I am interested on building an Anafenza deck on a budget, what cards do you recommend me?
I currently own a foil Siege Rhino, Figure of Destiny, Azorius Herald, Anafenza the formost and some effective dual lands from origins.
I like the idea of a UW Spirit Deck weenie aggro with creature control. Playing on tribal synergy in a tribe ripe with weird little control elements on weenies.
Aggressive/Tribal Synergy Creatures:
- Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit
- Rattlechains
- Drogskol Captain
- Figure of Destiny
- Azorius Herald
- Mausoleum Wanderer
Control Creatures:
- Mausoleum Wanderer (again)
- Nebelgast Herald
- Spirit of the Labyrinth
- Kataki, War's Wage
- Eidolon of Rhetoric
As budget grows could upgrade to:
Spell sweet flexibility:
- Standard white/blue removal/control package
- efficient spirit token cards from the B/W Tokens list (Lingering Souls or Spectral Possession or
- Anthems (Honor of the Pure or Spear of Heliod,

That's just bad Bant Spirits, really. Anafenza is not a good 2-drop for a real aggro deck, and moving to tempo strongly pushes you in the direction of Noble Hierarch and Collected Company.

I checked on my binders and my card box. I have a Siege Rhino (foil), Figure of Destiny, Azorius Herald, Anafenza (legendary creature) and some good solid uncommons.

Uh... which Anafenza? Anafenza, the Foremost, or Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit? If it's the former, Wilted Abzan fits the bill, but that deck's not budget at all. It typically runs utility creatures like Birds of Paradise, Noble Hierarch, and Voice of Resurgence to buy time or ramp, then slams down big threats like Anafenza, Loxodon Smiter, Siege Rhino, and Wilt-Leaf Liege. On the removal front, you mainly have Path to Exile and Abrupt Decay, with stuff like Maelstrom Pulse and Engineered Explosives in the sideboard. Does that sound like what you're looking for? If not, I'm not sure what you can really do with it. The Kin-Tree Spirit is a bear with upside - not exactly aggro material.
