I'm planning to create a database of viable budget decks w/o duals, and I already have a few. Any new ideas would be appreciated.

Mono-Blue Fish
//1cc
4x Manta Riders/ Flying Men
4x Curiosity
//2cc
4x Rootwater Thief/ Spiketail Hatchling
4x Lord of Atlantis/ Voidmage Prodigy
4x Cloud of Faeries
4x Daze/ Stifle
4x Standstill
3x Null Rod
//5cc
4x Force of Will
2x Misdirection
//Land
10x Island
1x Strip Mine
4x Wasteland
4x Faerie Conclave
4x Mishra's Factory
SB:
4x Energy Flux
4x Chill
4x Waterfront Bouncer
3x Gilded Drake
This is a classic and viable dual-less budget deck, and probably the best right now, plus it has almost limitless metagame options.

Cherry Parfait
//0cc
1x Mox Diamond
//1cc
4x Land Tax
4x Swords to Plowshares
4x Orim's Chant
2x Gorilla Shaman
1x Sol Ring
//2cc
4x Isochron Scepter
4x Fire/Ice
4x Scroll Rack
1x Balance
//3cc
3x Blood Moon
3x Aura of Silence
//4cc
2x Humility
2x Goblin Charbelcher
//Land
1x Strip Mine
4x Wasteland
13x Plains
3x Mountain
SB:
4x Rack and Ruin
4x Red Elemental Blast
4x Abeyance
3x Tormod's Crypt
This is a deck that has been around for about five years, and it's often referred to as the budget player's Keeper, as it's play style is very similar.

Slax
//1cc
4 Goblin Welder
1 Black Vise
1 Mana Vault
1 Sol Ring
//2cc
4 Sphere of Resistance
2 Ankh of Mishra
4 Pyrostatic Pillar
3 Winter Orb
//3cc
1 Wheel of Fortune
3 Blood Moon
//4cc
4 Juggernaut
5cc//
2 Karn, Silver Golem
1 Memory Jar
2 Mind's Eye
//7cc
4 Myr Enforcer
//Land
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
2 Crystal Vein
2 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
1 Tolarian Academy
7 Mountain
SB
4 Rack and Ruin
2 Duplicant
2 Pyrokinesis
2 Boil
4 Tormod's Crypt
1 Blood Moon
This is one of the most succesful budget Workshop decks to this date.

Mono-Black Dragon

//Disruption
4 Duress
4 Last Rites
//Search
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Entomb
4 Jalum Tome
1 Demonic Tutor
//Combo
2 Ambassador Laquatus
3 Verdant Force
4 Worldgorger Dragon
4 Necromancy
4 Animate Dead
4 Buried Alive
//Mana
1 Mana Crypt
1 Sol Ring
1 City of Traitors
3 Ancient Tomb
14 Swamp
4 Dark Ritual
Once agian, if anyone has any ideas, feel free to post them.

I don't quite see the use of a 'gauntlet' of decks without duals.  Maybe a large list would be better.  Any tournament, unless specifically stated, is going to have dual lands and multicolored decks.  What is the use of a testing gauntlet of those without?

Do a search on Osawa Stompy... if I remember correct it is played without duals and a budget version is possible.

*Edit* I now see you want a database... that is a much better word for this than 'gauntlet'.

Yeah, gauntlet probably wasn't the right word. Also, I havn't seen any Oshawa Stompy decklists w/0 bazaar, and it seems hard to replace, but I'll see if I can find a replacement.

Oshawa stompy really needs bazaars, one of its main strengths is that it can outdraw nearly any deck with bazaar. without bazaar it loses alot of speed and mid game punch.

I dont think that cherry parfait is the way to go with parfait.  I have been doing testing with mono-white parfait and have liked it much more.  The main reason to run red is for blood moon, but since parfait can just combo out with charbelcher it no longer needs to control the game for unrealistic periods of time in order to win, I will post a list when I am done with it.

Slax doesn't use Duals at all. I don't want to go posting my list everywhere, but there's a discussion on it in this forum.

So budget is less than say 100$ or what?  I've considered budget just without power... and this specifically without duals.  If we are coming up with decks under a certain price range (Duals too expensive) then this is like ultra-budget.  I considered this to be a list of the Monocolored 'budget' decks.

Anyway... (search on these... if you cant find a list, then i'll post some)

I like your Fish decklist.  Smile

Oshawa Stompy is definitely possible because most tournaments allows 5 proxies (it isn't if they don't). Same goes with Spoils-Mask.

Green LD?

Food Chain Goblins uses few green cards, making duals quite important. I'm going to post Slax, and maybe Vineyard TnT( I figured out an efficient dual-less manabase). Mono-G land destruction is very much a metagame deck, but will possibly be included. Not all tournaments allow five proxies, so those decklists won't be included.

Flurp: Red also adds Fire/Ice and Gorilla Shaman maindeck, and REB and Rack and Ruin sideboard. Honestly, it's well worth it to splash red.
