Deck Challenge: Black, Red, Blue

I've been looking to make a :manau::manab::manar: deck for quite some time, but they usually always have too many themes going on to be effective. So I thought I'd post here to see what you all can come up with.

Some limitations:
-Around $50. Cards from ChannelFireball are usually the cheapest around.
-Keeps relatively true to the overall elements of each color. (i.e. control, discard, burn).
-Not Grixis unearth based (but may contain grixis cards).
-Restricted to Legacy legal cards.
-Must have exceptional artwork. After all, the artwork is one of my favorite parts of MTG. Artists include but aren't limited to Raymond Swanland, Dan Scott, Chippy, Véronique Meignaud, Aleksi Briclot, Jason Felix, Philip Straub, Vance Kovacs, etc.

Sounds like it could be the makings of a decent deck. I should've specified that I didn't want banned cards thrown into the mix. So not so much legacy legal. Also, I'd prefer to stay away from the use of any infinite combo's.

...The fact that you ask that confuses me D_Roc as all sets in magic history are legacy legal....there are a few selected banned cards they are found here:http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=judge/resources/sfrlegacy
So yeah...decks with anything from Alpha to M11 are legal.
P.S. My deck is almost done, I'll edit my post soon with it up.

Came out to about $30, and if you didn't like the art on most of these cards, I did...Chainer's Edict, The Ultimatum and Elder Mastery have my favorite art among them
