather than "gets what it needs most of the time." Occasionally that's the same thing, but it is an important difference.

I think you should define "cheap". It's a very subjective term. IMO one of the best, consistent decks that's cheap (by my definition) is mono white. The only expensive card in the deck, which is also replaceable, is {ajani, caller of the pride}. It runs {soldier of the pantheon}, {precinct captain}, {spear of heliod}, {imposing sovereign} as the only rares...at least what I remember off the top of my head. All of which are $2 or less.

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

Aggro is almost always cheap. Of course, Mono-red devotion has increased the price lately but cheap aggro is still doable. Just get burn spells, things with haste and maybe some pump spells.

Prodigy55

There are a ton of ways to make mono red strong and consistent. One suggestion is {madcap skills}.

Raiderrob

White weenie is cheap. There are plenty of standard builds out there. Check out starcitygames or mtg deck builder, you should be able to find a good, cheap mono colored build.

This. I play this as my main standard deck right now, and it's hilarious. The only expensive cards are {Ajani, caller of the pride} and {Boros Reckoner}. The reckoners are optional, but they make the deck much much better. Without them, you could maybe round out your curve with {Frontline medic} or as a lesser option, {Fabled hero}. Mono white heroic can also be nice and cheap, and it's a decent deck.

Ok. Could I get a deck list to base something off of. I want all types of cheap decks, and cheap is $100-$200 dollars for the whole deck.

lotrwk

This is the list that i'm using ATM

Creature (31)
4x {Azorius Arrester}
3x {Boros Reckoner}
4x {Dryad Militant}
4x {Hopeful Eidolon}
4x {Imposing Sovereign}
4x {Judge's Familiar}
4x {Precinct Captain}
4x {Soldier of the Pantheon}

Instant (7)
4x {Brave the Elements}
3x {Silence}

Planeswalker (3)
3x {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}

Land (19)
19x Plains

Sideboard (15)
1x {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}
2x {Banisher Priest}
2x {Gideon, Champion of Justice}
3x {Glare of Heresy}
2x {Heliod, God of the Sun}
1x {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}
2x {Plains}
1x {Renounce the Guilds}
1x {Spear of Heliod}

Melek the fire

If your willing to spend the 200$ why not just build Owen's Grand Prix mono black deck? I bought the cards I didn't have off tcg, but the deck itself isn't more than 200 if you shop around . And it matches very well against current tier one standard decks.
