Do you guys have any suggestions for a build around 300-400 that's competitive? Any help is appreciated

Hi jmayle, if you have already a list link it, I will take a look. If you want take some ideas Animar, Soul of Victorious is my list. You play 1vs1 or multy??

I've been playing Animar, Soul of Elements for over four years and he's suuuper fun. I highly recommend it!
Here's the link to my deck so you can check it out. It's moved beyond a budget build, but it has a lot of the cheapo staples like Shrieking Drake, Ancestral Statue, Dream Stalker, Man-o'-War, Temur Sabertooth, Peregrine Drake, Cloud of Faeries, etc
I'd absolutely recommend picking up Cloudstone Curio and Purphoros, God of the Forge. Curio let's you capitalize on your ETB triggers, and purph will bring down the house on your opponents
Palinchron can go infinite with animar and enough blue-producing lands. Deadeye Navigator and Great Whale are more staples.
You'll definitely need all the draw-card sources you can get. Animar tends to puke your hand onto the board quickly, leaving you open to boardwipes. Soul of the Harvest, Shaman of the Great Hunt, Primordial Sage, Zendikar Resurgent, Consecrated Sphinx if you can afford it, etc
To stop wipes you can use Mystic Snake, Draining Whelk, Stratus Dancer, etc. Interaction like Duplicant and Phyrexian Ingester are always good ideas. Ainok Survivalist, Reclamation Sage, Indrik Stomphowler, and Acidic Slime are all good
That's all from me for now. Be sure to swing by edhrec.com for a bazillion more ideas!

Maybe try running a value creature deck. Ruric Thar, the Unbowed to punish those that don't run creatures. You could also put in lots of hydras because they'll cost less because of animar. Omnath, locust of mana and Kruphix, God of Horizons to make more and more Mana. You'll also want lots of Mana dorks Shaman of Forgotten Ways plays into the value creature theme. Rashmi, Eternities Crafter is a fun creature to have in the deck.
