Mono-White Soldiers has ended up being one of the Best Budget Builds from the 2023 season, and it owes it's strength to strong tribal synergy and efficient removal. Many of the cards in this list were budget concession and were heavily influenced by the NPE 2023 collection. These type of cards can easily be replaced by ones of similiar impact to better fit your collection and as time goes on and different options are made available. Humans is another strong and budget friendly mono-white tribal deck this year, with a lot of overlap in card selections, but just has preven to be as consistent for the cost. When it comes to completing "White Spell", "Cast Creature" and "Attack" Daily Quests, Britney (GW Toxic) is the sleeper winner. Not only does it come from a single set, it boasts a slightly high win-rate and contributes to "Cast Green" quests. https://aetherhub.com/Deck/budget-britney--toxic-one

Valiant Veteran is the signature Lord of the deck, pumping every creature and even contributing to the field from beyond the grave. Brutal Cathar is not essential, but well worth inclusion and wildcard consideration as he pulls double duty as a relivent body and a removal piece. Thalia, Guardian of Thrabenimage is often found in these lists as soldier which has seen multiple Arena printings, but I found her taxing nature wasn't always ideal for the deck. Guardian of New Benaliaimage was often a better fit, and a available in a budget friendly manner through the "Muscle" JumpIn 2023 pack. You collection and miliage may vary. Siege Veteran is hardly essential, but a worthy include if you have the option. He threatens your board position to grow out of control if left unchecked. He is very budget friendly, and available through the "Soldiers" JumpIn 2023 pack. Both of the mention JumIn 2023 packs are expected to remain available through the 2024 JumpIn season.

This suite of cards represents very budget friendly options, which all generate minor forms of card advantage and adds am element of tempo to the otherwise go-wide agro style. None of therse cards are essential, and copies can be cut to make room for more powerful cards as they become available.

Represents the removal sweet, but can easily be adjusted to fit your collection. LDA is extremly powerful given our manabase, and the remaining 2 were from the NPE 2023 Collection.

These represent late additions to the 2023 Standard, which punch above their weight with regards to board presence. Toxic doesn't often become a win condition, but does give your opponent something else to worry about. Further testing may be needed for these cards.
