This isn't an especially great version of burn, but can be built for ~$100. I'm not sure what your deck would be able to do about this one simply outrunning you.
If you want to get into Magic for less than $100, try to convince your store to run pauper, or commander. Any of the traditional 60 card formats will be basically impossible to get into cheaply.
