So after several failed attempts from my local playgroup, friends, and family to get me into EDH I was finally sucked in after picking up the Esper deck from the latest release. Had fun playing several games straight out of the box and then proceeded to mod the deck into more focused combo/control list.
Since I was had so much fun and success with the Esper deck I picked up a copy of the Jund deck and have been pretty stumped as to whre to take it. I find the token/sac theme to be pretty weak against even other precons and cant seem get a grasp on playing the deck effectivley.
Basically im here looking for pointers. Im not new to magic but pretty green to commander so having help is much appreciated. can afford a budget of maybe $50 plus i have a pretty good collection from the past few sets. Also Im not looking be super competitive. Im a pretty skilled pilot so i can usually hold my own running a budget brew. Thanks in advance!

Ill throw my vote for the event deck option as well. There is at least enough fully standard legal ones for you to each get one and last i checked they could all be had for msrp or better. Your getting much better bang for your buck and most of them are quite viable for fnm.

To me budget is anything before the point where my conscience asks me if im stupid. Im cheap by nature so this sets the bar fairly low. However, the other side of me is competitive as a mofo, so I offset the first feeling through trading.

My budget for this week was spent buying 4x Quicken and 2 x Thoughtflare which was exactly what the deck needed to go over the top in terms of being playable. while neither card is very good on its own, Quicken is cheap and Thoughtflare is huge card advantage in this deck. I traded away the decks two rares and some other randoms for 2 x Guttersnipe and 3x Flames of the Firebrand from an awesome dude whos handle i cant remember. its somewhere in my notes. Thanks bro!
Anyways, I've got a few more minor tweaks to make. Disperse should be Voyages End, since its just better. A Sideboard is also needed so I can retool games 2/3. The last thing is finding a solid finisher and making my manabase better although its doing alright with basics. Thats about it for now!

Tomorrow is .50 cent Sunday! As is usual, my deck is approaching the first limit in design. The chaff is now burned awzy for the most part and a real constructed deck is taking shape, as usually happens around this time. The reason for this is alot of decks can be built on a backbone of choice common/uncomkon cards and a dollar buys alot. Tomorrow ill have a deck list for you all, featuring a near finished deck. Lets get some updated lists up and posted!

If buying out of your collection total it using mtgotraders or (I prefer )marlonmtgo websites and then charge 75% I.e. 1.00 tix retail = .75 tix from your collection. Hzppy brewing!
A quick search pointed me to about 5 tix buylist value. If you can post a link to a better buylist price you can sell it into your collection for whichever value is highest.

Yeah with so many creatures that add value to spells floating around the idea just jumped out at me. I know im not the first obviously but the deck was practically pushed on us. My only worry is color screw and being able to draw enough cards.

Did a little trading and shopping. Offloaded Curse of the Swine, Rescue from th3 Underworld, ordeal of purphoros and spearpoint oread. Spent my whole budget as well.
Added
4x Goblin elctromancer
4x Young Pyromancer
4x Spellheart Chimera
If you havent noticed Im trying to turn this deck into an Instant/Sorceries matters deck. I believe I can build the entire deck with choice common and uncommons, and throw an Aetherling in as a bomb finisher. If I find another awesome budget rare I can build this whole thing like a theme deck !
Next hurdle to tackle is increasing card draw to take advantage of Scry and maximize synergy with my new cards. Gonna have to hit up gatherer for cantrips.

Updated the rules a bit to reflect a few questions people had. Also updated the participating players. If you are playing the challenge, please post a decklist and inventory so I know your in.
If you are playing online, include your handle in a post or pm me so i can add it to the roster. If you are not playing online but want to throw your hat into the mix for playtesting feel free as well.
If no one has been keeping track, tomorrow we will add 50 cents to our pool. I believe some of you guys started the previous week at launch so go ahead and add a full dollar if your on week three.

I didn't pull anything of value but I did get a few cards for my deck. An extra Magma Jet and Lightning Strike were nice pulls. I dropped a couple duds and swapped in a few cards and took this list to the New player room.
My reason for choosing this deck was the overall base power level. Lots of ways to control the board and for the most part the stock list has decent card choices. Secondly, I have a game plan for where this deck will go in the future.
