What about a Rustic Clachan or two? Flavourwise it's nice, and has a mildly useful ability. Plus it's unlikely to come in tapped with the number of Kithkin you have.

I missed the whole Lorwyn block and always thought those Kithkin looked a bit unnerving — time to make my opponents feel uncomfortable by unleashing a Kithkin tribal assault! I'm waiting on cards to construct this, but have got the Lorwyn panorama for the plains and swamps (https://i.imgur.com/GK1ja0n.png), and a few Rustic Clachan s.

Play-testing the deck was fun, but I might opt for this to be a "pure" Kithkin clan in my little meta — maybe some Mosquito Guard to replace the shapeshifter.

Thoughtweft Sacrifice U/W (one hybrid mana)

Tribal Instant - Kithkin

Target Kithkin gains +2/+0 and lifelink until end of turn. Until end of turn, when that creature dies, you may search your library for a land named Rustic Clachan, put it onto the battlefield tapped, and shuffle your library.

There is no greater deed for kithkin than self-sacrifice.

Anointed Procession comes to mind, obviously.

Also consider Llanowar Reborn and Rustic Clachan and Oran-Rief, the Vastwood in your maybe board for their +1/+1 counters.

I dunno dude. Looks good to me. +1

ZorrosRage on Kithkin soldiers back in 2018?

I just think of it this way. Flagstones of Trokair has 0 downside is a plains that replaces itself. Not needed just a suggestion. Don't need to invest if you can't get them for supper cheap

If GQ is useless just tap for colorless. GQ can be just used as land vs 1 color decks and is rare to see 1 colour decks. Also vs 1 color decks I'll GQ your Windbrisk Heights if you can get it's effect. There is too many good non basic lands not to use it. Half the time single color decks have utility lands still.

Another land Rustic Clachan if you want to try it for flavor. Could be fun to use it's super cheap. Not an amazing card but it's a flavor win

First thing is buy 4xPath to Exile though it's the best removal.

Thinking about it other good ideas to test are

1 Mirror Entity

4 Spectral Procession they just win games especially with honor

1 or 2 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar

Looks pretty fun.

I would personally have 4 of Wizened Cenn. Maybe Rustic Clachan, Ballyrush Banneret, Cenn's Heir and Preeminent Captain.

SynergyBuild on Ultra-Budget: Teenage Mutant Ninja Wizards

So far none of these Ultra Budgets have been very competitive in modern, considering the speed of the meta I can't imagine them working to well. I want to build a more competitive one. I do really like the idea, and some (Like the elemental fling one) were still very good. The issue was that they were around 40+ dollars, rather than 20-10 dollar price range.

---

I tried to make one using the Heroic keyword, building it around cantrips that target creatures (like Bandage and Defiant Strike) along with good heroic abilities like Phalanx Leader and Favored Hoplite, filling the mana curve out with Lagonna-Band Trailblazer, Fabled Hero, and Vanguard of Brimaz, and it works suprisingly well, winning turn 4-5 on average, but I did have a game with a turn 3 kill, just because of the synergy that can be acomplished with the strive mecahanic of Launch the Fleet, targetting my two Phalanx Leaders, two Vanguard of Brimaz, and a Fabled Hero to get a board of giant (3/3 & 4/4) cats, and a giant Fabled Hero (5/5 Double Strike) for a big win.

Another Idea for a super budget is a combo deck, one that uses 2x Zombie Infestation & 4x Treasure Hunt, 4x Reliquary Tower and finishing the deck with 25x Swamp and 25x Island, I will let you imagine hoe the deck wins!

Another powerful budget deck is Kithkin! They have one of the cheapest good lords with Wizened Cenn and have Ballyrush Banneret, Rustic Clachan, Goldmeadow Stalwart, and a bunch of other great tribal elements at a cheap price. That kind of deck is also able to be easily upgraded for a still small price, with cards like Knight of Meadowgrain, Honor of the Pure, Militia's Pride, and Thoughtweft Trio for not extreme prices.

An easy deck to build is mono-white "2 for 1", its a deck I built a while back around just dropping cards like Expedition Envoy, Dragon Hunter, Dryad Militant, Mardu Woe-Reaper, Savannah Lions, Elite Vanguard, etc. backing them up by using Brave the Elements, and Honor of the Pure if you want. For a cheap version, you don't need to, and even for one that runs Isamaru, Hound of Konda and Kytheon, Hero of Akros, the deck cost less than 30 dollars.

The point of the comment is that I feel that though these decks are interesting and fun to play with, if competitive decks for a low cost are required, I think more competitive decks for a cheaper (or equal) cost are possible.

In the case of this deck (similar to neg counters), it requires the opponent to be playing creatures, and also be playing slowly enough, or with out removal, for you to steal them. This deck also doesn't have any way of dealing with the graveyard, has no sideboard, can't remove creatures, enchantments, lands, or artifacts opponents control, and though the deck is slow, it doesn't have the control elements like counter spells to support it, even though it is in the colors... It also can't speed the deck up with ramp or draw even though it is in the colors! Blue/green card draw could also help with Lorescale Coatl and ramp could make Nimbus Swimmer a seriously viable option.

If you do want ramp/draw, Explore is a super cheap option. More cantrip buffs could also help with the deck consistency, and I could go on and on, but it just seems like you didn't look at the deck for play-ability, but instead based on random cards you thought would be cool. I can't help look through every card to try and make this a viable option, because in the end I don't think it is an option, against pretty much any meta modern deck, where as my Heroic deck beats Naya Burn more often than not, and can stand to fight Affinity and Death's Shadow too. It doesn't stand a chance against Tron or make other decks, but this one can't stand against pretty much any.
