Hi everyone, I used to play a lot of paper magic and started around return to Ravnica. I had to stop because all the stores shut down around me and I had a lot of other things going on. I decided recently after almost 2 years of playing to start playing again on MTGO. I have enjoyed it so far giving me the ability to play at will and when I can. I want to work on getting a deck for modern that I can slowly build up since I don't have a lot of money. I usually see the budget and then top decks but not one that I can slowly build up to but still play in between. I want a deck that I can build into overtime and enjoy. I really like midrange and aggro decks. I don't really like combo decks or control. I don't want to play burn or merfolk either since I've already played a lot of that. What do you think I should look into and what suggestions do you have? I am open to all deck though and want something I can have fun with at the end of the day but still compete and go 3-2 on average.
An obvious choice would be Death and Taxes (because you like midrange and aggro), which settles anywhere between aggro / midrange / tempo.
You could start with Mono White and decide to invest money into it for building up BW Eldrazi & Taxes, GW Death & Taxes or even Humans.
GW Hatebears is also easy to build up to.

Try something like Naya Zoo. The primer on this site has multiple verson's ranging from really cheap to expensive. it also will give you access to Goyf's over time if you wish to try different decks. Some key cards i can think off of the top of my head you will end up with depending on how you build will be.
I really like the deck it's fun to play and can be built really well depending on how you build it. I have played both an aggro and midrange version and enjoy both of them. I played zoo for a long time before slowly migrating to Abzan to get the rest of the stuff i wanted for BG/x midrange decks. Zoo has good cards against control and midrange strategy which improved in the midrange version with Bloodbraid elf.

That's good to hear i suggested something useful. I hope you enjoy the deck then though i have never posted in the zoo thread. It does seems to be a very helpful community and i hope you go far with the deck.

Seconding Death & Taxes. I just got back into Modern and it's the deck I'm using to wade through a very control-heavy meta at my new LGS. As Polymorph says, it also has a huge variety of potential upgrade paths and it has decent matchups, especially considering Modern seems to have gotten a lot greedier since I last played.
Here's a link to deathandcatmix's wonderful primer for D&T.
Current Modern Decks W Death & Taxes // "Tax evasion? You wish." WB Eldrazi & Taxes // "This is the Eldrazi Revenue Service, we have you surrounded!" U Merfolk // "Sushi." B Obliterator Devotion "You're one ugly mofo!"
Former Modern Decks WB BW Tokens // "Bros and bros and ghost bros." BUR Elemental Combo // "What just happened?" WBURG CoCo Slivers // "I'm in love with the CoCo."

The expensive cards in the deck are Goblin Guide and Legion Loyalist (and SB Blood Moon) while the rest of the deck is pretty much budget.
