Probably the most budget (and still good) deck in vintage is White Weenie, it has placed well in large European tournaments and can be made for almost as much as legacy dredge. This Viable budget deck uses the strong hate bears available to white, along with tempo and broad hate pieces to lock out opponents and slowly take over the board. If you like a Death and Taxes style strategy this deck is for you.

Here’s Massimiliano Guadagni’s list from D-Day V

http://www.deckcheck.de/deck.php?id=24945
4th place, 123 players

//Creature [25]
2 Aven Mindcensor
2 Grand Abolisher
1 Jotun Grunt
3 Kataki, War's Wage
4 Leonin Arbiter
4 Leonin Relic-Warder
3 Simian Spirit Guide
3 Student of Warfare
3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
//Instant [3]
3 Swords to Plowshares
//Artifact [6]
3 Grafdigger's Cage
1 Lotus Petal
2 Porcelain Legionnaire
//Enchantment [4]
1 Oblivion Ring
3 Stony Silence
//Land [22]
4 Ghost Quarter
1 Karakas
12 Plains
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland



As you can see this strategy put Massimiliano into the top 4 with nothing more expensive than karakas . The deck gets even better in a proxy environment because you can add black lotus, making the deck much faster. Cards like mana crypt and sol ring aren’t what this deck wants as it abuses stony silence to lock out artifact mana (and time vault). If you’re getting into vintage from legacy or want to own your entire deck and play at gencon or other sanctioned events this is worth looking into.
