I didn't like a couple decks I've played agains like Jeskai Awakening because I would have to explain the deck before my friends can play it.
There is a deck that has won me in the finals of the PDS tournament today and I've hated it because I couldn't do anything except watch. That's the kind of deck if you play with your friends they won't like to play often. Yosei Approach https://gatherling.com/deck.php?mode=view&id=62050
The deck archetype is Cloudy With Sunny Spells and has a 65% win rate.
Well now I've seen that there are penny dreadful decks that costs $90 in paper. What I wanted was cheap and powerful decks. So actually I'd want to know which Penny Dreadful decks you would select that are around $30 in paper.
Combo:
Living Death
Pickles (also counts for control)
Ramp:
Cloudpost
Temur Bombardment
That gives a pretty wide range of comparably powerful decks. Pickles and Living Death are probably a little too strong, but I know affinity is too strong and makes the game hard to play, along with aristocrats.

Pauper: UB Wight Phantasm RB Burn UR Faerie Rites of Initiation
I thought I would spend a lot of money testing this decks but as they are only $1 on mtgo I can buy a couple with the prize I won yesterday in a free tournament. I'm really enjoying this format.
This is the one I've tested and like the most.
