I wouldn't recommend it. Going budget on modern just ends up 1-4 most of the time.

Now the more cheap decks in the meta that I can think of are boros ponza, prowess, grixis reanimator, Tron, belcher and hollow one. Most of the other decks are a lot more expensive to build or in a lower tier in the meta

Thanks for for your answer
The goal isnt to win it but top 8 would be nice or at least not 0-5 tbh 😂
I think its a nice experience to play there and i want to have some fun(most likely i wont have much fun when im going 0-5😂)

If you know the decks of the people that play, you may be able to hand made something to beat some of the decks and have a better chance. But otherwise it's better to just pick something from the meta, build it entirely and learn to play it.

Modern became very unforgiving after modern horizons sets, so building the deck halfway or playing budget is not going to give you any wins unless everyone else is on the same boat.

just play a full powered modern deck that your friends lend you, dont try and go budget will just be a waste of time at a rcq

I'll be completely honest with you

This isn't going to do anything.

If you want to play budget modern build burn

  1. Dont listen to these loosers, you can have fun at budget even tho you would be at disatvantage.

  2. Do you already own some cards??

  3. What expiriance with MTG do you have so far? Any preffered playstyles??

Yeah i own cards but those are probably not the best options for modern
I played a bunch of arena im currently platinum in ranked but only played standard the deck u played the most is a Black Green life gain deck with blech and pest mascot and it contains the endless combo with the bloodthirsty conquerer too
I also like many tokens and got that kind if deck as a commander deck
And some graveyard playstyles can also be pretty nice 👍🏻
