So, there was a nice thread of someone posting their collection and had a challenge of making a deck for FNM that week, I was wondering, if this could be done with my collection? Not to be taking away the original creators fire, just need some help. I've inherited alot of this stuff and I didn't really have the time to look over all these cards and ponder on them, most of the stuff from RtR is from my drafting and friend drafts. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it, I'm not the best at deck building so this could help me see the potential of my cards. I have a budget of around $20 to spend on Singles, so please nothing too expensive. Spoiler:

I did a quick scan to see what kind of manabase you could swing, and I have to say I was surprised to see the makings of a nice UW manabase. You've already got the core set lands, and you have 1/2 the Shocklands. You've got some nice gems in that list.
My only question would be what do you perfur to play? I think an decent control deck could be made, you've already got the Verdicts, a Terminus, a Detention Sphere, Charms and Oblivion Rings.
However I'm seeing a few other possible decks in there. Seems like a decent GB deck could be build up, and a mono-Red or RB Aggro deck seems to want to come out as well.

What I really like to play are Jund colors, but I can try to play anything. I usually try and go for aggro, but I'd like to go out of my comfort zone, so nothing is really outta the question.
Thanks for looking also.
Too mention also, I have the whole common set of RtR and M13.

I think if you can get a hold of some(3 or 4) Geist of Saint Taft  and you could have a very good WU list, but even just 1 is outside your budget unless you can trade off some your other rares for them. I keep comming back to UW Tempo every time I look at the cards. Cards you need:

If you can get 3 Geists, then cut the Emanicpation Angel. I'm sure others can help improve upon what I threw together, but this seems like the best place to start to me given what you have.

@Anubuss
Looks good, but yeah, Geist is kinda expensive. I guess I have some trade bait potential for a few, I dunno.
Thanks for the input, I'll playtest it.
Anybody else want to put some input on my collection?

Went to classes and just got back from some friends house, I built said deck and play tested, and it was doing pretty good, but one of the matches got prolonged and I eventually lost, so if anything, I guess I should add some finishers if I can't any Geist of Saint Traft  . I was thinking about Sphinx of Uthuun  as one, because of his ETB effect. Thanks again, Anubuss. But I see my thread is kinda dead, but I'd still like some reccomendation based off my cards.

Thread is not dead. Patience is a virtue, don't be afraid to wait a day or so before calling the coroner. And the best defibrillation is trying to give more info about yourself, your meta, and your ideas.
Btw, what deck is your friend using? Playtesting is pointless if it doesn't mirror or resemble something you'd actually face at your FNM.
I'm glancing at your cards, and you have a nice little collection, I just like taking my time when I piece something together.

Well, a lot of my FNM people use Bant Control, along with Jund. We have the few odd reanimators and B/R Aggro.
My friend used a budget Jund, but I didn't really have any answers for his Thrag or Huntsman. It was just a kind of bad mash-up I guess, or I ust played bad. I say budget because he doesn't totally have a playset of Huntsman and Thrag. And when I did get some flyers or Arresters ont he field, it was Dreadbore  d and Decayed.
Also I checked his binder but he doesn't have any Geists.
My ideas? I don't really have any, I'm kinda new I've been in for about 2 months. But I'm attempting to learn, my collection came to me by a friend that had to move away for school in August, and I'm just now putting it to use.
In drafts, I've been usually doing good with Izzet and Rakdos, I just can't seem to get into 3 colors, too many hard choices, but I'd like to try. I guess I just lack the imagination for deck building.
Also, Patience isn't my thing, but I'll give it a go, I guess that's why I like aggro so much. Ha, ha.

Well I suppose tonight will be the last night that this thread will be relevant, so I'll ask one more time to look at my stuff and see what magic ya'll can work. Since then, I took apart my Izzet and got my 3 Snapcaster Mage  back, so that's in there now.

I like how you excluded one of the most abused and broken cards in standard, and by accident no less. What are you gonna say next, that you disassembled your midrange deck and now have 4 Thraggies just sitting around? :P I'm guessing that since you haven't listed commons, that getting any given common would be trival? That's what I'm assuming. Let's get this show on the road, see if I can cobble together something half-decent: 3 x restoration angel  3 x snapcaster mage  3 x judge's familiar  2 x vitu-ghazi guildmage  1 x isperia, supreme judge  1 x armada wurm  1 x sphinx of uthuun  15 x creatures  3 x talrand's invocation  3 x call of the conclave  4 x azorius charm  2 x selesnya charm  1 x terminus  4 x supreme verdict  1 x detention sphere  1 x make a wish  2 x blessings of nature  21 x noncreature spells  4 x glacial fortress  2 x hallowed fountain  1 x temple garden  1 x grove of the guardian  4 x azorius guildgate  4 x selesnya guildgate  6 x forest  2 x island  24 x lands  60 x cards  With cards as good as these, you don't need to purchase any more. I just slapped this together with just the cards in your collection, and it should atleast do decent. I'm actually not too confident about the Talrand's Invocation, but I threw those in cause you can Snap it to make even more dudes, and you have tons and tons of removal anyhow to keep the board stabilized. I just hodgepodged this together real fast, if you see anything that's obviously wrong, feel free to point it out. It's hard to make a sideboard since I don't have close and intimate knowledge of your meta, which is basically what a sideboard's all about, but this is good, I think it'll do well.
