i need a solid modern deck for fnm for under $125 with a sideboard i am open to any deck but i prefer control and slower decks
Probably, I'm not an expert in it, but they mostly run Remand and Izzet Charm in blue.

Scapeshift isn't really cheap with the land base needed to make it work.
For cheap decks, consider Soul Sisters/Martyr. It is classified as a mono white control deck. Basically you gain life and card advantage using cards like Soul Warden , Soul's Attendant , Squadron Hawk and Martyr of Sands , and then Ajani's Pridemate and Serra Ascendant to beat face. http://www.mtgdecks.net/decks/viewByArchetype/982
RDW is pretty cheap too. Burn spells are cheap if you do mono red. http://www.mtgdecks.net/decks/viewByArchetype/800
If you want help brewing a cheap modern deck, drop me a note on my profile. I can help.

Check out my Pyromancer Ascension deck. The only things worth more than $2.50 in the entire deck are the lands. My sideboard is still in the works, so I wouldn't suggest copying that.
Jon Finkel's sideboard was really strong and got him into the top 16 at Grand Prix Portland (he lost to a Mana Tithe ). His build is also really strong, but I've opted for more Peer Through Depths and Simian Spirit Guide s over Increasing Vengeance .
U/R Pyromancer Ascension Storm can kill people on turn four consistently, occasionally on turn three, and almost guaranteed by turn five. The best part is that the deck is worth like $300 max and that's with the full set of Scalding Tarn s and Misty Rainforest s.

Whatever you build, the name of the deck has to be "Nobody Loves Me"

And it has to run Moldgraf Monstrosity , so that your life can be spared from it.

KrazyCaley, you're a sucker for the classics aren't you? I like it.

Try this. The weird combo deck is pretty cheap, and easy to make small modifications to.

Does it have to be competetive? I think burn will get you there... dont need to splurge on lands, expensive format staples and with all the shock/fetch action all the multi-colour decks are running they practically Lightning Bolt themselves on a regular basis which gets you closer to winning. Though, i'd look into SB options against soul sister variants... Torpor Orb probably...

Here's a pretty solid modern deck I just made recently, and it's pretty damn cheap too with an average cost of under $10 ;) Deadly Snakes Obviously it could be improved with shock-lands, but I was making this without trying to use any rares or mythics.

heuertag already referenced this, but a Blistercoil Weird and Paradise Mantle combo deck is cheap and fast. My version of it is Storm and Eggs, but the most popular one on this site is I Wash My Hands Of This Weirdness.

Here is a control deck I built, it's infect...although it's right in your budget frame. It's not super fast, but it's not slow either. You can buy it with the sidboard for less than $55. Check it out... Mono-Blue Artifect

There is a Blue Tron deck a friend of mine made, as of now it's undefeated, it only cost about 100.

A scapeshift variant might be what you want/need. The core is Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle , Scapeshift and Stomping Ground + mountains. It's R/U/G with counters and red burn to destroy threats, finishing up Scapeshift to sacrifice all your lands (you probably want 8 in play), to get 2x valkut and mountains to finish. The damage from valkut stacks, so if two are in play, that's 6 damage for each mountain you play. Pretty damn annoying with the Remand and Pyroclasm and other counters/burn.
