I made this deck with a tight budget in mind. I think the only card that costs over $1.99 is the Ratchet Bomb, and it's just a sideboard card that can be easily replaced.

The idea is to get Delver of Secrets out on turn one. Turn 2+ use counters/bouncers/tappers aggressively to keep your opponent one step behind you while you dish out damage.
