Some friends of mine are doing a budget EDH league.

The rules

• $25 (not counting the general)
• Each month you may add $25 worth of cards to the deck or start a new deck (money can not be saved and is lost each month)
• Prices cap out at $125 (after 4 months)

The Deck

Being the fool I am I wanted to build a 5 color alternate win con deck with the restriction. The deck aims to collect 10 gates and activate mazes end to win the game. Logically I don't expect this deck to be incredibly competitive but in my view that will just make it far more rewarding if I can get the win.

The deck tries to cheat out as many gates as possible and also play as many 2 color cards to gain value off of Niv. It was a blast to build such a specific deck under such harsh restrictions and I'm really happy with the result.
