Affordable ~ Legacy Deck 2018

As legacy goes, this is a slow deck. Thus, I have cards to slow it down: Fog, Moment's Peace, Tangle, and Undergrowth; this sort of theme is common to a few of my decks.  Then, I have Blanchwood Armor, Primal Bellow, and Gigantiform, which are designed to pump smaller creatures that cost 1-2 mana, such as Dryad Sophisticate, and Treetop Scout, such that both are seemingly unblockable, and even if they are there is always Rancor that connects well with Blanchwood Armor.

Deck The Walls ~ 2018 ~ Pauper

Overgrown Battlement and Axebane Guardian, along with the 15 other defenders, reel in the mana to cast the fat creatures.   Carnivorous Plant and Grave Bramble add some prevention with their power.  As far as mana ramping goes, respectfully, I think the Overgrown Battlement and Axebane Guardian combo is far better than the similar Priest of Titania and Elvish Archdruid combo goes, because the defenders usually offer a better trade off.  They are both harder to kill, and better at defense, such that one can have some time to bring out the beat sticks better than Elves do.

The defenders, or "Walls," is how this deck got its name.  It is a spoof off of the Christmas song, "Deck the Halls."

Dysentery Formula ~ Pauper Infect ~ 2018

With all the blue stuff that can make this card unblockable, alone Tel-Jilad Fallen is the hardest hitter in the deck, and I suspect that you will be able to give him more with cards such as Groundswell, Vines of Vastwood, and Phytoburst.

Trinity's Triad of Fates ~ CMDR 2017

The way to use Triad of Fates is to pay 1 to add a fate counter to a lowly token (such as a Servo).  Then, pay 1 using something to untap Triad of Fates either Magewright's Stone or something like it.  Then, pay another black mana to tap Triad of Fates again.  Exile the token.  Then, draw 2 card.

Vicious Resurrections ~ Peasant Green White

Here are the rules I use:

https://mtg-craig-hamilton.blogspot.com/2019/07/mtg-peasant-rules-i-use.html

This deck tries to create tons of tokens with cards like Eyeless Watcher that makes two tokens in addition to itself, and Kozilek's Predator which also makes two tokens in addition to itself.  These are then meant to be pumped by Overrun and Triumph of the Hordes.  And, if they die, so what?  Evolution Charm or Wildwood Rebirth put them back into play with even more tokens.

This is the mechanic. 

Play something like Eyeless Watcher.  It creates 2 tokens.

Then, attack with Eyeless Watcher.  The best thing that can happen to you are forced to put it in the graveyard because then you can bring it out with Evolution Charm, and recast it so you with have a total of 4 tokens.  Combine an attack with an uncommon and slam! ~ It's game over.
