Not actually advocating this, but if you wanted to show them something really exotic, Manaless Dredge is about $60 (without sideboard) according to TCGPlayer.
It is a deck that plays no lands, starts the game by doing nothing for a turn, then discarding at end of turn for having too many cards in hand, then very quickly dumps the whole deck into the graveyard and its creatures keep coming back from the dead. A video showing it in action is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw9J-n4nw2Y
The downsides are
1) It's not very fun to play against, because your turns take forever and then they are suddenly dead
2) The cards are completely useless in any other deck
3) It plays basically the same every game, so it's not even that fun for the pilot after a while :-)
Hi again! Thanks for that list, heard about it indeed.
I got indeed Daze and Brainstorm, but i thought that Daze wasn't that good without dedicated lands?
That list is clearly under my budget so i lf you see some upgrades, feel free!
Also, no spell banishing a creature for 1 white and giving his owner life? Seemed that it was quite strong in white decks.
Waiting for your details
Daze needs a lot of "Island"-typed lands. Either
a) 14 Island (all-blue deck)
b) 6 Island-typed lands + 8 lands to fetch them (2-color deck)
Your budget Delver deck didn't have enough "Island" lands to make Daze good. Delver normally uses expensive lands like Volcanic Island ("Island") and Scalding Tarn (fetch).
For the Spirits deck I designed the mana to have 7 Island + 8 fetches (4 Evolving Wilds, 4 Ash Barrens). Daze should work. The high number of basic Islands is fine because most of the spirits are blue.
Brainstorm also wants lands that shuffle your library (4 Evolving Wilds + 4 Ash Barrens), so you can put back 2 cards you don't want and shuffle them away.
You mean Swords to Plowshares? It's in the list above Brainstorm. Yes, it's very strong!
If you have more budget, buy some Prismatic Vista to replace Evolving Wilds. Lands entering untapped is better. It's expensive but a good investment. It can fit into any 2 color deck you make later.
