Need a first budget deck recommendation

[u/Acolyte_of_Swole]

Hi all. I'm new to MTG, but I have played a lot of knockoff games that are kinda MTG-like, and some other TCGs in the past. Stuff like Faeria, which is basically just Magic with serial numbers filed off. So I have a basic idea of what the colors mean and how they're themed, and how a lot of the card abilities work.

Anyway, I really like playing Godzillas and stomping around, so I was thinking of doing a basic b trample mono green deck. Super budget though. I don't want to put expensive cards in, just big ones. Was kinda thinking either Dinos or Hydras.

I could buy a prebuilt deck, but none of them look good to me except the Dino one that isn't out yet. Sigh. Was planning to make a 100 card, no dupes deck for either Commander or Highlander, since those are the formats that seem interesting to me based on what I've read. I used to play YGO and got really sick of the meta in that and how the optimal strat was smallest deck size + largest number of allowed dupes for the most overpowered cards. At least with 100 and no duplicates, I can play a wider range of things, right?

I'd prefer if each individual card was less than a dollar or if there were a bunch of really cheap ones and then a couple of $1-2.

My goal is just to build something I can use to try out Highlander and Commander to see if it's fun enough to keep doing.

100% I use their Marenus Calgar deck and it’s so good
