Izzet Delver Deck
Gameplan: Play Delver, Play Young Pyromancer, Play Spells, Swing for Lethal. (You know what Izzet Delver does)
Total Price: $120
Regular Format Legality: None
For a long time, I have thought about how many cards exist that are very powerful but are banned and are very cheap. I recently had the idea of a format with every card under $5 legal. I decided to also make Lotus Petal and Lotus Bloom to allow more quick combos like vintage. Here are some of the more powerful cards that would be legal in such a format:
I have recently designed a powerful MTG arena deck similar to modern bogles.
It plays a hexproof creature and then covers it in pants (beneficial creature auras).
For hexproof this deck uses merfolk tokens.
I want help tweaking this and making a sideboard for paper play.
There are no shock/checklands due to budget.
Also, the removal needs a lot of help as I am not familiar with standard.
I don't need a super competitive deck just something I can bring to FNM that won't always lose.
Here is the deck:

I very much enjoyed the drafting experience of GRN and other Ravnica sets, so I had the idea of making a cube that would have five guilds each with their own theme.
After running a survey here, I found people's favorite guilds and made a color balance with them.
Here are the different guilds and themes:
Boros: Tokens, Battalion
Golgari: Dredge, Self-mill, Lhurgoyfs
Azorious: Control
Rakdos: Early-Game Aggro
Simic: +1/+1 Counters
I am working on a Ravnica-Style cube with five guilds (Rakdos, Golgari, Simic, Azorious, Boros), and I have decided to theme Golgari around Dredge and Undergrowth, I am not very familiar with Dredge so I would like help building it in my cube.
The cube is unpowered but each guild tries to be as powerful as possible within an approximate $250 budget.
I plan on building a Ravnica style cube with five two color combinations, each with their own mechanic, so I made this survey about people's favorite guilds. I am very interested in seeing what people's favorite mechanics and guilds are. Personally, I like Orzhov and Extort.

The goal of this cube was to have a fun, general playing experience, for not very money and without ugly proxy cards.
Most of the cards are real but about 20 of the most expensive are printed out and penny sleeved with a cheap common.
D90Dennis14,
I don't think you understand. Epicure of Blood and Cliffhaven Vampire can act like Sanguine Bond in the combo, and Defiant Bloodlord works like Exquisite Blood. With this many options for both sides of the combo, you can skip the tutors and just have good chances of drawing the necessary cards. Also, this is not supposed to be super budget, but I would like to keep it under $100.
