MTG : Budget standard deck (up to KTK legal standard) - update Boss Sligh

With the high price of standard decks (approximately 20k) to be competitive, lets try to look for deck that have a low budget but still is competitive.

Checking sites and finishes from large tourney i have came across decks that i think is budget.

1. Boss Sligh - previously Red Deck are generally budget but due to increase in splash in RED on other decks parts (jeskai for example); building RDW is now quite expensive. rabblemaster, Stoke the Flames have increase significantly in prices.
but lately there is a RED variant that can be on the budget and yet be competitive.
sample deck here :

Though it has the rabblemaster and Stoke, this deck is a budget compared to Jeskai and other Red Variants out there.
Stoke has no alternative, but the rabblemaster can be swapped for Holdering Outburst.(not as effective but can be a trigger for our monastery.)

Played the deck, and one thing for sure, if the game goes long, chances are you will lose.
Also playing this deck saves you a lot of time in between rounds. 

2. Heroic - most successful variant of heroic deck is the UW variant.  
This is the deck that i am using right now, though mine is a mono white heroic. This deck can swing huge, as in huge, on one turn if left unchecked.

sample Heroic decks variants
Depending on builds budget can go as high as 8k php, most expensive addition to the deck would be Brimaz 
If your on a 2 color variants then mana confluence, fetches, and duals are expensive.

My current deck list generally compose of this cards


Seeker of the Way 4
Favored Hoplite 4
Phalanx Leader 4
Vanguard of Brimaz 2 or 3
Ainok Bond-Kin 1
Abzan Falconer 1
Gods Willing 4
Defiant Strike 4
Feat of Resistance 4


3.  U/x Artifact Aura - this deck generally plays Ensoul Artifact on an Ornithopter or a Darksteel Citadel on turn 2, 
Played against this deck, and on God draw this deck is pretty GOOD.

Variants would be here.


There are other budget decks out there but this three is what i think is competitive.


~ Another take on a budget deck, one of which contains my favorite color -- Black!
This is a good read Mono Black Midrange by Mark Ian Alloso.

Map.

Spiral Valenzuela is located at the Black Rectangular Box in the map. From Monumento Circle, take the McArthur Hway drive. Spiral is around 2.5KM from Monumento Circle. In moderate to light traffic, you should be in Spiral in less than 10-20mins. Along the route, once you see the San Miguel Brewery at the opposite side of the road, you are around 600meters away from Spiral Valenzuela. Just search for the Ersao and Savory branch along Mcarthur Hway and right on the other side of the street is Spiral Valenzuela.



On the side note, once you see Our Lady of Fatima University, it just means na lampas ka na. You can actually walk back papuntang Spiral, around 200 meter walk, as for my case, around 300-350 walking steps,
