nested ghoul is more of a combo-ish piece, finding some way to deal damage to him many or infinite times and making him indestructible or something, but even if you found the cards it wouldnt be a good combo.

90% of the cards in magic are either unplayable or not very good, thats why so many cards cost 0.01 and some cards cost 10-100$.

the idea with tokens is to get a lot of them and buff them. getting 2 tokens for 4 mana just isnt exciting.
endless ranks would be great with good token spells or defensive creatures, but again zombies dont have the support.

Now its not like you CAN'T make a deck using these cards or that it will suck, it just wont be fantastic no matter what you do.

I'm afraid it appears I have to abandon this deck idea; pricing out the cards you suggested, I'd be looking at well over $50 of cards.

My current budget is around $5.

for super budget standard i'd look into GW agro with splicers and overrun . you can make a fairly decent deck with that.

"agro"? I'm not familiar with a lot of Magic shorthand yet.

But was something like this what you were talking about? I know it's not optimal, but it's what I could throw together with the cards I have

2 x Rampant Growth
1 x Golem Foundry
2 x Adaptive Automaton
1 x Quicksilver Amulet
2 x Skillful Lunge
2 x Titanic Growth
1 x Kiln Walker
2 x Fog
2 x Master Splicer
1 x Buried Ruin
1 x Alloy Myr
5 x Plains
2 x Lifelink
1 x Reclaim
1 x Vital Splicer
2 x Mighty Leap
4 x Plains
4 x Forest
2 x Remember the Fallen
1 x Darksteel Sentinel
3 x Elite Vanguard
4 x Llanowar Elves
4 x Forest
1 x Golem Artisan
1 x One-Eyed Scarecrow
2 x Maul Splicer
4 x Forest
2 x Sensor Splicer

"Aggro" decks are usually fast, creature-based decks. When you say your budget is $5, does that include the cards in the first post? I mean, have you already bought the cards in your original post?

All of the decks I have posted are made of cards I currently own.

When I say that my budget is $5, I refer to the economy of Magic Online, which is composed of "tickets", each of which costs $1 of real money. I currently possess 5 such tickets.  Most cards in the game are worth some fraction of a ticket, but a few are worth multiple tickets. Liliana of the Veil , for example, seems to be worth about 20 tickets, or $20 of in-game currency.

Oh alright. Do you know if there's a place where we can see the prices of MTGO cards?

Otherwise, Black Cat , Diregraf Ghoul , Skinrender and Geth's Verdict should be brilliant and affordable picks in standard.

I found this one after a quick search: MTGOTraders.com

Prices seem to match what I saw on the ingame trading area.
