Hi everyone, ive always wanted to build the Humans deck but, as you know, its very expensive so i came out with differents variations of this deck but they never convinced me. Finally i came out with this variation that is, i think better tha the others, or at least more interesting. This is part of it:

//Creatures

4 Champion of the Parish

4 Harabaz Druid

4 Kazandu Blademaster

3 Kitesail Freebooter

4 Mantis Rider

4 Phantasmal Image

4 Reflector Mage

4 Thalia's Lieutenant

//Spells

2 Nevermore

2 Runed Halo

As you can see, i just changed 3 cards. Noble Heriarch >> Harabaz Druid . Thalia, Guardian of Thraben >> Kazandu Blademaster . And Meddling Mage >> Nevermore / Runed Halo .

The thing is that i dont know if its good enough to start. Im still searching for a substitude for Phantasmal Image , cuz here were i live its at least 15 euros each one. I dont know if i should go with only two or three Aether Vial , cuz its expensive too. Lands are another problem, Cavern of souls its really really expensive so i need a substitude. i guess ill go with Ancient Ziggurat and Unclaimed Territory but i dont know which other lands should i take.

This is my maybeboard: Kabira Evangel , Ondu Cleric , Oran-Rief Survivalist & Hardened Scales .

Thanks!!!

you could've just linked your deck instead of all the cards individually. 4 Aether Vial are really a must. they make the deck so much faster.

if budget is that much of a concern, it might be better to build a different deck that can be done cheaper.

If I were you, I would definitely go for some human equipment like Slayer's Plate or Butcher's Cleaver . And as a replacement of phantasmal image, I am particularly fond of Stolen Identity , Although it is quite expensive. I would say to take my word with a grain of salt, because I know nothing about the meta or anything.

something like this decklink might be a good way to start, thalia by far is too important a card to just not use her (though the linked deck I'd be more partial to Doomed Traveler over the vanguard) the deck lines also would be quite similar to how humans runs (the ally theme would more be an offshoot and teach you different lines than from just normal humans would take). now the list is also probably a bit outdated, but overall mono color will put you significantly more within budget and you can slowly build up to the full deck. or you could go with thalia over the images, she's just too important for tempo.

Don't you think Allies with a backup Rally the Ancestors -combokill would be better on such a tight budget than humans?
