NOTE: Last updated 2018-06-04, and I don't update unless someone needs to see the most recent version. If you want me to update with the current decklist, send me a PM.
Hello!
This was my fourth deck, a casual tribal deck using Zendikar's and Worldwake's allies. It came together quite easily, and I was pleased at how inexpensive the deck was. When I first uploaded the list to a price aggregator site like TCGPlayer, I got under ten cards that cost over a dollar (most of which I already owned before building). I've added cards since then, including all shocklands and the allied fetchlands, but cut those and it's a budget build.
Some assorted notes:
My group plays with no general damage and no French ban list. We play with either 40 starting life (free for all or Star) or 60 starting life (Two Headed Giant, be it 2v2 or 2v2v2).
My group frowns upon infinite combos, land destruction, and locks.
I'm a budget player who plays with other budget players, so I'm not interested in buying expensive cards for this deck. I try to keep most cards under two dollars, with only a few in the five dollar range (or more, if it's something I've opened).
I'm only interested in black-bordered, modern frame cards.
(There used to be a changelog here, but I don't keep that up to date anymore. Everything's on SVN, though, so if you want to see what I used to run, just send me a PM.)
I'd love to run Adaptive Automaton, along with cards like Coat of Arms and Door of Destinies. But they're a bit too pricey for my liking. I'll wait and see if the Automaton drops in price once it rotates out of Standard.

Swapped generals, let's see how Karona likes the new Vow cycle.
I've cut down on mana-fixing and utility creatures (the decks seems to fix fine). A thematic plus, as now the deck only runs allies, changelings, and clones.
Ancient Ziggurat is something I'll keep an eye on. I run a lot of creatures, and most of my non-creature spells are at a higher CMC, so hopefully it functions as Command Tower Mark II.
One card I wanted to pick up but wasn't in stock was Lurking Predators. Next update, I hope.
Most of those cards are too expensive for my tastes, but I'll definitely consider Body Double the next time I update the deck; thanks!
Speaking of anti-sweepers, one card I wanted to pick up for this deck but wasn't in stock when I made the last purchase is Cauldron of Souls. Most of my allies will get +1/+1 counters on them when they re-enter the battlefield, which works really well with the Cauldron granting persist.
-3 Vow of Duty
-3 Vow of Flight
-3 Vow of Malice
-3 Vow of Lightning

+5 Cairn Wanderer
+4 Evil Twin
+5 Body Double
+3 Crib Swap
+3 Mortify
+3 Putrefy
+3 Cackling Counterpart
+5 Cauldron of Souls
+6 Back from the Brink
Karona has been more trouble than she's worth, so I'm switching to Horde of Notions. This means I can recur my Changelings. Crib Swap is also thrown in; it's good removal even when the general isn't out.
I've got a Lurking Predators on its way, not sure what I'll cut for that. Cards that I was considering but decided against were Bramblecrush and Kaleidostone. Thoughts?
You should update this with General Tazri . Since the cost in the text is WUBRG then it works as a 5c commander

I am trying to get better at making decks. I have had trouble creating more competitive decks as I only really build with the cards I have. I dont have that many value cards, in function or expense. I (almost) never play at FNM type events so its not like im playing against $2k decks. If I do usally play at one, Its a draft or limited game. Any advice on building decks is greatly supported! DMs are appreciated.
Thank you!
To put it more simply, it's like saying, "I can prove Jesus is real and loves you. See? Here's my Hispanic friend Jesus. He's had a crush on you for a long time. Tell em' Jesus."
Here's a joke! Whats the internal temperature of a Taun-Taun?

Karona has been more trouble than she's worth, so I'm switching to Horde of Notions. This means I can recur my Changelings. Crib Swap is also thrown in; it's good removal even when the general isn't out.
Other changes include dropping my more lackluster allies, and putting in more removal. A few more clone effects; I'm excited about Cackling Counterpart. Cauldron of Souls and Back from the Brink act as anti-sweep cards.
I've got a Lurking Predators on its way, not sure what I'll cut for that. Cards that I was considering but decided against were Bramblecrush and Kaleidostone. Thoughts?
EDIT: Swapped out Shard Convergence for Mimic Vat. If it works out, I might shell out for more copies.
