Saw this deck posted a few months ago (I made one change) and would really like to try it but it go no feedback. Any improvements or changes you guys would recommend? I would tailor the SB to my meta and pick up the Bobs and Lilianas along the way as funds allow.

not really.. im just thinking that your mana base is too suicidal.. maybe you should run fetches like 3-4 verdant catacombs and 3-4 marsh flats.. you could also use 3-4 razorverge thicket, or even 1-2 isolated chapel/woodland cemetery.. don't even forget 1-2 murmuring bosk.. godless shrine and overgrown tomb are the most critical shocks that you need in early turns if you have fetches.. cutting it down from 1-2 shocklands each will lessen your chance of huge life loss..
I have a budget of 60$, but I have almost no idea how modern manabases work.
Also, my meta is mostly aggro, so I've been told not to play a whole lot of shocks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

"Using a bad card to make another bad card less bad is bad."
Heys guys I'm getting ready to build my first deck on a budget of 250-300$ planning on doing standard probably a lot of FNM. Just looking for some ideas of what direction to go since I'm brand new. Bought a boros event deck last week, considered just upgrading that and testing it at a FNM. Its 5$ at the local shop on fridays so don't want to get completely dominated.
I would like to build a Jund deck for my local Modern FNM. I have almost all the expensive cards except for Goyf. My local store is only semi-competitive so I think a Goyf-less Jund deck would still be okay to play. Here is my tentative, sideboard-less deck list:
My questions. Is 4x ScOoze too much? Should I split between Ooze and Putrid Leech? Does that manabase look okay? I have access to all the fetches and shocks. And I am willing to buy any manlands or fastlands that I need. Just glancing at the manabase, I feel like there is not enough green to support ScOoze. Maybe I should use Misty Rainforests instead of Marsh Flats?

I know the misty rainforest isnt the ideal fetch land but it helps a little. I want to keep this deck somewhat budget friendly so I will like to avoid having to get Bob's and Thoughseize.
Looking through some topics on the GBx midrage, DredgeVine might be some place to start or maybe Death Cloud.
I also have 4 Snapcaster Mage so I could possibly splash blue but due to budget I wouldnt want to add Clique. I also have 4 Scalding Tarn so a splash of red is a possibility.

I would suggest checking out this deck here, and build something similar with some fine tuning for your local metagame.

I know there is no replacement for Bobs but for budget purposes I would like to avoid him. What are some cards that I could choose from to fill that slot?
Also, what are some cards that could take the spot of thoughseize?

Thanks for your help.
Duress and Inquisition of Kozilek are both good Thoughtseize replacers. I'm planning on running 4 Inquisitions myself (Though, nobody would call my deck budget).

With the cards you already own, you could build a budget friendly deck such as this :
None of these are particularly expensive, not counting the ones you already own. And it leaves obvious room for improvement, such as :
-2 putrid leech
+2 deathrite shaman
*I would only recommend this one you have the full set of 8 fetch lands
-1 overgrown tomb
-3 llanowar wastes
+4 verdant catacombs
-3 sign in blood
-1 eternal Witness
+4 dark confidant
3x Knight of the Reliquary
4x Deathrite Shaman
4x Skinshifter
3x Doran, the Siege Tower
4x Loxodon Smiter
Instants (12)
4x Path to Exile
2x Smother
4x Night's Whisper
2x Abrupt Decay
4x Inquisition of Kozilek
3x Lingering Spirits

4x Overgrown Tomb
4x Temple Garden
4x Godless Shrine
2x Vault of the Archangel
2x Treetop Village
1x Stirring Wildwood
2x Swamp
2x Forest
2x Plains
No, I think you're absolutely right. Thank you. Input like that is exactly what I need, I'm a pretty poor deck builder unfortunately!
Is this just a terrible idea?
