So I was curious how good a deck you could make just buying it off the market and limiting yourself to 150g. I think this one is actually pretty good. The total came to 125g. There is only one uncommon the Temple of Zorn but it was about 1/2 the price of other uncommons. I think a non-sylvan deck would be cheaper actually since the sylvan commons are in higher demand.

This deck has 3 things going on... The normal Sylvan rush, Beastmasters with the manticores, and hopefully the Maulers buffed by sparrow scouts, temple of Zorn, or Bindweed.

Buildings: (8)
1x Temple of Zorn
3x Bamboo Watch Tower
1x Great Oak
3x Grove

Creatures: (20)
1x Tenderfoot Archer
2x The Coldstream Guard
3x Sapling
1x Treeherd
2x Stone Mauler
3x Dimwitted Manticore
3x Dellenari Beastmaster
1x Tangler
1x Thistle Falcon
3x Mosslight Slor

Enchants: (6)
2x Mis-Scribed Circle
3x Entangle
1x Sparrow Scouts

Spells: (6)
3x Bindweed Poultice
3x Ascent

Total: 40

I'll see how it does in the next GC Prelim...

funny,
while the commity is talking about the gold in this game (that it is to difficult to get it)
jed post a deck for 150g, this mean you must only win one tournament.....

I tried this when I first started I was limiting my self to 250 tho.... and I still screwed up I was still getting use to the cards and had to change things around a few times. 250s a bit higher but i was trying to buy uncommons as well.

But here it is stripped down a bit to be closer to 150 (current market) but commons seem to average 4 gold so its pretty tough.

3x flame ent
3x prodigal entropene
3x cinder mogi
3x sleet mogi
3x flamekin
2x shield warrior
2x sunburst
2x horns to hide
2x manipulation
3x negate
2x reconstruction
1x electric storm
2x sinkhole (just got one for 20g)
2x Vapor mahal
2x Mogi den
2x Dwarven hall
2x magma chamber
1x alabaster pantheon

if your lucky you could get this for 150g. It might not be tier 1 but its plays ok. youve got loads of combat tricks and a really unload some fire power with the entropene and a cinder mogi. Horns to hide is great with flame ents and later you can try and buf him with the electrical storm.

5 Minor clashes played, 3 won

2 Vapor Mahal
3 Bamboo Watchtower
2 Grove
2 Mogi Nest

3 Elven Scout
3 Hawks(never remember correct name)
3 Flame Ent
2 Coldstream Guard
2 Any one-domain, 2 or less casting cost creatures(don't remmeber which I have)

3 Sunburst
3 Entangle
3 Ascent
3 Cloudburst
3 Flash Flood
3 Tremor

I think 150g is to squeeze the orange a bit much!
Any deck with a total cost under 150g pretty much consists of commons + some uncommons or 1-3 cheap rares. That's it. There's no room for more pricey cards!

I do believe that it is possible to create decks for less than 150g, but there are a lot of cards which would not be possible to use in a 150g budget deck that could be used in a 200-300g budget deck.

Inspired by a deck I was beaten by in a clash last night, I created a list of 41 cards.
I made the list just to see how much it would take to put all the cards in it together.
5 basic domain bases, 3 copies of one uncommon, 33 commons. It's not a sylvan deck.
The deck it was inspired by had a few more uc's or rares, and went all the way to the final, I didn't see the result of the final match. I believe this one could do the same.
The uncommon card was estimated between 30g and 40g per card. The rest was commons of estimated value between 2 and 6. Estimated min. total cost: 165g, estimated max. total cost: 215g. I do believe that the majority of the players are able to obtain these cards fairly easy.

I didn't see any budget DL deck so I decided to make one. I worked on this deck for a few weeks and got second in numerous clashes before winning with this version. Sylvan decks are the biggest problem for DL decks which is why i have the black plagues and the foul termite swarm. The dank pits/Astridian forum are extremely important since other decks will take flux wells much easier than you can. There are some nice combos in the deck such as Altar of Ix + Planar Rift and Possession + sacrifice effect. If you want to add more expensive cards Drain Blood and nether Plasma are very strong cards. This deck would also benefit from more ways to take flux wells such as Claimed with Blood or more buildings. If you look for good prices on the cards you should be able to make this deck for less than 150g.

Buildings: (9x)
1x Astridian Forum
3x Dank Pit
2x Altar of Ix
3x Graveyard

Creatures: (16x)
2x Hell Cat
2x Carrion Feeder
2x Medium of the 3rd Circle
2x Soul Broker
1x Astridian Diplomat
3x Crypt Doctor
1x Stone Mauler
3x Red Imp

Enchants: (8x)
2x Black Plague
1x Demonic Surge
2x Possession
2x Planar Rift
1x Foul Termite Swarm

Spells: (7x)
2x Lysis
2x Nefarious Research
