Yo, I've been brewing budget decks like crazy lately, and I have a few that I'd like to share. If you are trying to get into magic: the gathering and would like to play in FNM or something, try these out; most will run less than $30 or so, and the most expensive part will be the sleeves. Sideboards are just a list of options; I dont recommend sleeving them up as-is, but pick and choose and come up with 15 that you like. As always, if there is a card in here that exceeds your budget, go to www.gatherer.wizards.com and look for alternatives! Enjoy.
I really enjoy this list. It is inspired by Bloodhall Priest and Lupine Prototype, which are obviously insane cards to have in play with no cards in hand. So, as you may have guessed, this deck is incredibly good at dumping its hand. Every single creature in the deck is either a pay-off card, or a card that enables you to dump your hand. Noose Constrictor is the most reliable way to drop your entire hand into your graveyard, but Haunted Dead, as always, puts in a ton of work here also. The biggest issue with this deck is the mana base. Fortunately we can play Oath of Nissa to smooth that out a ton, and make mana less of an issue.
This is a pet deck of mine that i've played on stream a couple of times in friendly standard leagues on mtgo. It's extremely fun to play, has TONS of extremely interesting lines to take, and is always taken off-guard. We use a few colorless producing lands to use Spatial Contortion, which is incredibly powerful, along with 12 creatures that can easily win the game alone. Pepper in the necessary 4 Anticipate and some counter-spells, and we've got ourselves a deck. Don't forget that you can cast Clash of Wills for 0 on your own spells in a pinch, if you need to trigger Niblis of Frost to win a race, or to add another instant to your graveyard for Curious Homonculus. Doing this has won me many games.
I'll fix this up at some point probably, just couldn't be bothered to keep working on it! Let me know if you want to see more of these, and thanks for reading.

This deck is incredibly customizeable, and the truly great thing is that you there are so many possibly upgrade paths to take if you can trade for more valuable cards, like Liliana, the Last Hope. With this deck I chose to go for full-on synergy in order to enable the two powerful cards Haunted Dead and Distended Mindbender. We play 12 graveyard enablers in Grapple with the Past, Vessel of Nascency, and Wailing Ghoul as a reliable engine, a few pieces of disruption, and then some efficienct cards in Duskwatch Recruiter, and Gnarlwood Dryad.
