After taking a bit of a break I've been itching to start playing Magic again. The latest in any tournament coverage I've caught up to has been Pro Tour Ixalan. I figured this would be the best place to ask for some info and insight on having a good reboot so I'm not just jumping back in blindfolded.
My current plan is to start drafting and collecting up to date (current Standard) cards to have a deck again. I haven't played competitive or at all for that matter since...I want to say SOI (Shadows Over Innistrad)? But I do have some cards (of which I'm sure are out by now) left from a aggro U/W Spirit deck I played briefly before going on hiatus.
I'm a blue mage, but I loved Temur when Khans Block was still legal, so I guess what I want to ask while I draft is what are decent budget decks in U/G/R or any combination of those colors to start on while I collect for a Temur with a dab of B build? Eventually when I finish thinking about the last few cards on that list I'll post that up for opinions as well.

Always making and taking apart decks. Never know, I just might have something you've been looking for. Be sure to ask if you don't see it there, I might be using it but I'll never mind parting ways with a card.
I would look into GR Energy and UG Energy decks. They are relatively cheap and have a lot of the basic cards that go into a Temur Energy deck. It might give you something to play while you build up your collection for a more expensive deck.
Are you trying to get back into playing or get back into collecting? The cheapest and fastest way to start from scratch is to buy a deck/singles. There are lots of competitive decks with various prices. If you want to start with your own brew, I'd recommend using an app/proxying to build and test, and then just buy the cards you need.
Mace is giving great advice too. GR and GU energy are really fun decks and they both feed into a Temur deck while you build your collection.
I'm most definitely am gonna try out the UG Energy build first. Looking at all 3 builds and even seeing it in that Pro Tour I can for certain Bristling Hydra is a must have for anything competitive and green. I really like what I'm seeing here, especially Rootbound Crag being back in standard. Thank you Mace! These are ideal for getting used to the energy mechanic on the way back in!

Ronnie328, I wanted to get back into playing and eventually back into competitive. I think I'm going to start off on the UG build Mace Posted earlier because before Temur I was a Simic guy. lol Some ways down the road I do intend to make my own brew, this energy mechanic is interesting, and I'm pretty sure it's already been exploited to the max but I can't wait to see which way actually works best.
