Kjartan any other suggestions? i was thinking Chandra Nalaar as a substitute

First thing first, if you plan to play cards like Sun Titan you'll need more than just 20 lands, or you could keep the low amount of lands, and add some more beneficial removal instead of those clunky giant. Cards like Path to Exile and Lightning Bolt would be perfect for the deck, but i know this is supposed to be a budget deck, so path might be too expensive, but bolt should be easily achieveble and a better substitude for Lightning Strike and add just 1-2 lands.
Vigilante Justice is generally not that great. I remember playing it a lot when i was all new to the game, and even though the opponents a fought didn't have that great decks either, it often lost me the game. Look at it like this: 1) It loses you a turn, where you would want to be agressive and on the curve. 2) It slows down the agressive strategy to try to play, by taking many, many turns on getteng back its value. 3) You will need to be lucky on the draw after you play it. 4) while It's good against 1 thoughness creatures like Dark Confidant and Vendilion Clique , as soon as a creature has as much as 2 thoughness, its gonna be hard for you to kill.
Gideon, Champion of Justice He's good, not great, but he's good. Generally best in mid-range decks, he can still play decent in an aggro build. I guess his biggest flaw is that he's only good against specific decks, and even there he's not usually a players first choice of walker, but he's fine, keep him if you like him.
Make your creature base a little more consistant, play test and find out just what creatures are the most usefull for you, stick to them as more than just 2-of's

Looking better already, maybe Ajani, Caller of the Pride instead of the chandras, he's only 6 bucks and waaaaay better for the deck :)
The drawback of cause being that his mane is ajani.

Also Daring Skyjek is probably the best common/uncommon there is battalion creature.

So this is not modern and you acknowledge it, change it to casual tag then.

You might want to consider using tron and removing black and adding blue or green. I have an idea for this deck but I don't want to type it out if you're not willing to at least try Tron. The idea could flop lol. I think it's still worth trying.

Hi there, My suggestions: 1) Remove Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon because it does not make much sence to add one infect creature. 2) Add more cheap spells so you dont get killed instantly against aggro decks :) Perhaps: Dragonmaster Outcast 3) And remove Dark Ritual , as it is not modern legal. :(

pr0minence without dark ritual and rite of flame ill have to consider some cheaper spells, DragonMaster outcast was a great idea, thats for the input always appreciated

Legit though. You should run Fling either in main board or in sideboard. You know, for removal :P if your creature is goi b get to die at least get something out of it.
Also I feel like this deck could be a whole lot more fun if you made it casual.

hermesmtz95 great card i have 2 lying around will work on picking up more for a sideboard, and yeah i agree really wanted a modern dragon but casual will allow Dark Ritual and other cards that are well needed
Kjartan just like you're linking a card, [ [ insert name here ] ]

OhHellfireMTG i might change this to modern, any ideas on a replacement for dark ritual?

Yeah.dark ritual and seething song are banned. I would try Desperate Ritual and Pyretic Ritual. Murder is also to slow. Doom Blade or Go for the Throat are two good options.
