Ever since I saw the new Daxos I wanted to brew an EDH deck with him at the helm. The more I thought about it the more I realized it would probably be pretty easy to make a cheapo deck and still have it be pretty decent so that's what I tried to do here. It might not be fantastic but it'll definitely make some of your friends wish they'd spent less money on their decks when you win.

Main strategy: Drop Daxos as soon as possible, protect him with enchantments and gain tons of experience counters, then ramp like mad and throw down huge enchantment creature tokens to stomp your enemies. Also can use cheapo enchantment creatures as blockers who usually have abilities when other enchantments come in and then will also give you experience counters. Has plenty of creature removal to slow your opponents down while you gather up your counters and amass your token army. Also has some card advantage thrown in there for good measure.

Notable combos:

Daxos the Returned+Heartstone = tokens for BW. Carnival of Souls is up to $5 so I had to cut it.

Vampiric Rites+Dark Prophecy= Sacrifice a creature for 1B, draw two cards.

And as a note, yes, I know it says at the bottom that the deck costs about $30 but if you check out at TCGplayer and take off the basic lands, it takes it down to just below $20, assuming you're alright with LP cards.
