Just started MTGO, and I bought specifically to play edh. But I don't want to spend another 100 dollars duplicating my real world edh, to digital
So can someone help me create a 20-30$(tix) edh deck?

How much are the digital cards in comparison to irl?

If it's a $100 deck irl it's probably a $15 deck online. Mtgo is considerably cheaper. Do some digging, you might be surprised.

You can alway do something like a  {Geist of Saint Traft} Deck where all the money is in the Geist and the rest of the cards are just voltron peices

Depends on the card.  {Serrated Arrows} is about a quarter in cardboard, but 10x that online.  {Hurkyl's Recall} is the same way.
But who uses those in EDH anyways...

Recall is awesome in edh imo. At worst you can unsummon one or two things but some edh decks run lots of high mana artifacts that if you cast it at the correct time you can set their mana base and board back one or more turns

{Marchesa, the Black Rose} with undying and unleash creatures, and board wipes. Built one paper for $30 and it (usually) makes an army of Marchesa's immortal servants, that control the battlefield after a {Slagstorm}
