Core+Lands (aka what I will pay/trade for)
4 Bloodsoaked Champion
4 Tymaret, the Murder King
4 Grim Haruspex
3 Athreos, God of Passage
4 Butcher of the Horde
3 Purphoros, God of the Forge
2 Nomad Outpost
2 Temple of Silence
2 Temple of Malice
3 Temple of Triumph
4 Swamp
3 Mountain
3 Plains
2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
That leaves me with a whopping 17 Flex Slots dedicated to budget removal, disruption, and contingency plans (main and possibly side). The non-budget version of that would be:
2 Elspeth, Sun's Champion
4 Hero's Downfall
1 Murderous Cut
4 Thougthseize
3 Despise
3 Utter End
Out of those, however, Elspeth 3.0, Downfall, and Seize all cost a pretty penny. Not that I can't see why: their utility and power-level earn them that price tag in that format (Seize especially since it has applications outside of Standard). However, I simply cannot afford both the core+lands and the supplemental spells as currently listed.
Therefore, I ask for your help: what 17 spells (and, if possible, 15 SB) would you use in place of those, given a budget of about $50 after buying Core+Lands?
