Just stay away from Bant, Sultai, and Temur for awhile. You will be fine.

Once you spread to another color, the price isn't too bad. I believe if you have a great Mardu mana base, the next logical color to spread too would be .

lands tend to be the most expensive.

McKz I wouldn't call a boring combo deck "Funny". Bant enchantress featuring cards like Forced Adaptation, Ajani, Mentor of Heroes, and Sage of Hours is funny, any win with Startled Awake  Flip is fucking hilarious, storm is... it uh... it exists.

I run a prison/stax style Queen Marchesa deck if you want some ideas!

Long May She Reign!

The monarch mechanic is great as it can help refuel your hand a bit. White and Black are going to be your primary prison colors most likely but enchantments like Smoke (which combos well with the numerous tap down effects) or Stranglehold are great additions from red. You could also run Price of Glory which is a big target. Maralen of the Mornsong can lock things down bad with Stranglehold in play.

The Queens Prison is the start of what i have, for the prison deck, ill take more suggestions.

I try not to advertise my decks too much on forums but I thought I'd mention it, my Marchesa build is very versatile and rather than being a prison strategy it wants to be attacked. Take a look if you're interested.
