Deck discussion for Budget Decks: Djinn (?)

Since there are so few quality djinns and since you already have red in your deck, I recommend to expand to djinns and efreets. That gives you access to the exellent Frenetic Efreet, Shah of Naar Isle, Wildfire Emissary, Shimmering Efreet and may Serendib Efreet (the last one may not fit the budget).

Your instants are a bit off. Stoic Rebuttal!? With a total of 3 artifacts? Even if you had more, an ordinary counterspell would be better. And if you are worried because of the almost-dollar that a counterspell costs, there are alternatives at 3 or less mana like Dissolve, if you have them mainly to protect your creatures I sugest the exellent Confound. Then Shock? And Volt Charge ... you have only 6 cards that can make use of that proliferate. I'd rather have something solid like Elektrolyze/Prophetic Bolt or good old Incinerate instead. But I agree that Volt Charge has some style because it's used rarely. Then again, if you are speculating on your Djinn Illuminatus, Grapheshot is probably the burner to go! If you replicate him 2 times, you'll have, let's see, 6 damage, if you do that in the opponent's turn and he cat at least one spell, you are already at 10 damage :)

I would prefer Izzet Signet over the Iron Myrs because they don't die that fast.
