This is my first shot at putting together a deck. A MAJOR thing to keep in mind here is this is very budgeted (~$100 if I ignore some stuff I already own). This is especially obvious when it comes to how many basic lands I include. I am looking to make a deck to get started with that I can grow over time and picked Ruric because I thought he looked fun and wanted to play something creature heavy (opposed to my small creatures/spell heavy decks I play in Standard). I looked into multiple other existing Ruric decks online and pulled together what I liked and was cost efficient along with a few things I just wanted. Just looking for some feedback.
