Due to my limited collection I request mostly strategy advice as opposed to "add this ultra rare card that you don't have." thank you. In this deck I attempt to use low-abilitie characters in order to gain initiative and then play effective enhancements as well as some white banding, my defense is a Sadducees banding defense.

I would try to get more doms.

I would try to get more doms.
The problem I foresee is the ability to obtain some of them. You should at least be able to get a Burial, since it is a starter dom, but I won't suggest more to you if you are trying to minimize cost.
The main problem you are going to have is that almost everything you use can be negated. If you run across a KoT, for example (used in a lot of meta for some reason), it will eat you up. On the flip side, there are a lot of interrupts/negates you will see attack your defense, and I don't know how well it'll hold up, not to mention FBTNB.
As far as going really cheap, it's not bad :) Unfortunately it won't win to much at higher tournaments. Such is the nature of the meta :(

Thank you for your opinions they are greatly appreciated, I'll see what I can do about negation and dig up a burial.

First off I edited your post so that the deck will actually make more sense and players can give better advice.
Your deck has WAY too much going on man a deck should have no more then 2 colors of each side unless if you are using a certain strat. that requires you to use more brigades (such as Sammy decks). At the very least put in all 4 starter doms! Earlier another player noted you will have trouble vs Immunity, FBTN and Ignore but those problems are easily avoided with smart playing and the use of old school arts Holy of Holies, Kings Sword and Priestly Breastplate. All of those arts are either commons from priests or come in the starter deck.
So just try and focus your deck a bit more and you should be fine. Remember its not that hard to be competitive with a low budget deck. I still place at tournys on occasion with my Pats and earlier deck!
Even though its REALLY outdated I would recommend looking at the deck advice section of Redemption CA and even though it was written for Warriors Era decks the advice still applies for today when it comes to good low budget decks.
