MTG Salvation

I want to initiate my son to MtG and I am looking for some kind of budget build for him that would be efficient and fun to play in Pioneer. Any suggestion? The manabase can be non-budget, as I have playsets of most of the shocklands/scrylands/checklands.

The mono-B lists use Mutavault, otherwise they are nearly budget. Some use Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and the Vampires use Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord. Kalitas is a bit steep, but usually a two or three-of. Sorin is a middling priced card.

I've been experimenting with Boros Knights and BW Rally Zombies. Nothing expensive in the Knight deck but the Zombies have Mutavaults.

There are also some mono-R lists that seem cheap.

I can search up some lists later but I've got pressing errands to run right now.

Thanks for the input. I did some research and came up with UR Prowess. Easy to learn and not that hard to play.

If this changes things, Stompy is always fun. I run the elf dork package(Llanowar Elves and Elvish Mystic) and some Paradise Druid/Wolfwillow Haven to power out Verdurous Gearhulk and Glorybringer on T3. I dunno how easy it would be to understand(at least my build), but big green monsters is fun and it works.

I would strongly recommend RG dinosaurs. I built the deck for my 8 yr old son and he loves it. Very easy to pilot, incredibly explosive and powerful. My list


Rhonas is probably the only non-budget card and it is easily negligible. Could be another Ferocidon
