If I remember correctly, a budget version that has worked for some players in the past is Mono-green defenders. They generally rely on Overgrown Battlement and Wall of Roots to accelerate early mana. Sometimes they include Joraga Treespeaker and Oracle of Mul Daya. It'd also make Green Sun's Zenith much easier to use. Also, a potential budget Candelabra that someone posted is Deserted Temple. Basic optimal plan would be defenders -> turn 3 Primeval Titan -> Win with Eldrazi T4, 5, or 6.

One thing to be wary of though is this deck has to commit to the field, so it suffers to creature removal. In those cases, Explore, Rampant Growth, or even Farseek (if you're playing Breeding Pool) could work to mitigate the dependency on the field, and Crop Rotation is not an expensive card. It'd take me awhile to tinker with the idea, but I could probably find or brew something... You should probably be looking too. The deck has gone through two threads (here's the other one), and I'm still mining both of them for new information.
