A strong first pick is Draconic Destruction, because its a preconstructed Commander deck you can buy and play right away, no brewing required
Where Ishkanah really shines is its activated ability it's easy enough to fill your board with a lethal amount of spiders with cards like Arachnogenesis and Spider Spawning, so you can expect to pay that 7 mana and pump out 10+ damage with each activation

Skip the $20+ cards (Thrumming Stone, Coat of Arms, Cover of Darkness) and the deck still hums: Commander: Karumonix, the Rat King (~$1) Engines: Pack Rat (~$3.30), Piper of the Swarm (~$3), Ogre Slumlord (~$0.45), a couple of Relentless Rats / Rat Colony (~$56 each cap the copies to stay on budget) Payoffs/utility: Crypt Rats (~$0.50), Nezumi Bone-Reader (~$0.40), Bontu the Glorified (~$3) as a sac outlet, Throne of the God-Pharaoh only if budget allows The rest: cheap black removal, Swamps, and a Sol Ring The whole list comes in well under $50, and it scales up gracefully add Marrow-Gnawer and Thrumming Stone later and the same shell jumps several power levels
Conclusion In conclusion, the realm of Magic: The Gathering is replete with cards that tickle the funny bone and infuse the game with a lighthearted atmosphere
