The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

Are you bored? Does Magic: The Gathering feel old and vapid? Got any useless bucks in your bank account? Ladies and Gentlemen, I have solution.
Use your bank account on nearest MtG marketplace website and buy some cheap cards, craft a deck, and challenge your friends! To double the fun, ask your friend to create such a deck too!
The Budget Decks -series is meant for your free time! These are meant to inspire you, and deck's value is meant to be low! (Between 10 and 20 bucks.)

How to Play

Not bad.
Use the affinity mechanic to reduce mana cost to minimal.
Hold the line until your flying creatures can devastate the opposition!

-Qumulox and Broodstar are both fine attackers. Even Spire Golem does the trick if you use Gravitational Shift.
-Gravitational Shift weakens your opposing creatures and makes even Ornithopter into ferocious attacker!
-Counterspells and Sleep keeps your opponent down.
-Accorder's Shield is 0 mana artifact that helps to get affinity and even gives your attacker vigilance!

This is a very good deck and its very cheap :D
But it could be a lot stronger,for ex
Instead of negate i would add mana leak
And instead of broodstar i would add master of
Etherium,but he can't really fit into a budget
Deck aldo he is a lot better,just think of that
But make shure u replace negate with mana leak

I really like this! What about Memnite, Welding Jar or Artifact Lands? I definitely might purchase this deck!

Artifact lands are... Well, priceful.
Memnite too.
Welding Jar... Hmmph... Maybe?

4x cranial plating and 4x seat of the synod keep this budget also thought cast is probably the most powerful card in the deck so it should be 4
So
-6 islands
-2 accorders Sheild
-1 spire golem. (Gets worse with less islands so if you add artifact lands maybe cut them completely and add bone saw as a 0 drop artifact to speed you up)
+ 4 seat of the synod
+1 thoughtcast
+4 cranial plating

This should put you right at 20 which according to your intro was the upper price range

Etherium Sculptor instead of Silver Myr, instead of providing 1 mana and been tap, it passively reduce all artifact by 1 for the same CMC and it's 1/2 instead of 1/1 and still an artifact for affinity

I would have other suggestion, but it wont remain budget
- Grand Architect
-Master Transmuter
-Vedalken Engineer
-Solemn Simulacrum

I used all those in my Mindslaver deck

Myr Enforcer could be a nice addition also. :)

Actually, it wouldn't be bad at all...
Except the Gravitational Shift makes it worse.

Assert Authority is a cheaper counter than Mana Leak and fits with the Affinity /Cheap theme you try here even tough you cant counter before you put some atifacts in!
