I was looking at Sanity's Eclipse's Rock thread, and I thought it would be cool to make a Doran Rock deck of my own, but on more of a budget. No Goyfs and probably no Pernicous Deed or anything like that. It doesn't have to be all commons, it can have rares, such as Wilt-Leaf Liege. I also have 2 Garruks, so I can use those too.
How about Empyrial Archangel? It has shroud to protect it from removal and it prevents that pesky burn to your face. The biggest downside is that it costs 8 mana from three different colors, but I think this could be a great finisher in control.
Grazing Gladeheart is a very underated card. I know it isn't Kitchen Finks, but it really helps to offset Fetchlands and Putrid Leech. It actually gains you life when you crack a fetchland. Btw, Baneslayer is a really powerful card, but I feel like in most situations I would rather have a Bloodwitch because Baneslayer can be killed by almost all removal, whereas Bloodwitch only has to worry about Maelstrom Pulse and Terminate.
This is my Green-Black Elves deck that I made during Lorwyn standard and I thought maybe I could get some help with it on here. I would like most of the cards to be from Lorwyn and later, but if there are any from as far back as Ravnica that would really help my deck, feel free to suggest it.
As you can see, it doesn't have to be 100% elves, so you can suggest other creatures too. I am a budget player and I don't have the money to buy any cards that cost more than $5 (other than the ones I already have).
I'm going to say that the proven power and Card Advantage of Jund will probably prevail with multiple decks in the Top 8. I really don't think that Vampires is as good as everyone seems to think. I really love GB Rock but I think that it would be better to play red too. Bloodbraid Elf and Blightning are two of the best cards around.
