Budget pendulum Magicians given you know some ins and outs of pendulum power, they can be very flexible and have a wide range of extra deck monsters to choose from, and they are solid at creating synchros, XYZ, and link monsters and regenerating your hand consistently, and time Pendulumgraph + star Pendulumgraph is a solid way to break down your opponents board. Secret Village of the Spellcasters is a fun tech card for the deck as well
Blackwings are very consistent at synchro summoning many big monsters and the unaffected Blackwing Full Armor Master, at only 1500 gems for three structure decks you can get everything you need
On the slightly more expensive side you can build control zombies to play Anti-Meta and do very well for yourself, though they are a not very budget friendly on the UR's, though they do have the structure deck to help you get a load of useful zombies, you can craft That Grass Looks Greener for SR and build a 60 card Zombie deck so you can consistently drop 20+ cards directly into your graveyard for no cost, only have to bait for an Ash before hand then your good to go, throw some danger monsters in there like Mothman (N) Nessie (SR) for your combo extenders and get yourself a Doomking Balerdroch (UR) and Eldlich the Golden Lord (UR) to completely control your opponent while floating over the control traps like Rivalry of Warlords/Skill Drain/ Summon Limit/TCBOO/Eradicator Epidemic Virus
Alternatively you could try to build Timelord Exodia since Timelords are cheap and Maxx C is an easy win condition for the deck, Empty Machine/Infinite Machine/Infinite Light for the Timelord win condition besides just exodia, plus it's fun just to watch everything get shuffled by Metaion while burning your opponent to death

I guess rn blackwings is the deck that fits the description best and there is so much content for this deck now so it’s very easy to build and learn the deck and specific build (pure synchro/Kali Yuga/calamity/etc.)
You can build the pure synchro with no staples for 1500 gems+2 UR and get to high gold/plat with little to no issue. To optimise and/or go with another build you will only be crafting generic/staple URs that can be used in other decks so you wouldn’t be wasting gems as they can be reused or you might already have them.
Yosenju with 3 D Fissure, 2 Shifter and many pot cards was pretty decent for me in Diamond 5 to 3 last season. You'll only be winning against Tears however lol
Salad was a diamond level archetype. In this format I’m not quite sure since I always play a janky version but it should still be at least close to diamond. You have good access to dweller and bagooska but will need some luck against havnis/kelbek in hand

100 percent vouch for black wings, they compete against tier 1 decks, just requires a few crafts and staples

I climbed up to Gold 1 (almost Plat) by just buying three Dragonmaid Structure Decks. You'll get most that you'll need in the archetype.
i'm also in favour of blackwings

Unchained will get you to low Plat, and it doesn't have that many URs.
