This deck is a budget deck ($24.98 at the time of posting via TCGPlayer optimized) focusing on the idea of a Laboratory Maniac win. The deck revolves around the card Tunnel Vision ; by using any of the various Scry cards, we can know the bottom card of our library and we can use Tunnel Vision to effectively mill ourselves out for the victory from Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries . If we don't have them available yet, we can always hit our opponents with cards like Hinder + Tunnel Vision , setting up the bottom card of their library and then milling the rest of their deck. There's a couple of cards which tutor for the Laboratory Maniac and/or Tunnel Vision to make the deck function more reliably, as well as some like Mnemonic Wall to return Tunnel Vision to our hand if we need to recast it. To protect ourselves until we can get our combo to work, I've included a list of counterspells, some of which can also Scry to fix the bottom card of our library. Finally, I've included a set of creatures which support either card draw, scrying, creating creature tokens for blockers, or just being beaters to finish off an opponent if our primary and secondary strategies have both failed.

Edit: Apparently Gifts Ungiven is banned, so I've replaced it with Sai, Master Thopterist. The latter is cheaper, so it should still be under $25 budget.
