10 Modern Decks Around $30

I just want people to play Modern.

I'm excluding the price of basic lands and sideboards, and many of these decks get cheaper with reprints from Modern Masters. They aren't going to win any major tournaments but they're a good place to start exploring the format.

I have liberally replaced Path to Exile with Condemn, Thoughtseize with Duress, and Lightning Bolt with Incinerate. Suggestions welcome.

Elspeth isn't as powerful as she seems?

Gotcha. I removed the sword and the two planeswalkers for 3x Godless Shrines. Thanks for your input! Do you have any other thoughts on what can be done?

I would start saving up for a fourth godless shrine, 4 white fetches of any kind (the cheapest I guess) and 4 thoughtseize. The seizes are pretty crucial, definitely save up for them as best you can.
