Sounds Great! Please Share with your friends, and hopefully at some point this list will gain popularity! I really made this list cause all of the budget list i can find now are a bit out of date. So i figured it was time to give back a little! Anyway, Thanks for the Upvote and the great suggestions.

Thank you for curating this resource. Here are some things you're missing (based on TCGPlayer SP or better prices--there are versions of all of these cards sub-$2.00)
Nature's Lore, Chaos Warp, Oblation, Talisman of Indulgence, Talisman of Impulse, Talisman of Progress, Talisman of Unity, Talisman of Dominance, Coldsteel Heart, Terminate, Dreadbore, Hero's Downfall, Swords to Plowshares, Decree of Pain, Hinder, Spell Crumple, Mystic Snake... That's just what I could think of off the top of my head.

Hey Rusty! Thank you so much for the comment! I went ahead and added all the cards you suggested (minus the Tri-lands). I agree they are sweet, but the i am really trying to avoid lands, because that is a can of worms that could easily add another 100 cards. I may have to make a budget land list! (i did add the reliquary tower though. That card is too good to pass up haha)

Hey! Great list, upvoted and saved on my end.
A suggestion, Defensive Formation is amazing vs voltron or trample damage and it's cheap.

Consuming Vapors is a nice bit of tech I've used quite a lot in budget builds.

Thanks for the comment Skulloelegy! If you are looking for something similar in red, look at Retribution. I know it isn't great, but for budget build in red. Its not bad lol. Also, i went ahead and added it to the list!

Hello Hopeless1987! Thank you for the suggestions. I added all of them except treasure cruise (It was hiding in U-Utility). Thanks again!

Phyrexian Reclamation, a very powerful recursion card. Also, all of the siege cards from Fate Reforged are super cheap and all really powerful in a budget build. Palace Siege, Frontier Siege, etc.
