----- Budget Decks with Each Class to Beat the Elite Difficulty Practice (Bronze & Silver Cards Only) -----
Since the Hatsune Miku Tie-in event is ending soon, I finally decided to complete the Elite Practice achievements. So I made some budget decks as it's been a while since I've done any.
In the end, it turned out be a fun experiment. If I had to rank my decks, it would be: 1. Rally Sword - This is by far the best performing deck of all at all stages of the game.
2. Artifact Portal - It had been a long time since I had seen a Paradigm Shift. In both games, I managed to get at least 5 Airstrike Artifacts as early as turn 6, which made winning a cakewalk.
3. Storm Rune - This deck is the archetype that seemed the most unbalanced to me when I started playing Unlimited a few years ago. As long as you don't brick, it's pretty easy to throw all your cards on the board. This deck could use a few more cheaper spell cards to make it more consistent though. 4. Buff Dragon - With the addition of the new Dragon Buff cards in this expansion, this archetype has never been more consistent than it is today.
5. Burial Shadow - I haven't been able to create a budget deck around any particular mechanic, so I used Burial Rite here to generate a lot of shadows to spend on Necroimpulse or Hydra of Decay.
6. Greenwood Shadow - The old classic Forestcraft decks whose sole purpose is to flood the board with cheap followers until the opponent runs out of cards. With fairies, the Greenwood archetype makes a great addition.
7. Crystallize Haven - The Havencraft was honestly the most difficult class to create a budget deck. The win conditions for this class usually rely on Gold or Legendary cards. With that in consideration, I decided to make a Crystallize Haven deck to have a better conversion of PP to stats.
8. Wrath Blood - I expected Blood to be much higher given the old aggro style of play. Unfortunately, I was unable to create strong synergy with only bronze and silver cards. While it has great sustainability, it doesn't have enough draw and damage to consistently win games.
Honorable mention: Sharp Strategist is one of the best cards of all the cards I chose to create these decks. Having access to Stratagem on evolution and a great statline made Rally Sword extremely consistent, especially since there are many ways to easily draw him as a commander card.

You can find the decks below with a video showing the deck on the Elite 3 difficulty (Elite 2 for Yuwan).
