I don't know why the hyperlink didn't work, that was weird. Just copy and paste this into your address bar:

If you haven't already, consider a Commander Preconstructed deck. You can buy it for around 40$ and can play them right out of the box. Here's a link to buy the newest set They aren't quite as good as they were last year but they're still solid for just jumping in
Tomer from MTGgoldfish has a great series on budget commanders.
Commanders Quarters does 25$ decks on their youtube channel!

How about a deck around Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma? If you want to see my list, just head over to my profile, deckname is "her royal fluffness". Goreclaw can be build very cheap as most of the more important pieces aren't to expensive. It just needs ramp and fatties, and everything else is up to you.

I put this together In His Belly, $60 Grothama it is actuall under $50. Never played it but the original is quite fun, In His Belly, it should run pretty close to the same.
Otherwise I would recommend going to The Commander's Quarters or rummage through EDHRec and filter by cheap.
This shows the average cards for a cheap muldrotha build as an example.

Hey, consider a mono colored Commander? With mono colored you don't have to worry about getting expensive price dual lands for the manabase or playing sub-par duals because of the low budget. Some options are:

I have spents days working on this exact thing, these decks show under or at $20 on TCGPlayer Averages, but given you run moderately played, heavily played, or damaged cards these decks often are less than $10!

Thanks! I'm not really into mono color decks but i do think that a mono green or mono red (Krenko) would be fun and cheap. I'll also check EDHrec for some commanders! I did buy plunder the graves a few years ago, and I made some changes but I would like to keep upgrading that one!

I’ve made many budget decks, some definitely better than others. If you’re interested in looking at them https://tappedout.net/mtg-deck-folders/-budget-commander/
If you have any questions about which commander is best for you, I can help you decide on one

Ok cool! I'm thinking (even though it's not that cheap ;) of going with a Vial Smasher the Fierce deck (my cousin made one, and it was really fun! I'll try and check out some more of your decks.

You can get a sealed Wade into battle deck (sealed 2015 commander deck)for about 30-35 sealed online deck value if you bought the cards fluctuates between 80 and 90 is a giant deck has some really nice cards you can put into other decks in the future

Xenagos, God of Revels is pretty fun and cheap. Xenagos, God of "You're Swinging with a HOW BIG?" is my take on it, even though it isn't fully optimized it still runs pretty well against most decks.

Personally I would build Edric, Spymaster of Trest. Sure, you can take it the expensive Temporal Manipulation-esque route, but also just drawing massive amounts of value with your Scryb Sprites and Cloud of Faeries can be a blast.

I'll consider Xenagos,(love your deck name btw) I already have a playset of him and a few nice cards for a deck, Thanks! As for wade into battle, I don't much like boros decks,plus I don't really want to buy a premade deck whithout upgrading it a good amount. Thanks though!

Another good tip would be to look at a couple of the competitive decks that look interesting to you, and then see which powerful effects you can find on cheaper cards. They’ll usually have a bit of a drawback or additional cost, but they’re getting you almost exactly the same effect for a negligible price. And you can always slowly upgrade to the Uber-powerful cards as your playgroup gets stronger.

I've made my decklist for my commander deck, Goblin Tantrum, it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is for me. I already own the more expensive cards like Teferi's Protection and The Locust God ;)

You should try Neheb, the Eternal as a burn deck, as burn spells are pretty cheap. You could look at I Move to Postcombat... for ideas I (you could take out some of the expensive cards and make the deck a lot cheaper).

What a nice coincidence, I just entered into a contest to see who can build the best deck on $75.
You can probably find way better/cheaper decks on that subreddit too.
