I have 50 tix on MTGO I can spend on a Modern deck. Is there anything Tier 1 in this price range or am I just being unrealistic trying to get into Modern on such a small budget? I'm willing to play just about anything, but I want it to be competitive.
alot of the tier one decks are not gonna be budget just because of the lands alone, the best budget modern will prob be similar to a red deck wins strategy or burn em out. 50 tix is a decent head start. Storm is cheap also when compared to other decks like zoo where every card is expensive.
I am also starting out on mtgo with the aim of building the BG Death Cloud deck in developing competitive. Most of the cards in it, esp with Liliana Vess, are cheap but you do run into the issue with lands. Not sure how they are priced online.

Also, consider that Liliana counts as occasional mana denial, and it starts to become a significant portion of our strategy.
Just run storm if you want a tier 1.5 deck. Mono red and D&T are pretty awful.

To post on this forum you must...
1. Have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
2. Stubbornly argue for at least 1 page of posts.
3. Regurgitate things you read on Starcitygames or Channelfireball.
4. Hate all netdeckers
5. Claim your 2nd place FNM deck broke the format and Delver is not even that good.
6. Tell everybody that MBC is coming back every time a new black card is released.

Agreed (and I play D+T). I love the deck, don't get me wrong. Its definitely not as terrible as one would first think, but its definitely teir2. If D+T is 25tix with all of those Thalias, and Paths, and Vials, then I have no doubt in my mind that you can pick up all of storm for under 50tix.

I've looked at D&T, it definitely fits in my budget but seems a bit underpowered. UR Storm seems like a good candidate though, all of the spells cost less than 20 tix, the issue is that the dual lands are kind of expensive (especially Steam Vents) so I would have to downgrade the manabase somewhat to stay in budget.

That deck plays like one steam vents, and can just replace it with a worse dual.
Splinter Twin is a semi-cheap deck and it's really competitive too. The only expensive cards are 4 scalding tarn, 3-4 misty rainforest, and steam vents. you really need the 4 tarns but you could run like 1-2 misty and sulfur falls instead of steam vents. shivan reef and cascade bluffs are also cheaper than steam vents.
Obviously storm or some sort of combo is probably your best bet. You could try elves, but it's just basically a worse combo deck than storm, really.
