It is not Budget...but a great card for this deck...Pact of Negation.

Wondering if i can't splice this deck with the above deck.

Sorry, I see the comment up above. I will try to do as wished.

Back in the day cards, for sure, for sure.
Some of them are classics.

Will check it out, for sure.

Not sure, Hidden Strings Cipher says when it does "combat" damage to a player. I think the TIms, when they tap to do one damage to the player, may not be considered "combat" damage. I did wonder about that myself. If I could use Cipher. But not sure about anything going Infinite.

But you do get the basic Idea. Use stuff like Hidden Strings and Dream's Grip to get two uses out of a Tim, per turn.
So If you have a one Tim in play and one Charisma in play, let's say on the 5th turn, you can use Stings or Grip to allow your Tim to do 1 damage to 2 different creatures your opponent control, thus stealing/killing both of the creatures.

With Hidden Strings, I am not sure if you get to use a Tim 3 times. I think you would have to untap 2 different Tims at one time. I suck with rules.

With that said...and as suggested by someone else in above comment,
is there any decks that you would like us to make?

I could try to dedicate a budget deck or two to you...but i am awful at making them. I am better at theme decks.

But I am sure several of us would try to make a few decks in your name.

For sure, for sure. And likewise, If a year from now, local people are playing 1 cmc deck tournaments...I will know where it all started!

You are leaving for a while? Good, I can get a few more hot decks now!!!

Joking aside, thanks for all the cheap ideas for budget decks!!

And for being game enough to make decks on request.

Well, maybe not, I believe I have had a Goblin deck, at least, be on the Hot Deck list...but anyone can make a Goblin deck. lol.

Okay everyone. This deck is official about to be off the Hot Deck list.
Wanted to thank everyone who looked and liked it.
I believe it was my first hot deck.

Thanks again.

He did help out. A lot. Puschkin is awesome at doing that.

Here is overall advice i would suggest...that works for me.
I played back during Urza's Saga. Then I quit. My friend (whom i use to play with back in highschool/urza saga) found me about 2 years ago...and just up and give me all of his cards. Thousands of new cards (because he never quit playing into Worldwake/Zendikar...i had never used or even heard of. So it got me back into Magic. This is what I improved on after getting back into Magic:

Tempo.

Google it...maybe. It means different things to different people.
To me it means this: every turn be able to play something good and make your opponent answer to you...not him cast threat after threat that you have to deal with. You do that to him!
It sounds simple, at first.
But being able to do something every turn, that is better than what you opponent is trying to do every turn...it can get tricky.
I mean...your first turn you play a really solid creature, and during your opponent's first turn he nukes the creature...see what i mean? That is what Puschkin was saying...people are going to bring creature hate/artifact hate/enchantment hate. On your second turn, you have to keep bringing the pressure/tempo by playing another really good card that makes your opponent scared/or have to answer to. If you play a card, and your opponent immediately feels he has to try to remove it...then you are doing something right. If you can do that every single turn, then you are definitely doing something right.

In other words...tempo isn't about speed, necessarily, but about being able to consistently play better cards than your opponent.

Mana ramp and drawing power is keys to tempo. So are midrange/game decks. So, you are already off to a good start.

Here is what I try to have in almost every deck i Build:
---Cards that draw
---Cards that search for your cards
---Mana ramp
---Creature disruption cards
---Artifact/Enchantment cards.
---Two win conditions. Having just one win condition is weak.

Finally, with that said, it is also about balance. What the hell are you going to do, for example, if you have 20 cards in your deck with Mana Ramp...but have no high priced mana card to use all the mana ramp with?
Same with drawing cards...if you have 20 cards that draw you cards...and have no mana to play them...then it is wasteful and your opponent will gain the tempo advantage...and instead of him answering your threats...you will have to try to be answering his every turn. Not a good place to be.

Sorry Puschkin, for not having my own page for advice.
Just throwing my two cents out there.

Thank you. It is Wizard of Oz.

Yes, budget is hard to do in legacy. Hell...1500 dollars may actually be considered budget in Legacy!

However, it is very reasonable to have both a cheap deck and a good deck.
NorthernWarlord is king here, at doing that.

But here is my example. This deck is 7-0. Has not lost a single round.
And it cost 20 bucks.
It is possible.

I liked it. One up for me.

Doomed Traveler :)

That deck hurts my head with all of the cards that have just one copy in the deck! :)
I have a few Goblin decks myself. On this site.

Want to see a different concept at Goblins? Check this out:
http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/1-mana-goblins/

An entire Goblin deck where every single card is one mana! :)

Would only suggest more 1 mana/first turn drops.

Don't know much about tokens..but i do know that you want to get off to a good start. No way better than to have a deck that consistently has a first turn drop, every game.

Doomed Traveler looks nice. It provides first turn chump block. And when it dies you get a 1/1 token. So...actually it is like 2 1/1 creatures for one mana.

Thank you. Will check it out.

I love Goblins! Deck looks pretty solid. I do not play Modern, so can't really give much advice. I love Goblin Lackey (vintage/legacy). Not even sure how to make a Goblin deck without using him.

I have not. I should though.
