So I've put together a bit of a Soldier Tribal deck on MTGO. It was originally a budget list I found and then I took out some of the more crappy cards and added some answers, removal and a bit of artifact ramp. I was wondering if anyone had some more insight. I am trying to keep the cost down but the deck doesn't have to stay strictly tribal at all, I just thought it looked fun. As always, thanks for the input!
A good friend of mine runs a list similar to this one, one thing that gets out of hand really quick for them is Crescendo of War they also use Anax and Cymede for their commander with reusable triggers that have buy back and enchantments that go back to hand.

So I've put about 13 tickets into this deck so far (it initially cost around 12 w/ Tajic) and it's playing MUCH smoother! It's really a lot of fun and can totally get out of hand! All the cards are under 1 ticket with a few exceptions like Sol Ring and Top but make the deck play a lot smoother.
Played a few more games tonight and the plays much smoother with the additions I've made. Some of the creatures make so little of an impact that I wonder if I might be better off going full blown tokens rather than playing the weenie strategy (also would add more buff enchantments).
Tokens is definenty one of the stronger strategies on mtgo. It lets you fly under the radar and can have explosive turns. It can also be wrath resiliant if built right (enchanments/ mass token producers).

I'm digging through magiccards.info but am not finding too many soldier token producers.

Do you have what it takes to survive?
That's a very interesting enchantment!
Harsh Mercy is good in tribal decks with White.
Card draw is going to be rough for you. Wheel of Fortune, Mind's Eye, Staff of Nin and Reforge the Soul are all possbilities.
You will not receive nearly as much hate with this deck, that's for sure.
EDIT- Just realized you were looking for budget suggestions, but some of these are pretty cheap. While others... aren't.
Most recently looking at Morinfen!
