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!

How to Play

Strategy I: Try to mill opponent.

Deck discussion for Budget Decks: Defender

I would change from "Guard Gomazoa" to "Wall of Denial". The jellyfish can be pretty easily killed by a bolt, the wall should hold out longer. Backdraw of the wall is, that it's mana costs are more complicated
I would also up the number of "Perimeter Captain" and "Doorkeeper" to 4, as they are your main tactic to win.
"Curse of the Bloody Tome" is normally to slow with it's milling, i don't know i it works well in this deck. If you want to handicap your enemy, try "Chronic Flooding"
Also good walls/defenders are "Wall of Omens" (Carddraw), "Wall of Tanglecord" (Strong & possible reach) and "Steel Wall" (Cheap)

You gave good ideas, but Wall of Denial and Wall of Omens are far too priceful for a budget deck.
In the other hand, Wall of Tanglecord would fit just fine.

Our local dealer wants 2€ for one Wall of Denial, on other platforms it ranges from 0,15€ to 0,5€ ;)

Another strategy is add Galvanic Alchemist, when Soulbound to Axebane, with at least 4 defenders, you have infinite mana

I added just one, because its not really this deck's idea.
It would be somekind of emergency plan.
