Jankride Tachikaze

So, it surprises me that budget decks have overtaken both mixed and rush decks for the lists that you guys want to see.  Since the economy sucks and money is tight, I'm going to be releasing a quick series of budget decks.  We'll start with the one that just won locals for me this last week, Jankride Tachikaze.  For these budget decks, any card that costs more than a buck will be labelled with a rough pricing, so you can get a good idea of how much the deck will cost you.

Starter - Dragon Egg

Triggers - 12 crit, 4 Heal

Grade 1's

4x Sonic Noah
4x Null Guard (5-8 dollars)
4x Winged Dragon, Skyptero
2x Winged Dragon, Beamptero
 
Grade 2's

4x Vanilla 10k
3x Winged Dragon, Slashptero
2x Dragon Cannon Fire, Cannon Gear
2x Savage Archer
 
Grade 3's

4x Ravenous Dragon, Battlerex (1-4 dollars)
2x Ancient Dragon, Spinodriver (7-10 dollars)
2x Ancient Dragon, Stegobuster

The idea for the deck is to have a very tricky Vanguard row. Even if you miss the break ride, Battlerex's power can shoot up like crazy late game by drive checking a grade 3 and offing a Beamptero or Slashptero for a massive 13k power boost. Additionally, you can compensate for minusing with even more plus-power on your third row if you miss the 21k set-up with Stego and Noah or by bringing units like Dragon Egg and Skyptero back to your hand. If you hit the break ride, awesome. Your backrow (which are tough to target with retirement shifting to mostly front row lately) is where all of your recycling units are, so they can't even really stop your plussing from the break ride by swinging into your units.  Even if they do hit your backrow, you can just counterblast 1 and add them back to your hand regardless.  All-in-all, I've found it to be very consistent in making good rows, and very deadly/trolly lategame with the ability to break a full 15k guard by checking a single grade 3. ~_~ And it's really fun.

Odds of breaking a two-to-pass late game:
Situation A: 8/49 times, you break a two-to-pass on your first check.
Situation B: 16/49 times you hit a trigger which you can stack on your Vanguard because the odds of breaking a two-to-pass are ENORMOUS.
Situation C: 25/49 times you hit nothing.

Situation D: 8/49 times, you break the two-to-pass on your second check.
Situation E: 16/49 times you hit a trigger on the second drive check. If situation B occurred, you just broke the two-to-pass.
Situation F: 25/49 times you hit nothing.

8/49 times you break it with Situation A and any other situation. = 16.32%
16/49 times * 24/49 times you break the two-to-pass by hitting either a double trigger or a trigger into a grade 3. = 16%
Situation C you only hit it if you hit Situation D = 25/49 * 8/49 = 8.33%

Add them together for a total of 40.65%. With standard grade 3 ratios.

Total cost:  (Assuming 6 dollar nulls, 3 dollar Battlerexes, and 8 dollar Spinodrivers) 52 bucks + commons and rares.  Roughly 60-65 total.  This makes it about 30% cheaper than a standard Ancient Dragon deck, which is already known as one of the more budget builds.
