Budget Gigamorph

Here is a different take on the U/G morph shell, using Salt Road Ambushers to create some giant flips. I haven't built or played this deck, comments are always welcome.

Goal 1: Make a Tarkir block standard deck for under $20 (mid).
Goal 2: Use Salt Road Ambushers with Jeskai Infiltrator to lead into some wild attacks.

This deck is built around the three morph enabling enchantments. It doesn't start fast, but after it sets up it can throw some big attackers. As with any deck based on these enchantments, Trail of Mystery is important early to pull lots of lands, and Secret Plans gives you late game draw power. Obscuring Aether makes it easier to get face down creatures early and let's you pile them on late if you have the engine rolling.

Plan A:
T1: Tapped land or Forest and Obscuring Aether.
T2: Land, Trail of Mystery.
T3: Land, Jeskai Infiltrator.
T4: Attack (unblockable), flip JI and manifest top card of deck. Both enter battlefield face down, so search 2 lands. Play a land. Play Salt Road Ambushers face up.
T5: Attack, flip JI face up and he gets +2/+2 from Trail and 2 counters from Ambushers for a total of 6/7. If unblocked he flips (losing the counters because of exile) and manifests top card, and you tutor 2 more lands. With the land drop you have extra mana to do something else with as well.

Plan B:
T1: Tapped land or Forest and Obscuring Aether.
T2: Land, Rattleclaw Mystic (face down if you played Aether).
T3: Land, face up Ambushers (using Mystic).
T4: Land, face down creature, Trail of Mystery or Secret Plans.
T5: Flip up and reap the rewards.

Note that I'm not including the attacks that your other creatures can be doing in the meantime. There are a lot of opening variations, but Aether and Trail should be high priority to get into play. Remember also that you can flip down Aether for an emergency blocker or extra attacker. Secret Plans is a little lower priority to get out, but it can be powerful card draw later in the game.

Rattleclaw Mystic is your high-dollar card. Play if face up on T2 if you don't have another drop, but remember that if you can flip it up with Trail in play, you get +1 net mana and either a 4/3 attacker or an additional +1 mana.

Jeskai Infiltrator should be your first creature if you have to choose between 3-drops, so that you can take advantage of unblockable. Remember that it and the card it manifests are both untapped for your opponent's turn.

Ambushers should be played face up generally -- it's not worth the extra mana to get +1/+1 when what you really want them for is the face-up ability. Treat them like a Trail of Mystery that can attack and block.

Icefeather Aven is your only interactive card. It can help you survive early or be a big flying surprise late. You might flip it on defense -- most of the creatures should be flipped on attack if at all possible for maximum pressure on the opponent.

Gudul Lurker and Sagu Mauler are your hard hitters. Flip them on attack and smash the opponent. If you can't get their evasion and need to win with your other creatures, Temur Charger gives you a surprise trample with 0 mana cost.

Sideboard: Survivalist for fighting enchantment and artifact reliant strategies, Savants and Feed the Clan for surviving against aggressive decks, Profaner to kill tokens, and Display of Dominance for various kinds of strategies.
