The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

A legacy tournament deck that is under $291! I have yet to play or test the deck, but it's something I'm considering making to test against some decks. Let me know what you think. Also, looking to come up with a solid sideboard for the deck. Remember, I don't mind expensive cards, but I want to keep this thing relatively cheap.
Painter's servant and grindstone are the keys to the deck. Basically, once both are out, its game over as their entire library is gone. Fauna champion is to find the servant, plus any other useful cards. The bloodmoon and magus bring their decks to a screeching halt, as that is all there is in legacy--non basic lands. The only problem here is that it is slow, but once you get your stuff out, you should be good.

Don't legacy games end really fast? turn 3 fast?

Yes they end fast. This deck is based on a placing legacy tournament deck. Main difference is Fauna Shaman replacing Imperial Recruiter, which haves $1000.
You may have known this, but the judge promo imperial recrutier is less than half the price of the normal imperial recruiter...~$80 each. not cheap, but better than 200-300.Also, Unless you are really worried about rush aggro, fetch lands work well with the top....if you don't find your combo piece with the top, shuffle those three cards away! Plus the minor benefit of thinning your deck of lands.
Ancient tomb would be my only suggestion.
Maze of Ith? And maybe some tutors to pull your main cards?
Decided to try and make my own,http://www.mtgvault.com/dharr16/decks/painters-grindstone/
I love painters servant and you should check out the legacy deck I play and its quite a budget deck too chttp://www.mtgvault.com/mtgisme/decks/manaless-dredge/
I like that you are trying here, but there is a reason Fauna Shaman has seen basically 0 play even after Survival of the Fittest was banned.I feel like summoning sickness just kills this deck. The deck's engine is a permanent that dies to every removal spell in the format and cant be used until you pass the turn. Ouch.I think you just need to have Imperial Recruiter to build this sort of mono-red toolbox deck. (ok, well Goblins can be a mono-red toolbox too, but thats a totally different deck and has its own engine).If the Blood Moon strategy works well in your local meta, you might want to just drop the combo and go all in on the "hate everything" plan. Ancient Tomb, playsets of Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon, Chalice of the Void (cast on 1), perhaps Trinisphere and other hate. Run the Simian Spirit Guides, Chrome Mox, maybe Lotus Petal. Just get Blood Moon and Chalice in play as quickly as possible and hope that screws your opponent over. Then beat them in the face with hate creatures. Try looking into old Stompy decks, some people still play them with sporadic success.
Yes, I figured it was probably a pipe dream, but it seemed good for a second. Thanks for the advice.
I agree with Tal. Fauna Shaman just makes this deck worse. Its kinda slow and messes up your mana base too much. You must have fetchlands and duals if you want a multicolor combo deck to have a chance. By running those you are also undermining your blood moon effects so it just seems bad all the way around. The 1st card that you need to have in the deck is Great Furnace. This gives you more artifacts for Goblin welder to swap artifact cards you need in the graveyard.Another card you can consider is Gamble. It does what you are looking for and you can use Goblin Welder as back up if you end up discarding the card you searched for.Goblin Welder and Wurmcoil Engine are also a fun alternate win condition.You would be much better off with keeping it mono red and running more Sensei's Divining Top, Goblin Welder and Simian Spirit Guide. You could also consider Lightning bolt for creature removal. If you must splash another color I would drop or sideboard the blood moon/ magus package. I would go with blue so you can run brainstorm type effects and counters to protect the combo and trinket mage is nice to fetch for grindstone or another artifact you may need to find such as Tormod's Crypt or Sensei's Divining Top. If you don't go blue I would go white and go with Enlightened Tutor and possibly Orim's Chant and maybe even a Isochron Scepter or two.Good luck with the deck!
Yes there are so many options, and so few people to test legacy decks on. I have an elf deck, but I thought id try a shot at a budget legacy deck. Thank you for the advice.
